age, his morals, and his money; and that it had pleased himto indulge in this piece of irony for the purpose of provokingraillery and ridicule against those with whom he had for theoccasion claimed identity-the more effectively by his "air ofinjured innocence." Rather would I believe this to be themore correct interpretation of the author’s motives; though Imust confess that I do not sympathise with either.

I regard the fellows of the college who have gained theirrank only by a critical examination with feelings of genuinerespect and admiration; because I know that for the greaterpart they are comparatively young men, of practised under-standing and of extensive and accurate knowledge, who havereceived a liberal education, and who are imbued with an en-thusiastic love of science and learning. They have labouredhonourably for their distinction, not with a view to vulgarrepute, nor yet to separate themselves to any individual branchof professional practice. They have been ambitious only ofobtaining an honour which should signalize their deserts, andsecure to them the laud and esteem of those who might betruly considered competent to judge them. With many ofthem, no doubt, this was the incentive to arduous and pro- i,tracted studies, and expenditure of time and resources. Butothers entered upon the course as a task voluntarily under-taken for their own mental correction and discipline; andwith these the climax of their aspirations does not rest qui-escently upon their "degree :" its attainment has not whollyexhausted their capabilities.And what if all had sought, in the prosecution of their

designs, those adventitious aids offered alike to students inevery profession, and not accepted in their own by themselvesalone? Is that a reason why their own native talent, earlyeducation, industry and resolution should be undervalued andaffected to be despised ? Amongst this class the fellowshipought not to be considered the reward, but the insignia, ofintellectual worth. What it is amongst the others, it wouldbe disrespectful to the majority to siy !

I am, Sir, yours very respectfully,Welsh Pool, July, 1857.

THE QUACK SYSTEM.To the Editor of THE LANCET.

SIR,-In consequence of your giving place to a letter of minein THE LANCET of last week, I have had very many appli-cations, both personal and by letter, from leading members ofthe profession. All appear desirous of suppressing this growingevil, which, as you correctly observe, punishes both the healthand pockets of the credulous public. I have had many in-

quiries as to when the question at issue will be disposed of. £

Perhaps you will be good enough to intimate to the interested,that the trial will take place on the 30th instant; and any in-formation your readers can supply me with must be forwardeda day or two earlier than that period.

I am, Sir, yours very obediently,Bolton House, Russell-square, BOWEN MAY.

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION AND ASSURANCEOFFICES.

1’0 the E(lito2- of THE LANCET.SIR,-As the medical profession and life assurance offices

are so constantly at variance with respect to the fees,-oneor two offices paying two guineas, others one guinea, halfa guinea, and some no fees,-would it not be most advan-tageous to the public as well as the profession if a uniformcharge was demanded and insisted on ? Why should a

medical man be called on to give his time and examine apatient, as is now required, with the stethoscope, and returnhis answers, merely for the satisfaction of the office, for anyfee less than one guinea? It is perfectly indifferent to theprofession whether the life is insured for X50 or £ 500; the sametime, exauiination, &c., must be given in every case. I willgive an instance :-The agent for the Standard Life Office at Barnstaple, Mr.

Guppy, of the National Provincial Bank of England, sent me afew weeks since a report, with the various questions for me toanswer, for a Mr. G-, a patient of mine, who intended toinsure his life in that office. As the sum was under £ 500, thefee was to be half a guinea. I therefore wrote to him, and toldhim my fee was one guinea, which brought an answer fromhim, stating he was sorry to inform me that they, the said office,could not depart from their rules as to medical fees ; that theoffice would pay 10s. 6d., and the assurer must pay as much

more, or the case could not go on with them; and he furtherstated that he had never known an instance of a medical manrefusing a report to a patient, and much regretted I shouldhave taken this course. My answer to this was, that as theoffice could not depart from their rules as to medical fees,neither could nor would I depart from mine, and that Irefused to take the half from the assurer, feeling that theoffice were the only parties who ought to pay. As to hisnever having heard of a medical man refusing a reportto a patient, I considered his information on that subjectmust be very superficial. if he would apply to the pagesof THE LANCET for a series of years past, he would there find asufficient number of cases to convince him to the contrary. Isaw the proposer, Mr. G-, yesterday, and he told me hadheard from Mr. Guppy, and he advised him to come into Barn-staple, and their own medical adviser would examine him.

Verily we have a shabby set to deal with in many of theseoffices, and I fear there are many black sheep in our own fiock.Would it not be advisable to publish (as was done a few years ago)a list annually of the different offices, stating the fees paid ’byeach of them. The profession would then at once see those theyshould encourage. I was last year beset by two or three per-sons travelling about as agents for different companies, endea-vouring to induce parties to insure their lives, and they appliedto me to answer their questions for a fee of 10s. 6d. each, whichI refused. I remain, Sir, yours very truly,Lynton, June 25,1857. J. CLARKE, M.R.C.S.J. CLARKE, M.R.C.S.

THE MARSHALL HALL METHOD OF TREAT-MENT IN ASPHYXIA.

To the Editor of THE LANCET.

SIR,-It affords me the greatest happiness to be able toforward a successful case under Dr. Marshall Hall’s treatmentfor asphyxia, and should you consider it worthy of a place inyour invaluable journal, I shall esteem its insertion a favour.Un the 1Oth instant, at eleven p.az., I was requested to

attend a labour of a first child. Upon examination, I foundthe parts well dilated, the pains firm and constant, but thefcetus very high up, and I thought a straightforward presenta-tion. Knowing the old adage, " Pttience is a virtue," I re-mained without the slightest progress till half-past twelveo’clock. for the safety of my patient, when, expecting there wassome impingement, I made a more minute examination. Byintroducing the hand, I found a face presentation, and at oncedetermined upon turning, which was not accomplished withthat facility I could have wished, owing to the liquor amniihaving escaped some time. The feet were brought down, andevery pain told well till the expulsion of the head, which re-mained fixed for some considerable time, and when expelled,the foetus was apparently lifeless, much congested about theface, and the whole of the lower extremities perfectly cold andflaccid. I at once set to work under the guidance of the ruleslaid down for the " Ready method," and, to my greatest grati-fication, I witnessed in less than one hour a kind of mus.cular gulp, at intervals of three or four minutes; I then heard

, a faint cry, and lastly a thrilling one. The whole was com-

pleted in little more than one hour, and I cannot help sensiblyfeeling that my little patient is truly indebted for its life toDr. Marshall Hall. Those present in the room made curiousobservations : " It can’t recover;" " It’s a dying;" but the lastamused the most, " Lor, Sir ! it opens his eyes."

F I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,Globe-road, Mile-end, June, 1857. FREDERICK JA3,lr.S r,,EILLY.FREDERICK JAMES REILLY.

(Dr. Mayo) and fellows of this institution issued cards of invi-tation to a conversazione on Saturday, July 11 th, when a nume-rous assemblage thronged the library and suite of rooms of theCollege. Amongst the company were some of the most emi-nent men of the day in the various departments of the liberalprofessions. There were present-Lord Campbell, Lord Wens-leydale, Sir Richard Kindersley, Vice-Chancellor; Sir John ’,

Stuart, Vice -Chancellor; Mr. Grove, Q.C.; Sir Henzy Ellis,K.H. ; Sir Joshua Rowe, K.C. B. ; Professors Willis, Solly,Stephens, and Wheatstone; General Sir Frederick Smith,M.P.; Mr. Gladstone, M.P.; Mr. Russell, M.P.; Mr. Ayrton,M.P.; Mr. Grogan, M.P.; Mr. Briscoe, M.P.; Mr. Hope,M.P. ; Mr. Gregson, M.P.; Mr. Ingham, M.P. ; Mr. Tite,M.P.; Mr. Locke, M.P.; the Rev.

S., Partridge, F.R.C.S., De Grave, Osborne, Smith,Wordsworth, Smythe, Lonsdale, Joseph Wilks, Charles Manby,Fergusson, Every, Spencer Smith, Jacob Bell, &c. Crowdedas were the rooms, yet there was no embarrassment to one’smovements, for, by a natural attraction, the company soonbecame arranged into little groups, and occupied in discussingphilosophical, professional, or political topics, according as theirtastes and predilections inclined them. Several ancient and

rare volumes with which it is known the library of the Collegeis richly supplied were placed on the tables. Some exquisitelyexecuted photographs of the interior of the Manchester ArtsExhibition, by De la Motte, were much admired, and theastonishing powers of the microscope were displayed in drawingforth the secrets of the spider’s claw, the proboscis of the blow-fly, and other wonders of creation hidden from the unaidedvision. The geological restorations at the Crystal Palace werereproduced on a diminished scale; but the objects whichappeared to attract most attention were some very small her-metically-closed glass cases containing every variety of prepa-ration of arsenic, cocculus indicus, and other subtle substances,which, seen through the microscope, presented the most won-derful configurations. The refreshments were abundant, andthe pleasures of the evening were protracted to a late hour, it

being nearly twelve o’clock before the whole of the companyhad departed.

MEDICAL REFORM.-On Monday last, a deputationof St. Andrews’ graduates, consisting of Drs. Tripe, Dobell,Paul Newnham, Helsham, (of Chichester,) and B. W. Richard-son, had an interview with Mr. Headlam in reference to thefifth clause of his Bill. The deputation explained that thegraduates of St. Andrews had a strong feeling that their Uni-versity ought to have an independent representative in theCouncil of Registration should the Bill become law. The

speakers described the first-class character of the examinationfor M.D., the great numerical strength of the graduates, andthe unfairness of giving to certain bodies, such as the Apothe-caries’ Company of Dublin, a separate representative, and onlya third of a representative to their University. Mr. Headlam,in reply, said that his Bill was withdrawn for this session, butthat he would be happy to see the deputation again at the endof the year, and would give his best consideration to any planthey should propose.OPENING OF THE CHAPEL OF THE ROYAL MEDICAL

BENEVOLENT COLLEGE, EPSOM. -On Tuesday morning thischapel, belonging to the Royal Medical Benevolent College,Epsom, was opened by the Bishop of Winchester. A verylarge number of ladies and gentlemen from London were pre-sent on the occasion. The services were exceedingly inte-resting ; and the sermon, which the Right Rev. Prelate preachedon the occasion, was deeply impressive. Afterwards, theRight Rev. Prelate-Lord Manvers in the chair, and theschool-room crowded with a fashionable audience-presentedthe prizes to the successful students of the past year. Soonafter the conclusion of the distribution of the prizes, from 150to 200 ladies and gentlemen sat down in the dining-room to anexcellent déjeûner provided for the occasion. Lord Manversagain occupied the chair, and was snpported by Lord Dynevorand the Bishop of Winchester. There was a large attendanceof medical gentlemen. Various loyal and social toasts weregiven, and drunk with great cordiality.-The Bishop of Win-chester, in returning thanks for his health being drunk, eulo-gized in the warmest terms Mr. John Propert, the benevolentfounder of the institution. The warm admiration of Mr. Pro-

pert’s benevolence, intelligence, energy, and unwearied exer-tions in founding the Medical College at Epsom, expressed bythe Right Rev. Prelate, was enthusiastically responded to bythe company; as were also the no less eulogistic observationswhich were made by Archdeacon Robinson, when he proposed,in a speech of great eloquence and feeling, the health of Mr.Propert.-After spending a delightful afternoon, a concert wasgiven in the evening, which concluded the enjoyments of theday.TESTIMONIAL TO H. MUNROE, M.D., M.R.C.S.-On

Tuesday evening, the 7th inst., a full meeting of the membersof the Good Intent Lodge, M.U., took place in the OddFellows’ Hall, Lowgate, for the purpose of presenting theirmedical officer with a testimonial for the many services he hasrendered them during the last ten years. The officers of theHull district were present, and took part in the proceedings.Brother Hill, P.G., on the part of himself and brothers of hislodge, in a very appropriate and highly complimentary speech,presented Mr. Munroe with an elegantly-chased silver teapot,on which was engraved the following: -" Presented by themembers of the Good Intent Lodge, M.U., to Brother HenryMtinroe, Esq., M. D., M. R. C. S., &c., as a mark of their esteemand high appreciation of his professional services to the lodgeduring a period of ten years. Hull, July 7th, 1857." Mr.Munroe replied at some length in a very courteous speech,and, amidst applause, thanked them for their valuable testi-monial.

APPOINTMENTS.-At a, meeting of the committee of theLiverpool Southern Hospital, held on June 25th, Mr. J. J.Pope, M.R.C.S., L.A.C., L. M., was unanimously electedsenior house-surgeon to that iustitution.--George Welford,Esq., was unanimously elected (July 2nd) surgeon to theSunderland Infirmary, a vacancy having occurred by the re-signation of W. Mordey, Esq., M. R. C. S.E., senior surgeon.A DANGEROUS NUISANCE.-On Saturday, the Ilth

instant, at the Central Criminal Court, William Burgess wascharged with carrying on a trade whereby a nuisance, danger-ous to life, was created. The accused carried on, in the Blue

Anchor-road, Bermondsey, works for the manufacture of che-mical manure. The manufacture was carried on by boilingdown bones and the various refuse of slaughter-houses andknackers’-yards, and afterwards mixing it up with sulphuricacid and gas refuse, thus producing the most noxious vapours,which destroyed the vegetation and fruit trees in the imme-

75

diate vicinity of the premises. It was also alleged, that sooffensive was the stench, that great sickness was the resultthroughout the immediate vicinity. The jury acquitted theaccused upon two counts, but found him guilty on a charge ofkeeping a large quantity of noxious and refuse matter uponthe premises. Defendant was ordered to enter into his ownrecognizances to come up for judgment when called upon, withthe understanding that if the nuisance complained of wasabated, no further proceedings would be taken.NEW MEDICAL PERIODICAL, PUBLISHED IN FRENCH;

AT CONSTANTINOPLE.--Wc have received several numbers.ofthe Gazette Medicale d’Orient, written in French, and contain-ing some trticles of interest. This journal appears once a month,and is published by the Imperial Medical Society of Constan.tinople. In the first number is a clever "feuilletoo," (a lightlywritten composition, which accompanies nearly all Frenchmedical journals, in which subjects more or less remotely con-nected with medicine are treated in a familiar manner, with atendency to humour and wit,) on the unbounded freedom withwhich any one may practise medicine in the Ottoman empire.A parallel is sketched, in this respect, between Turkey andEngland, in which latter country the author says that no kindof restraint exists as to the practice of the healing art. Wewish our contemporary much success. On glancing at the listof members of the society, we find, amongst the subscribingmembers a few English names, as Edwards, Foote, Macarthy,&c.; on the list of honorary members are Mr. Lawrence, andDrs. Simpson and Stokes ; amongst the corresponding mem-bers, Drs. Bryce, Lawson, Little, Woollaston, &c.

VERDICT AGAINST A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER IN FRANCE.- L’ Union Médicale states, that Dr. Pierre Fabre, 65 years ofage, who for a long time has acted with mesmeric pretenders,has just been sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment, (minimumof punishment, on account of extenuating circumstances,) forhaving used violent and guilty means to procure abortion, the mother having subsequently died. It was found, on a post-mortem examination that the uterus had been perforated.HONORARY DIPLOMA.—The Imperial Society of Phy-

sicians of Vienna, in full assembly, under the presidency ofProfessor Rokitansky, has conferred on Dr. Black, of Chester-field, the diploma of Corresponding Fellow, as a mark of theestimation in which his microscopical researches into the patho-logy of the pulmonary mucous membrane are held by that dis-tinguished and scientific body.ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.-An honorary silver medal

was awarded at the last meeting of this Society to Mr. ErasmusWilson, for his gallant conduct in saving a woman from drown-ing in the Regent’s Canal.COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, BASIImGHALL-STREET, JULY

l3th,-(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)-IN RE DR. E.B. BoWMAN. -This was a disputed adjudication meeting. Thecase, which involved a point of some nicety and importance asto trading, occupied the Court several hours. The proceedingswill be best understood in the form of a descriptive summary :-Dr. Bowman, of Highbury and Dalston, has an Edinburghcertificate to practise as a physician; he has also a certificateas a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. He is not,however, a member of Apothecaries’ Hall. In conjunctionwith’Mr. Francis Norton Erith, Mr. Gibbons, Mr. Muckleston,Mr. Ball, Mr. Oram, and the Rev. Mr. Galloway, Dr. Bow-man became a director of the Constitution Life Assurance Com-

pany, Mr. Digby being the solicitor. Mr. Palmer lent thedirectors jointly and severally a snm of .6500, for the purposesof the Company. Mr. Palmer opened a petition in bankruptcy

against Dr. Bowman for this amount, Mr. Digby being solicitorfor the petition. Mr. Lawrence for Dr. Bowman, now dis-puted the adjudication. A physician or surgeon was not atrader in the eyes of the bankruptcy laws, and it was onlyunder the 5th and 6th of Victoria that an apothecary was forthe first time declared to be so. The fact of Dr. Bowmanhaving sent in a bill " for attendance and medicine" was notsufficient evidence of his having acted as an apothecary. Thebill was at the rate of only 3s. 6d. for each visit, and themedicine, although sent by 11 a tiger," had not really beencharged for. It was a remarkable fact, that Mr. Palmerdoubted whether the other directors were able to pay, andthat he should single out Dr. Bowman, the medical referee ofthe Company,, and that Mr. Digby should he the solicitor underthe petition. ’Medical men were, of all others, the most liableto be gulled, and Dr. Bowman’s was not a case in which thelaw ought to be the most strictly viewed. He was not legally

an apothecary, that was admitted, and he confidently sub-mitted that there had been no trading within the statute. TheCommissioner held that Dr. Bowman having practised anddescribed himself as an apothecary, he was estopped fromsetting up the plea that he was not an apothecary.-Adjudi-cation confirmed accordingly.HEALTH: OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK ENDING-

SATURDAY, JULY 11TH.-ln the week that ended on Saturday(July 11 th) the number of deaths registered in London was 988,of which 508 were males, and 480 females. In the ten years1847-56 the average number of deaths in the weeks correspond-ing with last week was 976; but as the deaths of last weekoccurred in an increased population, it is necessary for the pur-pose of comparison to raise the average proportionately to theincrease, in which case it will become 1074. The public healthis therefore so far satisfactory at present, that the deaths nowreturned were less by 86 than the number which would haveoccurred under the average rate of mortality. The birthsregistered last week were in excess of the deaths in the sameperiod by 678. The principal feature in the present return, as.compared with those immediately preceding, is the rapidincrease of diarrhoea, which has begun to prevail with moreforce than has been hitherto observed before the middle ofJuly. Last week ’the deaths from this complaint were morenumerous by 100 than those which occurred in the week thatended June 27th. They were then 33, in the following week65, and last week they rose to 133; the corrected average forten weeks (of 1847-56) corresponding with last week is 53.Of these 133 deaths, so large a proportion as 124 occurred toinfants who had not completed their second year. Nine deathsalso are returned as caused by "cholera infantum," " Englishcholera," and in one case " cholera maligna," all of which, withthe exception of two, occurred to infants; these are indis-criminately referred to " cholera’’ in the tables. It is not outof place to repeat here the observation of the medical officers ofthe D)-eadi?ouf)7tt, that " during the week the Thames watersmelt abominably." There were 7 deaths from small-pox lastweek, which is more than this disease has caused in any weeksince January. The deaths from typhus increased in the lasttwo Week!3 from 34 to 41, whilst on the other hand, hooping-cough declined from 58 to 40, and measles from 25 to 15. Achild died from sucking lucifer matches, and the death of.a,woman, aged sixty-three, was caused by fright from thunder,followed apparently by paralysis.

Obituary.ON the 10th instant, after a short illness, aged 76, Mr. Wm.

Stone, for nearly half a century a faithful servant of the RoyalCollege of Surgeons of England. Mr. Stone fulfilled his dutiesfor that long period in a manner which entitled him to therespect and esteem of all who knew him. He expired at thehouse of his friend, Mr. David Powell, of Amwell-street, Pen-tonville, an old member of the College.
