My Dear Bi.ackader, Will you kindly accept the accompanying little case, as a sHght memento of our agreeable intercourse during the time you have been working with me in my wards at the Brompton Hospital. I cannot too emphatically express to you my high appreciation ot the able and conscientious manner in which you have performed the duties of your responsible office. In leaving my patients in your charge I have always had the great satisfaction of feeling that they were in kind and skilful hands, and that no important symptom would in my absence escape being recorded. Your careful clinical work will, I am confident, bear you ample fruit in future professional success. With very kind regards. Believe me, Yours truly, R. DOUGLAS POWELL, M.D., F.R.C.P. From Ed. Nettleship, Esq., F. R. C. S., Sarffeon to the Roijal South London Ophthalmic Hospital. 4 WiMPOLE Street, Cavendish Square, W., September 27th, 1876. I have known Dr. A. D. Blackader for several months, and have pleasure in stating that for the la;>t two months he has undertaken and carried out in a very satisfactory manner the duties of Clinical Assistant at the Sou.h Ix)ndon Ophthalmic Hospital. The work involves seeing and prescribing for a large number of out-patients, besides assisting at operations, and giving auit-sthetics, and Dr. Blackader has displayed great care, industry and intelligence in the discharge of these duties. ,■. Dr. Blackader's engagemenf at the hos]>ital was only a temporary one, during the absence of the Clinical Assistant ; but I should consider him well fitted to fill the post permanently, if there were a vacancy. . , .,. , . ,. , _ ., EDWARD NETTLESHIP, F.

I have liad considerable opportunities of judging of Dr. Hiackader during the period of six months, when lie held the post of Clinical Assistant at the Hrompton Hospital, and I do not hesitate to say that his conduct was in every respect admirable. He not only showed a genuine love for his profession, but he exhibited considerable aptitude in devis- ing and carrying out original work ; and, at the same time, acted with great kindness and consideration to the patients. His energy, industry, and perseverance qualify him for any hospital or public appointmint. C. THEODORE WH.LIAMS, M.A., M.D., F. K.C.I'. I From W.

Dr. Blackader acted as locum tenens 11 regard successively to the offices of House Surgeon and INJedical Registrar and at the Hospital for Sick Children, and I have great pleasure in testifying to the care and efficiency with which he performed both duties. In relation to the work which falls to the physician, I consider Dr. Hlackader to lie competent to hold an important and responsible hospital office. In every respect his performance of duty was such as 10 entitle him to confidence and respect. W. HOWSHIP DICKINSON, M.D. From E. H. Secco.mhe, E.sq., M. B.

I have much pleasure in stating that Mr. Hlackader has perfomied the duties of Ht)use Surgeon to the Royal Pimlico Dispensary, during a period of two months, under my observation, and to my entire satisfaction, and to the benefit of the p:itients under his care. He has shown considerable zeal and ability, and will, I am confident, do justice to any appointment he may obtain. E. H.

Dr. Blackader discharged his duties of Medical Registrar to the Hospital for Sick Children, for several weeks, in a manner wholly satisfactory. He seemed to me to be a man well versed in his pro- fession. He was a very agreeable associate also. So that I believe him to be well fitted for any medical appointment at a general hospital.
