Medical Diary for the ensuing Week

1046 10.30 p.m.-To bed after a long cycle ride in the teeth of an obstinate north-easter. 11 p.m.-Settle down to sleep after reading a dull political novel. 12 p.m.-An infinitude of bells, clocks, and domestic carillons, enough to awake the Seven Sleepers, pervades the air for 15 minutes. The performance is charming, but unsuited to the midnight hour. Old Tom Paine, the bad, bold unbeliever of the French Revolutionary epoch, cursed bells in a curious pamphlet, and really in this mattet he deserved well of nervous people with brains, who find the attain. ment of sleep no easy matter at any time. 12.30 p.m.-Enormously loud walk-round through all the passage: of the honourable old hotel by Boots,’ a young man whose feet are large and whose boot-soles are certainly more than an inch thick. 12.40.-The writer relights his candle and continues reading dull novel. 12.50.-Ebullient good-byes at a back-door. ’Good-night’is yelled by a voice, See yer termorrer ! Don’t forgit,’ &c., &c. 1,-A motor roars itself into action and there is general conversation by shrill voices. 1.20.-A fiend with boot-soles at least three inches thick proceeds slowly all over the hotel, slamming doors with vigour. The putting out of his boots is a cataclysm in the way of sound. If we had good light, a ciip of tea, some biscuits, papers, pens, and a writing-desk, we would resume our versified translation of Propertius. 1.30.-Seven, yes, seven motors roar by, screaming like banshees or playing half tunes. 2.-The "workers" " come forth. They march by in boots of thickness indescribable. They may be hop-pickers. Immediately under the writer’s window they roar greetings. "’Ullo, Arree," a beast that must be quite familiar to all of them, is repeated again and again. 3.-Clocks, bells, and two howling dogs. We resume our novel and begin to think of all the unpleasant things that in daylight we are able to disregard. Query: Does one look before and after’ as clearly as one might in daylight? 3.15.-Creaking in all the passages. 4.-Early sparrow begins to thunder, for sparrows do thunder in the early morning. 4.30.-Passage of a motor-drawn caravan. 5.-General walk-out of gardeners, milkmen, and others, with loud bangs and clinks. 6.-Loud choruses from industrious people, who do not sympathise with stay-a-beds. Afterwards a short period of insensibility, broken by pungent nightmares. 8 o’clock.-Thundering knock at door. ’Will you ’ave fish for breakfast? We only ’ave kippers !’ (We are only twenty miles from the sea and a flshing fleet. God have mercy upon us !) But the above is no exaggeration. It is a twentieth experience at least. As a recent writer in a lay paper has pointed out, there is reason to believe that inns are living on their reputation, and that their standard of comfort is ancient. It is almost archaic; it is coeval with the days of the Vikings. Whether noise is wholly evil in itself is another question. Dr. Gould of Philadelphia has suggested in a work upon the History of the House,’ vermin must have had a selective influence in the Middle Ages, for the bites of fleas and pediculi must have tended to weed out the nervous and the delicate, who were driven thereby to madness and sometimes self-destruction. And thus the race was strengthened. A fortiori noise must have played an immense role in the Dark Ages in ridding society of weaklings, who fell victims to insomnia just as others did to the irritation of flea-bites." " COLDS " AND CLOTHING. " D.Sc., M.D.," writes that he is aged about 40 years and has always been very sensitive to changes of temperature. Living in the south of England he spends a considerable amount of time in the open air, par- ticularly sailing, and finds in winter always, and often in summer when the day turns cold or wet, that on his return home he feels very cold, chilled’throughout, has some huskiness of the voice or dry condition of the throat, and is very tired and languid. His temperature is then usually subnormal. After sitting over the fire and getting thoroughly warm he feels more comfortable, but nearly always has a restless night and feels cold all the next day. This sensation may pass off without any unpleasant sequel, but is sometimes followed by a tem- perature of 103° F., sore-throat, headache, aching in limbs, and general prostration lasting three or four days, very like an attack of so-called influenza. A night call is nearly always followed by the same languor, chilly feeling, and general malaise the next day. Walking, cycling, or other exercise in the open air when the weather is cold or damp is followed bv similar symptoms, and he has taken to sailing in order to get fresh air without exertion. He would like to have sug- gestions as regards cause, prevention, treatment, and clothing. As there has been a tendency recently to decry woollen and to praise linen and cotton underwear he would be glad to have opinions on this subject. Pharmacy.-We are in accord with much which our correspondent writes, and, indeed, more than one of his sentiments have been at different times freely expressed in our columns. It is the educational course of the student which is largely to blame. Very few students are taught the art of prescribing in any systematic manner.
