Brown from typhoid fever at Cairo on May 12th has removed one of the younger members of the profession who could ill be spared. Several resident appointments at Guy’s Hospital and a year’s good work at the London School of Tropical Medicine were a fitting pre- paration for the post of resident medical officer at Kasr-el- Aini Hospital which Dr. Brown held at the time of his death. His sound judgment, devotion to his duty, and kindliness of manner made him greatly respected and esteemed by his colleagues and his early death at the age of I,, 27 years is regarded by them not only as a direct personal loss but also as a loss to the profession, in which he gave !I promise of a most brilliant career.

PREVENTION OF INFANTILE MORTALITY.-On June 5th a conference was held at the town hall, Pancras-road, London, N.W., under the presidency of Dr. R. M. Beaton, L.C.C., when the question of the prevention of infantile mortality by the improvement of the health of’ mothers and of the feeding of sucklings was discussed. A letter was read from Sir Lauder Brunton advocating pure fresh milk rather than sterilised milk as infants’ food. Sir William Broadbent dwelt on the important bearing which infantile mortality had upon the physical deterioration of the race and said that the whole future of thousands of children depended upon the first few weeks of life. Dr. Herbert R. Spencer, Mrs. Scharlieb, Professor A. Macfadyen, Dr. H. R. Kenwood, and Dr. Dudfield took part in the dis- cussion and several important resolutions were adopted affirming the desirability of the instruction and care of mothers, the early registration of births, the appointment, of women inspectors, the importance of breast feeding, and the danger of premature weaning. OPENING OF A NEW CONVALESCENT HOME AT LITTLE COMMON, BEXHILL.-On May 25th the board of management and a number of friends and supporters of the- institution visited the new men’s home of the Metropolitan Convalescent Institution at Little Common, about three miles- from Bexhill. The buildings when complete will accom- modate 118 patients but owing to lack of funds the central, portion only of the building has been completed, with 71 beds for patients. When sufficient money is forthcoming an east and a west wing will be added. The buildings are fitted’ with the most modern sanitary and electrical appliances. The Metropolitan Convalescent Institution was founded in, 1840 and now maintains four homes, containing 555 beds, to which every year nearly 7000 patients are admitted free upon discharge from hospitals or after illness at home.

Mr. CHANNING- asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he had considered the circumstances disclosed at the inquest held on May 20th on George Charles Nichols, a horsekeeper of the Andrew Star Omnibus Company, Fulham, who was found to have died from acute glanders, and, further, the recommendation of the jury that veterinary inspectors ought to have power compulsorily to apply the mallein test to in-contact animals with a view to stamp out this disease ; whether he was aware that in one London hospital no less than seven similar fatal cases to man had been diagnosed; whether he was aware that out of 16 recently purchased Australian horses in. the same omnibus stud 12 had been found to have glanders; and whether, having regard to these circumstances, he would take the necessary steps to have the mallein test compulsorily applied to all in-contact animals in case of outbreaks of glanders and to provide a full veterinary inspection and the application of the mallein test in the case of horses imported from Australia or any country in which glanders was prevalent or suspected.-Mr. FELLOWES. answered : I have received from the London County Council full information as to the result of its inquiries into the regrettable circumstances to which the honourable Member refers. Although it is a fact that the horses reacting to the mallein test in this case were of Australian origin it is not by any means clear that the horses were affected with glanders when imported, and it seems, on the whole, more likely that they contracted the disease since their purchase in London in January last; the desirability of amending the Glanders Order in the direction indicated is a subject which is receiv- ing my careful consideration, but there are difficulties, both administrative and financial, in the way of the compulsory adoption of the mallein test in connexion with outbreaks of glanders which I have not so far seen my way to overcome. I am at the same time making inquiries with a view to decide whether any action can usefully be taken in the direction of controlling the im- portation of horses into this country. I have not before me the in- formation referred to by the honourable Member with regard to one of the London hospitals, but the London County Council has been good enough to inform me that during the last five years 12 cases of human deaths from glanders have been brought to its notice, in six of which a connexion was traced to outbreaks of that disease in horses. MONDAY, JUNE 5TH. V-anaes Struck off the illedical and the Dental Regiaters. Mr. WEIR asked the Home Secretary whether in view of the fact that during recent years 20 names had been struck off the Medical Register for infamous conduct in a professional respect and 12 restored. whilst out of six names removed from the Dental Register for a similar cause one had been restored, he would state the nature of the offences originally preferred in the case of those whose names had been restored. Mr. AKERS-DOUGLAS said : I could hardly specify the offences without identifying the persons indicated ; and, as they have been restored to the register, this would merely give unnecessary pain to individuals without serving any useful public service.

Lunacy Return,Mr. CIIARLE,13 HoBHOusE asked the Home Secretary whether the
return granted in 1904 relative to the expense of lunacy was yet readyand when it would be published.-Mr. Annas-DouGLAS said: Thisreturn, the preparation of which has been exceptionally difficult, isnow in the printer’s hands and will, I hope, be published shortly.
Physical Deterioration.Mr. WEIR asked the Lord Advocate whether the Secretary for Scot-
land had yet considered the expediency of issuing to parochial medicalofficers, sanitary inspectors, and inspectors of poor, leaflets containingthe opinions of the Committee on Physical Deterioration relative toventilation and the bringing up of young children with a view to thedissemination of information on these subjects.-The LORD ADVOCATEanswered: The Local Government Board is taking steps to ascertainhow far it is practicable to issue leaflets on the lines suggested bythe honourable Member.
TUESDAY, JUNE 6TH.Direct Representatives on the General Medical Council.
Mr. WEIR asked the Home Secretary whether in view of thefact that under Section 7 of the Medical Act of 1886 the repre-sentation of medical practitioners on the General Medical Councilwas confined to three representatives for England, one for Scotland, andone for Ireland, and that during the interval of 19 years medical practi-tioners had increased in number in England alone by 7000, the GeneralMedical Council had considered the expediency of representing to thePrivy Council the desirability of increasing the number of representa-tives of medical practitioners on the General Medical Council as providedfor under Section 10, Subsection (c), of the Medical Act.-Mr. AKERS-DouGLAS replied: I am informed that this question was considered bythe General Medical Council last month and on no less than six otheroccasions during the previous 15 years, but that each time the decisionof the Council has been that it is inexpedient to make any representa-tion to the Privy Council. -
SELECT COMMITTEE ON REGISTRATION OF NURSES.The Select Committee of the House of Commons which is consider-
ing the question of the registration of nurses heard further evidenceon Tuesday, June 6th.Lady HELEN MuNRO-FERGUSON, replying to the Chairman, Mr.
H. J. TENNANT, said she was a vice-president of the Associationfor Promoting the State Registration of Nurses. She did not think thepresent condition of things was satisfactory to the employing public.The certificates issued by the various hospitals varied in value and thepublic were unable to distinguish between their merits. Notonly the training but the examinations varied and it would bean advantage to have coórdination. A certificate of the CentralBoard would indicate to the public that that board had satisfied itselfthat the holder was duly trained and had received a good characterfrom the matron of the training school. Many hospitals kept norecords and many of the nurses who wished to go to the South AfricanConcentration Camps with the Scottish contingent could not be
accepted in the absence of such records, although they were qualified.Registration would level up the country hospitals. She did not thinkit would be at all impossible for the poor in rural districts to secure theservices of fully trained nurses. In Scotland they had many Queen’snurses, fully qualified, in the rural districts. She would be againsthaving two classes of nurses. Cottage nurses, she pointed out, wereusually certified midwives and had the status of their own register.She alluded to the proposal of a Local Government Board committee inScotland that the poor-house nurses in the absence of a standard shouldhave a syllabus of training and an examination at Edinburgh or
Glasgow and proceeded to state the various classes of the communityfrom which nurses were drawn. Of 143 nurses in one Scottish hospital13 were the daughters of clergymen, 35 of professional men, 50 oftradesmen, six of clerks, 32 of farmers, and two had been in service.By Mr. C. HoBnouSE: She did not want cottage nurses to be
employed in the belief that they were fully trained and qualifiednurses, though she personally had no objection to them practising asnurses.
By Sir J. STIRLING-MAXWELL: There was an unlimited supply ofapplications for vacancies in the large Scottish hospitals.
Sir HENRY BuRDETT, re-examined, produced figures to show that thethree years’ course was practically general throughout the hospitals inthe United Kingdom. Referring to the proposals which he had sup-ported and had already laid before the Committee, he said that in orderto secure that the certificate issued to nurses should represent aminimum average of efficieney it was essential that the Nursing Councilshould supervise the examination of all nurses throughout the country.He attached great importance to the uniform curriculum of training.But he was impressed with the breakdown of the General MedicalCouncil and they had to avoid that rock in regard to the nurses. TheGeneral Medical Council had power to send visitors and inspectors toexaminations, and it did so, but in practice he understood it had notyet levelled up the examinations everywhere to its satisfaction. Thestep of reporting any examining body to the Privy Council had notbeen taken since the Medical Acts existed. He was told the reasonwhy was that the General Medical Council was not quite sure whatwould happen.
Sir J. BATTY TUKE remarked that this evidence was quite irrelevant.Continuing, the witness admitted that the average standard of exa-
mination for the medical profession was of an extremely high order andwas improving but there were still blots. He wished a drawing togetherof everybody who had to do with the training of nurses so that theymight start on a basis which would secure that from the very outsetthey were definitely and speedily making towards a uniform standard.That was to be obtained by the registration of training schools and thesources of supply such as existed in the colonies.The Committee adjourned till after the Whitsuntide recess.
