BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICES. 87
Fox, Julia Carlile, the eldest daughter of Margaret (Carlile)
and Sidney Stamper Thomas, was born in England on 5 April,
1873. She went to Australia with her parents in 1881, and
subsequently became a student of medicine at the University of
Sydney, where later she took the degrees of M.B. and Ch.M.
In 1899 she came to England, and spent eighteen months
working in a London Medical Mission. She returned to
Australia in 1900, and founded the Sydney Medical Mission
(the first in Australia), the object of which is to provide medical
attendance and medicine for the sick poor in their own homes,
and beyond this it is a mission formed in the hope of bringing
to the afflicted a knowledge of " that peace which the world
cannot give." The Medical Report for 1906 shows that in
that year 2859 visits were paid to the homes of 823 patients,
and that there were 7799 attendances at the dispensary on
1 55 1 patients, the total number of patients treated being 2374.
In 1903 she married, but still is a very active member of the
Medical Mission Committee. Her husband, Robert Algernon
Fox, was born in 1868, and is the son of the late Thomas Fox,
of Wellington, Somerset, banker and woollen manufacturer, who
was greatly interested in education, and in all philanthropic works,
building and establishing schools and mission rooms in various
country places. Mr. Robert Fox took the degrees of M.B. and
Ch.M. at Edinburgh in 1893, and is now medical superintendent
of a large Government institution at Rookwood, Sydney. His
chief hobby is Japanese art, and he has a very large collection
of curios from that country.
