INFUSION OF MYRTLE IN LEUCORRHOEA.-Dr. Delioux de Savignac recommends this as a useful and agreeable injection in leucorrhoea. The berries or leaves, containing both essential oil and tannin, are the best parts of the plant for this purpose. From ten to fifteen grammes should be infused in a litre of boiling water, and, if powerful astringent action is desired, from twenty to thirty grammes may be used. The

injection should be used cold or tepid, and in large quantities (three or four litres), and thrown up as high as possible. The application is much liked by women on account of its pleasant odour.-Révue Medico-Photographique, October.

SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTION OF CARBOLIC ACID IN TRAUMATIC ERYSIPELAS.-Dr. Hirschberg relates the case of a slaughterman who accidentally cut his upper arm, the wound being about five inches long, and penetrating the muscles. A good deal of venous hæmorrhage followed. On the second day a bad attack of erysipelas of the arm came on. A twoper-cent. solution of carbolic acid was injected subcutaneously at the upper boundary of the erysipelas, and next day all traces of erysipelas had disappeared. The injections were repeated five times within the next three days, and the wound healed far more rapidly and with much less suppuration than could have been expected.-Berlin Woch., Nov. 30.

NOTES, QUERIES, AND REPLIES.

Be that questioneth much shall learn much.-Bacon.

C. R., Liverpool.-About the bad taste of the advertisements there can be no doubt, nor about the puffing character of the Sunday exhibition; but no licensing body can "make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." The whole is humiliating to men who practise medicine as a profession, not as a trade. We have not seen the lecture you speak of, but if you send it to the Royal College of Surgeons they will judge its character. The Oxford degree to which you allude is not a medical one. Lithotomist, Wimpole-street.-The following are the lines:"One day the surveyor, with a sigh and a groan, Said, "Doctor, I'm dying of gravel and stone!" The doctor replied, 'This is true, then, though oddWhat kills a surveyor 's a cure for a road.'"

Stu lens-Apothecaries anciently dealt in sweetmeats, spices, and confectionery; they were first legally established as dispensers of drugs by edict of Frederick II., in the thirteenth century. The apothecaries of London were incorporated by James I., 1606, and united with the grocers; incorporated as a separate company by James II., December 6,

1615.

Gabel.-St. George's Hospital, Hyde-park-corner, was instituted October 19, 1733.

P. M. E.-Chloroform was discovered in 1832. It was first used by Dr. Simpson, of Edinburgh, as an anesthetic agent in 1848.

D. D. Wootton.-1. Yes. 2. By the 32 Henry VIII., cap. 40, 1540, the members of the College of Physicians had expressly reserved to them the right to practise surgery.

Clough, jun.-Alehouses are mentioned in the Laws of Ina, A.D. 728, and have been under legislative regulations for the last 400 years. Ethelred.-The medicinal qualities of the waters at Epsom were discovered in 1618; these are well known as "Epsom Salts." Medicines in 1864 and 1874.-As showing how little the remedies most valued change as time rolls on, the following comparison of a selected six in 1864 and in the present year will no doubt be read with some interest, and perhaps imitated at many professional parties at this festive season. A few evenings ago a party of ten sat down to dinner at the table of a most hospitable member of the profession, and, we believe, a member of the Court of Examiners of one of our learned institutions, where two, if not three of his guests were colleagues. During the dessert a proposition was started by Dr., that, supposing all present were limited to a selection of six articles from the Pharmacopoeia, what would they choose as being most useful, excluding compound drugs. Each visitor was required to place on a separate piece of paper those he preferred, and to hand the list to Dr., who, examining the papers, stated that a majority was in favour of the following:

Philip, Bath.-Daniel Lambert, who died June 21, 1809, weighed, a few days before his death, 52 stone 11 lbs., or 739 lbs. Chemicus.-Distillation is said to have originated amongst the inhabitants of Northern Europe. It was, with many other arts connected with chemical science, introduced into Spain by the Moors about 1150.

J. F. B.-The first printed book on midwifery was published by Eucharius Roesslin in 1513. The invention of the forceps was made by Dr. Paul Chamberlen in 1610.

VITAL STATISTICS OF LONDON.

Cauford.-The Medical Council was established by Act of Parliament 21 and 22 Vic., cap. 90, August 2, 1858. Sir Benjamin Brodie was elected the first President, November, 1858.

G. Ralph.-A charter of incorporation was granted to the Antiquaries' Society, London, November 2, 1751. The Antiquaries' Society of Scotland was founded in 178).

UNPAID LABOUR.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MEDICAL TIMES AND GAZETTE.

SIR,-The Registrar of Births and Deaths for my district has called on me to-day, presenting me with a large supply of forms of medical certificates for the registration of the cause of death (under the Births and Deaths Registration Act, 1874), with a request that they must always be strictly filled up in accordance with the new instructions. I have read those instructions, and also the memorandum on the first page, stating that the heads of the medical profession approve of this form of certificate, etc. Doubtless the body of the profession feel equally interested in supplying useful records of facts; but why, in the name of all that is fair and reasonable, do not the heads of the profession use their influence with the heads of the Government to provide some remuneration for this extra tax upon their more needy brethren? I am, &c., Hurstbourne Tarrant, Andover,

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean reading of the barometer last week was 29'69 in. The lowest was 29'09 in. at the beginning of the week, and the highest 30'04 in. on Friday morning.

The figures for the English and Scottish towns are the numbers enumerated in April, 1871, raised to the middle of 1874 by the addition of three years and a quarter's increase, calculated on the rate which prevailed between 1861 and 1871. The population of Dublin is taken as stationary at the number enumerated in April, 1871.
