On Monday night last, Joseph BRANDRETH, M.D in the 70^th year f his age, after a long and painful illness, which he bore with Christian fortitude, and with perfect resignation to the will of his creator He commenced his career with no other advantages than his own industry and talents; and his perseverance was rewarded with unexampled success in his profession. His mind was ardent in the pursuit of knowledge and notwithstanding the avocations of a most laborious life, his reading was universal, and few discoveries of science escaped his enquiry. He was possessed of a most accurate and tenacious memory, which he ascribed to his habit of depending upon it without referring to notes. His medical course was principally distinguished by the establishment of the Dispensary in Liverpool, by 30 years unremitted attention to the infirmary, and by the discovery of the utility of applying cold in fever – there are few persons in this neighbourhood who have not had the opportunities of judging his worth, and who will not regret his loss.
