stated in the most delicate terms; nor was politeness amongst his excellencies." He has the credit of having invented the cerate composed of oil, wax, and calamine -the ceratum calamina of the Pharmacopoeia, still popularly known as Turner's cerate. Dr. Turner died at his house in Devonshire-square, Bishopsgate, on the 13th March 1740-1, aged seventy-four, and was buried in the church of Watton-at-Stone, co. Herts. He deserves to be remembered was it only for the noble sentiment conveyed in the following sentence written when he was seventy-two years of age :-"Be not afraid, nor yet ashamed of your religious principles, however you keep those of politics to yourself. It can be no disgrace for a physician, who owns himself at all times no more than Nature's minister, to acknowledge himself also the servant of Nature's Master." Dr. Turner's memorial at Watton is as follows:

Nigh unto this place lye the bodyly remains of
DANIEL TURNER, M.D.,

late of the College of Physicians of London,
who departed this life on the 13th day of March, 1740,
and in the 74th year of his age.
