    TESTIMONIALS. \Reprinted with Sir William Gairdner s permission.] From W. T. Gairdner, M.D., LL.D., F.R.C.P.E.; Regius Professor of Practice of Medicine in the University of Glasgow; Physician in Ordinary to Her Majesty the Queen in Scotland; Physician to the Western Infirmary, Glasgow. University of Glasgow, \st July, 1891. Having had, more than anyone else, I believe, occasion to know and appreciate Dr. Middleton, more especially in his qualifications as a teacher, during eleven years past, it would be extremely ungrateful on my part were I not to aid him, to the utmost I can, in his candidature for the Chair of Medicine in Aberdeen. And such aid can be given most effectually, perhaps, by the simple statement of the fact, that during these eleven years from 1880 onwards, all the tutorial work in my classes, both Systematic and Clinical, was for several years conducted by him alone, and latterly by him with another, and junior assistant. Dr. Middleton has thus acquired a thorough knowledge of the wants and the ways of medical students, and a large and fruitful influence over them in their studies. He has also very frequently lectured for me, when called away or when ill accidentally, often on the shortest notice, and always with acceptance.
