AN ADVERTISING "REFEACTIONIST."

A CORRESPONDENT residing in Colchester has sent us a cutting fromthe Essex County Standard of June 28th, which runs as follows:-

DEFECTIVE EYESIGHT AND ITSRELIEF BY GLASSES.

Expert Eye Examinations daily, at Sight-TestingOffice, St. Botolph’s Pharmacy,

34, ST. BOTOLPH STREET,COLCHESTER.

Hours :-10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.An accurate correction prescribed and glasses fitted for all cases

of errors of refraction. If relief is promply sought, and glassesproperly used, normal vision results, unless a diseased conditionrenders oculists’ treatment necessary.

Eyes often saved from permanent injury or blindness by promptmedical treatment or the use of glasses.

MR. W. EDES EVERETT,OCULISTS’ CERTIFIED OPTICIAN

, AND REFRACTIONIST, ,

Member of the British Optical Association; Fellow of theWorshipful Company of Spectacle Makers; Member of thePharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.

We should like to draw the attention of the Worshipful Company ofSpectacle Makers to the advertisement of this " Oculists’ Optician"and " Refractionist." We do not know whether the advertiser is

claiming that he himself gives " prompt medical treatment," for hisannouncement is rather comprehensive than comprehensible; but

we are certain that nobody who is not a qualified medical man canpossibly prescribe glasses " for all cases of errors of refraction."

"THE SEQUEL TO VACCINATION WITH GLYCERINATEDCALF LYMPH."

WE have received a letter from Mr. John H. Bonner, who says thatthe contradiction of Mr. J. West’s story which we published onJune 21st on the authority of West’s Stourbridge Brick Company isincorrect, Mr. Bonner having, he says, investigated the facts for the .

Morning Leader. Mr. Bonner concludes his letter by saying : " Ishall be glad to hear whether, after this explanation, you intend tomake the amende honourable to Mr. J. West." Will Mr. J. West

kindly communicate with us ?

ASPINALL’S ENAMEL AS A SURGICAL APPLICATION.

WE have received from Messrs. Aspinall and Co. a communicationsent to them by a nursing sister at the Station Hospital at RawalPindi concerning the use of their white enamel in a case of

erysipelas. A patient who was suffering from erysipelas was painted,by the instruction of his medical man, with Aspinall’s white enamel,nearly the whole of his face being painted, as can be seen from thephotograph inclosed. We have analysed Aspinall’s white enamel andfind it to be a preparation of zinc-white (the sulphide, oxide, andcarbonate forming the basis of many similar en amels) in a mediumof oil, so that it will be seen that the application was a very suitableone for the case.

FOR MUTUAL ADVANTAGE.To the Editors oj’ THE LANCET.

SiRS,-Some friends of mine in Douglas, a small town 100 milessouth-west of Kimberley, South Africa, have written to ask if I know

58

-of anyone who wishes to go out to South Africa for his health, suggest-ing someone suffering from early phthisis pulmonalis. My friends have;a vacancy for a gentleman who will have board, lodging, and laundryfree in return for two hours’ daily tuition of their son, a youth aged17 years, in general English knowledge. They are loyal Dutch farmerswho have suffered severely through the war and are consequentlytunable to offer any further remuneration than free quarters, &c., in a

-very comfortable home with fairly liberal table. Not knowing ofanyone myself to suit their requirements it occurred to me that

;amongst your readers there might be one who has a patient who wouldonly be too glad to avail himself of such an opportunity. If so, wouldhe communicate with me, when I should be glad to supply anyfurther details. I inclose my card.

I am, Sirs, yours faithfully,July 1st, 1902. M.B.

THE LAW FUND.

S)B. R. PARAMOBE sends us for publication the following letter from theDowager Lady Jenner, widow of the late distinguished President ofthe Royal College of Physicians of London :-

"I enclose a cheque for j65 5 5s. as a contribution to the fundwhich is being raised to defray Dr. Law’s costs in the action

brought against him by a patient whom he had treated with thegreatest attention and kindness. I feel sure that my husband, ifhe were living, would have willingly subscribed to the fund andwould have felt the greatest sympathy for Dr. Law."

Dr. Glover, at the meeting held for the purpose of helping Dr..Law, referred to the kindness of Sir William Jenner in taking up a- case similar to that of Dr. Law where a medical man was badly- treated. He held meetings at his own house and by his influence..evoked such practical sympathy that even a larger sum of moneywas obtained than that required for actual costs. The followingadditional subscriptions have been received by Dr. Paramore,2, Gordon-square, W.C. Cheques and postal orders should be

The fund now amounts to E368. It may be explainedthat this is in response to an appeal made privately to members

’, of the profession for benevolent aid in a distressing case which’

has been described in a letter sent to a limited number of

I medical men (who would help the cause by kindly handingI on " to confrères). Should any reader of THE LANCET desire further

particulars with a view to expressing practical sympathy, a copy ofthe letter will be forwarded on application to Surgeon-General Muir,26, Kensington-gardens-terrace, Hyde Park, London, W.

-

Ind.-’We have referred our correspondent’s question to the Scotch Edu-cation Department, the secretary to which has replied : " The ques-tions involved bear upon the interpretation of the Education Acts inregard to which my lords have no power to give any authoritativedecision. Such questions must. if necessary, be decided by a courtof law. Even with this restriction my lords have only intervenedand can only interv ne in the matter so far as it has been or maybe found to affect the administration of the Education Acts in

particular cases. They can offer no opinion whatever regardingit as bearing upon claims made by medical officers, as this is

entirely outside their province." In a similar matter coming underthe London School Board the procedure is as follows. The duty of aschool board is to see that the children attend school. If a child isabsent the board may demand that the child’s parent should showcause for his or her absence. If the parent cannot do this by meansof a medical or other certificate the board can summon the parentbefore a magistrate. But a school board has no power to demand amedical certificate for the absence of a child from school. TheLondon School Board states on the forms of medical certificateswhich it supplies (although it has no power to demand such certifi-cates) that it will not be liable for any expense connected with suchcertificates. We do not remember that the point has hitherto beendecided by a court of law.

Sigma.-We do not know any book but one dealing exclusively withthe subject, although chapters on the subject are found in many,especially American, works. The book in question is a small

pamphlet written by Mr. Maurice C. Hime, M.A., LL.D., and pub-lished by Messrs. J. & A. Churchill.

X. y. Z.-As our correspondent found relief from strychnine under thesame conditions some years ago we think that he might very welltry it again-combining the use of it with nitro-glycerine if

necessary.

COMMUNICATIONS not noticed in our present issue will receive attentionin our next.

During the week marked copies of the following newspapershave been received ’.-Daily Express (Dublin), Torquay Directory,Yorkshire Mercury, Local Government Chronicle, Sanitary Reeorcl,Derbyshire Courier, Surrey Advertiser, Local Government Joumal,Carpenter and Builder, Rotherham Express, Liverpool Daily Post,Jourzzccl of Tropical Medicine, Westminster Gazette, Knowledge,Broad Arrow, Torquay Times, Midland Express, Army and NaryGazette, Weekly Free Press (Aberdeen), Bristol Mercury, MadrasJournal, Reading Mercury, Mining Journal, Herefordshire Mercury,Daily Telegraph, Le Progres Médical, Scientific American, LiteraryDigest, Gazzetta degli Ospedali e delle Clinicle, Deufacle MedicinischeWochertschrift, New York Medical Journal, Jourral of the ’mericar?.Medical Association, &c.
