ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS OFENGLAND.

ANNUAL MEETING OF FELLOWS AND MEMBERS.THE fifteenth annual meeting of Fellows and Members

was held at the College on Nov. 16th, 1899, at 3 P.M., thesenior Vice-President, Mr. HOWSE, being in the chair.Mr. HowsE placed before the meeting the report of the

council for the year ending July 13th, 1899. He also

referred to the fourth resolution carried at the annual

meeting of Fellows and Members on Nov. 17th, 1898, andstated that the council on Nov. 2nd, 1899, determined to

institute a gown for Members of the College.Mr. JOSEPH SMITH, in commencing, referred to the cause

of absence of the President, Sir William MacCormac, and ex-pressed the general wish for his safe return. He pointed outthat the conferring of the right of representation on theMembers would have been the most suitable method ofcelebrating the centenary of the College. Mr. Smith thenmoved-That this meeting regrets that the Council, having called a meeting

of Fellows and Members in July last ostensibly to consider the termsof a supplementary charter, should have entirely disregarded theprincipal resolution then adopted ; and this meeting further considersthat the introduction into the centenary charter of some provision forthe representation of Members would have been most opportune, andtrusts that the Council will even yet seize this unique occasion of ter-minating by an act of grace a long and wearisome controversy.

Dr. H. SNOW seconded the motion and said that this reformwould be to the benefit of the whole medical community.The motion was carried by 42 votes to 6.Mr. W. G. DICKINSON moved-

That, in the opinion of this meeting, no Fellow or Member of theCollege ought to be allowed to act as medical officer to any association(whether a registered friendly society or not) which has for one of itsobjects the provision of medical attendance, and which in pursuance ofthat object advertises and canvasses for patients ; and the Council isonce more urged to announce that the holding of such appointments iscontrary to the declaration made by Fellows and Members on theiradmission.

Mr. W. G. DICKINSON read the declaration referred to inthe report and mentioned several cases, especially one atPlymouth, in which the Council declared their inability toprohibit the connexion of the Members of the College withassociations which were registered under the FriendlySocieties Act. He called upon the Council to amend theirby-laws so as to be able to deal with these cases, as had

already been done by the Royal College of Surgeons ofIreland.Mr. BRINDLEY JAMES seconded and expressed the opinion

that these associations were very detrimental to the pro-fession.After several Fellows and Members had spoken the

motion was put to the vote, and 42 voted in its favourand 1 against.The motion was declared to be carried.

Mr. GEORGE BROWN moved-

That this meeting regrets that the report of the Council regardingthe registration of midwives has not been laid before it. The meetingtrusts that the Council will adopt the principle that no person, male orfemale, shall be recognised as qualified to practise midwifery who isnot also qualified in medicine and surgery-and explained that several bodies, especially the LondonObstetrical Society, granted diplomas to various persons topractise midwifery, even when they had had no training inthe other branches of medicine and surgery.

Dr. ALDERSON seconded and pointed out that midwiferywas rapidly passing out of the hands of medical men.When put to the vote the motion was carried nem. con.Mr. W. HENRY DAY moved-That this meeting of Fellows and Members of the College would

respectfully urge on the Council the desirability in the future of duenotice of the annual meeting of Fellows and Members being given bythe College to each Fellow and Member living within the postal dis-triet of London by postcard or otherwise.He felt that the present method of summoning the meetingswas very inefficient. Very few of the Members ever heard ofthe meetings or saw the notices concerning them.An amendment was moved by which it was suggested

that the notice and a copy of the report should be sent toall Fellows and Members.This was carried with no dissentien’s.

A DRUGGIST AND His MEDICAL ADVISER.-Judge Owen spoke in very indignant terms at the CardiffCounty Court on Nov. 10th in a case which was broughtbefore him in which a Cardiff druggist sought to relievehimself from paying 12 guineas for professional attendanceby imputing negligence to, and claiming damages from, Mr.William Lloyd, the medical man who attended him. Mr.

Corrigan and Dr. Wallace both stated emphatically thatthere was no negligence, after which the judge remarkedthat it was a most cruel thing to have made the charge andan absolutely wicked thing to have counter claimed. Actingupon the advice of his counsel the druggist apologisedand withdrew the charge. He was ordered to pay the12 guineas together with the costs of the action.

HOWARD ASSOCIATION.—The annual report ofthis beneficent association opens with a well-merited tributeto the memory of the late chairman, Mr. Francis Peek, whofor many years was an active member and a liberal con-tributor to the funds. During the past year the associationhas laboured diligently in the advocacy of measures for theprevention of crime and drunkenness as well as for thediminution of their causes. This being a very largesubject, with respect to the details of which thereis room for much diversity of feeling, the asso-

ciation acts wisely in not aiming at anything too farin advance of current public opinion. Before the meeting ofParliament it memorialised the Home Secretary in favour ofa measure to prevent the existing large amount of truancy from board schools and to increase the responsibility ofthe parents of juvenile offenders by the enforcement offines for gross neglect, also to establish special courts andprobation officers (as in Massachusetts) for young delin-quents. The association is now strongly in favour of theemigration of destitute and neglected children, judiciouslyselected after a preliminary period of training, who are

. willing to go abroad. It is stated that this system not onlypossesses moralising and preventive advantages, but has theadditional merit of dealing successfully with destitutechildren at a total and final cost of C20 (including inspec-tion), instead of .S200 with very doubtful success in pauperschools. The Habitual Inebriates Act (1898) was activelypromoted by the Howard Association, amongst other bodies,in the hope that it would secure a material diminution ofthe worst cases of inveterate and disorderly drunkards. Itis not surprising, therefore, to find in the report an expres-sion of regret at the delays which have occurred in carryingout the provisions of this Act. The offices of the associationare at No. 5, Bishopsgate Without, E.C.

EVESHAM COTTAGE HOSPITAL. - To com-memorate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee a new operatingward has just been completed at this hospital. The sub-

scriptions amounted only to £133, and to avoid encroachingon the endowment fund it is hoped that further contributionswill be forthcoming.A RECREATION GROUND AT WORSLEY.—Lord

Ellesmere and the Bridgwater Trustees have given to thedistrict council an extensive tract of land known as RoeGreen for a public recreation ground. ’

FROME HOSPITAL.-The foundation-stone of thenew Hospital and Nurses’ Home at Frome, erected as a com-memoration of the Queen’s Jubilee, has been laid by the Hon,Mrs. Duckworth. The land for the site was given by LordBath and the cost of the building is estimated at R5000.Over Z4000 of this amount has already been received.

MALARIA AND TROPICAL DISEASES.-An Inter-national Conference on Malaria, it is stated, will be held inLiverpool next year under the auspices of the LiverpoolSchool of Tropical Medicine. The proposal appears to havebeen favourably received both here and abroad, and theconference is likely to be satisfactorily representative ofthose who have specially examined into the question ofmalaria and tropical diseases..GERMAN FEMALE STUDENTS.-No less than li

female students have completed their studies for entranceinto universities in the Berlin Gymnasium course for girls.Two of them have married, the rest have commenced theiruniversity courses-some in philological and some in medicalfaculties. Three of the medical students have passedtheir Tentamen Pltysic1tm (preliminary scientific examination)in Halle and one in Gottingen.A RETIRING PENSION.-At the quarterly meet-

ing of the Durham County Council on Nov. 8th the VisitingCommittee of the County Asylum, Winterton, reported thatas the pension of £900 per annum which they had proposedto grant to Dr. Robert Smith, the late medical superinten-dent, on his retirement had not been approved by the CountyCouncil the committee, on reconsidering the matter, haddetermined to reduce the amount: to £700 a year, whichafter some discussion was agreed to.

AT a meeting held at the Langham Hotel onTuesday last, Nov. 14th, a committee was formally constitutedto assist Mr. Lewis A. Tallerman to carry out a scheme for

bringing the superheated air treatment of chronic rheumaticgout and allied maladies within the reach of the poor of theUnited Kingdom. The chair was taken by Mr. J. Pascall,who described the methods adopted under his chairmanshipby a free local institute that had been in existence forover three years at Blackfriars, where it had met with

signal success. A list of supporters having been readMr. Tallerman explained his scheme, which consisted brieflyin the formation of a number of free institutes on the linesof the one at Blackfriars, to be under the management oflocal committees, and he offered to furnish the whole of thenecessary apparatus free of cost. His suggestion was thateach centre should have its own honorary medical officer, whowould determine the eligibility of applicants to the charity.The Rev. J. Barraclough, Dr. D. Walsh, the Hon. HughBoscawen, and others having addressed the meeting a

number of resolutions were passed pledging those presentto support the movement.
