Nerve-grafting.Professor Korte and Professor Bernhardt have recently pub-

lished in the Deutsche Medicinische Wookenqchrift a case inwhich a divided facial nerve was successfully dealt with bygrafting it on to the hypoglossal nerve. The patient was awoman, 38 years of age, suffering from inflammation of theleft middle ear, which she said had come on after influenza." Paracentesis of the tympanum had been performed withoutsuccess and the suppuration and fever continued so that theradical mastoid operation became necessary. In the courseof the operation it was found that the anterior wall of thelateral sinus was covered with granulations and that therewas pus between the sinus and the bone. In the removal ofthe diseased bone the sinus was fully exposed to view asfar as the jugular foramen and the base of the petrousbone was removed nearly to the carotid canal. Thefacial nerve was cut through close to the stylo-mastoidforamen and the posterior wall of the cartilaginousportion of the meatus was divided. The large cavitythereby produced was then washed out and drained with

strips of iodoform gauze. The peripheral extremity of thefacial nerve was now exposed as far as the parotid gland,after which, by means of a curved incision, the hypoglossalnerve was brought into view where the digastric muscle goesacross and was traced upwards towards the base of theskull. The peripheral extremity of the facial nerve was thenattached laterally to the trunk of the hypoglossal nerve withtwo fine catgut threads. The wound in the neck was suturedand primary union followed. After the operation therewere complete paresis of the left facial nerve and partialparalysis of the left hypoglossal nerve ; the tongue whenprotruded showed a slight deviation to the left and therewas also some difficulty in swallowing. The operation wasperformed by Professor Körte on Dec. 20th, 1901, and onFeb. 3rd, 1902, Professor Bernhardt found that the left facialnerve remained completely paralysed, that with the inducedelectric current there was no reaction in the area supplied bythe left facial and hypoglossal nerves, but that with thebattery current there was a retarded closing contraction."There were, in fact, the typical reactions of degeneration.The deviation of the tongue towards the left and the

atrophy of its left side were still obvious. Electricity (con-stant current) was then applied daily but without apparentresult until June 18th, when Professor Bernhardt for the firsttime observed traces of return of movement in the musclesof the left corner of the mouth. In the beginning ofDecember the reaction of degeneration had disappeared butthe reaction to both the battery current and the inducedcurrent was only slight. When the patient tried to moveher tongue the facial muscles participated in the movementof the tongue and viee versâ. There still remained some

paresis of the facial muscles on the left side, but voluntarymovement of the left corner of the mouth and of the tonguewas possible. The case showed that the power of coordinatemovement might be restored after nerve-grafting. Similarresults have already been obtained by Manasse and by Dr.Robert Kennedy of Glasgow,l both of whom united thefacial nerve and the spinal accessory. It is of physiologicalinterest to observe that in the above cases the hypoglossalcentre or the spinal accessory centre became competent to

supply the innervation of the facial muscles which had

previously been supplied by a quite different centre.Sanitation in Health Resorts.

The Prussian Minister of Public Instruction in his capacityof chief of the Government medical department has issuedregulations relative to the sanitary arrangements of healthresorts and spas. Every health resort in which, or in the

vicinity of which, there is no hospital must provide accom-modation for the temporary isolation of persons sufferingfrom infectious diseases and must also provide a place suit-able for the reception of the bodies of patients who may die.Apparatus for disinfection is kept in the more importanthealth resorts but will now have to be provided by the.smaller ones as well. For the latter disinfection bymeans of formalin is recommended on account ofthe necessary apparatus being moderate in price andeasy to manage. The work of disinfection must be done-by a public official and in places where such an appoint-ment has not yet been made the Minister recommendsthat a suitable person should receive instruction in the dutiesfree of charge in the hygienic institution under the controlof a university or a province. In health resorts disinfectionmust be carried out not only in the cases in which the lawalready requires it-as, for instance, in scarlet fever, diph-theria, small-pox, and enteric fever-but also in pulmonarytuberculosis. Spittoons are to be provided in public placesand buildings and notices are to be displayed requestingpersons to refrain from spitting on the floor. Arrangementsare also to be made for rendering first aid in accidents ;.moreover at seaside resorts the necessary requisites for the-resuscitation of cases of apparent drowning are to beprovided.May 18th.

AUSTRALIA.(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

The Plaque.THE bubonic plague seems to be dying out in all the-

States. A case occurred at Geraldton, West Australia, onboard a steamer from Singapore and was diagnosed as

fever. On arrival at Fremantle the case was pronouncedto be one of plague and the vebssel was quarantined. Noother case has occurred. Rats examined at Brisbane havebeen found to be infected with plague. Rigid precautionsare still taken by the health authorities in all the States to-prevent the introduction of the disease and to insure cleanli-ness and destruction of rats.

Typhoid Fever.Typhoid fever has been prevalent in some parts of New

South Wales, especially Coonamble and Balmain. 135.patients in the Coonamble Hospital are affected with typhoidfever. At Balmain it was proposed that the aldermen them-selves should make a house-to-house inspection as the sani-tary inspectors were too busy.

Lunaey Administration in Victoria.In reply to questions in the Legislative Assembly of

Victoria the Chief Secretary recently stated that the-Victorian asylums had fewer medical officers than the NewYork State asylums, but the position of many of theAmerican officers was very junior and they were paid lowrates of salary. The English asylums had about the sameproportion of medical staff as Victoria, but in the former placethe medical superintendents were paid very much morethan in the latter. A slightly larger number of attendantswas allowed in America than in Victoria and the questionof providing an adequate staff for the asylums was nowunder the notice of the Public Service Commissioner. The

training of the attendants was in the hands of the medicalstaff and there was a probationary service of 12 months,during any portion of which time inefficient employes mightbe removed. As there were very few applicants for the

position of junior medical officer it would appear that themedical staff was underpaid or that some other drawbackexisted, as the juniors actually got more pay than in Englandor America. Mechanical restraint of patients had in the past.been much resorted to, but for the past three years specialattention had been given to its reduction. Arrangementshad been made for trained female nurses in the male hos-pitals, but at present the male hospitals at Kew and Yarra.

Bend were in charge of men who were there for some

years and who were specially appointed as being suitable.Subsequently a deputation from the Medical Society ofVictoria waited on the Chief Secretary and urged the neces-sity for immediate and extensive reform in the treatmentof the insane in Victoria. The president, Mr. R. HamiltonRussell, stated that the Medical Society of Victoria re-

garded it as established that the present asylums inVictoria were lamentably behind the times in many funda-mental respects, that there was pressing need for thebetter treatment of early and doubtful cases of insanity,and that there was an urgent necessity for suitable pro-vision for insane patients whose relatives were able tocontribute at higher rates of maintenance as distinct fromthe large number who by reason of their poverty werelegitimate objects of State charity. There was also seriousovercrowding, the ill-effects of which were aggravated bystructural unfitness and insanitation. The staff, both medicaland general, was inadequate and was subject to no propermode of selection, training, and promotion. This defect wasfurther aggravated by the fact that promotion in all classeswent by the rigid rule of seniority, irrespectively of efficiency,and that officials once installed were practically irremove-able. The society believed that the present regrettable con-dition of affairs would continue so long as responsibilitywas divided, as it was at present, between inspector, UnderSecretary, Chief Secretary, and Public Service Commissioner.The remedy was to place the entire control of all asylumsin the hands of a lunacy board of three which shouldcomprise the inspector and the Master in Lunacy, with athird member. For the better treatment of early anddoubtful cases of insanity the establishment of a receivinghouse was essential. It was also considered that there wasurgent need for enabling patients who were in a position topay higher rates of maintenance to be treated in institutionsother than those devoted to the cure of the legitimateobjects of State charity. Until the Government saw its

way to establish an institution for this purpose the societysuggested the legalisation of properly licensed privateinstitutions. Professor H. B. Allen said that of every 1000persons in Australasian asylums 580 were relieved from theirinfirmity only by death. The other 420 were curable, butthe deputation believed that the conditions obtaining inVictorian asylums were not conducive to cure. In reply theChief Secretary said he did not think that trained attendantswere necessary or that those in the Victorian asylums wereincompetent. He approved of the establishment of a receivinghouse and a sum of money had been voted by Parliament forthe purpose and a site had been selected at the Royal Park.He also thought that power should be given to the Govern-ment to license asylums under private supervision.

Proposed Hospitals for Consumption.Last year the Government of New South Wales proposed

to establish a hospital for consumption at Khuring-gai Chase,near Hornsby. The residents strenuously objected and theproposal was dropped. It has been recently revived and theresidents have held an indignation meeting and arrangedfor a monster deputation to the Premier objecting to the

proposal to establish a hospital to accommodate 300 in-curable cases of consumption on a site of only 50 acres,close to a large population, while other and better sites wereavailable.—Alderman Dr. W. camac Wilkinson at a recent

meeting of the Sydney city council secured the referenceto the proper officers of the council of the question of thepower of the council to expend money for the preventionof the spread of consumption, and on the cost of a site andof the erection of a dispensary for the treatment of con-sumptive cases. His suggestion was for the establishmentby the council of such an institution in the city. Such anestablishment would, he contended, be the first link in achain, as it would lead to voluntary notification, whichwould be followed by instruction to the sufferers and theirfriends and in turn by inspection and disinfection ofpremises.

Medical Women and Hospital Appointments.A deputation from the Progressive Women’s Association

recently waited on the President of the Board of Health ofNew South Wales to request that medical women should beappointed in all public institutions. The President repliedthat he had appointed a medical woman at the Coast

hospital, the only institution over which he had control.P,rese,rvatives in Food.

-

The duty of regulating the use of preservatives in food is

laid upon the Board of Health by the Public Health Act ofNew South Wales and the question has been under con-sideration for some time. Regulations have now been pub-lished dealing with the matter. The substances which areregarded as preservatives are formic aldehyde, boric acid,bydrofluoric acid, sulphurous acid, benzoic acid, and salicylicacid. This list will be added to from time to time. Four ofthese substances which may be used are given and the pro-portions in excess of which they may not be used are fixed.The proportion is per pint of liquid or per pound of solidfood and the quantity is as follows : sulphurous acid, 1 3/4grains ; salicylic acid, 1 grain ; benzoic acid, 1 grain ; and boricacid, 10 grains. In regard to sulphurous acid and its pre-parations, it is provided that it may not be used with milkand its products, canned and bottled foods, fruits and theirproducts (such as jams, &c.), temperance drinks, fresh fish,pickles, and condiments. It may be mixed in the specifiedproportion or less with beer in all forms and with flesh foodsin general. In a similar way the regulation deals withsalicylic acid and with benzoic acid, but the list of exceptedfoods with which these bodies may not be mixed is more

comprehensive. They are forbidden in all the articles men-tioned, also in preserved fish, all flesh foods, and in beer,cider, and perry as well. Boric acid is forbidden in milkand in cream intended for use as such, but no reference ismade in regard to its use in milk and cream in course ofmanufacture into butter, and it is permitted in bacon andham and in preserved fish. Boric acid in butter is allowedin proportions not exceeding 35 grains per pound.

Hospital Affairs.The annual report of the Children’s Hospital, Sydney,

presented to the twenty-third annual meeting of governors,stated that 560 patients were admitted during the year to thegeneral hospital and that there were 44 remaining from theprevious year. Of these 394 were discharged cured, 70 wererelieved, 35 were unrelieved, and 63 died. There were 177admitted to the diphtheria hospital and of them 143 werecured and 23 died. The out-patients numbered 3525,whose attendances were 15,638. Compared with the pre-vious year there was an increase of 68 patients treated inthe general hospital. The death-rate was 10’4 per cent.,as against 11. 1 per cent. last year. In the diphtheria branchthere was a decrease of 14, while the death-rate was 12’ 02per cent., as against 18. 8 per cent. in the previous year.-Under instructions from the Victorian Under Treasurer animportant circular has been issued to the committees of hos-pitals throughout the State, pointing out that the onlypersons eligible for treatment in hospitals subsidised by theState are :-1. Those who are entirely destitute. 2. Thosewho are unable to pay the ordinary medical fees but who arein a position to contribute towards their maintenance whilein the institution. 3. Accident cases, which are alwaysadmissible. Under the provisions of the ticket, therefore,no person (except in cases of accident) who is not in aposition to sign one or other of the declarations to the ticketmust be admitted for treatment. Under the prescribedticket the committee of management or some officer deputedby it for the purpose is required to examine the circum-stances of each applicant for admission and, where necessary,to fix the amount of contribution. For the general guidanceof the committee of management it is laid down that whereit is found that the circumstances of an applicant under thedeclaration of "ability to contribute warrant a contribu-tion of more than £1 per week being imposed, specialinquiries as to whether such applicant is a suitable objectfor charity should be instituted and precautions taken thatno one who can pay the ordinary medical fees shall beadmitted for treatment.-During a terrific storm at Towns-ville, Queensland, the hospital was seriously wrecked. Mr.W. R. Bacot succeeded in removing most of the patients,but five were killed and three persons were seriously injured,including a nurse.

Unregistered Practitioner Fined.At the Newtown police-court A. M. Keighley was charged

with using words implying that he was a legally qualifiedmedical practitioner. The defendant stated that he held adiploma (produced) from the College of Ohio which entitledhim to practise in any part of America. In September, 1899,at the court of quarter sessions at Newcastle he was calledas an expert medical witness on behalf of the Crown. Hehad seen the diploma of Charles Ebdon Crommelin referredto in a copy of the Register. It was issued by the sameCollege. Defendant said he went through the Cincinnati

1488 AUSTRALIA.-MEDICAL NEWS.

College of Medicine for a regular course and was dulyexamined and upon that examination he got the diploma.He was gazetted in the Cincinnati Times. Previously to thathe studied for nine months at the London Hospital School ofMedicine and was for 15 months at the Hospice du SacréCoeur in France and was also for 12 months in a hospital atBombay. He served six and a half years in broken periodsin the study of medicine before receiving the diploma.On Jan. llth, 1901, he was charged at the Lambton police-court with a breach of the Medical Practitioners Act andwas fined f:50, but it was afterwards reduced to f:1O. Hehad made applications for registration in 1901 and 1902which were refused. Having given some details of hismedical studies the defendant said that at the second trialat Maitland in 1901 he produced the diploma and thejury acquitted him. In reply to the bench he said that thediploma was not in the same state now as when he receivedit. He had had it framed and the seals had been eaten by .silver fish. There had been lettering on the seals. The

magistrate was not satisfied that the defendant was entitledto be registered and inflicted a fine of E50 or in defaultfour months’ hard labour.

United Friendly Societies’ Dispensary, Sydney.The new buildings for the Sydney United Friendly

Societies’ Dispensary were officially opened by the Premieron March llth. The building is of brick, three storeys high,and cost about f:2000. Some time ago the societies were

compelled by the rapid growth of the work to seek fresh

quarters. Parliament voted .61000 to assist in the purchaseof a site and the societies interested took up debentures for

nearly the whole of the balance, the institute paying interestat the rate of 6 per cent. There are branches of the institu-tion at Woollahra and Redfern. As showing the work doneit may be mentioned that there are 110 lodges interested inthe institute, which dispenses for 9450 members and theirwives and families, and that often 500 prescriptions are

dispensed in one day.Action against a Medical Man ; alleged Negligence.

An action was brought against Dr. L. G. Davidson ofBalmain in the Sydney District Court on March 24th.Damages were laid at .6100. The plaintiff, an old lady whohad a wound on the side of her head, complained that shehad been improperly treated by medicines containingmercury. The jury returned a verdict in favour of thedefendant.April llth.
