MEDICAL DEFENCE UNION, LIMITED.-The usualmonthly council meeting of the union was held at the
registered offices on June 21st, Dr. Walter Griffith,the President, being in the chair. An election of candi-dates took place, the total number of new membersbeing 270. The general secretary read a draft letter whichhe had prepared in the matter of a report to the GeneralMedical Council concerning the granting of certificates topersons other than medical practitioners by certain associa-tions and lying-in institutions and which certificates are takenby the holders and the public as qualifying them to practiseas midwives. The council adopted the letter andordered it to be forwarded to the General MedicalCouncil with a recommendation from the union to thefollowing effect-viz., "That it is desirable in the interestsof the public that medical practitioners either individuallyor collectively by association should not be allowed to issueany document which in any way can be taken by theholder or the public as granting authority to practise orwhich can be used to cover any practice of medicine,surgery, or midwifery, saving in the case of persons examinedby duly appointed examining bodies under the supervisionof the General Medical Council through their inspectorsof examinations." Directions were given to the executive tocall the attention of the council of the Royal British Nurses’Association to the heading in their register of nurses,Appendix B, and also to the use of the words " Diploma,London Obstetrical Society, &:c.," appended to certain nurses’names. The union suggested to the Royal British Nurses’Association that the heading referred to-viz., ° List ofNurse-members who have Obtained Certificates Qualifyingthem to Act as Midwives "-i. e !# to practise midwifery-waslikely to mislead the public into the belief that these
1918
nurses were duly qualified practitioners and that an alteration was desirable in the title to the appendixA medical practitioner who was proved to be " covering" the practice of a much-advertised self-styled "aurainstitute was ordered to be reported to his licensingcorporation for unethical conduct. An important reporidrawn up by the solicitors of the union with regard to thepresent law relating to the keeping for gain of persons ojunsound mind by registered practitioners who possessed nclicence from the Lunacy Commissioners was read and orderedto be entered upon the minutes. The report urged aramendment in the lunacy law with regard speciallyto the definition of a "lunatic" and steps were directedto be taken to bring this question before the Lord Chancellor,A report in reference to the admission by school boards ofcertificates of ill-health of children signed by persons otheithan registered medical practitioners was ordered to beextended and dealt with later. Owing to the numerous
cases which were brought before the council at eachmonthly meeting it was decided to hold executivecouncil meetings regularly every 14 days in orderto shorten the sittings if possible. Action was directedto be taken in certain instances where memberswere threatened with writs for alleged negligence incases attended and reports were made by the solicitorand general secretary in other cases in which actionsthreatened had collapsed when it became known thatthe union was prepared to defend. A report was made bythe solicitors in a case of dispute between a medical memberand a druggist in reference to the ownership of prescriptionbooks kept by the latter which contained solely the prescrip-tions for patients for whom the druggist had dispensedmedicines at the instance and at the charge of the practi-tioner. A satisfactory result of the difference was reported,but it was decided to recommend medical men who handedtheir dispensing over to local druggists that in order toavoid any chance of dispute they should use their own booksin which the prescriptions could be copied in future.CHURCH SANITARY ASSOCIATION.-The eighth
annual meeting of this association was held last week at theChurch House, Westminster.-Dr. W.
