[ENCLOSURE 1.]
DREADNOUGHT HOSPITAL.
GREENWICH,
LONDON, S.E.
We have much pleasure in stating that Dr. Francis Clark has held the appointment of Resident House Physician to the Seamen's Hospital, Greenwich, for a period of five and a half months during the present year, and has performed the duties of that office to our entire satisfaction.
The Hospital contains 250 beds, while about 20,000 outpatients, including women and children, are treated annually, and the London School of Clinical Medicine is attached to the Hospital, which thus affords ample opportunity to medical officers desirous of bringing their knowledge of Medicine and Surgery absolutely up to date.
During his tenure of this appointment Dr. Clark has shown that he possesses a thorough and extensive knowledge of his profession in its clinical aspects, and has proved himself to be a skilled physician and a most courteous colleagne, while his extensive knowledge of parasitology and of the diseases peculiar to tropical climates is evidenced by the fact that he was successful in obtaining, in August last, the Diploma in Tropical Medicine of the University of Cambridge.
Dr. Clark is now spending the remaining four months of his leave as Resident Medical Officer to the Royal Waterloo Hospital for children and women, in order that he may make a further study of the most modern methods of treatment of the disenses peculiar to women and children. This Hospital contains 90 beds and treats nearly 10,000 outpatients annually, and will therefore afford him ample opportunity for this purpose.
We have no hesitation in saying that, in our opinion, Dr. Clark is fully competent to act either as Medical Superintendent or as Consulting Medical Officer to any Hospital.
