Dr Wilson had recently an attack of influenza, from which he was making a satisfactory recovery, when pneumonia supervened, and to this he succumbed yesterday morning.
A native of Duns and a member of a well-known Berwickshire family, Dr Wilson was educated at the High School and Edinburgh University.
He retired from this position in 1905, to devote himself to consulting work in psychiatric medicine and in this connection opened a sanatorium for the treatment of neurasthenia and other nervous diseases at Allanton House , Newmains.
Dr Wilson was the author of a number of important works dealing with insanity, which had marked him out as a man of singular ability in this department of medicine, and had earned for him a wide reputation among psychiatric physicians in this country.
Personally Dr Wilson was one of the most attractive of men, and many who knew him to be an able and eminent physician will remember him best as an old international Rugby football player, as a golfer, cricketer, or curler — and above all, as one of the truest of friends and most genial of companions.
