UNIVERSITY OF LONDON : MEETING OF THE MEDICAL FACULTY.-A meeting of the Medical Faculty was held at the University on Tuesday afternoon last, Nov. 30th, when, in the absence of the Dean, the chair was taken by Dr. F. H. Champneys, chairman of the Board of Advanced Medical Studies. There was no quorum, but two important reports from the committee were considered and amended. The first report, had reference to the conduct of the work of the Faculty, and was as follows :- Whilst considering the previous recommendations of the Faculty adopted on March 12th and 26th, 1909, to be the best arrangement for condunting the work of the Faculty, the committee recommend the adoption of the following resolutions :- (a) That a committee of the Faculty be appointed which shall deal with matters referred to the Faculty and report thereon to the Faculty. (b) That this committee be constituted as follows : (i.) The Dean of Faculty of Medicine, who shall be ex officio chairman of the Board. (ii.) The secretary of the Faculty of Medicine. (iii.) The chairman of the Boards of Studies in the following subjects: Pre- liminary Medical Studies, Intermediate Medical Studies, Advanced Medical Studies, Dentistry, Pharmacy (when appointed), Hygiene and Public Health, Physiology and Experimental Psychology, Human Anatomy and Morphology. (iv.) Two representatives of the Board of Preliminary Medical Studies to be appointed from the members of the Faculty by the Faculty after report from the Board in question. (v.) Two representatives of the Board of Intermediate Medical Studies . to be appointed from the members of the Faculty by the Faculty after report from the Board in question. (vi.) Four representatives of the Board of Advanced Medical Studies to be appointed from the members of the Faculty by the Faculty after the report from the board in question. (vii.)

The second report of the committee concerned the various reports of the Boards of Studies which had been referred to it. The text of this report was circulated to the members of the Faculty of Medicine on Oct. 19th-22nd, 1909. Without expressing any definite opinion on the details of the reports of the Boards of Studies, the Faculty consider that, in order to secure coordination among the medical schools and improve the efficiency of medical education in London, it is important that the control by the University over the medical schools be increased. This can be effected by securing to the University the disposal of funds which it can apply for the maintenance of education and research in the London medical schools. The Faculty also draw attention to the fact that, unlike many medical schools attached to universities, the medical schools of the London hospitals receive no grant in-aid from the Treasury, and are - almost entirely dependent on students’ fees. The Faculty recommend that the report of the special committee appointed by the Faculty in 1905, which report was adopted by the Faculty, should be reaffirmed. Mr. H. J. Waring moved, and Dr. Norman Moore seconded, a resolution which was adopted unanimously, that this report, as amended, be forwarded to the Senate by authority of those present.

THE LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC ABATTOIRS.-The public health committee reported to the London County Council on Nov. 30th with reference to a request by the Local Government Board to be furnished with the observations of the Council on a memorial addressed to the Board as to the desirability of establishing public abattoirs in London. The question has been repeatedly post. poned by the Council since 1898, when the committee recora- mended the establishment of public abattoirs. The committee now advised that, having regard to the fact that the Council had no statutory powers to provide public slaughter-houses and to the special circumstances of London and the numerous interests concerned, the Council should inform the Local Government Board that in its opinion a departmental com- mittee should be appointed to inquire into the question of the establishment of public slaughter-houses in London as well as into the question of food inspection generally. The recommendation was approved. Parliamentary Intelligence. NOTES ON CURRENT TOPICS. The Ilottsing and Town Planning Bill.

The points of difference between the Lords and the Commons have been compromised and adjusted, and on Thursday, Nov. 25th, the latter, at the instance of the President of the Local Government Board, gave their formal assent to the necessary amendments. Speaking on this occasion Mr. BURNS emphasised the importance of the irremoveability of the medical officer of health of a county (except with the consent of the Local Government Board) which the Bill secures.

THURSDAY, NOV. 25TH.
Discharged Lunatic Seamen.Mr. FLYNN asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty what practice was
adopted by the Admiralty authorities in respect to lunatic seamen dis-charged from the Royal Navy ; whether it was the custom to seud thesemen to their relatives or to the workhouses of their native districts;if so, was the practice sanctioned by naval medical officers; and did theAdmiralty authorities propose to continue the practice of deductingfrom the pension or other allowance given to discharged lunatic seamennow maintained in Irish lunatic asylums the capitatlun grant paid bythe State towards their maintenance and transferring the amount ofsuch grant to the relief of the vote four the Admiralty.-Mr. LAMBERTreplied : The procedure of the Admiralty is governed by the LunacyActs, 1890-91, and by the provisions of the Army Act, Section 91, madeapplicable to the naval service by Section 3 of the Naval EnlistmentAct,1884. Dangerous lunatics are committed to an asylum, those entitled to pensions for life being admitted to the Royal Naval Hospital, Yarmouth. Non-dangerous lunatics are sent to Yarmouth or to the union of theparish to which it appears from the declaration made on entry and
1719
from other information that they are chargeable, unless their relationsor friends are willing to take charge of them and the Admiralty issatisfied that proper care will be taken of them. In the latter case theAdmiralty acts on the advice of the naval medical authorities. With
regard to the last part of the question, the reduction of the pension bythe amount of the grant received by the asylum authorities from theLocal Taxation Account in aid of the pensioner’s maintenance is made inaccordance with the provisions of Section 7, Clause 2, of the Super-annuation Act of 1887, and the Admiralty has no option in the matter.
Territorial 3ledicaZ Officers in London.
CaptainFABER asked the Secretary of State for War whether he wouldstate whether there was a senior Territorial medical officer in Londonsuitable to take command of No. 1 London General Hospital.-Mr.HALDANE answered : This general hospital is formed by the staff ofSt. Bartholomew’s Hospital. The senior physician asked that ColonelHarrison, a distinguished medical officer who had been in the GrenadierGuards, should be appointed administrator, and he was accordinglygazetted on Nov. 2nd.
Royal Army (Territorial) Medical Corps Transport.Sir SAMUEL SCOTT asked the Secretary of State for War whether he
could give any date upon which the re-issue of harness to the RoyalArmy Medical Corps Transport of the Territorial Army would be com-pleted ; and what steps were being taken in the interim to admit of themen receiving the necessary training with wagons.-Mr. HALDANEreplied: Orders were issued on Nov. 12th for the re-issue of theharness that had been withdrawn.
The Health of the Troops in .1laZta.Answering Mr. LuPTON, Mr. HALDANE said : During recent years
improvements have been steadily carried out in relation to the drainageof the harbours in Malta. In 1906 a considerable number of the troopswere transferred from St. Elmo to the new barracks. The MediterraneanFever Commission, however, obtained no evidence connecting thecondition of the harbours with the prevalence of Mediterranean feveramongst the troops. Since the prohibition of the use of goat’s milk inbarracks and hospitals Mediterranean fever has practically disappearedfrom amongst the troops. The evidence given in the reports of theRoyal Society’s Mediterranean Fever Commission connecting goat’smilk and Mediterranean fever is so strong and the improvement in thehealth of the troops since the use of goat’s milk has been given up is somarked that no responsible Minister who did not wish to be regarded asweak and incompetent would venture to remove the prohibition of theuse of goat’s milk by the garrison.
Hemel Hentpstead Union Infirmary.Mr. TALBOT asked the President of the Local Government Board
whether his attention had been called to the recent death of a patient inthe infirmary of the Hemel Hempstead union, which formed thesubject of an inquiry before the coroner ; whether he proposed to takeany action with regard to the management of that workhouse, especiallyas regards the treatment of the sick poor; and whether he could holdout any expectation of the issue of a General Order to ensure the appoint-ment of trained nurses in all workhouse infirmaries.-Mr. BURNS wrotein reply : My attention has been called to the case referred to. Ideeply regret the occurrence and I have fully informed myself withregard to the circumstances connected with it. I am giving considera-tion to the management of the sick wards of the workhouse in question,and I am in communication with the guardians on the subject. With
regard to the last part of the question, I may point out that under theorders at present in force provision is made for the appointment of oneor more nurses of experience in every workhouse.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 1ST.Sleeping Sickness in Nyasaland.
Mr. REES asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whetheran authenticated case of sleeping sickness occurred in the native hos-pital of the Church of Scotland Mission in Nyasaland last September;and whether he was aware that the existence of other cases was sus-
pected.-Colonel SEELY replied: Two natives suffering from sleepingsickness were admitted to the Blantyre Mission Hospital on June 8th andAugust 14th respectively. The first patient died in July and the second,who came from Portuguese territory, died in September. The nativesof Nyasaland are being svstematically examined for sleeping sickness.Up to Sept. 30th four cases had been discovered, but there is no reasonto suppose that infected persons are numerous in the Protectorate.
Carbon-Monoxide Gas Fatality.Mr. GEORGE ROBERTS asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department whether his attention had been directed to the recent casein which a workman was found dead and another unconscious at the
Winnington (Korthwicq) chemical works; whether these men had beenovercome by carbon-monoxi(le gas; and, if so, whether he wouldfurther consider the advisability of scheduling affection by this gas as adangerous disease under the Workmen’s Compensation Act.-Mr.GLADSTONE replied: I have obtained a report with regard to the circum-stances of this case, from which it appeared that the men were suddenlyovercome by carbon-monoxide gas while cleaning out a cylinderin a tower used for washing residual gases. The case, therefore, appearsto be one, not of disease, but of accident, to which the provisions of theWorkman’s Compensation Act are already applicable. It was announcedat the inquest on behalf of the employers that full compensation wouldbe paid.
