His See also:life was divided between two See also:great pursuits—the career of a surgeon, and the mastery and See also:solution of many of the great problems of sanitary See also:science and reform. In the See also:spring of 1844 he gained the first See also:Astley See also:- COOPER

time, and of the utmost value in directing See also:energy into new and profitable channels of See also:work. Simon published many clinical surgical lectures of the greatest importance, and contributed a masterly See also:article on " Inflammation " to See also:Holmes's See also:System of Surgery, which has become a classic of its See also:kind. It was, however, on his See also:appointment in 1848 as medical officer of See also:health to the See also:City of London, and afterwards to the See also:government, that Simon's great abilities found See also:- SCOPE (through Ital. scopo, aim, purpose, intent, from Gr. o'KOaos, mark to shoot at, aim, o ic07reiv, to see, whence the termination in telescope, microscope, &c.)
scope for congenial exercise. He stimulated and guided the development of sanitary science, until it reached in See also:England the highest degree of excellence, and gave an example to the civilized See also:world. It is impossible to overestimate the value of Sir John Simon's work, or the importance of his See also:influence in the furtherance of the public health and the prevention of disease, and in inculcating right methods of medical government. In 1878, after filling other offices in the Royal College of Surgeons, he became its See also:president, and in 1887 was created K.C.B. It was largely due to his advocacy that the new St Thomas's Hospital was rebuilt on its See also:present site after it was compelled to leave its old habitation near London See also:Bridge. As a surgeon, Simon's work came second to his See also:interest in sanitary science, but he claimed priority over See also:Cock in the operation of perineal puncture of the urethra in cases of retention from stricture. He died on the 23rd of See also:July 1904. (W. MACC).
