Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

Sir David Drummond, who had been an Honorary Member of the Association since 1925, died on April 28 last. He was born in 1852, and graduated M.B., M.Ch. at Trinity College, Dublin, in 1874; he took his M.D. in 1876. He spent the greater part of his life in Newcastle-on-Tyne, and at the Royal Infirmary of that city he was elected Pathologist and Assistant Physician in 1878. Later he became Physician, and on his retirement in 1912 he was made Consulting Physician. His name was a household word in the greater part of Northumberland and Durham, in which counties he had a very large consulting practice in general medicine, always paying more attention to organic nervous disorders and to conditions arising as a sequel to syphilis. Although he never worked in a mental hospital, he was always drawn towards abnormal mental states, more especially if there was some organic basis for the mental breakdown.
