Jackson, E. Sandford (detail)
   
1923
Historical notes from the records in the Brisbane Hospital (1850-1870).
Med. Jour. Austral. (10th year) 1(11): 281-286. Mar. 17, 1923 (read Feb. 2, 1923).
–Biographical sketch of Dr. William Hobbs. P. 282: {"Dr. Hobbs did much to introduce dugong oil as a substitute for cod liver oil, using it in all the diseases for which the latter long held reputation. He published a lecture on dugong oil under the title "Elaiopathy," to which reference is made in Lang's "Queensland." (Spongiopiline soaked in dugong oil was a favourite treatment for phthisis with Dr. Hobbs.)"}
  As far as I can determine, Hobbs' lecture "Elaiopathy" was published only in a newspaper, the Melbourne Argus, Sept. 19, 1857.
