Occupation Dental surgeon General surgeon
Details Born on February 20th, 1861, the son of William Paterson, of Ridge Stockland, Devonshire, a dentist who practised in Fleet Street, London. He was educated at Merchant Taylors' School from Apri1, 1875, to 1877, and then at St Bartholomew's Hospital and the Royal Dental Hospital. He was elected Dental Surgeon to St Bartholomew's Hospital on December 11th, 1884. Such was his ability and attention to the study of surgery that he qualified in general surgery by taking the FRCS examination, which early marked him as a leader of the dental profession during a special period of its development. Hence he represented the profession on many committees, meetings of societies, and congresses. He was Surgeon and Lecturer on Dental Surgery and Pathology at the Royal Dental Hospital; Examiner in Dental Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons; Dental Adviser and Examiner to the RAMC. He was President of the British Dental Association, 1911-1912; Hon President of the International Dental Association; President of the Odontological Section of the Royal Society of Medicine; an honorary member of the École Dentaire de Paris, of the Société d'Odontologie de Paris, and of the Association Général des Dentistes de France; President of the Organization and Vice-President of the International Dental Congress, 1914. Paterson filled admirably the position as representative of the profession; much travelled, a humorous personality, fond of anecdote, an ardent fisherman, he had reached the age for retiring from his practice at 7a Manchester Square, when he died suddenly on a holiday at Buncrana, Co Donegal, on September 2nd, 1924. He was survived by his wife and only child, a son, then in India.

Occupation Dental surgeon General surgeon
Details Son of a naval officer; studied at St Bartholomew's Hospital, where he had a brilliant career, and gained many honours at the London University. He was successively House Surgeon, Ophthalmic House Surgeon, Resident Midwifery Assistant, and Assistant Demonstrator of Anatomy from 1886-1890, at St Bartholomew's Hospital. In 1890 he was appointed, at St Mary's Hospital, Demonstrator of Anatomy and later Warden of the College, holding the posts for seven years. In the meantime he was elected Assistant Surgeon to the Royal Free Hospital, Lecturer on Surgery at the London School of Medicine for Women, and Surgeon in Charge of the Throat and Ear Department. A tall, handsome man, he was apt to assume a rather brusque, superior manner, and his temperament did not allow him to subordinate his views to those of his seniors. Hence he lost their support, and when a vacancy occurred for an Assistant Surgeon to St Mary's Hospital he was not elected. As regards diagnosis and skill as an operator he well maintained his early promise without devoting himself to original research. Whilst a House Surgeon he had added to Cline's side splint a foot-piece to prevent extension of the foot when a Pott's fracture was treated on the side, and this splint was named after him. He was Visiting Surgeon to the National Dental Hospital, and published some good communications on oral sepsis and cancer of the mouth, as well as a *Text-book of Oral Surgery* (8vo, London, 1898) for the use of dental students. In the Special Throat and Ear Department he operated skilfully on the mastoid antrum and nasal septum. He was Examiner in Elementary Anatomy at the Royal College of Surgeons in 1895. Nearly a year before his death he found that he was suffering from inoperable intestinal cancer. He retired from 38 Queen Anne Street to Lauderdale Mansions, Marylebone, but continued his hospital work as long as possible, courageously and uncomplainingly facing the end, which occurred on June 10th, 1913. He married but left no children. His portrait accompanies the obituary notice in the *Lancet* (1913, i, 1685, 1775) by his colleague, Dr Walter Carr, and a biographical notice by A S W appeared in the *St Bartholomew's Hospital Journal* (1912-13, xx, 182).
