Professor Elmslie sdeath. For some months he had not been well. He found it necessary to take longer holidays than usual during the summer, and, in accordance with medical advice, spent most of September in the Engadine. Soon after his return he complained of illness :one day he fainted in a railway station, and he consented to reduce his public work, and to undertake not more than one sermon on a Sunday. He had en gaged to preach anniversary sermons on Sunday, November 3, for his friend the Rev. John Watson, of Sefton Park, Liverpool, who had himself been seriously ill. But he complained of neuralgia, and when the time came his wife thought it desirable to accompany him. In the forenoon he preached with great vigour, but by medical advice remained at home in the evening. He came back to London still far from well. On Thursday he was compelled to lie down. His temperature was very high, and he suffered from distressing pains in the head. All attempts to reduce the temperature failed, and on Tuesday the doctors declared the disease to be typhoid with complications.
