CLARK, SIR ANDREW (1826-1893), British physician, was born at Aberdeen on Oct. 28, 1826, and died in London on Nov. 6, 1893. After studying at Aberdeen and Edinburgh he showed symptoms of tuberculosis and joined the navy medical department for the sake of the sea voyages. Actually he served at Haslar Hospital, and in 1853 retired from the service, became curator of the museum of the London Hospital, and next year assistant physician there. In 1888 he became president of the College of Physicians, an office which he continued to hold till his death on Nov. 6, 1893. Though busy, he wrote many books, all in precise and polished style. Doubtless owing largely to per sonal reasons, lung diseases and especially fibroid phthisis formed his favourite theme but he also discussed other subjects, such as renal inadequacy, anaemia, constipation, etc.
