NOTTINGHAM, April, 1873.
I have known Mr. E. H. Lineker for the last twenty years, and can speak most confidently of his professional attainments. He has faithfully fulfilled several important posts requiring great trust, skill, steadiness, and attention, always, I believe, with credit to himself and benefit to others. I know him as a gentleman of education and moral worth, sound and safe in his medical and surgical knowledge, invariably kind to those under his care. Mr. Lineker is admirably adapted to fill any medical appointment, public or private, and from his general acquirements would prove a valuable officer to any institution.

NOTTINGHAM, June, 1874.
I have known Mr. Lineker for some years as an able and successful practitioner. I have had ample opportunitics of forming an opinion as to his professional attainments, which I consider of high order.
He is not only most kind and attentive to those entrusted to his charge, but combines in a rare degree the qualities of a skilful surgeon with a precision of diagnosis in medical cases which entitles him to rank high as a physician.
