BRADFORD MEDICO-CHIRURGICAL SOCIETY. - Atthe ordinary montbly meeting of this society held on

Jan. 8th, Dr. Simuel Johnston, President, in the chair,Dr. T. W. Hime introduced a discussion on PrecautionaryMeasures for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. The import-ance of tuberculosis was insisted on because of its alwaysbeing present, because of its great death-rate, and the numberof persons it attacks, giving rise to prolonged illness andattacking adults. It has been estimated that one-seventh ofthe human race die from tuberculosis. In 1890 there were68 000 deaths in England from tuberculosis, the mortalitynot being known owing t) the actual number of cases

being unc:rtain That recovery from tuberculosis doestake place is proved by the presence of cicatrices in theapices of lungs. The pattology of tuberculosis was brieflyglanced at, its bacilIMY origin and its local origin beingalluded to The mortality from tuberculosis since 1854 hasbeen steadily falling from 34 per 1000 to 2 4 per 1000 in1890, although no special crusade has been directed againstit beyond general sanitary improvements. In cases ofphthisis the great danger arises from the expectorationbecoming dry and being blown abut as dust. To preventthis Dr. Hime advocated the use of portable spittoons.Handkerchiefs should be avoided, ard if used should not bewashed with other clothes. Public spittoons should be pro-vided at railway stations and in concert-rooms. Cases ofphthisis should not be treated in the wards of general hos-pitals ; special hospitals for tuberculous cases should be pro-vided. The public should be educated with regard to the im-portance of using spittoons, especially in schools, workshops,hotels, lodgirg houses, prisons, and barracks. Other measureswhich D.’. Hime recommended were the notification of casesof tuberculosis, the disinfection of infected houses, and thewatering of streets before they were swept. In Belgiumthere was compulsory notification cf tuberculosis in animals,and in Denmark .E3000 a year were voted for carrying outexperiments on animals affected with tuberculosis. In con-clusion, Dr. Hime empbasised the fac that tuberculosis wasnot spread by vaccination. The paper was discussed by Drs.Johnston, Major, Goyder, Kerr, Mr. Horrocks, Drs. H. Bronner,Drury (Halitax), Bell, and T. C. Denby, and DA Hime

replied.

DEATHS OF EMINENT FOREIGN MEDICAL MEN.-The deaths of the following eminent foreign medical men areannounced :-Dr. Abeles, formerly a physician in Carlsbadand a writer on many chemical subjects of clinical interest,especially on the occurrence of sugar in the urine. He diedin Vienna, where he was a recognised Lecturer in InternalMedicine.-Dr. Spitzer, who soon after graduating in Viennawas appointed Professor of Anatomy in Constantinople,where he had to organise the medical school, an undertakingwhich was fraught with numerous difficulties. He, however,succeeded in establishing the school and was appointedDirector. He gained the confidence of the Sultan AbdulMedjid by curing him of a severe illness, and was appointedHis Majesty’s body physician. Of course, the Imperial favourbrought with it a great deal of opposition and misrepresentationfrom his rivals, and he found matters becoming so unpleasantthat he requested leave to retire from Constantinople, whichhe did in 1850. Some years later the Sultan appointed himOttoman Agent in Naples, which post he held until HisMajesty’s death in 1861. Since that time he had occupiedhimself with literary and scientific work, living sometimes inParis and sometimes in Vienna, where he died at the age ofeighty-one.-Dr. Cuzzi, Professor of Clinical Midwifery inthe University of Pavia.-Dr. E. Bailly, formerly professeur-agrégé in the Paris faculty of medicine.-Dr. Sim, Professorof Medicine, Memphis Hospital College.-Dr. Otton Marshi-novich Dannenberg, the oldest surgeon in the Russian army.He was born in 1807, and took his diploma as Medical Prac-titioner at Dorpat in 1831.

MANCHESTER MEDICAL SOCIETY.---The annualmeeting was held on the 9th inst. in the society’sreading-room at Overs College, Dr. Dixon Mann, theretiring president, being in the chair. The officers for theensuing year were appointed, and Mr. F. A. Southam waselected president. His name is well known in Manchester,for his father was for many years a distinguished surgeon tothe Royal Infirmary, and the son worthily holds a similarappointment. The report stated that the society had com-pleted its sixtieth year and was in a satisfactory condition."The num’oer of members had increased, the finances weresound, the library was richer in medical literature and morepatronised, and increasing interest was taken in the

meetings." There are now 280 members, as compared with268 at the end of 1893. Some changes were made inthe laws, which have undergone revision, the most importantbeing the reduction of the annual subscription from twoguineas to one guinea. This will be a popular change, andextend the benefits of the society to a larger medical circle.It may be that the competition of the youthful but veryprosperous Clinical Society has been felt as a stimulus, butthe fact remains that membership of the two societies willnow cost two guineas instead of three, and many will beglad to join both. The library now contains 31,230 volumes,in addition to a large number of pamphlets. Facilities aregranted for the use of books to the students of medicine,and last year the number of volumes issued to them was5851. The ordinary members have also made increased useof the library during the past year.

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.--We have receivedthe first number of a new medical monthly magazine, entitledClinical Sketches Illustrative of Medicine and Surgery.The contents, if not quite fulfilling the promise of thetitle, are of an interesting and varied kind, prominent amongthem being four papers on Diphtheria, comprising an accountof its bacteriological diagnosis and directions for the use ofantitoxin serum. Illustrations of a finished and pictorialcharacter are a special feature. Among these we maymention two views of Sidmouth and a full-page reproduc-tion of Harvey’s portrait preserved in the Royal College ofPhysicians, London. The paper is edited by Mr. NobleSmith, F.R.C S. Edin., who is to be congratulated on hisopening number. The publishers are Smith, Elder, and Co.,15, Waterloo-place, W.

. BOURNEMOUTH MEDICAL SOCIETY.--At a meet-

ing of this society held on Dec. 21st, 1894, Mr. Parkinson,President, in the chair, a resolution was passed expressingregret at the death of Dr. Bisset Hawkins, one of the honorarymembers. Dr. Andrew and Mr. Hale were elected honorarymembers, and Dr. Ringer and Dr. Fosbery ordinary members.Dr. Muspratt showed a case of Peculiar Skin Affection. Onthe radial side of the second phalanx of the left forefinger’was a raised ring about as-large as a sixpence. The historywas that it had begun as a slight wart and had extended atthe periphery, while the natural skin became restored in thecentre. The patient was a healthy girl aged about twenty.It was not tender, and there was nothing in her occupa-tion to account for it. Mr. F. Fred. Gardner showed a.

case of Deformity of the Scapula. Mr. Bernard Scottshowed a patient in whom he had removed the internalsemilunar cartilage from the knee. Mr. Mahomed readnotes of a post-mortem examination in a case of AcuteDilatation of the Stomach, with short notes of the history.The affection arcse during convalescence from pleuro.pneumonia and was rapidly fatal ; the patient was a mantwenty years of age. Mr. Mahomed gave a résumé of theliterature on the subject and argued that excessive secre-tion was a factor in the disease besides the loss of muscular-power in the stomach walls. He found that in all the recordedcases the history showed the existence of some primarydisease in the vagus tract. Mr. Kemble read notes of a caseof Convulsions occurring at four months and a half of’

pregnancy and accompanied by hemiplegia. There was norenal incompetency. The fits had been very persistent.Trinitrine was very efficacious in the first instance, but the-fits recurred three weeks later and it then proved of no value.Bromides were then attended with success. The hemiplegiawas transitory. Gestation was now proceeding without dis-turbance of health and had advanced to seven months. An

adjourned discussion followed the presidential address on theWants of the General Practitioner.
