Background
Sir William first clearly distinguished typhus and typhoid fevers, and was President of the Royal College of Physicians 1881-1888.
The recipient is almost certainly the distinguished ophthalmologist and surgeon Mr Carsten HOLTHOUSE (1810-1901), a medical colleague of Jenner’s. Both were original members of the Pathological Society of London, and both were fellows of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society of London.
