Dr. Holloway gave his practice the closest attention and was renowned for his prompt- ness in meeting all engagements. Although a great sufferer from gout, rarely did it keep him from work, and it was no unusual sight to see him visiting patients with his foot swathed in flannels. He was very much be- loved by his clientele and generally well liked by the profession. It is claimed that Dr. Holloway was the physician who suggested to the late Emil SchefTer, the pioneer manu- facturer of pepsin, the substitution of the pep- sin from the hog's stomach instead of that of the calf as an aid to digestion. In 1858 Hollo- way married Annie Warren and had five chil- dren, one of whom, Samuel Warren, also be- came a doctor. J. G.^RLAND ShERRIL. Amer. Tour. Med. Assoc, 1905, vol. xlv, 1671. South.
