by which the general practitioner could be saved from ruin.He spoke amid loud cries of " hear" and indignation from all

parts of the meeting, of the insults and degradation which hadbeen heaped upon members of the college by the irresponsiblecouncil, and declared emphatically that no concession from thatcouncil could give them, as general practitioners, adequate pro-tection. (Loud cries of hear, hear.) The experience of the lastthirty years was a sufficient proof of this ; and it’ anything morewas wanting, let them look at the stealthy manner in which thelate charter, which deprived members of their just rights, hadbeen obtained. (Loud .cries of hear, hear.)Mr. PORTER seconded the resolution, and spoke of the neces-

sity of acting through the influence of individual members ofParliament.

The sixth resolution was proposed by Mr. BLENKARNE, andseconded by Mr. WEAVER-

That a petition, in conformity with the above resolutions, bepresented to the legislature, and that the members for the City ofLondon be requested to support the same."The seventh resolution was proposed by Mr. WILLIAM SMITH,and seconded by Mr. REYNOLDS-

That the cordial thanks of this meeting are, in an especialmanner, due to the editor of The Tinies for the ability displayedin advocating the just cause of the general practitioners, and forthe influence exerted in impressing upon the community at largea correct understanding of the proposed Bill,"And-" That the best thanks of this meeting be presented to Thos.

Wakley, Esq. M.P., editor of THE LANCET, and to the medicalpress generally, for the zealous and efficient manner in whichthey have exposed the objectionable clauses of the proposed Bill,and for their consistent support of the privileges of the generalpractitioner."Thanks were afterwards voted to the chairman and to the

honorary secretary, Mr. W. SMITH, and carried by acclamation.Those gentlemen severally returned thanks.A deputation was appointed, consisting of the president, the

honorary secretary, Mr. Roberts, and Mr. M. Beale, to wait onthe members of Parliament for the City of London, to request theirsupport in strenuously opposing Sir James Graham’s Bill.A liberal subscription was entered into to defray the

Altogether, the meeting, which consisted of almost everygeneral practitioner in the city, was conducted in the best spirit.The resolutions were carried without a dissentient voice, andthe hearty cheers which followed every exhortation to union andto opposition to the odious Bill, shewed how deeply the cause wasfelt by every individual present. The conduct of the council ofthe College of Surgeons was treated by almost every speaker insevere terms.

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONOF

GENERAL PRACTITIONERS.

THE Provisional Committee gladly avails itself of the liberalityof the Editor of THE LANCET, to publish the following matter:-THE ASSOCIATION OF GENERAL PRACTITIONERS IN MEDI-

CINE, SURGERY, AND MIDWIFERY, was instituted at a publicmeeting held at the Hanover-square Rooms, 4, Hanover-square,on Saturday, the 7th day of December, 1844, on the requisitionof sixty-two gentlemen practising in the city of Westminster andthe borough of Marylebone.

R. R. PENNINGTON, Esq.being called to the chair, the following resolutions were adoptednent. con. :- -

.

" I. That this meeting is decidedly of opinion, that prior to thepassing of any Bill for the regulation of the practice of medicineand surgery, it is of the utmost importance to the interests of thepublic that the general practitioners of medicine, surgery, andmidwifery, should be legally recognised, and placed in an inde-pendent position ; and that the executive Government be respect-fully and earnestly requested to suspend the further considerationof the Bill laid before Parliament at the close of the last session,until this object has been attained.

" II. That, in furtherance of the object of the former resolu-tion, it is the opinion of this meeting that an association should beimmediately formed, under the title of THE ASSOCIATION QFGENERAL PRACTITIONERS IN MEDICINE, SURGERY AND MID-WIFERY.’

" III. That this Association use its best efforts to obtain acomplete organization of the general practitioners, for the purposeof petitioning for a charter of incorporation, to be sanctioned byAct of parliament, and for taking such other steps as circum-stances may, from time to time, render necessary for the pro-

tection of their interests..

" IV. That the Society of Apothecaries be solicited to co-operate with this Association in furtherance of the objects of theformer resolutions.

" V. That a provisional committee of thirty-one members,with power to add to its numbers, and of which not less thanseven shall form a quorum, be elected by this meeting, to

carry the objects of the Association into effect; also to framelaws for its constitution and government, to be submitted to ageneral meeting for its approval.

" VI. That the provisional committee be empowered to forman union with this Association of the different societies of generalpractitioners in town and country, instituted for similar objects;

" VII. That, upon its formation, one of the first duties of thisAssociation shall be to petition the legislature against the re-introduction of Sir James Graham’s Bill, and to use every legalmeans to prevent its passing through parliament."

In compliance with the third of the above resolutions, and toeffect the organization as rapidly and as completely as possible,at a meeting of the provisional committee, held on Tuesday, the24th of December, it was unanimously resolved-

" I. That honorary local secretaries be appointed for everycounty, and every parliamentary division of a county. Thelocal secretaries to be resident general practitioners in the countytown, or in the principal town in each parliamentary division ofa county.

" II. That the local secretaries be empowered to appointhonorary local sub-secretaries in large towns and populousdistricts of their respective counties, or divisions of counties.

" III. That honorary local secretaries be also appointed incities and boroughs which are not county towns, or the principaltowns of divisions of counties, wherein the general practitionersdesire to organize themselves independently of the countyorganization."The immediate object of these appointments is organization,

and a ready means of communication between the provisionalcommittee in London and the country general practitionersthroughout the kingdom. The general practitioners of everycounty town, and of every principal town of the parliamentarydivisions of counties, are urged to confer together forthwith, andto nominate one of their own body, whom they can recommend tothe provisional committee, as honorary local secretary for theparticular county, or parliamentary division of a county, autho-

128

rizing him to forward their names for enrolment to the office ofthe Association in London.Any individual general practitioner, in each of the county

towns and principal towns of parliamentary divisions of counties,will most efficiently further the objects of the Association bytaking upon himself, without delay, to call together a sufficientnumber of his brother generr.l practitioners for the above specialpurpose.

General practitioners in cities and boroughs, not being countytowns, or the principal towns of the divisions of counties, desiringto organize themselves independently of the county organization,are requested to advise the committee in London to that effect, torecommend local secretaries, and to forward their names as soonas possible for enrolment.The names of the local secretaries for the different counties,

parliamentary divisions of counties, cities, and boroughs, will beadvertised, and printed instructions will be forwarded to them asspeedily as practicable.

London .......... 184Office, No. 4, Hanover-square.

SIR,—We beg to acquaint you that in accordance with the^recommendation of ................,and other General Practitioners of...........the Provisional Committee of " The Association of GeneralPractitioners," has appointed you their Honorary Local Secre-aary for .................We are requested to forward you the following instructions:1. That the object of this appointment is to obtain a complete

organization of the General Practitioners in Medicine, Surgery,and Midwifery, of England and Wales, as quickly as possible, andto facilitate communications between the Provisional Committeein London and practitioners over the whole country.

2. That from time to time, and with no more delay than neces--sary, accurate lists of the names and addresses of the General:Practitioners of your........... who are

willing to join this Association, for the purpose of obtaining aCHARTER OF INCORPORATION to be sanctioned by ACT OF PAR-LIAMENT, and for taking such other steps as circumstances mayTender necessary for the protection of the interests of the GENE-RAL PRACTITIONERS, be forwarded to the Provisional Committeein London.

3. That in populous towns and districts of your .....where you deem it expedient, an Honorary Local Sub-Secretary’be appointed to carry out the process of enrolment, according tothe plan adopted by the association. That the names and ad-dresses of the local sub-secretaries be transmitted to the pro-visional committee, and that they be instructed to send their listsof members and reports in to you, as the local secretary of their........... to be forwarded by you toLondon.

4. That no fee be demanded for enrolment, nor any annualsubscriptions entered iato, but that DONATIONS to the fund forcarrying out the objects of the Association be received by you.That the names and addresses of the donors be transmittedweekly to the provisional committee, that they may be advertised.That a weekly statement of the necessary expenses incurred bealso furnished, and that the balance, after deducting the expenses,be sent to the joint treasurers of the association, EDWARD TEGART,Esq., 39, Pall Mall, and JOHN DODD, Esq., Portman-street, Port-man-square, as often as the committee shall direct.

5.

We have the honour to be, sir, your obedient Servants,JAMES BIRD, } Hon. SecsHENRY BIRD, HENRY ANCELL, } _

The following letter was drawn up by T. Herbert Barker,Esq., honorary local secretary for Bedfordshire, and circulatedthroughout that county. The provisional committee has adoptedit as a recommendation to other local secretaries, and a copy isforwarded to each on his appointment:-

" Sir,-At a public meeting of general practitioners, held inLondon, on the 7th ult.,-R. R. Pennington, Esq. in the chair; itwas resolved, that an Association should be immediately formed,under the title of The Association of General Practitioners inMedicine, Surgery, and Midwifery; and considering that, prior’to the passing of any Bill for the regulation of the practice ofmedicine and surgery, it is of the utmost importance to theinterests of the public, that the general practitioners should belegally recognised, and placed in an independent position; it wasalso resolved, That this Association use its best efforts to obtaina complete organization of the general practitioners, for the pur-pose of petitioning for a Charter of Incorporation, to be sanc-tioned by Act of Parliament, and for taking such other steps ascircumstances may, from time to time, render necessary for theprotection of their interests.’

" The Society of Apothecaries have been solicited to co-

operate with this Association ; and to shew their decided approvalof the steps which have been taken, the whole of the examinershave enrolled themselves as members.

For the purpose of obtaining a complete organization of thegeneral practitioners in England and Wales, communicationshave been opened with them, through the medium of local secre-taries in the various parliamentary districts of the country.

" It is ll( at present intended that any subscription should betaken for enrolment, or any annual subscription adopted, untilthe charter of incorporation be obtained ; but for the furtheranceof the objects above stated, lists for donations have been openedby the treasurers of the Association.

11 Gentlemen legally practising the profession generally, underdiploma or licence, or who were engaged in practice prior to theyear 1815, can enrol themselves members of this Association,which is intended to consist of general practitioners in medicine,surgery, and midwifery only." The Association has already been making rapid progress

under the auspices of general practitioners of the highest respect-ability and standing; and, should you be willing to join it, I shallbe obliged by your taking an early opportunity of communicatingwith me, in order that your name may be forwarded to the pro-visional committee in London.

" I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant," _____.

" Hon. Secretary for .« To ,» "

As a further evidence of the almost unanimous concurrence ofthe General Practitioners in town and country, in favour of theviews advocated by this Association-namely, the incorpora-tion of the General Practitioners in medicine, surgery, and mid-wifery, into an independent college-the following extracts fromthe published opinions of several most important Societies mustbe taken as conclusive :-

, THE SOCIETY OF APOTHECARIES, in a letter to the Se-

cretaries of the Manchester Medical and Surgical Association, state," That the Society had no personal, corporate, or local interests toadvocate," and that " the very existence of an independent collegeof general practitioners implied a resignation, on the part of theSociety, of all further interference with the education or controlover the affairs of the General Practitioners, the Society havingonly one aim and object left to them-namely, to see the GeneralPractitioners in the full enjoyment of an independent organiza-

tion, and to lend their zealous help to promote the success of thatmeasure."

At a meeting of the old ASSOCIATED GENERAL PRAC-TITIONERS IN MEDICINE, SURGERY, AND MID-

WIFERY, of 1812, held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, onthe 27th of December, 1844, JAMES MORRAH, Esq. President,it was resolved and carried unanimously-,, That it is abso-lutely necessary that the Association, consistently with its ownregulations, should co-operate with the profession to obtain anindependent position, and it readily concurs with the views ad-vocated by the Associated General Practitioners in Medicine,Surgery, and Midwifery, to secure, by their united efforts, a Col.lege of Incorporation of General Practitioners."THE BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, at a meeting

held at Exeter Hall, Nov. 26th,’1844, (Dr. WEBSTER, President, inthe chair,) resolved-" That the time has arrived when it hasbecome imperatively necessary to adopt all legitimate means forthe legal union of the General Practitioners of this kingdom intoa distinct corporation."THE MARYLEBONE MEDICAL AND SURGICAL

ASSOCIATION, at a special meeting held at the Literary andScientific Institution, 7, Edward-street, Portman-square, on

Monday, the 30th of December, 1844, (J. PROPERT, Esq., in thechair,) resolved, nem. con.-" That this Association do merge intothe National Association of General Practitioners in Medicine,Surgery, and Midwifery, instituted at a public meeting, held atthe Hanover-square Rooms, December 7th, 1844, under the pre-sidency of R. R. PENNINGTON, Esq."

Whilst the FiNSBURY, TOWER HAMLETS, KENSINGTON,PIMLICO, and other district METROPOLITAN ASSOCIATIONS, have,either by conference or otherwise, declared their entire concurrencein the propriety and necessity of incorporating the general prac-titioners into an independent college.

In the Provinces, also, the feeling appears to be almostuniversal in favour of a Charter of Incorporation.At a meeting of the members of the MEDICAL PROFESSION

resident in the county of DORSET, held at the committee-room ofthe Dorset County Hospital, on Friday, Nov. 29, 1844,

It was proposed by Mr. SrooNER, of Blandford, and seconded byMr. CURlIIE, of Dorchester-" That in the absence of any provi-sion in the new Bill (which is much regretted) for the admission

134

of general practitioners, on terms honourable to your body, intothe corporate privileges of either of the colleges of physiciansand surgeons, it would greatly tend to the welfare, respectability,and usefulness of the profession, to unite the general practitionersinto a separate college or body corporate, with power to managetheir own affairs upon the representative principle."At a special general meeting of the members of THE TAUNTON

AND SOMERSET BRANCH OF THE PROVINCIAL MEDICAL ANDSURGICAL ASSOCIATION, held at Pallison’s Hotel, Taunton, onWednesday, 4th Dec. 1844.

It was moved by Mr. STODDART, of Comeytrowe, near Taun-ton, seconded by Mr. HIGGINS, of Taunton, and carried unani-mously-° That inasmuch as there appears to be no prospect atthe present time of the legislature consenting to the union of thewhole profession into one body or faculty of medicine, and in theabsence of any provision for the admission of the general practi-tioners into a participation, on terms equal and honourable tothat body, in the corporate privileges of either of the colleges ofphysicians and surgeons, it is absolutely essential to the well-being of this the most numerous and influential body of the pro-fession, that it should be united into a separate college, or bodycorporate, (under some such name as ’ The College of Medicineand Surgery,’) with power to manage its own affairs inde-

pendently, upon the representative system, and that the interestsof such corporation should be fully and equally represented inthe Council of Health and Education."At a meeting of the GENERAL PRACTITIONERS OF AYLES-

BURY, and its vicinity, held at the Buckinghamshire Infirmary,Wednesday, January 8th, 1845,-ROBERT CEELY, Esq. of Ayles-bury, in the chair, *

Mr. E. POPE, of Tring, and Mr. E. HowELL, of Princes Res-borough, moved and seconded the following resolution, whichwas carried nem. con.-" That this meeting, earnestly deprecatingthe re-introduction into parliament of the Medical Bill of Sir J.Graham, and being convinced of the necessity of obtaining acharter for the incorporation of the general practitioners, desiresto co-operate with the National Medical Association in London,and therefore resolves to form a society, called The BucksMedical Association,’ for that purpose, as well as for adoptingsuch other measures as may perfect the interests, and augmentthe usefulness and respectability, of the general practitioner."The GENERAL PRACTITIONERS OF WHITEHAVEN, at a meet-

ing held in the Infirmary, on the 13th of January, 1845,-Mr..MITCHELL, the senior practitioner in the chair,

Resolved unanimously-’, That the meeting being fully con-vinced of the inadequacy of the Bill, both educational and prac-tical, views with satisfaction the efforts now being made by thegeneral practitioners throughout the kingdom for a charter ofincorporation," &c.A meeting at ULYERSTONE, held on Wednesday, the 15th

inst, and most numerously attended,Resolved unanimously-,, To co-operate in the endeavour now

making to procure a charter of incorporation for the establish-ment of a royal college of general practitioners in medicine, sur-gery, and midwifery."At a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the profes-

sion at SUNDERLAND, held December 11, 1844, the followingresolution was passed :-

" That this meeting views with great satisfaction the plansuggested, of incorporating the general practitioners into a col-lege by royal charter," &c.

At a numerous meeting of the general practitioners resident inBRENTFORD and the neighbouring towns in MIDDLESEX andSURREY, held at the Royal Hotel, in Old Brentford, Jan. 21st, 1845,

It was unanimously resolved-" That the interests and effi-

ciency of the general practitioners would be best promoted bytheir incorporation as an independent college."And the MEDICAL AND SURGICAL ASSOCIATIONS OF GLASGOW,

MANCHESTER, BEDFORD, SURREY, CIRENCESTER, HEREFORD,and numerous others, have recorded their sentiments as highlyfavourable to the proposed incorporation of the general practi-tioners into a collegiate body. Since, for the most part, the nameshave not at present been returned to the office by the secretariesof these associations, many of whom are actively engaged in ob-taining signatures, the General Association may now be taken asnumbering several thousands. It is also confidently expected,that many of the parliamentary districts are forming branchassociations, although they have not, at present, returned theirlocal secretaries.The proceedings of the PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE, as detailed

in the foregoing pages, have hitherto been chiefly continued to the

carrying out of the third resolution agreed to at the public meet.ing, on the 7th of Dec. last-viz., to effect a complete organiza-tion of the General Practitioners. The means of attaining thisdesirable, this paramount object, are now so simple, that it restswith every individual practitioner in the kingdom to strengthenthe body collective by furnishing his name, and by affordinghis active co-operation and assistance. The rapidity withwhich the Association has reached its present numerical strengthand degree of importance, leaves no room to doubt, that a veryshort period will suffice to enable it to assume for itself the nameand character of 11 THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GENERALPRACTITIONERS IN MEDICINE, SURGERY, AND MIDWIFERY," andto give it all the political weight that a large majority of thelegally qualified practitioners of medicine and surgery in thiscountry ought to possess. The further proceedings of the provi-sional committee and of the Association must, in some measure,depend upon the steps taken by the Home Secretary respectingthe Bill now before the public, and upon the measures of theexecutive government relating to the medical profession, and alsoupon the proceedings of the medical corporations ; but, under anycircumstances, they are determined to spare no pains, and to loseno time, in taking the necessary steps to secure the speedy andcertain success of the general practitioners in the attainment oftheir great object-A CHARTER OF INCORPORATION, sanctionedby an ACT OF PARLIA31ENT; and to render that Charter inde-pendent of the existing corporations, and as beneficial as possibleto the public and to the profession. In accordance with suchdetermination, they have forwarded a Memorial, accompaniedwith a letter addressed to the Right Hon. Sir James Graham, andare considering the heads of a Charter, which will be submittedto the Association at an early period.The letters of a great many correspondents, both in London

and the country, contain inquiries as to the amount of subscrip-tions required. It will be seen that all DONATIONS are VOLUN-TARY, and a post-office order, made payable to the Treasurers atthe post-office in Piccadilly, is the best mode of transmittingdonations from a distance. A considerable fund will be necessaryto enable the general practitioners to ensure success, and it i&confidently hoped that the plan of voluntary donations will notdisappoint the expectations of the committee.The honorary secretaries receive letters amounting to eighty

and more daily, many of them very lengthy; it is thereforetrusted, should omissions occur in replying to questions containedin this bulky correspondence, that they will be excused. It hasbeen the endeavour of the provisional committee, in their adver-tisements, to furnish satisfactory replies, as far as practicable, tomany of the questions that have reached them.

AT the Meeting of the Provisional Committee, on Tuesday,Jan. 28th, it was resolved, that the following documents be pub-lished :-To the Right Hon. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Bart., her Majesty’s

principal Secretary of State for the Home Department,&c. &c. &c.

The Memorial of the President, and other Members of theASSOCIATION of GENERAL PRACTITIONERS in MEDICINE,SURGERY, and MIDWIFERY,

Sheweth,That out of every hundred practitioners of medicine in this

country, more than ninety are general practitioners, (as contra-distinguished from physicians and surgeons,) individuals whohave been educated in conformity with the existing laws in theprinciples both of medicine and surgery, who actually practisethe profession in all its branches, and who profess to be prepared,and competent to act as medical attendants in all emergencies.

That this numerous and important division of the medical pro-fession have hitherto, for the most part, received their medicaleducation according to the rules of the Apothecaries’ Society, andhave been licensed to practise by that body after due examinationin medicine ; and also, after another examination by the RoyalCollege of Surgeons, they have been constituted members of thatcollege, and sanctioned by its diploma to practise surgery-thistwofold test of knowledge indicating the legally-qualified generalpracritioner.

That for the convenience of the public, the medical professionhave arranged themselves into three classes of practitioners-namely, physicians, surgeons, and general practitioners, and thatat the present time this tripartite division of medical practiceexists, and must continue to exist.

That the physician practising medicine only, or the surgeonprofessing to practise surgery exclusively, although each mostbeneficial in their separate departments, can never supersede thenecessity to the public of the well-informed and carefully-educated

135

general practitioner, in whom the office of physician and surgeonare intimately blended, and that recovery from many forms ofdisease might frequently be prevented were the knowledge of theindividual practitioner confined to the mere range of either branchof the profession.That at the present time the general practitioner is the ordinary

medical attendant of many members of the aristocracy, of thegreater portion of the middle classes, and he may be consideredas exclusively the medical adviser of the labouring population ofthis country, the assistance of the physician and surgeon beingusually called in only in cases of great emergency or difficultyarising in their respective departments; hence the necessity ofthe general practitioner being educated to the present highstandard of professional knowledge, and hence (working uponthat standard, and notwithstanding their disadvantages under theexisting laws) the experience and high degree of skill in thetreatment of diseases which many have attained, and the well-founded confidence of the public resulting therefrom.That your memorialists look upon this subdivision of labour as

an arrangement chiefly adapted to extensive and wealthy com-munities, and firmly express it as their opinion that medicineand surgery, in a scientific and educational point of view, beingfundamentally the same, the individuals who practise generally mustalways constitute a large majority of the profession, while in countrydistricts they will form almost the only source of medical relief.

That notwithstanding the great and advancing efforts of thegeneral practitioners to meet the increasing wants and require-ments of the vast community committed to their charge, their pre-sent position is most anomalous. They are acknowledged as practi-tioners of medicine alone under the Apothecaries’ Act, and they havehitherto been recognised as practitioners of surgery alone by theCollege of Surgeons; neither the Apothecaries’ Society nor theCollege of Surgeons recognising them as general practitioners inmedicine, surgery, and midwifery, which latter important branchhas not hitherto been sufficiently provided for, so that thoughthey constitute an indispensable professional body, numberingperhaps fifteen or eighteen thousand, and possessed of great indi-vidual influence, they are unknown in a collective capacity; andin the Bill brought into the House of Commons last session, bySir James Graham and Mr. Manners Sutton, their existence isnot even alluded to.That under these circumstances the general practitioners have

not the means of prescribing such a course of study to thosedesiring to become members of their branch of the profession,as, in the opinion of your memorialists, would be desirable, inorder to raise their whole body to the standard of character andreputation enjoyed at present by a large portion thereof.That your memorialists beg to express it as their firm and

and deliberate opinion, that it would prove to the best interestsof the public generally, and most conducive to the advancementof medical science, and be also a measure most serviceable to theprofession, if the general practitioners were incorporated bycharter into an independent college, with a governing council,power to frame by-laws, and provide for the future education ofthe general practitioner, and placed, as respects the managementof their own affairs, in every respect on a footing of equalitywith the existing colleges of physicians and surgeons.That all legislation for the medical profession as a whole, so

long as the anomaly of a tripartite subdivision of its members,with only two ostensible heads, exists, must end in disappoint-ment, and the benevolent intentions of the Government be fromthis cause alone most materially frustrated.

Your memorialists, in conclusion, have only to draw theserious attention of the right hon. the secretary of state,to this their earnest memorial, in the full confidence thatdue consideration will be given to a matter of such highimportance to the interests of the profession and thepublic, and respectfully to request that an opportunitymay be afforded of giving, as they are prepared to give,the fullest explanation that can be required by a deputa-tion of their body, or otherwise, as may be most con-venient.

To the Right Hon. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Bart., her Majesty’sprincipal Secretary of State for the Home Department,&c. &c. &c.

Sir,-We are directed by the Association of General Prac-titioners in Medicine, Surgery, and Midwifery, instituted at aPublic Meeting, held at the Hanover-square Rooms, on Decemberthe 7th, 1844, under the. presidency of R. R. PENNINGTON, Esq.,to forward you the accompanying memorial.We are further directed to entreat most respectfully your

earnest attention to the following objections which this Associa-tion entertains to the " Bill for the better regulation of the prac-tice of medicine," lately introduced into Parliament.The Association regards the provisions by which the control of

the future general practitioners in medicine, surgery, and mid-wifery, is taken out of the hands of their own class, and virtuallygiven to the colleges of physicians and surgeons, or to the repre-sentatives of the consulting practitioners in medicine and surgery,as most objectionable. Members of the College of Physicians,or members of the College of Surgeons individually, how eminentsoever, or a mixed board, composed chiefly of physicians andsurgeons, are not likely to be competent judges of the propercourse of medical education for the general practitioner, as theseare two distinct bodies, having different views, and neither ofthem, as a matter of course, conversant with the details of generalpractice and its consequent requisites; the result of a board so con-stituted would be-as respects the plan and scope of a course ofmedical education, and the tests of qualification to practisemedicine, surgery, and midwifery-that the general practi-tioners would not reach the point of practical efficiency whichhas been shewn to be attainable.The Association further objects, that the proposed Bill offers

no efficient legal impediment to the practice of physic, surgery,and midwifery, by uneducated and unqualified individuals, andthat, accordingly, its direct and immediate tendency is to throwa very large proportion of the practice into the hands of a classof tradesmen, (the chemists and druggists,) who, notwithstandingtheir general respectability, are totally unacquainted with theconstitution of the animal economy, the nature of diseases, andthe power and influence of remedial agents; and again, as

containing no penal clause, that the Bill tends to promote andencourage quackery of every species, by the ignorant and un-principled charlatan.The Association most respectfully urges its thorough convic-

tion, that in this manner the tendency of the Bill is to degradethe general practitioners as a class.The Association further objects that a power is proposed to be

vested in a Board of Health, (in which, as general practitioners,they have no adequate representation,) in the first place to definewhat are to be regarded as public institutions, and in the secondplace, to decide what class or grade of medical practitionersunder the Bill, is to be eligible to fill the medical and surgicalappointments in such institution-a power which, if exercised atall, can only be exercised against the general practitioner, andthe introduction of which into the Bill implies an intention toprevent the general practitioners holding such appointments.In this respect, the Association, representing the great body ofpractitioners in this country, regards the Bill as subversive ofthose motives of honourable ambition which ought to actuateevery individual in the practice of a liberal profession.The Association desires us most respectfully to remind you,

that the very numerous and respectable class of general practi-tioners in medicine, surgery, and midwifery, has been created bythe customs and necessities of the community, and that the legi-timate practice of physic and surgery, depending as a scienceupon the same principles-those customs have a rational founda-tion. That in the various respects herein cited, and in itsgeneral scope and tendency, the Bill thus tends to degrade the mostnumerous and most useful class of medical men. That if it beadmitted that an improvement may take place under its opera-tion in the status of the physician and pure surgeon, and that itmay promote the interests of the consulting practitioners, thedegradation of the larger class of general practitioners, and itsnear assimilation with the chemists and druggists, and other un-educated pretenders to the healing art, must be diametricallyopposed to the public interests, and must have a direct tendencyto aggravate disease, and to increase the sum of mortality through-out the kingdom.We are finally desired to state, that for these and other

reasons, some of the more cogent of which are set forth in theaccompanying memorial, the Association of General Practitionersin Medicine, Surgery, and Midwifery, most respectfully and mostearnestly entreat, and venture to express a hope, that, on matureconsideration, you will regard it as a matter of the utmost im-

136

porttmce to the public interests, that the general practitionerswould be legally recdgnised, and placed in an independent poi-tion, prior to the passing of any Bill through Parliament for theregulation of medical practice in this country.We have the lionour to be, Sir, most respectfully, your very

obedient humble servants,JAMES BIRD, Hon. Sees.HENRY ANCLL, S

TO m R, PTtN3NGTON, ESQ.Whitehall, Jan. 27th, 1845.

SiR,—I have had under consideration the Memorial of thePresident and other Members of the Association of GeneralPractitioners in Medicine, Surgery, and Midwifery, instituted ata public meeting held at the Hanover-square Rooms, on Dec. 7th,1844, addressed to me, and signed by yourself as President, andseveral other gentlemen as members of the Provisional Committeeof the Association. The aim of the memorial is to induce me toadvise her Majesty to incorporate the general practitioners by"charter into an independent college, with a governing counciland power to frame by-laws, and provide for the future educationof the general practitioners, and to place them, as respects themanagement of their own affairs, in every respect on a footing ofequality with the existing Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons."

This subject was recently brought to my notice by a lettersigned by the Master of the Society of Apothecaries of the City ofLondon, expressing the opinion of the Society that " the desire foran independent organization of the general practitioners by anincorporation of a collegiate character, has been of late so

generally and unequivocally expressed at public meetings of thesepractitioners, and through other public channels, that the Societythink themselves warranted in believing that a very large propor-tion of the general practitioners of this country have declared theirwishes in favour of such an incorporation.’’

In answer to this letter, I directed the Master of the Society tobe informed that I was ready to receive any matured plan forincorporating a new body of general practitioners, but that beforeI could form an opinion, or even consider a project, all the detailsof the scheme must be laid before me, and the names of the lead-ing persons who promote it, and who are parties to the proposedorganization, must be declared.Your memorial does not sufficiently comply with either of these

requisite conditions.The names appended to it, although of great respectability, and

deserving of high consideration, belong exclusively to metro-

politan practitioners, and the subscribers do not profess to haveany authority to represent the wishes of their provincial brethren.The memorial neither explains the proposed organization of theintended corporation, nor furnishes the names of those to whomthe charter is to be granted, who, as is usual in such cases, wouldbe named as the first office-bearers in the corporation.As soon as you can supply these deficiencies, and satisfy me

that the expressed wish of your Association is felt also by a largenumber of country practitioners, I shall examine the draft of yourproposed charter with every disposition to promote the usefulnessand respectability of the important branch of the profession towhich you belong.

I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,.

(Signed) JAMES GRAHAM.

Nothing has been omitted by THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEEto place itself in a position to comply with the Home Secretary’swishes, but the attention of the general practitioners in the coun-try is most particularly directed to that part of the letter of SirJAMES GRAHAM which states that " the names of the leadingpersons who promote it-(the application for a charter)-andwho are parties to the proposed organization, must be declared."A note to the Honorary Secretaries, at the Office, No. 4,

Hanover-square, London, containing the name and address, infull, of individuals, is sufficient to secure the enrolment ; but-LOCAL SECRETARIES should be immediately nominated for all

the COUNTY TowNs, CITIES, and BOROUGHS, where such afunctionary is not already appointed.

THREE CASES OF HARD CIRCUMBCRYBED TUMOURS IN MUSCLE,DISAPPEARING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE IODIDE 01!

FOTAssiuM.ňBy Tnos. TATUM, Esq. Surgeon to St. George’sHospital, and Lecturer on’Anatomy.

THE author relates three cases of tumours in the substance ofmuscle, supposed to be the effects of chronic inflammation, anddeposition of coagulable lymph between the fibres. In each ofthe patients the swellings were situated in the sterno-cleido-niastoideus muscle; and in one, a similar tumour afterwardsformed in the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major muscle,but which was distinguished by being a bony hardness, andapparently connected with the periosteum of the clavicle. Theauthor is of opinion, that had the progress of the disease not beeninterrupted early, ossific deposit would probably have taken placein the tumours, and the muscular structure would have been con-verted into bony tissue. He draws particular attention to- thedecided influence which the iodide of potassium had in removingthe tumours, and the inefficiency of various other remedies whichhad been previously tried. *

Mr. CaeSAR HAWKINS remarked, that in these cases the in-flammation was not always confined to the muscles, but some.times implicated the cellular tissue. In other cases, the musclesonly were affected.

Sir G. LEFEVRE, in reference to the use of iodine in thesecases, related an instance in which it was alleged, although therewas no absorption of the testicles, that there was complete loss ofvirile power, as the result of taking iodine for four or fivemonths, for secondary syphilis, in the form of iodide of potassium,ten grains three times a-day. He had heard of cases of absorptionof the mamma from the use of iodine, but never of the testicles.

Mr. C. HAWKiNS had never met with, or heard of, a casesimilar to the one related by the last speaker.

Mr. CURLING had never seen tumours like those described byMr. Tatum in the sterno-cleido-mastoid muscle. He had, however,seen induration resembling cartilage in the same muscle, abouttwo months after birth, by which the head was completely fixed.The induration had been removed, at the end of a few weeks, bythe simple use of mild liniments.

Mr. AcTON had seen iodine extensively used by M. Ricord,and had himself employed this medicine to some extent, but in nocase did he recollect any such effect as that alluded to by Sir G.Lefevre. Iodide of potassium was occasionally productive of

pain in the stomach, soon after it was taken; but this depended-on the administration of the dose in a small quantity of water.He (Mr. Acton) always gave it largely diluted. The other illeffect of this medicine was occasionally the production of ametallic taste in the mouth, and a spongy state of the gums, inwhich they were easily induced to bleed.

Mr. SNOw related a case of an infant a week old, in which atumour, with tenderness, arose in the course of the stemo-mastoid muscle, as the result of pushing the face on one sideviolently. The swelling remained a week or two, but subsidedunder the use of mild lotions and liniments.

EFFECTS OF MILK DIET.

A COMMUNICATION was read from Mr. W. J. WARD, of Brighton,having reference to a late discussion by the fellows of theSociety, respecting the influence of milk as an article of diet, areport of which he had seen in THE LANCET. Three cases weredetailed, in which the writer was of opinion that the use of milkdiet had been of the most essential service. In the first case, thepatient, a female, was’ suffering from a sloughing bubo of thegroin, of a frightful character. Porter, wine, bark, and opium,internally, and all the local remedies usually resorted to in thesecases, were tried without effect; the’patient was rapidly sinking,but under the use of milk diet, and the application of a stale,beer-grounds poultice to the affected part, she rapidly recovered.In the second case, that also of a female, all the symptoms ofphthisis pulmonalis were materially mitigated by the use of milkdiet, and sanguine hopes were even entertained of a recovery,when the patient fell a victim to having indulged immoderatelyin the eating of " pumpkin pie." The third case was that of a

young lady, aged seventeen. She stated, that during the lastfifteen months she had not retained any food on her stomach formore than three or four hours consecutively. There was very
