BODIE.- SPECIAL NOTICE.-On SUNDAY NEXT, Oct. 14. 1906. a LECTURE and Demonstration will be given by this well-known exponent of BLOODLESS SURGERY, Dr. WALFORD BODIE, M.D.C.M. U.S.A., F.R.M.S. London, entitled, "WHAT IS A MIRACLE?" Hypnotism v. Scientific Medicine, Christian Scientists v. The Peculiar People. The whole of the proceeds will be given to the Waterloo Hospital for Women and Children, and will be under the patronage of the leading Professors. Doctors, and Clergy of London. On this special occasion Dr. Walford Bodie will introduce many of his London cures and will endeavour to illus- trate and demonstrate "A MODERN MIRACLE." Prices of admission: Fauteuils, Is.; pit and balcony, 6d. Doors open at seven o’clock. Commence 7.30 prompt. Carriages may be ordered at nine o’clock. We learn that the authorities of the Waterloo Hospital for Women and Children are no parties to these proceedings, and that any hospital should consent to take money gained by the performances of a swindling quack we cannot believe. It will be remembered that it was proved in court that one of "Dr." Walford Bodie’s "cures" was a man who pretended to be ill and pretended to be cured. We refer the authorities of the Waterloo Hospital to what we said about Bodie in THE LANCET of August llth, 1906, p. 415, and May 26th, 1906, p. 1512. As for the performance being under the patronage of the " leading professors, doctors, and clergy in London " that we take to be simply an untruth. THE FEES OF A LOCUM TENENT. To the Editors of THE LANCET. SIRS,—A short time ago I acted as locum for A who went away. Another doctor, B, in the same town asked me to do a post mortem. I did this and gave evidence. Later, B handed me a guinea, saying that he wished me to have it. Since then I disagreed with B about other matters and now A writes to say that he (A) should have the guinea. I shall be interested to read your view of the matter if you will be so kind as to give an opinion. I am, Sirs, yours faithfully, Oct. 5th. 1906. SURPRISED. We are ignorant of the terms of the contract under which " Sur- prised " undertook to fill A’s place. As a rule, a locum-tenent gets so much per week and all fees which he earns during his locum-tenency are taken by the practitioner whose deputy he is.-ED. L. OMNE IGNOTUM PRO MAGNIFICO. To the Editors of THE LANCET. SIRS,-I wonder if I should be trespassing upon your valuable space in narrating an event which happened to me to-day? I met and recognised a woman in the street who some years ago was an in-patient at a metropolitan hospital of which I was a resident. I asked her after her health and she told me she was suffering from heart disease. I interrogated her as to whether she had sought advice. She answered in the affirmative and stated that she had been to the same hospital where she had been an in-patient. Upon being asked whether the doctor had told her she had heart disease she answered in the negative. I asked her accordingly how she knew. She said she read it in her out- patient book but had never heard of the disease and did not know how to pronounce it. I told her to spell it and she slowly spelled out the fateful words-Heart: Nil. I am, Sirs, yours faithfully, Oct. 8th, 1906. B. H. C. THE INADEQUACY OF THE TELEPHONE SERVICE. To the Editors of THE LANCET. SIRS,-Now that the telephone service has been thoroughly (although very belatedly) installed in London and has been in work some years the public might reasonably expect a fairly efficient service. What do the public, however, usually receive for a very highly charged service ? It is generally a work of considerable time, if indeed it is accom- plished at all, to get through from one exchange to a subscriber on another. It is beyond doubt that to get through from a post office exchange to a subscriber on a Gerrard (which is a National Telephone exchange) is almost hopeless; at least, that is my experience after numerous complaints to the authorities, and the only means is to ring up the clerk in charge. This costs two fees instead of one. It may be the inadequacy in the number of exchange lines or the preoccupied time of the young lady at the exchange. This is not, perhaps, of vital consequence (beyond loss of temper), excepting in cases of serious illness ; then in the interests of the community the call should become next in precedence to a fire call. I would humbly offer these suggestio to the authorities-that some distinct call should be used in ringing up either to or by a doctor and that in these cases the young ladies at the exchange should be requested to get the call through with expedition. I am, Sirs, yours faithfully, Oct. 5th, 1906. A GENERAL PRACTITIONER.
