FREE TECHNICAL SCHOOLS FOR FISHERFOLK.

MR. J. LAWRENCE-HAMILTON, whose interest in fish and fishermen iswell known, complains in a circular letter of the refusal on the partof Her Majesty’s Government to grant a Royal Commission to inquireinto the development of inland and coast fisheries and fishing tradesas a means to provide cheap, healthy, and abundant fish food for thepoor as well as the rich, and to furnish an extensive economical navalreserve from people engaged in the fish trade, at a nominal capitationgrant. He suggests that no class of people require more urgently thebenefit of technical education than those engaged in the fish industry.

B. C.-By the provisions of the Pleuro-pneumonia Act recently passedthe powers hitherto exercised by the local authorities will be trans.ferred to the Board of Agriculture on September 1st.

A Bachelor.-Probably Alex. Mayer’s book, "Des Rapports Conjugaux,"4th ed., published in Paris in 1860, would answer the purpose.

Enquirer.—The charge is a reasonable one, and should be sanctioned assuch in a court of law.

C. E. H. has forgotten to enclose his card.

CERTIFICATES OF DEATH FOR LIFE ASSURANCECOMPANIES.

To the Editors of THE LANCET.

SIRS,-I should be glad of your opinion, and that of other membersof the profession, on the question of our duty in regard to requests fromlife assurance companies for information respecting deceased patientswho were insured with them.

I have just received a printed form from one such company, headed" Confidential Statements by the Medical Attendant during the lastIllness of the late Mr. -," in which the following questions occur :-" 5. Give your opinion as to the cause or origin of the disease or diseasesrom which death resulted.-6. Did any other disease ordiseases precedeor co-exist with that which immediately caused death? If so, state thedate of origin, and what was the nature and history of such disease ordiseases.-7. Have you any suspicion that, in the deceased’s case,

irregular habits occasioned or aggravated disease or accelerated death?"Appended is a note : "The medical attendant will be good enough toreturn this form to the head office of the Company and to look to thedeceased’s representatives for payment of his fee."Ought such reports to be demanded of us ? or ought not a copy of the

registrar’s certificate of death to be sufficient ? If we fill up such

reports, whose sanction to our doing so ought we to seek-the widow’s,the executor’s, the children’s, or none ?

I am, Sirs, yours truly,I August 19th, 1890.

FIRST AID AND BANDS OF HOPE.

MR. W. M. GEE, Secretary of the Church of England Temperance A

Society, Bridge-street, Westminster, S.W., writes : "The St. JohnAmbulance Association have arranged to supply simple elementaryinstruction in nursing and first aid suitable for Bands of Hope andkindred bodies. The Bands of Hope of the Church of England affordan effective means of accomplishing the much-desired object of

spreading such knowledge ; and, to create a spirit of competition, wehope to be able to offer a banner to the Church Band of Hope ineach diocese which, by the spring of 1892, has the greatest percentageof members possessing the certificate of the course. One hundred

and fifty pounds are required for this purpose, and I venture toappeal for this sum to medical men."

Endagator.—The reference is to the Seventh Book of Celsus, chap. xxv. :"Ad tegendam Glandem Colis, si nuda est" (On the mode of re-covering the glans penis in paraphimosis). This was a surgical pro-ceeding in much request among the Jews of Rome during the firstdecades of the Empire. They inhabited the city in great numbers,and were subject to a most oppressive tax (fesczcs Judaicus), to escape 1which they sought to remove the signs of their nationality by undoingthe effects of circumcision, as it was mainly from the presence orabsence of the prepuce that the fiscal agent decided whether theywere Jews or not.

Medical Officer of Health.-Our correspondent’s inquiries relate to a r

question exclusively legal, upon which we are hardly in a position to i

anticipate the decision of the courts or to offer advice. 1

J.-We doubt if the employment is illegal, however undesirable such ilong hours may be.

Dr. Wiglesworth.-We shall be pleased to receive the paper. i

"MEDICAL PUFFING BY THE LAY PRESS." 11

To the Editors of THE LANCET. 1

SIRS,-On my return from a summer holiday my attention has been Icalled to a paragraph in THE LANCET relating to notices in a local paper of two accidents I attended. I was not aware until to-day thatsuch notices had appeared. It is a common thing, I find, for accountsof accidents, with the names of the attending surgeons, to be insertedin such papers. Reporters have to live as well as doctors. Having alarge practice, I necessarily have many accidents to attend to. On referring to my case-book, I find I had several other severe ones thatweek; so it does not appear to me particularly strange that two of thenumber should be reported in the paper for my district. What does,however, distress me is that any professional brother should stoop toattack me anonymously; for, of course, your correspondent knew hisname would not appear. However worldly wise we may be, suchsecret darts have their sting. Ever since I embarked in practice inthis neighbourhood I have had offensive anonymous epistles from timeto time, in which I can trace evidence of professional wording. Theauthor is probably some local practitioner whose preserves he considersI am encroaching upon, and may, indeed, be your correspondent. I

Mgret he has not sufficient practice to employ his time better.I trust to your fairness to publish this letter, and remain, Sirs,

Yours obediently,Lavender-hill, S.W., Aug. 19th, 1890. F. TAYLOR SIMSON.

HOLIDAY DRAWBACKS.

H. W. G.-There should be no difficulty between two medical neigh-bours in such a case. We should advise the division of the fee. The

whims of patients are among the trials of medical men in the holidayseason ; but the good sense and feeling of true medical neighboursgreatly reduce the annoyance, and sometimes afford the greatestpleasure.

The Secretary, Women’s Hospital, Wolverhampton.-Our authority wasgiven in the lines by which the paragraph was introduced.

QUACK REMEDIES AND THE ARISTOCRACY.To the Editors of THE LANCET.

. SIRS,-A company styled " H. H. Warner and Co., Limited," wasfloated in London in November, 1889, to acquire the patent of " Warner’sSafe Cure." The directors of this company are the Earl of Crawfordand Balcarres (chairman) ; T. W. Boord, Esq., M.P. (deputy chairman) ;H. H. Warner (managing director in the United States); R. Baelz, Esq. ;C. T. Kingzett, Esq.; and C. E. Howarrl Vincent, Esq., M.P. The B10shares of the company are quoted, I am told, at over 70, and no doubta lucrative business is being done. I should, however, as an Americanmedical man, like to know whether it is thought in England a reputablething for peers and members of Parliament to make money by dealingin a notorious quack medicine.

I am, Sirs, yours faithfully,August,1S90. A YANKEE M.D.

THE MILK OF THE EGYPTIAN BUFFALO.

ACCORDING to the researches of Messrs. Pappel and Richmond, of theKhedivial Laboratory, Cairo, the milk of the Egyptian buffalo orgamoose, Bos bubalus, presents several characteristics distinguishingit from that of the cow, which may well be remembered by medicalmen who have to treat patients, especially infants, in Egypt or inother countries where this animal is common. The amount of fat wasfound to be a good deal larger than in cow’s milk, the percentage inthe specimens examined varying from 5’15 to 7’35. The sugar, which

appeared to be a hitherto undescribed variety differing from milksugar, was also found to be of larger amount than that in cow’s milk,the average percentage being 5-41. It is suggested that this sugarshould be called tewfikose. The fat, too, was found to differ from thatof cow’s milk, containing minute quantities of sulphur and phosphorus,and yielding four times as much caproic acid as bntyric acid, whereasin cow’s milk the quantity of caproic acid is only double that ofbutyric acid. The milk was also found to contain a small quantityof citric acid.

AN IMPOSTOR.

To the Editors of THE LANCET.

SIRS,—I think the following statement of facts will be useful to yourreaders. A person representing himself as a qualified medical man,formerly a student of St. George’s Hospital, and as having lately prac-tised in Australia, called at my house. He stated he came home torealise moneys supposed to be left him by his father. This, he said, hefound not to be the case, and that in an utterly destitute condition hewas making his way to a cousin in Glasgow. I paid for supper and bedfor himself and wife, and asked them to return in the morning. There-

upon I wrote to the Agent General for Queensland in London, to whomthe man represented himself as well known. He wired me in reply thatthe man was quite unknown to him. He never returned to my house as

arranged.. Description: Gentlemanly, tall, sunburnt, long, rather thinface, grizzled beard, whiskers, and moustache; in very shabby blackclothes. I am, Sirs, youis truly,August, 1890. R. C. S. S.
