officer, said that Sydney’s infant mortality-rate for the lasttwo and a half years was only 91 per 1000. Already the’city authorities had a system by which 65 per cent. of

nursing mothers in the city and practically all the poor’ones were visited by a lady inspector who gave advice as tothe feeding and management of infants.

Friendly Societies.Some time ago the New South Wales branch of the British

Medical Association submitted a model agreement to thefriendly societies in that State which contained a provision-That any person joining a lodge shall be deemed ineligible for any ’i,

medical benefit from such lodge, if on joining he and his wife have ajoint income of over £200 per annum, or at any time thereafter theirjoint income exceeds E300.This has been submitted to the societies concerned andrejected, practically unanimously. At a meeting of the

Friendly Societies’ Association it was moved-That the British Medical Association be informed that this association

will not agree to any model agreement containing a wage limit.A subsequent motion desiring a conference was lost.

Public Health of Victoria.The annual report of the Victorian Board of Public Health

sets forth that a vigorous aggressive movement has been madeagainst tuberculosis. With the extension of accommodationfor consumptives the board has felt justified in enforcingthe notification of cases. It is not claimed that this is

’entirely effective but the number of notifications is in-

creasing. In 1904, 413 cases were reported and in 1907,.841. The mortality from tuberculosis is said to be falling:steadily. Under the Milk and Dairy Supervision Act recordsare kept of 68,000 dairy cows. 287 cows have been dis-covered to be diseased and 126 have been destroyed.

. Sydney Quarantine Station.The Sydney quarantine station is situated just within theNorth Head at the entrance to the harbour. The suburb of

Manly, which is one of Sydney’s pleasure resorts and thehome of surf-bathing, now runs up to within a mile or twoof the quarantine area. It has been pointed out that thepresent site of the quarantine ground cuts off a large areathat might be used as a picturesque pleasure reserve, and, movement is on foot to shift the quarantine buildings tosome other part of the harbour. The question will, however,be one for the Commonwealth Parliament, as there is not

likely to be any alteration made before the control of’quarantine is handed over to the Federal authorities.

Obituary.RAHEEM MAHOMED BUKSH, M.R.C.S. ENG., L.S.A.Raheem Mahomed Buksh, who died at The Hall, Balaam-

-street, Plaistow, on Nov. 15th, was at the time of hisdeath honorary surgeon to the Plaistow Dispensary. Hehad previously been house surgeon and house physician atthe London Hospital, where he was very well known to

everyone and enjoyed general esteem and respect. After

being house surgeon at the Poplar Hospital, where he wentfrom the London Hospital, he settled at Plaistow, and incourse of time obtained a considerable practice. Here hewas helped by his deceased wife who had been a nurse atthe London Hospital and whose kindness to the very poorwas of the practical sort that comes from experience. Thegrateful appreciation of these unfortunate people of the effortsmade in their behalf was evidently regarded by both husbandand wife as a more than adequate return for their labours.For some time Mr. Buksh had been in indifferent health,though he had allowed but few even amongst his mostintimate friends to be aware of it. Most fortunately hesuffered little if at all from his condition, and his last

days were cheered by the kindly attention of Dr. W. J.Hadley and his old and highly esteemed friend Mr. T. H.Openshaw. The interment took place at Brooklands onNov. 20th in the Mahomedan section, the ceremonybeing attended by a number of his old fellow studentsand patients. He was reverently laid to rest by his Indianfellow countrymen residing in London.

ASSOCIATION.—This association held its autumn dinner onNov. 24th, at the Hotel Cecil, Strand, London, underthe chairmanship of the President, Surgeon-General SirCharles MacDonagh Cuffe. The toast of "Our Defenders,"proposed by Judge Rentoul, was responded to by Dr.Samuel Browne, late Surgeon, R.N. Major V. H. W.Davoren, R.A.M.C., who also replied, said that Mr. Haldanehad provided them with a scheme for a large territorialforce which it was hoped would be carried out com-

pletely when the country understood that it was the dutyof every able-bodied man to assist in the national defence.He declared that under the able directorship of the presentofficer in command the Army Medical Service was in a moreefficient state than at any time in its previous history. Dr.J. A. Macdonald submitted the toast of ’’ The Guests" andsaid that the name of one of them, Sir Robert Hart, wouldstand as one of the foremost of that honoured band ofIrishmen which had rendered the name of Britain theforemost in all matters of progress, humanity, and religion.Sir Robert Hart, in his reply, described the difficulties in theway of progress in medical science in China but gave some

1719

details of a new hospital in Peking which promised to achievea far-reaching success in the future. Mr. Daniel M. O’Connor,in proposing the toast of "The Association," roused hisaudience to great enthusiasm by his whole-hearted advocacyof the claims of Irish medical men and the proceedingsterminated after the President had replied.THE WEST OF ENGLAND EYE INFIRMARY,

EXETER.—The committee of the West of England EyeInfirmary has received .B2460 towards the .B3000 required toerect a new wing which is to be built to celebrate the

"centenary" of the institution. It is hoped that the

remaining Z540 will shortly be subscribed.

A DINNER was given on Monday, Nov. 23rd, atthe Trocadéro Restaurant to Sir Robert W. Burnet,honorary physician to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, tocelebrate the fact that Sir Robert Burnet has been recentlyknighted. Sir J. Dickson-Poynder, M.P., presided, and

among the medical men present were Sir Thomas Barlow andInspector.General J. Porter, Director-General of the MedicalDepartment of the Royal Navy.THE MANCHESTER CREMATORIUM.—The nine-

teenth annual meeting in connexion with the ManchesterCrematorium, Limited, was held on Nov. 19th. The reportstated that the accounts had been made up to August 31stinstead of to Nov. 30th, and in future the financial year wouldclose at the earlier date. There were 83 cremations fromDec. 1st, 1907, to August 31st last, and 1202 since the open-ing. There was a loss of L3 Os. 6d. on the working duringthe last nine months. The chairman said that there hadbeen 26 cremations since the end of August, making a totalfor 11 months of 109. This he thought compared veryfavourably with the returns from other towns. It is perhapsworth while to give the numbers from other places that henamed. At Golder’s Green 315 bodies were cremated duringthe year; at Sheffield, eight; Leeds, 21 ; Hull, 32 ; Brad-ford, five ; Darlington, six ; Birmingham, 22 ; Leicester, 12 ;Liverpool, 28 ; Woking, 108 ; Glasgow, 23; and City ofLondon, 13.THE INFANTS HOSPITAL.—Post-graduate classes

have been started at this institution. They will each con-sist of six demonstrations to be completed in the course of afortnight-three in each week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, andFridays, from about 4.30 to 6 P.M., the course being prac-tical and clinical. Three of the demonstrations will be con-ducted in the research laboratory, when each member of theclass will be able to carry out the experiments individually.These experiments, connected with the chemistry of milk inits relation to infantile digestion, will be arranged so as tohave a direct bearing on the ordering and preparation offoods for infants and the treatment of their nutritional dis-orders. This practical work is considered to be essential, asby this means the practitioner will be able to obtain thataccurate knowledge which can only be obtained from prac-tical work. The remaining demonstrations will be clinicaland will deal with the treatment of the diseases and dis-orders of nutrition, dietetic and otherwise. The classes willbe limited by the available laboratory accommodation. Allfurther information can be obtained from Mr. Alfred J.Small, secretary of the hospital, Vincent-square, West-minster, London, S.W.

EpSOM AsYLUMS.-The desirability of Epsomas a residential district has been recently somewhat seriouslyaffected by the protests in the London newspapers againstthe practice of allowing the inmates of the London CountyCouncil asylums to breathe the fresh air of Epsom outsidethe bounds of the asylums. Matters culminated last weekin a public meeting of the inhabitants to consider a proposedmotion to compel the London County Council to put a stopto the practice entirely. The Earl of Rosebery took thechair. All the speeches were not well considered, attacksbeing made on the medical superintendents and othersconnected with the asylums; but after the chairman ofthe asylums committee and others had pointed out thedesirability from a medical point of view of allowing thesewalking parties the motion was lost by a large majority.No doubt the presence of parties of these patients in

public may have its disadvantages, but when the im-

provement in their mental state likely to be derived bythe change of air and scene is remembered, the humanity

of the Epsom people in not wishing to curtail their privilegesunder proper supervision is much to be commended. Weare certain that all concerned with the management of theasylums are willing to do all that they can to obviate as faras possible any annoyance being caused.

WINDSOR AND DISTRICT MEDICAL SOCIETY.-A meeting of this society was held at the Guildhall,Windsor, on Nov. 26th, when the President, Dr. Francis H.Hawkins of Reading, delivered a presidential address to alarge gathering of members. The annual dinner of thesociety took place at the White Hart Hotel after the meeting,35 sitting down. Sir R. Douglas Powell, Sir Dyce Duckworth,Sir Thomas Barlow, Dr. F. de Havilland Hall, Dr. Jamieson B.Hurry (President of the Reading Pathological Society), andMr. V. Warren Low were present, and the Mayor of Windsor,the ex-Mayor, and others were guests of the society on thisoccasion. In addition to the customary loyal toasts Sir R.Douglas Powell responded for the Royal College of Physiciansof London. Sir Dyce Duckworth proposed the health of thesociety, which was replied to by the President. Mr. W. B.Holderness proposed the medical guests, Sir Thomas Barlowresponding ; and the Mayor of Windsor returned thanks onbehalf of the visitors, which toast was proposed by Dr. E. S.Norris. An excellent mentb was served and the evening proveda most enjoyable one.DEATH OF A MEDICAL MAN FROM COCAINE

POISONING.-On Nov. 17th, at the Durham County Hospital,an inquest was held on the body of Mr. I. G. Pritchard ;M.R.C.S. Eng., L.R.C.P. Lond., aged 30 years. The juryreturned a verdict of "Death from cocaine poisoning," therebeing insufficient evidence to indicate the object of thedeceased in taking it. According to the evidence of Mr. AlfredLeeming, a pharmaceutical chemist, the deceased went intohis shop and asked for ten grains of cocaine hydrochloride,with one drachm of water, saying that it was for a patient.When he was making up the prescription he noticed that thedeceased was "shaky," and asked him if he would like togo upstairs and rest. Witness assisted Mr. Pritchard up thestairs into a room and left him for a few minutes. On

returning he became alarmed at his condition and sent forDr. Smith. The deceased was removed to the hospital anddied about two and a half hours afterwards. Dr. HenrySmith said that a week after Mr. Pritchard had entered hisservice as an assistant he looked unwell but seemed to haverecovered his health on the following morning. He (Dr.Smith) believed that his assistant had contracted the cocainehabit and a bottle of cocaine and a hypodermic syringe weremissing from the surgery.CENTRAL MIDWIVES BOARD.-A meeting of the

Central Midwives Board was held at Caxton House, West-minster, on Nov. 19th, Dr. F. H. Champneys being in thechair. Letters from a certified midwife as to the exerciseby the local supervising authority of its powers of supervisionand inspection were further considered. The Board decidedthat no further action should be taken in the matter, as itappears that the inquiries complained of in the letters werenot made by an official supervising authority. A letter wasconsidered from a certified midwife asking the Board t6.

grant her a voucher in place of her certificate, with thepossession of which she had parted under an agreementwith her employers. The Board decided in the circum-stances of the case to decline to grant a voucher. A

letter was considered from the clerk of the Derbyshirecounty council, suggesting that annual licences to practiseas a midwife should be granted to suitable women passing amodified examination. The Board decided that no actionshould be taken in the matter. A letter was considered fromthe clerk of the Privy Council stating that the Local Govern-ment Board had instructed an inspector to inquire into theoutbreak of a series of cases of pemphigus occurring inthe practice of a midwife in Worcestershire. The Boarddecided that the clerk of the Privy Council should be thankedfor his action in the matter. Letters were considered fromMr. Jordan Lloyd, one of the Board’s examiners for the

Birmingham centre, as to the duty of an examiner when acandidate is seen to be suffering from ulcerating lupusof the face or other kindred diseases. The Board decided :

(1) that Mr. Lloyd should be informed that in the circum-stances of the case it is the duty of the examiner to pass thecandidate if she satisfies the test and to report specially on

1720

her physical condition to the Board which will then considerwhether a certificate should be granted to her ; and (2) that acaution as to the health of intending candidates should besent to all recognised training schools, recognised teachers,and approved midwives. It was agreed that Dr. G. E.Herman should be asked to inspect and to report on thematernity department of the Middlesex Hospital subject tothe consent of the governing body of the hospital.

GLASGOW UNIVERSITY CLUB, LONDON.-Thisclub held its autumn dinner on Nov. 27th, under the chair-manship of Professor Archibald Barr, in the Balmoral Hall ofthe Trocadero Restaurant, Piccadilly-circus, London, W. The

guest of the evening was Dr. C. 0. Hawthorne, who has beenhonorary secretary of the club from 1901 to 1908, and hasworked so successfully that the club is in a position of greatprosperity with a membership of nearly 330. Professor Barr,:after the usual loyal toasts had been duly honoured, pro-posed" The University and the Club." He mentionedthat when he was appointed to the first professorship,of engineering in the University of Glasgow it was

his duty to deliver before the Senate an oration in Latin,which he described as the deadest of dead languages. Thisoffort of his had a most remarkable result, for his eloquenceso satisfied the craving of the Senate for Latin oratory thatno one since had been asked to address them in that dead

language. In the course of some humorous remarks on the

origins of the learned professions he said that the beginningof medicine appeared to be wrapped in mystery, but hethought it would be agreed that the "medicine man " musthave been developed at a late period because of the records,of longevity that had come down to them from theearliest times. Dr. Guthrie Rankin then proposed thehealth of Dr. Hawthorne and spoke of his work forthe club. Dr. Hawthorne, in reply, acknowledged the com-pliment paid to him and must have been much gratified atthe enthusiastic reception accorded to his speech. SirDonald MacAlister, in an eloquent and witty speech, pro-posed "The Guests," which was replied to by ProfessorJames Little, who was followed by Sir William H. White,submitting the "Health of the Chairman," which was

suitably acknowledged.MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.—A meeting of the

- court of governors was held on Nov. 26th ; Mr. Andrew’Clark presided. Major-General Lord Cheylesmore expressedthe profound regret of the board at the death of the Earl ofDerby, a true friend who had been for 17 or 18 years on the board. It was intended to erect a tablet to his memory inthe chapel of the hospital and the secretary would be pleasedto receive subscriptions for it. By the death of Sir ElliottLees, too, they had lost a vice-president who never failed.to display the keenest solicitude for the welfare of the

hospital. To Mr. J. A. Mullens and his sons theygratefully acknowledged their indebtedness. It was unani-

mously recommended that the Earl of Derby, himself(Lord Cheylesmore), and the Hon. G. W. Spencer Lytteltonshould be appointed vice-presidents of the hospital, and thatDr. William Duncan and Mr. William Hern should be elected.consulting obstetric physician and consulting dental

surgeon respectively. Mr. W. Salmon Nowell andMr. H. Watson Turner had been appointed dental sur-

.geon and assistant dental su geon to fill vacancies. Thevalue of the new observation wards had been proved duringthe past six months and lying-in wards had been successfullyre-established. A contribution of £2500 towards their costhad been made by the trustees of the Zunz bequest. He

regretted that their special appeal for funds for the CancerResearch Laboratories had not been very successful and theboard urged that they should be helped in carrying on thisgreat work, for which they required £2500 annually. Theboard was anxious that any interested should visit the

hospital and see for themselves the work being done in the- cancer wards and the Cancer Research Laboratories, whichwould create a wider sympathy and bring adequate financialsupport.
