IMPRISONMENT FOR SELLING BAD MEAT.

BT Leamington on Monday last a drover was sentenced to three

months’ imprisonment for depositing for sale meat unfit for human.consumption. The defendant having bought a cow for 12s. 6d. in a

neighbouring town, slaughtered it, and offered the flesh for sale.

The Mayor of Leamington pointed out that the health of the popula-tion could not be preserved if such offences were permitted, and veryproperly sent the offender to prison.

11 THE ALFORMANT."

IN our notice last week of this apparatus for the disinfection of air

by means of formaldehyde generated by heating tablets of

"paraform" in a special lamp, it was stated that each tablet on

heating yielded two and a half times its weight of gas. It should

have read that each paraform tablet yielded formalin vapour equiva-lent in amount to two and a half times its weight of liquid formalin.A saturated aqueous solution of formalin contains 40 per cent. of

,gas, so that one part by weight of " paraform" is equivalent to twoand a half parts by weight of liquid formalin. The discrepancy ispointed out in a communication which we have received from Dr. S.Rideal, who has very thoroughly investigated the disinfecting powersof formalin and its preparations.

Mr. George E. Clemow.-There can be no hesitation in affirming that itis not only inexpedient, but most improper, that the charge of wardsfor infectious diseases should be given to the same resident officers ofa general hospital who have to conduct "major surgical operations,abdominal sections, &c." Indeed, the project of establishing suchwards within sixty yards of the main building is fraught with.danger. That the bacteriological laboratory should be conducted bythe same officers is perhaps unwise, but less open to objection on thescore of liability to the transmission of disease, since precautionscould easily be taken. The laboratory would, we imagine, be mainlyused as an adjunct to the clinical work of the institution, and the sizeof the hospital is not too great to prevent the officers devoting someof their time to such scientific investigations.

Enquirer (H. C. D.) is recommended to consult his medical man.

CHEAP JAM.

A. CORRESPONDENT who ought to know writes to us as follows concern-ing a paragraph in our last issue: "I notice in THE LANCET a

paragraph referring to the quality of the jam given to the inmatesof the Bedwellty workhouse. The small sum of 2ad. per poundsuggests at once to the uninitiated in practical details a sweet slush,M* a miserable substitute for jam. I do not think this need neces-

sarily be the case. At the present very low price of good sugar, andwith the opportunities of securing sound fruits in bulk quite.cheaply (which the commissariat department of public institutionsought to be on the alert to do), a good jam can be furnished at’the figure named. I am talking now of home-made jams, and ofcourse such jams may be spoilt by careless preparation. With regard to manufactured products, after the preparation of choice jams in,large manufacturing establishments there are quantities of preserve ’,often left not quite shapely in form, or up to the high standard of theparticular market. A mixture of these remnants is retailed in someplaces at the low price of Is. 6d. for seven pounds, and in largerquantities can be procured at a still lower figure. It is known as

’household jam’ and is thoroughly good and wholesome. In con-

clusion I see no reason why a sound and palatable jam cannot beprovided at 2d. per pound."

TOSSING FOR A CORONER.

AT the Essex County Council, held at Chelmsford on Tuesday last,. there was a tie in the voting for the coroner for the metropolitan. district of the county, and the chairman of the council tossed up aoin, and upon head coming up declared Dr. Ambrose, of Buckhurst-

ill, duly elected.

PRESENTATION TO MR. W. J. C. MILLER, B.A.

WE recently announced that a fund was being raised, mainly by"educational" friends, to present a testimonial to Mr. Miller, lateRegistrar of the General Medical Council. The testimonial, con-sisting of a watch and purse, was presented to Mr. Miller on Friday,Oct. lst. The watch bears a monogram, with the following inscrip-tion on the inner case: "Presented, with a purse of gold, to

W. J. C. Miller, Esq., B.A., by friends and correspondents in England,America, India, and on the Continent of Europe, as a small token ofpersonal esteem and in acknowledgment of his eminent services tomathematical science through the Educational Times. October,1897."A complete list of the names of the subscribers to the fund waspublished in the EditcationaZ Times of Oct. 1st.

J. W. C.-So far as the improvement of the voice is concerned theearlier the false palate is employed the better, but the younger thechild the more difficult it is to fix the obturator firmly, so that theremay be no danger of its being swallowed. It must further be bornein mind that in children the false palate must be changed frequentlyto correspond with the rapid increase in size of the mouth whichoccurs in childhood. All these points being taken into considerationit may be said that a false palate should not be fixed until the childhas attained the age of two or three years. If the employment ofthe obturator be delayed to a later age there is great probability thatthe nasal tone of the voice will be permanent.

Mrs. S. M. Bosanquet will find that we have made frequent allusion tothe peril possibly latent in the chalice.

THE EULOGY OF QUACKERY.- To the Bditors of THE LANCM.

SIRS,-This is a cutting from "Stray Notes" in the WhitehavenGazette of Sept. 30th :-

" There has been much talk lately about the wonderful cureeffected to a Carlisle lady by the use of the water at St. Winifred’sWell, at Holywell....

" After all is said and done, I don’t see anything very miraculousin the cure. We all know how ignorant medical men are as a rulein connection with broken bones or dislocated joints. Even inWhitehaven cures have been effected in less than an hour ofailments that medical men have given up in despair."Mr. Wilson, the bone-setter, of Aspatria, who attends the

various market towns of the county once a week, has effectedgreater cures than this at Holywell, and no one attaches anyextraordinary virtue to his treatment. He simply understands whathe is about, and puts his knowledge into practice."

Comment is needless except to add that the opinion therein

expressed is a very popular one in this part of the world, and that weare constantly subjected to censure by all classes because the bone-setter’s diagnosis differs from ours. With the many associations andsocieties to which members of the profession are asked to subscribefor their mutual protection can nothing be done to stop this branch ofunqualified practice ? When will the public be willing to allow that it

requires a braver and often more skilful man to confess doubt upon apoint of diagnosis than to assert an absolute opinion, be it rightor wrong, in all cases ? I am, Sirs, yours faithfully,

Gosforth, Cumberland, Oct. 1st, 1897. C. H. POWERS.

** The General Medical Council, it is hoped, will soon attempt to dosomething to stem the tide of quackery. It is in the meantime very

regrettable that journals should publish these sweeping puffs ofbone-setters. A little inquiry into the claims of such persons toknowledge or past success would always reveal their ignorance—ED. L.

W. W.—Every case must be judged on its merits. We cannot guesswhat the Local Government Board might do without knowing theparticular circumstances, but it probably has complete power to act asour correspondent describes.

A NURSE’S " MEDICAL AND SURGICAL SERVICES."THE following advertisement appeared in a recent number of an

evening paper :-

SYDNEY.—A Lady, skilled Nurse, æt. 28, will Give her medicaand surgical Services, or act as Companion to a Lady or special

case, on a voyage to Sydney or to any port within 300 miles ofthere, and, if necessary, will stay a short time on arrival, in returnfor passage ; highest testimonials up to date and diploma.-AddressDr. -, York.

We should be glad to know what are the medical and EUrgicalservices of a nurse, what is the difference between a "lady" and.. a special case," and what is the diploma"?

Sigma is asked to sign a letter or give his address for publication, sothat answers can be sent direct to him.

A POINT IN COLLIERY APPOINTMENTS.

DR. J. CowAN WILSON writes to us at some length concerning hiE

position towards the practice in a colliery in his neighbourhood. The

eolliery in question has been until recently under the medical care ojMother practitioner residing elsewhere. Certain of the collier!

having desired to be under the treatment of the medical man residingnearer them the medical officer offered to put an assistant in the

place. But upon a ballot 143 colliers voted for employing Dr. Wilson,resident in the place, against 22 who did not wish to change. The

manager of the colliery does not sanction any change and will con-tinue to deduct the agreed weekly charge from the wages of the 22.and to hand it to the original medical officer. The 143 dissentientswill not have this deduction made from their wages, but must make a

collection among themselves for their medical man, which detractsfrom the safety and convenience of the appointment. Dr. Wilson’s

contention is that the majority having declared in his favour thesame facilities should be given them with regard to their choice as aregiven to the minority who have decided to uphold their formermedical man, and upon the face of it the argument has much force.

A PREDISPOSITION TO HERNIA ?- To the Editors 0/ THE LANCET.

SIRS,-A boy, aged seven and a half years, rather under the averagesize, has ridden a fat little cob since he was six years of age. He iscomfortable in the saddle, can ride for ten or twelve miles without anyfatigue, and is passionately fond of it. To my mind no harmcan accrue, but everywhere I find the lay mind very muchexercised as to the harm that will be done to him by puttinghim on such a wide mount. I find the general impressionis that it will produce hernia, but I cannot see why opening the thighsin a light little boy should be any more dangerous than jumping aboutat play. The cob is very gentle and intelligent, in every way suitableotherwise, and I should be very sorry to have to change, but of course ’if there is anything in the popular idea I must not risk a rupture for theboy. I am, Sirs, yours faithfuly,Oct.3rd,1897. THE FATHER. M.D.

As the inguinal canal is somewhat opened in the abducted thighit is possible that if the thighs were kept for several hours daily inthe abducted position the child would to some extent be risking apredisposition to hernia. The risk would not be great, but it wouldexist. We know of no observations on the subject.-ED. L.

Worried should consult his family medical man, who will respect hisconfidence.

THE GENERAL PRACTITIONER AND THE " NURSES’ COÖPERATION."A CORRESPONDENT has sent us for comment the following advertise-ment which appeared in The Borough of Marylebone Mercury of,Saturday last :-

MIDWIFERY BRANCH.

Ings House. - - - - Nurses Co-Operation. ’

81, NEW BOND STREET, W.

Ladies are attended by Certificated Midwives at Fees from 7s. 6d.

(London Obstetrical Society.)Matron can be seen privately every morning before 12 a.m.All Cases must be booked and paid for beforehand.

Fully Trained Nurses are sent out for all cases.

TELEPHONE No. 5,109.Telegrams, " OVERNIGHT," London.

He asks whether the London Obstetrical Society is aware of the

way in which its name is being used, and quotes the adver-tisement as a striking example of the competition againstwhich the general practitioner has now to contend. It would

be interesting to know what the nurses would do if the case

turned out to be a complicated one, for even certificated personsare not infallible. Would they send for the nearest generalpractitioner to assist them or have they a particular medicalman upon whose services they can rely by arrangement ? In theformer case is the medical man likely to be paid well when 7s. 6d.has already been obtained from the patient for inadequate services ?In the latter case has the medical officer of the Cooperation consideredthat he is assisting in a dodge for obtaining the patients of his fellowpractitioners ?

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