JOHN HOLDEN WEBB . I am house surgeon at St. Mary's Hospital—on 27th July I made a post-mortem examination of the body of Fisher—there was a blow over the right eye, a blow over the right mala bone, with an excoriation, and a blow on the left leg—I opened the head, and underneath the dura mater I found a great deal of venous extravasation—on removing the brain I found a fracture through the base of the skull dividing one of the sinuses—the other organs were healthy—the fracture was the cause of death—I think a heavy fall would cause that, not necessarily on the head—it is the weight of the body that caused the fracture, not the fall itself.3

  • 28 Oct 1890: WONDERFUL CURES AT THE MELBOURNE HOSPITAL.
    Two remarkable cases of persons being restored to sound health after being paralysed in the one case for nearly seven years, and in the other for about two years, have recently occurred at the Melbourne Hospital. In these days of faith healers and alleged miracle-workers, if these cures had been effected by either of these two agencies, the wonderful restoration to health of the afflicted persons would bave been proclaimed trumpet-tongued from the house-tops, and perhaps from more convenient places. They would have furnished the text for many a homily, and faith-healers, red flannel mag neticers, et hoc genus omne, would have pointed to these cases with triumph as a splendid vindication of their methods of healing. The cures, however, have been effected by the exercise of medical know ledge and sound common sense. They cer tainly are of a remarkable character, and deserve to be made widely known. The first case to be mentioned is that of a man, a tailor by occupation, who had been ill, suffering from paralysis some six months or so previous to his being admitted to the Hospital. He became an in-patient about 13 months since, and was admitted to the medical side of the institution. For full twelvemonth and a day, as the old ballad has it, be remained in bed completely para lysed, unable to walk or use his limbs in any way. About a month or six weeks since, the man, who is about 38 years of age, was removed to the surgical side of the Hospital. He was placed under the care of Dr. J. H. Webb, the well-known surgeon. The doctor considered that this was a case which de manded "vigorous treatment," and directed the resident medical officer to use the galvanic battery upon the patient. When the latter was informed that he was to be "batteried," he became greatly agitated, and said to Dr. Boyes, "Oh, I cannot stand it ; you might as well cut my throat." The doctor, however, duly executed the orders of Dr. Webb. The patient howled and screamed at the brutality of the proceed ing, but the result was astonishing. The next day the patient, who had remained in bed paralysed for 12 months, was able to walk about the hospital yard. He was given cold baths in addition to the battery treatment, and in his case it may be truly said that it was a case of "Take up your bed and walk." Within four or five days the patient had completely recovered, and was able to leave the hospital. The second case is, if possible, more re markable still. The patient was a young woman, about 23 years of age, who bad been ill for nearly seven years. For five years she had been bedridden and unable to move hand or foot. She was in the Austin Hospital for Incurables 18 months, and her case was sup posed to be hopeless. Shortly after her admission to the Melbourne Hospital, it was decided to try rigorous treatment in her case. She could hear in the ward where she was lying the cries of the patient previously referred to, when he was given a touch of the galvanic battery. This seemed to alarm her greatly, and she expressed a hope that the battery would not be used in her case. It should be mentioned that the young woman had almost lost her voice, and that it had been considered advisable to stop her friends from visiting her. The visitors were in the habit of bending down over the patient, listening to her whimpers, and generally condoling with her. The medical men considered this kind of thing most in jurious, and put a stop to it. The galvanic battery was tried in her case vigorously, and the first noticable result was the great change in the patient's voice. It appeared suddenly to become quite strong. Then the cold bath treatment was resorted to, and cold douches were given plentifully. On one occasion, after a sharp shower of cold water, this patient, who had been bedridden and paralysed for five years, hopped nimbly out of the bath, and then hopped back again. The patient speedily improved in health, and was walking about the wards in two or three weeks. She was able to render assist ance to other patients, and such a gradual improvement in her health ensued that she was able to leave the Hospital thoroughly cured in less than six weeks from the day upon which her case was first taken in hand for "vigorous treatment." These two patients suffered from a peculiar form of hysteria, and the symptoms of paralysis were simulated in each case. The treatment in cases of this kind is said to be "assumed brutality," or, in other words, it is merely "being cruel only to be kind." The condoling and sympathising with pa tients of this kind is very injurious, and it is satisfactory to note that the medical men attached to the Melbourne Hospital who had charge of these cases had the sound common sense, in addition to their medical skill, to treat them in the manner related above. Two persons have been thus restored to perfect health who would otherwise very probably have remained bedridden for years, and perchance died as confirmed invalids.22
  • 9 Dec 1893: THE LAW COURTS. BEACONSFIELD HEIGHTS ESTATE COMPANY. Application was made to Mr Justice Holroyd in chambers yesterday on behalf of the Commercial Bank of Australia for final judgment in an action against the "Beaconsfield Heights Estate Company Limited to recover £2,554 and interest upon a promissory note made by the defendant company in favour of L. L. Smith and J. H. Webb and endorsed by them to the bank. The defendant asked leave to defend the action. An affidavit was made by William Brisbane acting secretary of the company to the effect that the note sued upon was one of a number given to Messrs Smith and Webb for land purchased from them that in November, 1892, it was agreed that the contract should be cancelled upon the company forfeiting the payments made and giving up the land and the vendors restoring to the company the promissory notes then current and that the deponent was afterwards told by Mr L. L. Smith's solicitor that the bank had promised to give up the note held by it upon the above arrangement being carried out. The land was given back early this year and the company was now without assets of any kind.
    Mr Justice Holroyd held that as the bank received no consideration for the alleged undertaking it was not now estopped from suing on the note. He also overruled an objection that the plaintiff had failed to show that the defendant company was a trading company with power to make negotiable instruments. The Court was entitled to infer from everyday experience that companies formed to buy and sell land were trading companies. It was a trade, and sometimes a very dirty trade, too. As the defendant was not prepared to pay the amount of the claim into court, judgment would be entered for the plaintiff with costs. Mr Vasey appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Cussen for the defendant. Louis Lawrence Smith, William Brisbane Commercial Bank of Australia Ltd23
  • 12 Dec 1895: BEACONSFIELD HEIGHTS ESTATE COMPANY. THE LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS. Mr Justice Williams yesterday delivered a reserved decision on an application made to him on the 21th October last to have the names of certain persons placed on the list of contributones of the Beaconsfield Heights Estate Company, in liquidation. The application was made by Mr Mitchell for the liquidator of the company and it was opposed by Mr H. Barrett, on behalf of A. Asher and E. J. Field, and by Mr Levinson on behalf of W Hider Smith. It appeared that Asher, Field, and Smith were formerly shareholders of the company and their names were still on the share register, and the liquidator therefore desired to have them placed on the list of contributors for calls. The grounds of the opposition to the application were that Messrs L L Smith and J H Webb were the vendors of the property to the company, that Messrs Asher, Field, and W. H. Smith were not able to pay the calls that were made by the company, and that it had formerly been agreed that if they would pay what money they could, their shares should be transferred to the vendors, and they should be freed from the shares. Asher paid £15, Field £18, and Smith £72, and they sent in transfers of their shares in blank to the directors of the company, but the shares were not transferred to Messrs L. L. Smith and J. H. Webb, and their names were left on the register. Two calls were made after they sent in their shares, but they were never asked to pay them, and it was contended that under the circumstances they had
    been freed from the shares, and could not be made contributories. Mr Mitchell stated that the liquidator found the names on the share register and therefore had to apply for them to be placed on the list of contributories. No transfers of the shares had been made to Messrs. L. L. Smith and J. H. Webb, and the directors had no power to accept surrender of the shares. Messrs. Asher, Field, and W Hider Smith were therefore liable for the shares. Mr Justice Williams in giving his decision yesterday, said he found that the directors had no power to make the arrangment to release Messrs. Asher, Field, and W Hider Smith from their liability for calls, but he also found that the company had acquiesced in that arrangement. His decision was there fore in favour of Messrs. Asher, Field, and W Hider Smith. He held that they could not be placed on the list of contributories, and the application was dismissed. Louis Lawrence Smith, William Brisbane Commercial Bank of Australia Ltd24
  • 10 Mar 1900: A case of special interest came today before the District court magistrates, when Dr J. H. Webb sued Alfred Eccles, of Abbotsford, for £39 18s medical services—19 visits at £2 2s per visit. Eccles suffered from cancer, and Dr Webb, having been very successful with a new system of treatment for the dreaded disease, agreed to attend him, but denied having guaranteed a cure. It appeared from the evidence that Eccles had much improved under the treatment, but he demurred to the charge as excessive. Defendant contended that the case was to be one of " no cure no pay," but the bench made an order for the amount claimed with costs.25
  • 1 Jul 1901: The "Intercolonial Medical Journal of Australasia" for June is to hand from the publishers, Messrs. Stillwell and Co. Among the articles is one on Antidotes in Poisoning bv Cyanide of Potassium, by Professor Martin and Mr. R. A. O'Brien, of Melbourne University, and one on Cancer and its Treatment, by Dr. J. H. Webb.26
  • 3 Jan 1908: While being operated upon for the removal of a growth on the neck, Mr. Abraham Hunt, of Fitzroy, collapsed in Dr. J. H. Webb's surgery to-day. Despite the prompt application of remedial measures, death ensued. The deceased was 54 years of age, and had been attended by Dr. Webb for cancer in the mouth.27
  • 12 Dec 1908: Those who have followed with interest the long end baffling struggle of medical science against cancer, one of the most dreaded and painful maladies which afflict humanity, will feel that a tribute is due to the efforts of Dr. J. H. Webb, the Melbourne surgeon, whose death occurred this week. This battle is not going to be won in a day. After lengthy research, the commission of investigation in England has done little more than register certain conclusions regarding the disease, and for remedial treatment patients are still dependent in the main upon the early intervention of the skilled surgeon. But an advance, the importance of which has been too little recognised, was certainly made by the late Dr. Webb, who practically devoted the last years of his life to experimenting with a curative treatment of his own devising, which, in some cases—some cases only—yielded astonishing results. There was one broad distinction between the methods of this investigator and of the unqualified persons who from time to time pose as the discoverers of secret remedies, which are never somehow submitted to satisfactory scientific tests. Whatever the extent of his success, Dr. Webb propounded his theory and his method of treatment openly. He was only anxious to convince as many members of his profession as possible of the soundness of his ideas, and induce them to give the treatment a wider trial. There was nothing monopolistic in his attitude, and that alone gave him a claim to consideration. It would be too much probably to say that any large section of the profession has taken up the Webb treatment, but assuredly many individual practitioners have been impressed with its efficacy in certain cases. To touch upon technicalities, Dr. Webb's theory was based upon the absence from cancer cells of cholesterin, a fatty crystalline substance, present in healthy tissues of the human body. He attempted to supply the lack artificially, arguing, presumably, that in this instance effect and cause might not be far removed. Cholesterin he supplied by administering to the patient a special preparation of ox-galls—which he maintained must be absolutely fresh, and manufactured with great precision. Simultaneously, be used a Iocal injection of common soap, possibly as a sort of solvent. The treatment was admitted to be quite inapplicable to that division of cancers known as sarcoma. But the claims of Dr. Webb and those who thought his method worthy of trial was that its effect was marvellous in certain cases of epithelioma, or carcinoma. Cure is an inexact word to use in this connection. We should gather that Dr. Webb's success and some of them are indisputable—lay rather in reducing the manifestations of disease, and holding the enemy at bay indefinitely. That, however, is a prodigious achievement, and the death of the medical man who groped his way so far towards the light ought not to interrupt the patient festing of his ideas.28
  • Dec 1908: OBITUARY.—It is with great regret we record the death of Mr. John Holden Webb, M.R.C.S. Eng., which occurred on December 10th, after a lingering illness. The late Mr. Webb was born in Cape Town, but educated in England at Marlborough. He studied for his profession at St. Mary's Hospital, London, where, after qualifying, he held a house appointment. Mr. Webb then proceeded to Tetley, where he went through the course of military surgery. Coming to Victoria shortly after, he was almost at once appointed resident surgeon to the Amherst Hospital, where he remained about two years. From there he went to the Creswick Hospital as resident surgeon, a position at that time offering a good field for general surgery. Subsequently, he came to Melbourne, and began practice in Powlett Street, East Melbourne. Mr. Webb very soon built up a large general practice, but become especially known as a skilful surgeon in a day when surgery was not as popular as at the present time. He was soon afterwards elected to the surgical out-patient staff of the Melbourne Hospital, and eventually established himself in Collins Street as a consulting surgeon.
    During the absence of Mr. Beaney, Mr. Webb acted as in-door surgeon to the hospital, and, in the absence of Mr. Girdlestone, occupied the position of lecturer on surgery at the University of Melbourne.
    Mr. Webb took an active interest in professional work of every character, and was a regular attendant at the meetings of the Medical Society of Victoria. He also gave much time to the post of honorary librarian, and it is not too much to say that the completeness of the periodical sets in the library is entirely due to his effort. Mr. Webb retained his hospital position until 1891, when he stood for the position of in-door surgeon, and was defeated. Subsequently, he became absorbed in an original research into the cause and treatment of cancer, and for the last few years of his life could think or speak of little else.
    As a surgeon, Mr. Webb was original and progressive. He was one of the most active followers of Listerian principles amongst Melbourne surgeons, and employed them with understanding, and not in merely slavish manner. He had original views in the treatment of spinal cases, and advocated operation in appendicitis at least a year prior to Fitz's paper in America or Treves' work in London, though he never actually operated. His paper is contained in the Australian Medical journal, and is somewhat striking as an expression of opinion, considering the surgical environment of that day (1884). Although his work in cancer lacked scientific precision, he certainly obtained some striking clinical results, and his observations were confirmed to some extent in other parts of the world.
    Apart from professional work, Mr. Webb was widely read in general literature, and an authority on racing pedigrees. His death severs the last link with the older generation of well-known Melbourne surgeons, of whom he was the only surviving figure. Despite an eccentric note, he possessed a singular personality, full of eager activity, which, however, apt to make enemies, was never without a large number of friends who recognised the genuineness of his ideals.29
  • 10 Mar 1948: MELBOURNE. Tuesday.-Before 1884, when the idea of removing an appendix by surgical operation was first suggested by a surgeon of the Royal Melbourne Hospital patients were admitted to medical wards, and either recovered or died.
    This story was told by Dr. K. F. Russell in addressing the scientific session at the Royal Melbourne Hospital to-day. In 1884 Dr. John Holden Webb wrote an article in the Australian Medical Journal, in which he suggested removing the appendix in cases of appendicitis. He made post-mortem examinations in three cases and recognised that he could save lives. One of the first patients to undergo the operation in England was King Edward the Seventh.30
