76037 HOMEOPATHIC REVIEW. EDITED BY ALFRED C. POPE, M.D., AND D. DYCE BROWN, M.D. VOL. XXIX. London: E. GOULD & SON, 59, MOORGATE STREET. 1885. INDEX. Reviews of Books will be found only under the word "Reviews; Societies and Associations under the word "Homœopathic." at once came up: Should homœopathic physicians be admitted to membership in the Congress? The first programme of a committee of the American Medical Association was to recognise all legal practitioners. But this decision was provisionally reversed in a conference in New Orleans, and formally so in a subsequent meeting in Chicago, where the vote was that no homœopaths should be let in. More than that, allopaths, who were known to favour association with homoeopaths in consultation over patients, were rigidly excluded in the make-up of the committees and sections. This shut out such men as Fordyce, Barker and Shrady, of Gen. Grant's doctors, besides Loomis, Jacobi, Roosa and other allopathic champions of a liberal code. Resignations have been numerous by men who accepted positions under the original plan; many European celebrities have written to say that they will not come if the code question is taken into account, and the outlook is that the Congress may not be held. The committee on organisation is holding meetings in this city, but thus far without any progress toward harmony. So far as can be judged, the allopaths are about equally divided. A compromise seems impossible. The medical associations of Boston, Charleston, Baltimore, Philadelphia and California have resolved not to participate in the Congress if restrictions are enforced against doctors holding legal diplomas. The old code party is powerful, however, and inclined to rule or ruin.—St. Louis, Globe-Democrat. THE HEALTH OF NICE. THE following statement appears in The Nice Times of the 8th ultimo: "A general meeting of the doctors and consuls at Nice was held this week under the presidency of the Prefect, M. Lagrange de Langre. The following declaration was drawn up, approved and signed, for the purpose of combating the false statements being circulated as to the sanitary state of Nice. Previous to the drawing up of the declaration, some interesting remarks were made by Doctors Albert Thaon, Maurin, and Bernard Arnulphy: "The undersigned medical medical men all practising at Nice, hereby certify that beween the 25th of August and the 15th of October, a condition of health of a particular character prevailed at Nice, owing to the increase in the number of deaths caused by gastro-abdominal disorders. A few cases showed symptoms of cholera, although, in reality, there was no centre of infection; consequently nothing that could be termed epidemic. Since October 15th the health of Nice has been excellent.'
