Abstract

Thomas Lewis was born at Cardiff on 26 December 1881. After a life of intense activity and while still in full mental vigour, he died on 17 March 1945, from a fourth attack of coronary thrombosis. A great pioneer and leader in the field of medical science, he gained a world-wide reputation in both physiology and clinical medicine. By teaching and example and his single- minded devotion to its cause, over a crowded period of about forty years, he did more than any predecessor to foster and establish what he called ‘clinical science’ as a chief branch of medical knowledge in this country and abroad.
