i-446 71Lt.BRITI6H"IBTH0DCAO UIUAZ. [Sept. 1, 1883.i&eaWtat aidndaof.epef eatioa,:5tighPAj_t0ti way, be -made to em-btace s lagge. proportiofr ofthe iumates t the - lunatic asylums andprisons of the country; b-it, in practice, no insane person who hadcommitted a crime biecame- -a- criminal lunatic unless the nature ofthe crime was such as to reader this eoarse necassary for the protec-tion of the commiunity, whilst no criminal was removed from prisonon the ground of mental defect at' derangement, unless unfit forpenal discipline. After explaining that, in:a more nearly ideal stateof society than now existed, the class of " crimhial lunatics " woulddisappear; since- no zne would be -sen:tenced to puishment who wasinsane; and no one who ts-insane would be left at large to commitcrime; Dr. Orange reviewed the general tendency and scope oflegtislation upon 'the subject. In 1800, the case of Hadfield, who*as'-tried -for filing at King George- MI, produced a definite amend--sndnt in regard to law add practide, and' the immediate result of his-acquittal was-th-e -passing of the "Insane' Offenders' Bill," whichmade provision for detention in cases classed as treason, murder,and- felony. After showing how similar provisions were, forty yearslater, applied to persons charged with misdemeanour, Dr. Orange re-viewed the steps which led to, the establishment of Dundrum andBroadmoorAsylums, and submitted several valuable statistical state-ments in reference- to gatients atBrbEadmoor. The evils of sentencingpersons to imtiprisOnment who were really insane-were manifold. Therewas the injury inflicted upon the individual; there was also the inryto the discipline -of the prison by the introduction of a person forwhose sake a relaxation, and Ili some cases A total abandonment, ofthe regulationh was Inevitable ; and then there WAs also the injury tothe moral sense of the commtunity caused b-y encouraging the no-tion that it-had no duty towards an -insane person, except to waitfor the commission df a crime, and- then to punish him. 'Mr. JusticeStephen, in his recent Hfistory. of the Criminal Law, of England,had called attention to the nlecessity of weiglhing most carefullyevery word, and mord particularly the word " know," contained in thequestion, "Did the accused know, at the time- of committing his act,that he was doing wrong ?"- and had stated that, in his opinion, thelaw of England, did recogniwe defective power of control, if causedby disease affecting the mind, 'or by congenital mental imperfec-tion, as being one element to be considered in determining thequestion of legal responsibility. This opinion of Mr. Justice Stephcnwas in accordance with the ruling of- other learned judges.Dr. Orange also' alled particular attexition -tothose passages of MIr.Justice Stephens's work in which incapacity, in consequence ofmental disease or defect, to form a rational judgment with respectto -the moral character of a particularact, was deolared, in the writer'sopinion-, to be 'equivalent to incapacity to f-lly' know that the act iswrong;, and he urged medical men to bear this opinion of so learneda- writer and,judge in mind, when called upon to give evidence in acourt of law; although. the chief question from a medical point ofview would ever be whethepthe accused was, insane, and whetherthe act for which he was beinLg tried was the -product and result ofthe mental disease. In conclusion, it was suggested that it wasvery desirable that medical officers of- prisons should possessa competent knowledge of mental diseases, and that prisonerssuspected of being mentally -deranged should be examined as

-soon as possible after the iommission of- the crime with whichthey were charged; and that- the examination should be pro-vided for by the Treasury, in a- manner similar to that in whichcounsel for the prosecution wAs provided. 'It was also suggestedthat-the examiners should, be the medical officer of the prison, themedical officer of the co nty asylum, or hospital for the insane inthe neighbourhood, and a medical practitioner of standing in thetown where the prison wae 'situated; and that the three medicalmen should, after -consulting 1sgether,Jdraw up,a joint report, to begiven to the-prosecouting counsel; the oosot being borne by the pub-lie purse.

After ,a vote-of thanks to Dr.AOrange, which was proposed by Dr.:BUCKNzLL, and seonded by Dr. NusaUwr, Inspector and Commis-Saoner Qf Control of-Asylums in,Irelan41- a-long and interesting dis--eousion followed, in- whieh .Dr. Hack TiliTzer Dr. Yellowlees, Dr..Orange, aud Pr; Gover, took part.

A,vote of thanks to the Royal College-of Physicians, for the useof. the room, terminated the meeting, and the members of the As--socation afterwards dined'together- at Greenwich.

A PARiS correspondent of the Daily Telegraph states that M.Pasteur, the eminent physician and scientist, who was largely in-strumental in procuring the despatch of a French medical expedi-tion to Egypt to examine into the causes of cholera and the natureof the disease, has received reports from the commission which arehighly satisfactory to him. The missioti believes that the result ofexaminations it is now pursuing, will establish that old acceptedtheories as to the origin and nature of the disease are greatly atfault. It is hoped the mission will make a report embodying prac-tical sucgestions for prevention of the epidemic.

-*TEE REPRESENTATION OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION IN PARLIAMENT.SIR,-The increasi-ng influence of the medica.l profession in public affairs, is notcompensated by the wanit of political power in miatters relating to its owI1body. Would it not be advantageous to the professioni if it introduced andsuLpported, as a body, and at its own expense, some member who would takeup and prosecute reforms connected with the practice of mliedicine? Suchmeasures as the Medical Bill might be taken up and pressed forwartl by amemnber wlho was especially sent to represenit the interest of the medicalprofession. It is beyond the power of a mnedical man engaged in practice tobecome a candidate for Parliament; buit if a maintenance were insurel.there are able imiemnbers of the nsedical profession who would willingly offel-tlhemnselves as representatives, I slhould be very willing to sulhcribe annuallyfor this object.-Yours, T. FREDERICK PEARwmE, MI).

HIaslemere, Surrey.SArAT, lBRDS A-ND CHOLERA.

A CORRESPONDE1NT wr'ites to Nature to sav that he has received from a residenltat Zagazig, in Egypt, a curiouis observation relating to cholera. The town ofZagazig had, up to the time, remained perfectly healthy, and the swallowsan(l sparrows wvere flyinig alsout as usu.al, and, so long as they remained, thie-resident considered the inbabitants were qtuite secure from.i any attack, but,when the birds left lie woul(d not be long before lie followed them. lIeremarked further, that the birds had been observed by residents of long,standing to depart before the approach of cholera during the last foxur epi-demics. The gentleman writinig to Nature asks wliat cali be the catuse ofthis, and we shall be glad if any of our readers can answer the question.

TENNIs ELBOw.BiP.,-I am ai unfortunate sufferer from the above troublesomne a{tec'iov,

wvhich camie oni after five or six hard sets at tesiiiis at the commencenmenit ofthis season. Will some of your niimerotis readers, vlo have had experienlceof this complaint, kindly iniform me what is the condition produced in thetissues surrousidisig the joint, and-also the treatment they have founLd mostefficaeiouis in obstinate cases? I have tried rest and friction for about twomonths, withouit much beriefit, as my arm quickly breaks do-wn the momentI commence using it, and becomes very painful. I am compelled to use itvery carefully even for ordinary purposes, such as dressing, etc., and it isquite tuseless where streisgth asii prolon-ged exertioni are required. The nil6-chief seems to be ehieflv in the muxscles and tendonis of the forearm imnme-diatelv below the joint, and the triceps above the joint.-I am, yours faith-futill, A MEmBiS,m.

A NIG(HrT MEDICAL SERVICE.SiR,-in reference to tle very judiciotus remarks you mnake as to .the necessityof a ' Night Medical Service," permit me to observe, that iuiitil a bettes- plan1can be initiated and established, the elements of siieh a service already exist.and might be nmade available in cases like that of a little girl who recentlydied in. Peabody's Buildings, Bermondscy, viz., the medical practitioner at-tached to eacl of the Metropolita-n Police Stations. The only requlisite shouldibe ani application miade to, andl an order for attendance obtained fromt, theinspector or officer in charge of nig;It duty at the nearest police stationi.The discretioInary power isivested ini thee Hlome Secretary shotuld be suffieientauithority for the prompt action of the police in, similar cases.-I am, sir,yours obediently, H.

SIR,-There having been several cases reported this month of deatli from.1tsting of a single bee (two cases, if I remember correctly, ocecirring iii War-wickshire), I write to say it would be interesting to know if any of yoiir cor-respondents who saw assy. of these cases, did ascertain whether or not thewar, nlot unusual at this seasoIn of the year, was proceeding in the hlives be-tween the workingr bees and the drones. Supposing one of these wars to beaettually proceeding at the time, it does not seem very difficult to account forthe virulence of the st-ing, quite apart from any abnormal condition of theblood and nerve-centres of the persoei stulng, or eveni the exact spot where tiltw%round was Inflicted.-Youirs, etc., .J. iL. W.

Atugust 17th, 1883..MtnIcAL INSUTRANCE.

SIR,-Now that, medical providenice is being placed on a secure basis by thleAssociation, I ask, as an uninstired member, if the Committee will not under-take to at least recommesid one or more insurance companies t.o its members,seeing that life-assurance canniot be entered into by the Soeiefv? This ques-tion has, I know, been asked of you before, but has only beenl answered byreferring the anxiouis inqtuirer to a digest of prospectuses, and then lettin,ghim choose for himself. Takinig, for instance, the sixty or so companies pre-sented in Chuirchill's Directory, it is almost linpossible for an ave,rge reade-,inexperienced in actuarial bnsiness, to decide uipon the best or safest.Whereas, if the Pros-iderut Committee were but to inqiiire into, and treatwitlh, a few of the number, and explain their several merits to menmbers, it.would, I believe. save a deal of heart-burning, and prevent that diffidexnerand lamentable lack of providence which have hitherto marked our pl-o-fession.Most of us lave lhad experience witl offers of medical refereeships as bail.s

for premiums; and lhow iymany thlere are who lha-e thiiis been taken in by themost plausible and able representations of agesits, it is dilfleiilt to tell. PFo-the sake of those wh-o may now possess valuieless policies, and the many m(li-ewvhose wives atid families are unprovided for, a complete anid authoritativereply would be gladly wvelcomed.-Faitlhfully youirs, A. LL. .1.

WARRANTS OF BROUGHWAM3S.Sma-If any of your readers should feel teTmipted to puirchase a brouglhaums etthe forthconming winter, or otlherwise, lot sue advise that a thorouglh unider-standing should exist between the buyer and seller, as to what "a warrasitflu last for two years" means.I bought a brougham in, November last year, " warranted to last two years,"

of a person who advertises a medical brougham. In April-I had to sesnd itfto have the wheels repaired; in Jiily the wheels had again broken 4own,and the roof had cracked; and I, finally, to get rid of it, accepted £40 fronsthe seller, to whom I hal paid £7815s. ; not a very profitable piece of wor'k.The guarantee to " last two years," merely meaut to repair if broken downwith fair wear and -tear-the latter of course was disputed..I am, sir, yeo-9truly, H.

456 THB BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL. [Sept. 1,9883.FISH AS AX ARTIcLE oF DIVT.-R WORKHOUSES.

Biss,-I atm endeavouring to convince the Board of Guardians (of which I am amember) of this district, that it would be for the benefit of the workhouse in-mates, and possibly economical as regalds the ratepayers, if they wouldadopt-if only for a limited period-fish as a regular article of diet in lieu ofmeat,'once or twfce weekly. I have not yet been able to obtain a majority infavor of my proposition, owing to a prejudice against innovation; but, as Iamconvinced of the utility of the change, I mean to succeed. As a help to thatend, I would be glad if every reader of this note having knowledge of a work-house that has adopted a partial fish diet, would kindly inform me, as soon asconvenient, and, if possible, also let me know the amount per head foundnecessary for a dinner.-Yours faithfully, W. ARNOLD THOHsoN.Ampthill, August 21st.

MARRIAGE OF COUSINS.SIR,-Will you direct the attention o1 " A First Cousin " to Section 563 of theMedical Digest, where he will find all that has been written upon the subject,during the last thirty-five years, referred to.Since the publication of the Digest, a paper by Dr. Cameron has appeared

in the JOURNAL, January 1883, p. 12, as well as some consolatory remarks, incases of healthy subjects, in the Lancet, July 1883, p. 88.-I am, youirs truly,

RICHARD NEA.E, M.D.Lond.60, Boundary Road, South Hampstead, N.W., August 21st, 1883.

SiR,-In answer to the inquiry of your correspondent, " A First Cousin," in theJOURNAL of Atusrglt 18th, I may inform him that the book to which I believehe refers is The Aarriage of Near Kin, considered with respect to the Lan-us ofNations, Results of Ezperience, and the Tea4hings of Biology, by Alfred H. Huth,published by Churchill. He will find the subject of consanguineous mar-riages very fuilly considered therein.-I am, etc.,

JOHN W. ELLIS, L.R.C.P.E.101, Everton Road, Liverpool, August 25th, 1883.

SIR,-Your correspondent-" A First Cousin" will find requisite informationconcerning results of consatnguineous marriages, in the following treatises.Huth On thle Marriage of Near Kin; Liebreich, Medical Times and Gazette,April 6th, 1861, p. 372; Correspondent in the Lancet for 1866, p. 113; ProfessorDevay, Gazette Hebdomadaire, September 1860, p. 598; Transactions of theAmerican Medical Association, vol. ii, 18.58; "M3arriages between FirstCousins," Journal of the Statistical Society, vol. 38, p. 347, 1875.-I am, eta.,

that the paint vill last for more than two years without repainting.OXYURTS VER-MICULARIS.

A MEMBER asks for suggestions in the following case. C. N., aged 32, hasbeen troubled with oxyuris vermicularis since his fourteenth year, and fromtime to time has taken calomel, scammony with jalap; and for the last foluryears, once a month, santonin (seven grains), followed by castor oil, and,some hours afterwards, an enema of tturpentine and gruel. He states he hasused enemata of salt and water, quassia, aloes, etc. His father, grandfather.and great grandmother, also two sisters, were all teased with the same kinid ofworTn.

Sri,-A lady who wislies for a female child, asks if I can give her any informa-tion whether any steps can be taken to secuire this result. I have seen in theJOURNAL some remarks about sex, and its cause, but cannot remember where.Can any of your readers help.-Yours, etc., Mr. D.

HYPEETTROPHY OF THE BREAST.SIR,-Hypertrophy of the breast is, I think, not a common affection. The fol-lowing case, although occurring in a far distant colony, may, therefore, notbe lininteresting.M., a negress, and a labourer on an adjacent estate, applied for relief last

month. She was apparently forty years of age, and well nourished. Shemarried atout twenty years ago, and has had three children, aged respec-tively l;, 12, and 10 years. She first noticed commencinig enlargement afterthebirth of her second child, which she nursed for sixteen months. Her thirdchild she nursed fifteen months. She has always menstruated regtularly,except during pregnancy and ntirsing. The enlargemenit has been gradualsince the birth of her second child, and pain has throughouit been entirelyabsent.On examination, both breasts, when allowed to hang, very nearly reache(d

the umbilicus, the right being slightly longer than the left. She refuses alloperative interference.-Faithfully yours,

S. FITZGERALD PROCTOR, M.B., M.A.St. Lucia, West Indies, July 20th, 1883.

LOCAL ANIDROSIS.Sra-Can any of youir readers help me in the followinig case? A gentlemani of

active habits and careful living comes to me complaining of suffering fromdry hothands and feet, so much so as to be an ever-present source of discom-fort to him. Sweating freely on exertion from head and body, niot theslightest moisture is to be fouind on the extremities. The skin on them ap-pears to be perfectly healthy, and he is in very good health himself. I havetried a ntumber of external applications, and, internallv, diaphoreties, and re-frigerants, but withouit the slightest effect in causing perspiration, or remov-in the sensation of burning heat.

shall be much obliged by any suggestions.-Yours truly,A MEMBER.

She isabout ten years old, and without the use of her lower limbs, having been thevictim of infantile paralysis from the first year of her life. The informationwould greatly oblige,-Yours truly, THos. MI. WATT.

X.-The employment of unqualified assistants is a burning question, on whichwe have repeatedly expressed our opinion, as our correspondent will find ifhe has followed the discussions during the past year. The General MedicalCouncil has issued a report on the sutbject, of which a copy may be obtainedat their printers, Messrs. Spottiswoode and Co., 30, Parliament Street, S.W.,and which would probably interest our corresponident to read.
