Fiske-Fund Prize
Questions. – We see by the following notice, that Dr. E. S. Gaillard,
Surgeon of the First Regiment Maryland Volunteers, has just taken the Fiske-Fund
Prize.
“The trustees of the Fiske Fund, at the annual meeting of
the Rhode Island Medical Society, held in
Providence
,
June 12, 1861
, announced that they had awarded a premium of one hundred dollars to E. S.
Gaillard, M. D., for the best dissertation on ‘Ozone – its relations to
health and disease.’”
The essays were handed in by the first of May. May-be the
enterprising Rhode Islanders intended to steal the money back from the Doctor,
if they encountered him at
Manassas
. No doubt some that came with Governor Sprague had that idea in view when they
enlisted.
