CHAPTER 2.7. THE CONCLUSION
IN the year 1878 I took my degree of Doctor of Medicine of the University of London, and proceeded to Netley to go through the course prescribed for surgeons in the army. Having completed my studies there, I was duly attached to the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers as Assistant Surgeon.
The regiment was stationed in India at the time, and before I could join it, the second Afghan war had broken out. On landing at Bombay, I learned that my corps had advanced through the passes, and was already deep in the enemy’s country. I followed, however, with many other officers who were in the same situation as myself, and succeeded in reaching Candahar in safety, where I found my regiment, and at once entered upon my new duties.

There was only one student in the room, who was bending over a distant table absorbed in his work. At the sound of our steps he glanced round and sprang to his feet with a cry of pleasure. «I’ve found it! I’ve found it,» he shouted to my companion, running towards us with a test-tube in his hand. «I have found a re-agent which is precipitated by hoemoglobin, and by nothing else.» Had he discovered a gold mine, greater delight could not have shone upon his features.
«Dr. Watson, Mr. Sherlock Holmes,» said Stamford, introducing us.
