ARTHUR E. AUSTIN was born in Boston, April 11, 1862, but as his parents moved to Augusta, Maine, when he was eight years old, he was fitted for college in the schools of the latter city. At the age of eighteen he entered Bowdoin College, and received his A. B. in 1883.

After teaching for one year he entered the Harvard Medical School, from which he received his M. D. in 1887. In the same year Bowdoin conferred upon him the degree of A. M. Since 1887 Dr. Austin has been practicing at No. 585 Washington Street, Boston. In 1893 he received the appointment of Professor of Medical Chemistry in the Tufts Medical School. He has published two pamphlets, one on " Renal Diseases," and the other on "The Clinical Value of Renal Casts."
