    x\n Medicine,” 1858 [this has reached its seventh edition], (15) “ On the Growth of the Recruit and the Young Soldier ” [now in its second edition]. (16) “ On the Doctrine of Evolution in its Applica- tion to Pathology,” 1885-86. (17) “ On the Animal Alkaloids.” Aitken was a man of somewhat reserved and reticent speech, but what he said was pregnant with science and common-sense. He was of a most kindly, genial nature, loyal to his profession, devoted to his friends, and just to all. His pei’sonal character endeared him to every one. His frank, straightforward mode of expressing his opinions, tempered as they were by sound judgment and discretion, made him respected and esteemed, and contributed, in no small measure, to the formation of the reputation of one of that small but remarkable group of men to whom the great Army Medical School owes its rise, development, and success. Regretted universally by friends and colleagues, it is in the great School of Military Medicine, which owes him so much, that his loss will be most keenly felt. His merits have not escaped some recognition. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1873. In 1887 he received the honour of knighthood. The Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, in 1888, conferred on him the degree of LL.D., whilst on the walls of the ante-room at Netley is an excellent portrait presented by his numerous friends, admirers, and pupils. May his memory long continue to influence coming generations of medical officers in the School he loved so well! J. F. UAEEISON AND SONS, PEINTBBS IN OEDINAET TO HEE MAJESTY, ST. MAETIN’s LANE.
