 _____________________

We regret to announce the death of Dr. Gaillard at his home at Ocean Beach, N.J., February, 1885. Dr. Gaillard was born in Charleston, S.C., January 6th, 1827; graduated from the University of South Carolina in December, 1845, and from the South Carolina Medical College at Charleston in 1854. He engaged in the practice of medicine until the breaking out of the civil war, at which time he joined the Confederate Army and served until the war closed. At the close of the war Dr. Gaillard practiced his profession in Richmond for three years, afterward moving to Louisville, Ky.

In 1861 Dr. Gaillard received the Fiske Fund prize, and in 1865 the prize of the Georgia Medical Association. A year later he founded the Richmond Medical Journal, which he moved to Louisville in 1868, publishing it under the title of the Richmond and Louisville Medical Journal. In 1874 he established the American Medical Weekly, having the year previously received from the University of North Carolina the degrees of A.M. and LL. D. A few years ago he removed his journal and residence to New York, where he published Gaillards Medical Journal. Dr. Gaillard was a member of the various Louisville medical societies, was a correspondent of the Gynecological Society of Boston, the Louisville Obstetrical Society, an honorary member of the South Carolina Medical Association, and an honorary and corresponding member of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Arkansas.

Dr. Gaillard was elected President of the Richmond Academy of Medicine in 1867, President of the Medico-Chirurgical Society in 1868, and President of the American Mutual Benefit Association of Physicians in 1875. He was made Dean of the Louisville Medical College at its organization, and was also Dean of the Kentucky School of Medicine. Dr. Gaillard was twice married; first to a daughter of the Rev. Edward Thomas, of Charleston, who died leaving no children, and afterward, in 1865, to a daughter of Prof. C. B. Gibson, of the University of Maryland.
