Notes, Short Comments, and Answers to Correspondents. HEALTH OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS. IN his report for 1912-13, just received at the Colonial Office, the Governor (Sir H. Hesketh Bell, K.C.M.G.) states that the year under review was fortunately free from all atmo- spheric disturbances, and was only marred by an inade- quate rainfall. The general health of the population was good, though much still remains to be done for the im- provement of sanitary conditions among the labouring classes. The preponderance of females is very marked in all the islands, the males numbering only 55,000, as com- pared with 72,000 of the other sex. At the Census of 1911 the population stood as follows : Antigua, 31,394; Barbuda, 871 ; St. Kitts, 26,283; Nevis, 12,945 ; Anguilla, 4075; Dominica, 33,863 ; Montserrat, 12,196 ; Redonda, 4 ; Virgin Islands, 5562 ; total, 127,193. In the year 1912 2557 patients (as against 2636 for the previous year) were admitted into the hospitals of the colony, and there were 384 deaths, as against 348 for 1911. There are two leper asylums in the colony-one at Rat Island, in Antigua, and the other at Fort Charles, in St. Kitts. In the former there were 33 lepers (15 males and 18 females) at the beginning of the year; 1 male and 2 females were admitted during the year, and 3 females died. There is no record in Antigua of any attendant at the asylum having contracted leprosy. The Alexandra Cottage Home for Incurables in Dominica, sup- ported partly by voluntary contributions, maintained on an average 10 paupers. , Mr. T. L. Roxburgh, C.M.G., Administrator of St. Kitts and Nevis, reports that the birth-rate was 38’46 and the death-rate 22-38 per 1000. Of the patients treated in the hospital 18 suffered from malarial fever and 56 from yaws. Mr. Roxburgh adds : " The general health of the popula- tion was well maintained during the year, but there is still an excessive mortality among infants notwithstand- ing all efforts that have been made to instruct parents in the proper care of their children. For those-Europeans or natives-who are willing to regard the elementary laws of hygiene the islands are as healthy as any part of the world, and the climate in the cooler months is delightful." Mr. Leslie Jarvis, Acting Commissioner of Montserrat, gives the birth-rate there as 33’03 and the death-rate as 13-97 per 1000 ; and in the Virgin Islands, according to Mr. T. L. E. Clarke, M.D., C.M., Acting Commissioner, the birth-rate was 38 and the death-rate 17 per 1000. THE MILWARD FUND. To the Editor of THE LANCET.

A man who enjoyed locally a reputation for knowingness had advised him that they would do a world of good if he could " get them down," because, as he lucidly explained, they would clear away the " bad distempers from the inside."

A CATALOGUE issued by Mr. Skeffington, of Ulundi-road, Blackheath, S.E., illustrates several of his useful con- trivances, some of which are in use in our various hos- pitals and institutions, for dealing with invalids who are compelled to adopt a recumbent position. The invalid lifters are made in several types, and by their means, amongst other advantages, a patient can be prevented from slipping down towards the foot of the bed, thereby avoiding the difficulty, especially with a heavy patient, of getting him back again into a comfortable position ; an invalid can be raised into a sitting posture, and there maintained, without exertion on his part or on the part of the nurse or attendant, for any period desired; a patient can be lifted, as on a hammock, bodily above the bed, so tnat the bed can be re-made underneath or a bed-pan be placed in position ; a soiled sheet can be changed without
