CAMPBELL 193 CAMPBELL University of Nashville and Vanderbilt Uni- versity. "I have a lively recollection," said his col- league, Dr. Daniel Wright, "of his lectures, which had for their main subject the mode of action of remedies in the human system. In treating this subject he manifested a pro- found acquaintance for so young a man with the subjects of pathology and therapeutics, and applied that knowledge with an originality of thought still more remarkable." He married at Nashville, Tennessee, Febru- ary 24, 1858, Delia Jefferson, daughter of Dr. John Pryor Ford, and had one child, a daugh- ter. Dr. Callender died in Nashville, Tennessee, in August, 1896, of acute colitis. William D. Haggard. Nashville Jour. Med. and Surg., 1896, vol. Ixxx. Trans. Med. Soc. Tennessee, 1897, Campbell, Francis Wayland (1837-190S) Francis W. Campbell, Montreal, son of RoUo Campbell, was born in Montreal, November 5, 1837, graduated at McGill in 1860 and was first registrar of the medical faculty of Bishops College when it was organized in March, 1871. He was married in 1861 in Greenock, Scotland, to Agnes Stuart Rodger of that town. In 1883 he was elected dean and professor of medicine, positions which he held till 1905, when the medical faculty was amalgamated with McGill University. For ten years he was secretary of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Quebec. He received the degree of M. A. in 1871 and D. C. L. in 1895 from the University with which he was asso- ciated, and he was L. R. C. P., London, Eng- land. He was editor of the Canada Medical Journal from 1864 to 1872, and of the Canada Medical Record for thirty years more. For forty-three years he was connected with the militia of Canada and rose to the rank of surgeon-lieutenant-colonel. He died on May 4, 1905, from diabetes. Andrews Macphail. Cyclop. Canadian Biog., G. M. Rose, Toronto, 1888. Campbell, George W. (1810-1882) George W. Campbell of Montreal was born in Roseneath, Dumbartonshire, Scotland, in 1810. His father was deputy-lieutenant of Dumbarton, his mother a daughter of Donald Campbell of Ardnacross, Argyleshire. A graduate in Arts of Glasgow, he entered early on his medical studies, which he pursued in the universities of Glasgow and Dublin. After graduating with distinction at the former in 1832, he came to Canada in May, 1833, and settled in Montreal, then a very small town. He took up his residence in St. Gabriel Street close to the river bank and with singular good fortune at once took a leading position in the profession as well as in society. In 1835 he was appointed lecturer on mid- wifery and professor of surgery in McGill University. He taught midwifery until 1842 and surgery until 1875, when he resigned. In 1860 he became dean of the medical faculty, a position which he held up to the very hour of his death. His term of active service as surgeon of the Montreal General Hospital ex- tended over a period of thirty years and he died as senior member of the consulting staff and one of the committee of management. Surgery was always his forte and his great reputation was chiefly made by many success- ful achievements in operative work. His style of lecturing was clear, forcible and impressive. Hundreds of practitioners throughout the con- tinent and elsewhere owe the foundations of their surgical knowledge to his early teaching. For forty years he dominated medical teaching and practice in Montreal. He did not write much for the medical journals. "Deeds, not words," was his motto, but his work as a successful teacher and as a member of the corporation of the university, led to the bestowal of the honorary degree of LL.D. in 1860. Among the cases recorded by Dr. Campbell are : "Aneurysm of the innominate artery- ligature of the common carotid;" "Osteo- cephaloma of the humerus — amputation of the shoulder-joint;" "Ligature of the gluteal artery for traumatic aneurysm," and "Excision of the elbow." For some years previous to his death Dr. Campbell suffered from bronchitis and was obliged to retire from active practice and give himself rare rest. He had a touch of pneumonia when in London on a visit in 1882, but being somewhat better he went to Edin- burgh, where more serious symptoms showed themselves, and he died on the thirtieth of May of that year.
