promIsmg to be very fine a very enjoyable day was looked forward to, but before Portsmouth Town Station was reached a steady drizzle set in, which somewhat damped the enthusiasm of not a few; however, shortly after our arrival the weather cleared and sunshine prevailed for the remainder of the day.

"A programme of the various places of interest had been obtained by our energetic Secretary (Serjeant J. W. Robinson), which proved of great convenience to those who had not visited Southsea before. The chief attraction appeared to be the Olarence Pier, which was extremely well patronized. 'The Gems,' who were appearing there for the week, rendered a fine display of musical talent which was both amusing and edifying.

At the conclusion of this performance the party proceeded to the 'Duchess of Albany' Soldiers' Home, where a substantial luncheon was well catered for by Mr. Grant (the manager). The menu was as follows;-

Luncheon. Roast Beef, Roast Mutton.

Veal and Ham Pie. Green Peas. Oabbage.

Potatoes. Sweets.

Apple Tart. Oherry Tart. Gooseberry Tart. Rice Pudding. Tapioca Pudding.

Oheese. Biscuits. Tea and Ooffee.

"After lunch the members distributed themselves into nlimerous p&rties, both young and old finding many varieties of amusement on the extensive promenade and beach, many participating in drives, bathing, &c.

" The afternoon passing away much too quickly in this manner a return was made to the Soldiers' Home where the party did justice to an excellent tea. After tea the majority of the members attended the Hippodrome Music Hall, where several wellknown artists were appearing, others passed the time away with walks along the promenade, &c.

"The hour of return arriving all too soon, a departure was made at 9.5 p.m., and the party arrived at Aldershot at.11 p.m., after experiencing a most enjoyable day.

"In conclusion, the thanks of all, are due to our esteemed Secretary for the able manner in which everything was arranged, and also to the London and South Western Railway Oqmpany for the comfortable and commodious travelling accommodation."

Medicine.-Ca~e for commentary. Wednesday, July 27, 1910. Commencing 10 a.m. (Time allowed-l~ hours). Read your instructions.

R. H., aged 34, was admitted to hospital, November 1, complaining of pain in his left side; he was pale and amemic, otherwise he looked healthy and well nourished.

HistoTy.-The patient had generally been a healthy man, but in the previous July he had been an inmate of the hospital for rheumatism of the huger joints, particularly the knees, when he was treated with the salicylates, and was discharged cured four weeks later. His heart, except for a slight mitral regurgitant murmur, seemed sound. On the present occasion, after a few days' treatment by rest and aspirin, the temperature became normal and the pain in the side was so much relieved that he seemed to be nearly well. Physical examination revealed nothing but a loud systolic murmur of a blowing character in the mitral area, which completely replaced the first cardiac sound and was conveyeg round into the axilla; the heart was beating rather forcibly in its normal position. The pulse was regular, 86 in the minute, compressible. Temperature 99'6°. Urine contained some albumen, but there were no tube casts, and the specific gravity was normal. On the 8th the evening temperature was 100'7°. On the following morning he woke up, complaining of inability to turn from his back to the right side, which he said was" numb, painful, and paralysed." He looked pale and was much frightened and excited; temperature 1010 and pulse rapid.

On examination it was evident that there was some paresis of the right hand and fore-arm, with a dulling of sensation; the face, tongue, and legs were unaffected. Both motor and sensory functions returned in a few days, and the temperature continued fairly normal up to November 15. On that day, at 10.30 p.m., he suddenly had a severe rigor, the temperature rose to 103°, ,and fifteen minutes later to 104'6°, pulse 140, respiration 60; he breathed with a slight groan, and complained of severe pain in the right thigh. In twelve hours the pain had passed chiefly to the right foot and great toe. This increase of fever ended in profuse sweating, and the evening temperature fell to 96'2°; he was left very weak and prostrate. The day following it was noticed that pulsation could not be detected in the right dorsalis pedis vessel. On the 17th the pain in the foot was much less acute, but the right groin was acutely tender just inside the femoral artery; although the glands in the femoral region were evident, they were neither enlarged nor tender. Hypodermics of morphia gave relief and sleep. The pain and tenderness in the groin lasted several days and were increased on coughing, otherwis'e the patient was showing signs of improvement, the temperature being lower and the pain in the foot and toe almost gone, but his pnlse kept up and a troublesome cough developed. Physical examination showed crepitations over both lungs, and in front, about the third rib on the left side, there was some want of resonance on percussion and the respiration was vesiculo-tubular. The sputum was mucopurulent, of a tenacious and thick consistence, and when examined microscopically showed large clumps of pneumococci; other cocci were also present. On two subsequent occasions he had a sharp attack 0f intermittent pyrexia lasting twelve to twenty-four hours, in which the pulse ran up to 200, each attack ending in profuse sweating.

In one of these, sudden severe pain occurred in the left shoulder, the pain was not increased on movement; in the other, a circular patch of a dusky purple colour was found on his right instep.

Death occurred on December 2, the mind being quite clear to the end. There were no special features to be noted about the state of the liver, spleen, bowels, or kidneys, beyond the presence of a little albumen in the urine. The cardiac murmur seemed to be unchanged.

Discuss the foregoing case as to its nature and pathology. Explain the symptoms in the sequence of their occurrence. What further examination would you have made to throw light on the diagnosis? What treatment would you suggest as likely to arrest the disease or to relieve the patient?
