PARISIAN MEDICAL SOCIETY.-The annual dinnerof the members of this Society took place on Saturday, Feb.26th, at Véfour’s Restaurant, 82, Palais Royal. Upwards offorty gentlemen were present* and, among the company,several of the leading members of the profession in Paris,including MM. Orfila, Ricord, Nelaton, Valleix, Brierre deBoismont, and Verdeil, with members of the American, Ger-man, Spanish, and Italian schools. Of the non-professionalgentleman present, the name of General Williamson may bementioned.

Dr. HARLEY, the President of the Society, officiated as

chairman, and after a dinner served in a manner which didcredit to the well-known reputation of Hamel Vétour, pro-posed successively " Her Majesty Queen Victoria;"

" the Em-

peror of the French;" and "the President of the UnitedStates of America," all of which were enthusiastically re-ceived. He then proposed ’’ Success and Prosperity to theParisian Medical Society." After alluding to the pleasurewhich he felt at seeing so many of the old presidents of theSociety, as well as so many distinguished men, present, hetook a review of the numerous important discoveries-thevast and valuable additions which had been made to medicalliterature, since the foundation of the Parisian Medical Societyin 183i, and the effects which these had produced on thetheory and practice of medicine; then, drawing their atten-tion to the names of several gentlemen, former members ofthe Society, who are now bright ornaments of the profession

in various parts of the globe,-mentioning Valentine Mott, inAmerica, John H. Bennett, of Edinburgh, and others,-he hopedthat the present members would follow in the footsteps of theirpredecessors, and, by persevering research and industrious

observation, lend their united efforts to the advancement ofscience.

Mr. W. 0. PRIESTLEY, vice-president, proposed ’’ the MedicalFaculty of Paris," and spoke of the great attractions whichthe medical school of Paris possessed in its lectures, museums,and anatomical pavilions. The object of the Society beingthe advancement of medical science, he was glad to see thatobject recognised by the presence of distinguished representa-tives of the medical faculty. Before resuming his seat, hepresented, on the part of the Parisian Medical Society, anacknowledgement of this courtesy to the members of thefaculty present, and, in so doing, coupled with his toast thename of M. Orfila, a father in science, and one of its mostdistinguished ornaments.M. ORFILA, after apologising in English for being unable to

respond in that language, offered his thanks in French to Mr.Priestley for the kind way in which his name was mentioned;and, after complimenting him as being a relative of the greatchemist, said that he and the other members of the medicalfaculty always felt honoured by the presence of Britishstudents at their lectures; and concluded by thanking theSociety for the pleasure their kind invitation had afforded him.

Dr. ROBERT BOWMAN, the secretary, next proposed "theHospitals of Paris," and said that lie considered these charitiesranked amongst the most noble and philanthropic of publicinstitutions, which have for their object the alleviation of thediseases and sufferings of frail humanity. It was unnecessary,he thought, in proposing prosperity to these hospitals, toenlarge on the advantages to be derived by the student ofmedicine, in a diligent attendance to the facilities offered himby these magnificent practical schools. He had great pleasurein associating with this toast the name of so distinguished asurgeon as that of M. Nelaton.M. NELATON, speaking in French, thanked Dr. Bowman for

the complimentary manner in which he had proposed hishealth, and the gentlemen present for their warm response.He afterwards proposed as a toast, " Unity of Scientific Men,irrespective of National Distinction," which was most cordiallyreceived.

11 The Academy of Medicine" was proposed by Dr. MADGE.He alluded to the many distinguished names which had beenconnected with that institution, mentioning those of Dupuy-tren, Larrey, &c. In uniting with this toast M. Ricord, hebelieved the name he mentioned as brilliant in its associationswith the academy as any of his predecessors: he had a world-wide reputation, and his name was as well known to thestudents of British schools as their own professors.M. RICORD, speaking in English, thanked Dr. Madge for

the able manner in which he had proposed the Academy ofMedicine, and the flattering manner in which he had spokenof himself. lIe said that the Academy of Medicine was thearena for the discussion of every recent contribution and im-provement in our profession, and he hoped in future to seemore foreign medical men attend their meetings. He wasalways pleased to see the students of other countries visitingtheir hospitals; for while they were extending their ownobservations, they at the same time had often afforded themedical officers valuable hints for practice. M. Nelaton, inproposing his toast, had expressed a feeling of his own, whichhe hoped they would allow him again to express.

Dr. BARNSTON then proposed " the Strangers present," andcoupled with his toast, M. Valleix, whom he believed to bewell known to most of the gentlemen present as an accom-plished physician, and one whose teaching afforded no littlepleasure and instruction to foreign students.

Al. VALLEix delivered an elegant response in French. Hesaid he was not less glad than those who had preceded him tosee this friendly reunion of medical men, and would ask themonce again to respond to the toast which had been twicebefore so cordially received, and which M. Nelaton had firstproposed.M. OpEiLA then rose, and proposed in flattering terms "the

health of the Chairman." He thanked him for the able man-ner in which he had filled the chair, and the appropriateaddress he had delivered in proposing prosperity to theParisian Medical Societv.

Dr. HARLEY thanked M. Orfila for his great kindness inhaving proposed his health, and the gentlemen present fortheir kind reception of the toast.M. RICORD proposed ,. the British Medical Schools," whichwere responded to in appropriate speeches by Dr. Stephen

259"Webb, the treasurer, on the part of England, and Mr.Wheatley on the part of Scotland.Mr. MITCHELL proposed " the American Medical Society,"

which was acknowledged by Dr. Pitman, the President.Mr. INNES requested permission to drink " the health of the

founder of the Society, Dr. J. Hughes Bennett." This beingaccorded, he was heartily joined by the whole of the companypresent.

Dr. MEEDING, President of the German Society, spoke ofthe pleasure the evening had afforded him, and alluded to thegreat efforts in the cause of science made by the earlier mem-bers of the Society, mentioning particularly Prof. Bennett,whom he had on more than one occasion the honour of assist-ing in his researches in German literature.

Dr. SANDERSON proposed " the former Presidents of theSociety," and alluded particularly to the services renderedto the Society by Dr. Olliffe, whose name he had great plea-sure in making the subject of a toast, to which Dr. Olliffereplied; and several other toasts having been given, amongstwhich was "the health of General Williamson, connected withthe armies of the civilized world," the assembly dispersedabout eleven o’clock.Each one seemed delighted with the evening’s entertainment

and throughout the greatest cordiality prevailed.EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SOCIETY.-At a meeting of the

Society, held March 7, a paper by Mr. B. W. Richardson, ofMortlake, entitled " Facts relating to Scarlet Fever," wasread by the author. Also a paper by Mr. James BowerHarrison, F.R.C.S, Highbury Broughton, Manchester, en-

titled " On Sore Tliroats and their relation to Scarlet Fever,"was read by Dr. M’William. Both papers were listened towith great attention, and votes of thanks were accorded totheir authors.-The nomination of office-bearers for the years1853-4 took place.APPOINTMENTS.-Dr. Quinlaw, ofThurles, has been

elected physician in charge of the dispensaries of Borrisoleighdistricts, and to discharge the duties of Dr. Pinchin duringthat gentleman’s illness. - Assistant- Surgeon M’Leviney(1847) has been confirmed by the Admiralty in his appoint-ment of surgeon to the Calypso, 18, on the North Americanand West Indies station, to which the commander-in-chiefpromoted him.-Theophilus Caractacus Lewis, M.D., has beenappointed surgeon in the 2nd Royal Tower Hamlets’ Regimentof Militia, Queen’s Own Light Infantry.YELLOW FEVER.-An officer of H.M. screw frigate,

Daitntless, writing from Barbadoes, says that the vessel lostby yellow fever sixteen officers and seventy-one seamen andmarines, and that there were then only two cases which borea favourable aspect. During the last ten days, not a singlefresh case occurred, so that in a fortnight from the date of hisletter it was expected that the Dauntless would sail.

CHRIST’S HOSPITAL.-We are happy to state, thatthe widow of the late Dr. Rice was, at the last meeting of theGovernors, voted an annuity of 01:200.A QUACK CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER.-At the

Limerick Assizes, John Groves was indicted for the man-slaughter of John Ryan, in Mungret-street, Limerick. Thecrown prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Barry,with Mr. O’Donnell as solicitor. Ellen Ryan, the widow, de-posed that her husband had suffered from rheumatism in thewrist and shoulder, for which Dr. Russell attended him.Having partially recovered he went to sea, and returning after the lapse of a month, got a bottle from a man named Kinna-vane, of Thomond-gate, who was not a doctor. She afterwardsaccompanied her husband several times to Groves’s shop.Groves gave her husband a bottle of whitish medicine, anddesired him to take a wineglassful occasionally. The firstdose caused her husband great pain, and to vomit blood. Shewent to the prisoner, and complained of its effects. He laughed, said that he was glad to hear of it, and that upontaking the next glass he would be well. Her husband lived Ithree weeks and a day from the time of his drinking the glass-ful of what was in the bottle.

1Ir. John Carroll, apothecary, said that lie asserted at thepost-mortem examination, and was of opinion, that deceaseddied of debility of the stomach. To Mr. Barry-I never sold,to my recollection, any corrosive sublimate to the prisoner.Dr. Parker performed the necropsy, and was of opinion that

death resulted from the effects of a draught of corrosive sub-limate, three grains of which were sufficient to cause death.He thought that a glassful of the draught which the bottlecontained, had ten grains of the corrosive sublimate. To Mr.

Barry-An over-dose of calomel would produce the same effecton the stomach as corrosive sublimate. Calomel was a medi-cine in general use, and often taken for rheumatism.

, Dr. Russell gave it as his opinion that the decease died ofinflammation of the stomach, caused by some corrosive matter.But lie did not know what.Mr. Barry addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. The

judge then summed up, and the jury, after half-an-hour’s de-liberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended theprisoner to mercy.The prisoner was removed from the dock without having

sentence passed on him.

CITY OF LONDON HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THECHEST.-Last Wednesday, the fifth anniversary of this insti-tution was celebrated at the London Tavern, Lord JohnCampbell in the chair, supported by 300 patrons. The reportwhich was read stated that since the opening of the hospitalin 1848, upwards of 14,756 out-patients had been benefitted byit. The expenditure for last year was £1755. The newhospital, Victoria Park, upon which £8000 has been ex-

pended, and the completion of which would require .66000,would be open early in summer for in-patients. At the closeof the evening, Mr. R. P. Slater announced that the day’ssubscriptions amounted to .66000.

UNIVERSITY OF EDINIBRGH.-SIR E. L. Bulwer-Lytton, Bart., has been nominated to the office of HonoraryPresident of the Associated Societies of the University ofEdinburgh. The election takes place next week.

THE YELLOW FEVER IN THE WEST INDIES.—Theonly officer of the West India Company’s service who hasfallen a victim to the yellow fever since the last advices isDr. Wells, the surgeon of the Derwent.

THE SOPHISTICATIONS OF COD-LIVER OIL. -— Thefollowing extract from the report of the Registrar-General refersto a subject of the gravest importance to the medical professionand the public:-°°In the sub-district of Bethnal-green, at 12,North-side, there was registered in the previous week (Feb. 1st)the death of the widow of a veterinary surgeon, aged 41 years,from confluent small-pox (three weeks) after vaccination.’ Mr.Byles, medical attendant of this case, has addressed the followingletter to the registrar:-’ On the 1st inst. I forwarded to you acertificate of the death of a lady from confluent small-pox inBethnal-green, in which I alluded to a gross and dangerousnuisance existing in that locality. It is, as I am led to under-stand, a factory for the production of a factitious cod-liver oil, andthe nuisance appears to me to be threefold: first, to arise fromaccumulations of fish and fish garbage ; secondly, from the effluviaarising during the extraction of oil from these substances; andthirdly, from the most oppressive fcetor, arising, I judge, fromburning the bones and fibre of the fish to obtain an animal char-coal for the depuration of the oil. The premises being privateand not easily accessible, of course what I state is in some mea-sure conjectural: "

THE DEATH OF DR. MANSON.—One of those deplor-able events which from time to time bring home to us all theperils which surround us in the exercise of our daily avocations,has suddenly carried off an estimable physician in the outset of aCareer full of promise in usefulness and honour. In the courseof his duty as physician-accoucheur to the Royal Pimlico Dis-pensary, Dr. Fredericke Robert Manson was called upon todeliver a poor woman suffering from typhus fever. Dr. Mansonhad at the time a slight wound in the hand ; through this woundthe poisonous element was absorbed, erysipelas supervened, andin nine days after this occurrence his death took place. «’e havebeen informed that the patient who was the innocent cause ofDr. Manson’s distressing end has herself succumbed ; her nursehas shared the like fate, and it is apprehended that the list ofvictims is not yet complete. Dr. Manson, whose untimely endwe thus record, was a graduate in honours of the University ofLondon, and a member of the College of Physicians. All whoknew him esteemed him for the integrity of his character and hisprofessional acquirements. He was the son of Dr. Manson whoacquired a distinguished position as a physician at Nottingham,and who was one of the first to establish the value of iodine inmedicine.HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK ENDING

SATURDAY, MARCH 5.-Though the weather has lately assumeda milder character, the high mortality that prevailed through-out last month discovers no abatement; on the contrary, itexhibits a great increase. The deaths in London were 1011in the last week of January; since that time, they havesteadily increased till the number registered in the weekending last Saturday amounts to 1427. The present returnshows an increase of 83 above that of the week immediatelypreceding. Persons of all ages have suffered; of the 1427 whodied, 573 were children under 15 years; 460 had attained thatage, but were under 60; and 379 were 60 years old and upwards.

Last week, the births of 861 boys and 810 girls, in all 1671 1children, were registered in London. The average number ineight corresponding weeks (1845-52) was 1469.

-ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.A Physician, (Paddington.)-The question is not correctly proposed. The

jury, by their verdict, had to make a presentment as to the cause of thedeath. Many circumstances, therefore, might necessarily be investigatedduring the inquiry. Amongst them, the medical treatment of the

patient was one. This was inevitable, because the nearest relationsattiibuted the death to the treatment that had been adopted. The de-ceased person, just before he died, alleged that he had been poisoned;but after a post-mortem examination of the body had been made, and themost careful and searching chemical analysis instituted, Mr. Fergussontestified that he could not in any respect refer the death to any medical ’,treatment that bad been adopted, and Dr. Alfred Taylor unhesitatingly iand broadly delivered similar testimony, and without any reservation or qualification whatever. After this evidence from two such distinguishedauthorities, the allegation that the death had been caused by the medical ’,treatment was, in point of law, completely negatived. We might go fur- ’,ther than this, and state that the history of the case, independently of thepost-mortem examination and chemical analysis, did not show a cone- cutive series of facts that could justify any practitioner in saying that the imedicines prescribed and administered had caused the fatal catastrophe. The history of the case, in our opinion, warranted no such conclusion. I

We cannot refer to the other matters mentioned by our correspondent.Of the perfect integrity of Mr. Ballard. we entertain a very decided opinion.The jury, after the verdict had been returned, unanimously expressed theirapproval of Mr. Ballard’s conduct in the transaction. With these remarkswe dismiss the subject.

Juvenis.-At the College of Surgeons, Lincoln’s-inn-fields.Mr. Westropp will receive a private note.Anti-Hurnbug.-The letter is unsuited for our columns.A Subscriber asks if Mr. William Grove Grady, who is advertised as themedical officer of the Pimlico and West London General Dispensary is

really a doctor of medicine, and if so, from what university did lie obtainhis diploma.

One of the Ui2fo)-tunates.-The Latin examination spoken of is very properas a preliminary step to the M.D. degree. -Our correspondent should be-come a better Latin scholar himself before he attempts to correct others.The accent is placed over the right letters.

Mr. S. A. Furness’s case has been received.N.-Published by Longmans.An Afflicted Reader.-We are not acquainted with any institution fcr gra-

tuitous galvanism.A First Year’s Man.-It is better on such subjects to take counsel of the

lecturers on the subjects in question.Resuent Baron.-We do not think that it is one of the imperative duties ofa medical practitioner to instruct his pupil in the translation of Celsus.No one should enter the profession who has not such a preliminary educa.tion as would prevent the necessity of such assistance.

Dr. T. R. H. Thomson has requlo ‘ i us to state that he is not a fellow ofthe Royal Society of Edinburgh, as represented in the " British MedicalDirectory.,,

Brython.-A member elected to the fellowship of the College of Surgeons,under the authority of the 5th section of the Charter of 13th Victoria, issubject to a fee of ten guineas.

WE will endeavour to find space for the whole or part of the communicationof Aff. J. Lawrence in the next LANCET.

Guido.-The practitioner who is in attendance at the time of the death isusually the party who makes the post-mortem examination. Of course,there are exceptions to this rule. The interference of the solicitor was illegal,and almost rendered him liable to a commitment for contempt of court.

Judex, (Manchester.)-Such prosecutions merely bring discredit upon theparties who institute them. The executive committee of the Hull Asso.ciation is probably liable to an indictment for conspiracy. The gentlemencomposing that committee had better consult their legal adviser withreference to the law of " maintenance."

L.-The book was reviewed in this journal a few weeks since. It can be

procured of any respectable medical publhher.A Reader.-The puff in the newspaper referred to is not only unprofessional,but very discreditable to the party who promoted its insertion.

Dir. Chamber.,-At the last meeting of the Society.A Fellow.-Dr. Winslow was elected by a majority of twelve votes.A Young Practitioner.-Cases of the kind forwarded by our correspondentare rare. A consultation is necessary.

T. N.-It is against our rule to prescribe. Any book on the subject wouldafford the information sought after.

A Dispensing Assistant.-An advertisement would very probably obtain thesituation. We know of no other way of proceeding.

SCI’utrdcr, (Brighton.)-We cannot give an opinion on the case unless allparticulars are placed before us.

Jacques.-The M.D. degree obtained from the " university" mentioned doesnot confer any honour on the person holding it. To the second question,we think not. Apply to Mr. Balfour, at the College of Surgeons.

A. B.-The report of the trial will be found at page 259.A Subscriber.-Possessing such qualifications, our correspondent need beunder no apprehension of being interfered with by the Society of Apothe-caries.

NECESSITY FOR ENGLISH QUALIFICATION.To the Editor of THE LANCET.

SIR,-I am a graduate of the Edinburgh College of Physicians, of manyyears’ standing, as well as an accoucheur. I possess twice the number ofanatomical and surgical certificates necessary to pass the examination atthe College of Surgeons; besides which, I was physician for seven years toone of the first dispensaries in Great Britain, from the board of which I re-ceived the handsomest testimonial of my services. I have seen all kinds ofpractice, at home and ahroad, amongst all classes ; have been appointed bythe Government Emigration Board to a surgeon-superintendency of one oftheir largest ships, and have considerable experience in tropical diseases. Ihave written successfully on scientific and literary subjects, and can pro-duce the highest testimonials ot professional and moral character from someof the most eminent men in the profession. Yet, with all these recom.mendations in my favour, will it be believed that I am not eligible to be.come an assistant (!) to a union in England, because I am neither a Londonapothecary nor a London surgeon! I have frequently, Sir, contributedarticles to your pages, and I must say I have ever found them accessible toprofessional grievances; and now allow me to ask you, and every rationalman in England, whether this is not as much an anomalous state of affairs?- and whether free-trade in corn was ever more desirable than it is in ourown profession? In what single branch of medical knowledge am I defi-cient that a London surgeon or apothecary possesses? I am a graduate ofone of the first universities in the world-the school from whence theCullens, the Gregorys, and the Monroes for years propounded their immor.tal doctrines; yet, forsooth, I am unqualified to have the charge of paupersin an English workhouse !Away then with the delusion that England, Ireland, and Scotland are one

nation, as long as such miserable distinctions are permitted to disgrace thestatute book. I am one of many sufferers from this iniquitous law. HenceI feel and speale warmly. But in the name of humanity, justice, and com-mon sense, I appeal to you, Sir, is such a state of thmgs worthy of a nationwhose motto is "Fair play and no favour" ? Reform is surely wantinghere. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,London, March, 1853. MEDICUS.
