Excerpt from The Surgical Treatment of the Diseases of Infancy and Childhood It would be ungrateful of me not to acknow ledge how much I am indebted to my colleagues at the Hospital for Sick Children - particularly Mr. T. Smith - for much valuable assistance, and to the Managing Committee for indulgence extended to me of late when I have been prevented from rendering much active service to the Hospital. Circumstances compel me to sever my connexion as Surgeon with that admirable Institution; but I was unwilling to resign my office until I had given this proof to my colleagues that I had at any rate attempted to use the opportunities so liberally afforded to me.
