creation, or even an annual holiday, began to imprint itsmark in 1903. Glycosuria and signs of arterio-sclerosis madetheir appearance. With unabated courage he continuedwork, ignoring all danger signals. At length in 1908 theincessant strain, unrelieved by rest, overcame him. Heretired to Teignmouth an invalid. Early in December lastcardiac compensation began to fail, hydrothorax developedand required frequent paracentesis. Uræmia closed thescene. "

ARRANGEMENTS FOR CASES OF MEASLES BY THESouTHWARK GUARDIANS.-At the meeting of the Southwarkboard of guardians held on Jan. 12th a report was con-

sidered from Dr. H. W. Bruce, the medical superintendent atthe infirmary, with reference to the transference of childrensuffering from measles to one of the fever hospitals of theMetropolitan Asylums Board. Dr. Bruce was strongly of theopinion that the transference of cases of measles, especiallyin winter, was fraught with great risk to the children, andit appeared to him that if all cases of measles were trans--ferred to a fever hospital a considerable and unnecessarysacrifice of children’s lives would be brought about. Thechildren’s committee reported that the proposal of the

Metropolitan Asylums Board to receive children fromthe infirmary suffering from measles would not afford

any reasonable possibility of reducing the congestionat the infirmary, owing to the fact that a medicalcertificate of three weeks’ observation would be required,and in view of the medical superintendent’s statementsthe committee urged that the Metropolitan Asylums Boardbe asked to use their vacant accommodation for children.suffering from ophthalmia. Mr. T. Cornell said that the

proposals of the Asylums Board were misunderstood. Theydid not propose that cases of measles should be first taken tothe infirmary and then transferred to hospital. What wasintended, and what was already being carried out in manyparts of London, was that the poor cases of measles, forwhich an admission order to the infirmary had hitherto beengiven, should be removed direct from their homes to thenearest hospital of the Board, and that no medical certificateof three weeks’ observation would be required. The present.proposals were first put forward by the Local GovernmentBoard. They had been carefully considered by the AsylumsBoard in the light of experience throughout the country,including that of Edinhurgh, Glasgow, and Liverpool,where permanent isolation accommodation was pro-vided in infectious hospitals for cases of measles, andwhere it had been proved beyond question that measles couldbe safely treated in the same hospital as other infectious-fevers. The Asylums Board had made the provision and itwas being generally utilised. It was for the Southwark

guardians to say whether they would take advantage of theopportunities offered for the benefit of children for whom,

they were responsible. The suggestion that children other-wise healthy who were suffering from ophthalmia should betaken into fever hospitals was quite impracticable. Aften

hearing Mr. Cornell’s explanation, the board decided to sendcases of measles to the institutions of the MetropolitanAsylums Board.ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS IN IRELAND.-

ACTION FOR ALLEGED MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE.-In the Bow county court on Jan. 20th, before Judge Smyly,James John Darkins, a clerk, of Milton-avenue, East Ham,sued Mr. H. de B. Nelson, of Canning Town, for negligence.Mr. Medcalfe appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Matthew(on behalf of the London and Counties Medical ProtectionSociety) for the defendant. Mr. Medcalfe said that thecase was a serious one, involving the character and reputa-tion of a medical man, but there was no desire on the partof the plaintiff to obtain damages for himself. He simplywanted the recoupment of extra expenses, amountingto between E40 and .S50, caused, it was alleged, by thenegligence of the defendant. During her confine-ment in March last the plaintiff’s wife was attendedby Mr. Nelson, and it was alleged that he left behind

pieces of the placenta. After several attacks of haemorrhagean operation was performed by another practitioner; septicpoisoning set in and she died early in May. The allegationwas that the defendant was negligent in his attendance andalso in his treatment, consequent on which the plaintiff wasinvolved in extra expense in engaging medical men and

nurses. The plaintiff gave evidence in support of his counsel’sstatement. His honour, in summing up, directed the atten-tion of the jury to a letter written by the plaintiff after hiswife’s death, in which he appealed to the generosity of thedefendant to enable him to meet the debts which had beenincurred in consequence of the illness. They had to saywhether that was a letter which one man would write toanother whom he believed to have been the cause of hiswife’s death. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant.Judgment was given accordingly, with costs.
