Its Most Striking Characteristic and Most Beneficent Achievement

We recently addressed a letter to a number of leading men asking them to tell us what in their opinion was the most striking characteristic and most beneficent achievement of the Queen's Reign. We think the following replies, with the autographs reproduced in facsimile, will be of interest to our readers:—

I. — By Dr. Conan Doyle

I am often sent conundrums of this sort by various magazines, and I never remember answering one before. Since you make a point of it, however, I send my opinion for what it is worth — which is, that Chloroform is the most beneficent invention of Her Majesty's Reign.

Yours very truly
A Conan Doyle.
