A-uG 17, IoT.] MEDICO-LEGAL AND MEDICO-ETHICAL. [ 441 days, was 4 keen sculler and swimmer. He was one of the original members of the Dalhousie Golf Club, while he all along took an active interest in athletics in the neighbour- hood, more particularly in connection with the High School. He was also an ardent musician. Above all, he was a singularly upright and honourable man, whom it did one good to know, and whose memory will long remain as one of the most precious traditions of his profession in the city and district in which he practised. Dr. Miller is survived by a widow and a family of eight, one of whom, Dr. George Miller, is a member of the medical iprofession. WE regret to announce the death of Surgeon-General CHARLES RICHARD FRANCIS, formerly of the Indian Medical Service. Surgeon-General Francis, who was in his 8ist year, received his professional education at the Middlesex Hospital, and became a Memb-er of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and aLicentiate of the London Societyof Apothecaries in I843. In the same year he graduated M.B. at the University -of London. In 1844 he entered the Indian Medical Service and remained on the active list till I875. During that period he held a number of civil and military appointments. He officiated at one time as Principal and Professor of Medicine at the Medical College, Calcutta, and Physician to the College Hospital. He was also Examiner in Medicine and Obstetrics to the University of Calcutta, of which he was a Fellow. Towards the close of his Indian career he held successively the posts of Secretary to the Surgeon-General, Deputy- Surgeon-General, and officiating Surgeon-General with the -Government of India. In I853 he was appointed by the Government to investigate, in conjunction with Dr. Frank Pearson, the nature of the mahamurree, which was raging as an epidemic in the hill districts of Kumaon and Gurhwal. Drs. Francis and Pearson found this disease to be identical 'with " buboinic plague," and wrote a valuable report thereon. Dr. Francis experimented much with snakes and snake poison, with a view of discovering an antidote. He was at one time editor of the Indian Medical Gazette, and was the author of "Sketches of Native Life in India," " To India and Back by the Cape," " Army Hospital Equipments," " The Indian Medical Officer's Vade-Mecum," "List of Vernacular Profes- <sional Publications," "O On Constitutional Syphilis," " Endemic Plague in India," " Enteric Fever in India, " "C ourse of In- troductory Lectures at the Medical College, Calcutta," "Alcohol, Chemically, Physiologically, and Microscopically -Considered," "Alcohol: A Compendium of Information on the Temperance Question," "On Snake Poison," "Medical Women for India," "How to Preserve Health in India,." etc. S. JOHN HANKINSON GORNALL, Medical Officer of Health lor the County Borough of Warrington, who died recently after an illness of several months, was born at Preston in 1841. 'The death of his father when he was only six years of age left the family in straitened circumstance, and the trials which, in company with his mother and sister, he then underwent, -left a marked impress in after-years both on his character and his physical constitution. He received his preliminary -education at the Liverpool College, then under the head- '4nastership of Dr. Howson, subsequently Dean of Chester. EIere he gained numerous certificates and prizes. At IN he was apprenticed to a branch of the shipping trade,'but, -disliking this trade, he became medical apprentice to his ,uncle, Dr. Kenyon, of Wavertree. About the year I858 he gained a resident scholarship at the Liverpool Medical School, and lived in the Liverpool Infirmary, as assistant to the house-surgeon. Thence he went to Warrington as H{ouse-Surgeon to the old Dispensary in i865. He left Warrington in i868 to take up a partnership with Dr. William Arminson, of Preston. In I870, however, he returned to Warrington and began practice on his own account. Among the appointments which Dr. Gornall held at the time of his -death, the one which he had held longest was that of public vaccinator, to which post he was appointed in I872. He was also Poor-law Medical Officer. At one time, also, he was Medical Officer for the Warrington Rural District ; he was made Medical Officer of the Infectious Diseases Hospital in I878, and in i88o Medical Officer of Health and Public Analyst when he relinquished all private practice to devote himself to the health of the town. In June, I885, his name was placed on the Commission of the Peace for the Borough of Warrington, and within more recent years he was appointed Consulting- Surgeon to the Warrington Infirmary. Dr. Gornall was married in I866 to Miss Mary Guest. His eldest son (Dr. J. Guest Gornall) was recently appointed Deputy Medical Officer of the Borough. The loss of Dr. Gornall will be keenly felt, and the sorrowing widow and family have the deep sympathy of a large circle of friends in the irreparable loss they have sustained. WE regret to announce the death of Dr. LEROY DE MERI- COURT, of Paris, at an advanced age. After serving as Surgeon-Major throughout the Crimean war, he was ap- pointed Professor at the Brest School of Medicine. He was a recognised authority on naval hospital organisation. Dr. de M6ricourt was a member of the Acad6mie de M6decine. He was founder and director of the Archives de M&decine Navale, and was the author of numerous contributions to medical literature. DEATHS IN THE PROFESSION ABROAD.-Among the members of the medical profession in foreign countries who have re- cently died are Dr. Armand Delpeuch, Physician to the H6pital Cochin, Paris, aged 45; Dr. Miguel Colmeiro, Pro- fessor of Natural History in the Medical Faculty of the Uni- versity of Madrid; Dr. Maurice Perkins, Professor of Che- mistry and Toxicology in the Albany Medical College, aged 65; Dr. Joseph Le Conte, Professor of (Geology and Natural History in the University of California, author of Sight: An Exposition of the Principles of Monocular and Binocular Vision: Evolution and its 1Belatzon to Religious Thought, etc., aged 8o; Dr. Lacaze-Duthiers, Professor in the Faculty of Science of the University of Paris; Dr. Hameau, Vice-President of the French General Medical Association; Dr. Ed. Tordens, Agrig6 Professor in the University of Brussels, and formerly Clinical Professor of Diseases of Children at the H6pital St. Pierre in that city, aged 54; and Dr. E. J. M. Aubr6e, Professor in the Rennes School of Medicine. MEDICO-LEGAL AND MEDICO-ETHICAL. AN ACTION FOR LIBEL. IN the case of Martin v. Allen, which was heard by the Lord Chief Justice and a special jury at Leeds last week, the plaintif, who was at one time matron of the isolation hospital at Belper, in Derbyshire, sued Dr. Richard Grammer Allen, the medical superintendent of the hospital, for damages for libel. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, K.C., and Mr. Waddy appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. J. Scott Fox, K.C., and Mr. Compston (instructed by the Solicitor to the Medical Defence Union) appeared for the defendant. According to a report which appeared in the Timnes of August 12th the defendant had been superintendent of the Belper Isolation Hospitai for some time prior to January, I900. The plaintiff was appointed matron on January 20th in that year, and from the very first there seems to have been friction between the parties. On July I4th the defendant wrote a letter to the committee of the hospital, which contained (inter alca) the following statement: "I was soon convinced that your present matron is a person absolutely unfitted for the responsible position in which she is placed .... Miss Martin appears to think that this building was erected for her sole use and benefit-in fact, as a convenient centre for friendly visitation and the dis- semination of idle gossip. You will probably recollect the day but one after I took office the nursing staff deserted en masse, the reason given being, 'W e cannot and will not work with this matron.' The three nurses whom we have at present have all intimated to me their intention of resigning their duties if the present mismanagement continues: petty annoyances long continued and by one in authority may make life un- bearable. This is what has happened and is happening at your isolation hospital. Her manner to me has at times been most impertinent. I have received more insolence from her in six months than I have done in all my experience with nurses. Only a few days ago a stuff dress worn by the housemaid-a mere child-was sent by the matron to be altered and repaired by a convalescent patient. It came back without being disin- fected. The girl contracted the malady, and is now under treatment. Whoever has gone to the hospital on visiting days must have wondered if he had read aright the meaning of the word ' isolation.' Such a rabble I never came across, without any apparent discipline, wandering here, there, and everywhere, all over the grounds. The matron's sole idea appears to be to make the place into a show ground and impress the parents and friends. With all this amount of irregular visiting can you wonder that the epidemic does not cease and that we read attacks in the press on -thiB and isolation hospitals generally? We,are also handicapped that in an emergency we are unable to obtain the services of nurses from the Derby Nurses' Home as long as the present matron remains. I could, if necessary, write a gooddeal more to prove to you that Miss Martin is not the proper person to be in authority in a place of this description, but I consider that I have said quite. enough, and

QJERIENS,

CRIPPLE asks if anyone can recommend a home for a gentleman, aged 36,totally blind, and subject to epileptic fits. He could pay about ios. aweek.

DR. W. F. HAYNES (Stanstead, Essex) would be glad to hear of any schoolson the South Coast where a deaf and dumb lad could be taught. Hehas a weak chest, and requires careful medical supervision.

X. Y. Z. writes: Can any member inform me of an island round theEnglish or Scotch coasts without a public-house, and where there isalso a doctor that would be willing to take a mild case of dipsomania?

FILIA writes: I should be glad to learn if there is, at Epsom or else-where, a college for girls-daughters of medical men-or if any memberknows of a good girls' school in Germany where the care and feedingare good and the musical education excellent at a moderate cost.

X. Y. Z. would be glad to hear of any food suitable for a delicate baby of13 months. It has at present 30 to 40 ounces of milk with added creambut is gradually losing weight. Is this sufficient ? What should a chilaof this age weigh ?

COUNTY PRACTITIONER would like to have the opinion of members onthe treatment of obesity with thyroglandin: (I) As to its capabilities;(2) its imiiiediate evil effects (if any) and what; (3) remote effects afterprolonged use; and (4) what symptoms should guide hilii in stoppingor reducing the dose.

INTUSSUJSCEPTION.J. T. F. (Strathpeffer) would be glad to be referred to any description ofpathological appearances of ileo-colic or large intestine invaginationespecially with regard to the actual position of the ileo-ceeal valve anathe appendix, the seat of strangulation (if present), and the course ofthe passage of the feees when obstruction was absent or was overcomenaturally, also to learn whether appendicitis has been observed as acause.

ANSWE.S*

DUM SPIRO SPERO.-Mr. H. J. Waring's Manual of Operative Surgery(Edinburgh and London: Young J. Pentland. 1898) would probablymeet our correspondent's requirements.

CLOUGEJORDAN.-We should decidedly recommend our correspondentto consult a surgeon. The deformity to which he mentions is generallyremediable by operation.

B. B.-Our correspondent might try the iuethod which used to bein favour with the petits crev6s of Paris who wished to make themselveslook as if they had been serving in Algeria, namely, to anoint the facewith oil and then sit in the sun for some hours daily.

RUPTuRE.-We do not give medical or surgical advice. We may say, how-ever, that we gather from our correspondent's statement that he isworrying himself quite unnecessarily as to his condition. We shouldstrongly advise him to pay no attention to what he sees in the papersabout medical matters. We know nothing of the pamphlet as to whichhe asks our opinion; we do not find the name of'the author in theMedical Register for I90I. But in any case our correspoRdent would dowell to give up reading about the subject as to which he writes, and toleave himself entirely in the hands of his doctor.

THE KILLING OF WEEDS.Dr. W. LATTEY (Southam) writes: In reply to '"G. P.", I have found boil-ing water efficacious for killing weeds. Plenty should be used and indry weather, and perhaps the addition of common salt would be better.About twenty-five years ago I laid down paths made of I part of Port-land cement to 3 of stone; they are clean, dry, and not very expensive,and show little sign of deterioration.

DEMONSTRATION OF HIP-JOINT BY X RAYS.DR. J. K. PICKFORD.-A good 8-inch spark coil, with suitable condenser,and worked with a rotary mercury break and 24 volts, or with theWelmelt interrupter with a Ioo-Volt circuit, will give excellent resultseither on the screen or upon a photographic plate. I. The hip-joint inan adult is never seen very satisfactorily on the screen, even with the
