Dr Harold Vernon Foxton was the first medical superintendent appointed at the Goodna asylum. His medical bag containing many surgical instruments was recently gifted to the Museum by Victoria Foxton, his granddaughter. Dr Harold Foxton began medical practice in the early 1900s and the contents of the bag reflected his special interest in ear nose and throat surgery with tonsillar snares and guillotines and various ENT instruments including a variable pitch tuning fork and a Politzer acoumeter together with mastoid chisels and nasal bone forceps.
