DR. SAMUEL PATTON IMPEY, M.B.,C.M.,

medical and surgical degrees. On completing his course
he returned to South Africa, and commenced practice at
Kimberley. On the outbreak of the Griqua War he volunteered his services, and served throughout that campaign, and subsequently the Basuto War of 1879, obtaining the
medal for the latter. He returned to Kimberley for a time
before moving to Aliwal North, where he remained till
1887, when he again moved, first to Johannesburg and
then to Cape Town, where he was appointed to the
medical charge of the leper and lunatic asylums at Robben
Island.
While at the island he made a special study of leprosy,
and in 1895 obtained a prize given by the King (then the
Prince of Wales) tor the best work on this disease.

Colonial Government to Europe to inspect and report
upon the leper asylums. On his return he submitted a
length y report t o Parliament, and also contributed several
papers which were published by the Sydenham Society.
In 1896 he retired from the Government service to
take up private practice in Cape Town, devoting his time
principally to the diseases of the skin, which he has made
his speciality.
