One nightwvas spent in:a lian-uinocl. in an Indlian's hlut, and here Iwas attacked by large numibers of bed-b4ugs :which causedme intolerable distress.

In contrast to tllecasC of X., thlere lhas been no return of the swellings. Dr.Bvi-o7 i Bram-iwell, in hiis Clinical Stttdlies, vol. v, p. 375,

Tile characteristic features of the dlisease are: (1) The occur-renice at irregular intervals,-usually witlotht any obvious excitingcauise, of (a) oeenematouLs swellings-in various parts of tthe body,an(d (b) of attacks of abdominii-al pain anid vomniting; and (2) thefact that the disease is hereditarv.

I klnow of no evidence of this comnplaint in any nmemberof.mbly family, neitlher did I suffer from the severe visceralpienomena said to be . so clharacteristic of this somewhatrare affection.

Dr. Byrom Bramwell also says (p. 396):Thle disase is often fatal and uisually (? always) k-ills by im-

plfcatihig thie throat ith6 prodluctioil of oedemna glottidis). Sofar as I know, n-o treatmeilt hiitherto has been successfuil.In conclusion, I would lilke to cldraw attention to the fact

MEDICAL, SURGICAL, OBSTETRICA1L.INFECTION FROM CLOTHES IN ENTERIC FEVER

AND OTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASES.FOnRTUJNATELY inocUiiation is so successftul against ente5icfever tlat tllere is niot the samue fear of the spread of thedisease as formiierly; but tlherc are otlher contagious andinfectious dliseases against wljiclh at present w%e lhave no'meains of relncdering imlen- immn-ie. It is to call attenttionto a possible cauLse of the spreading of infectious (liseases,a cause forgotten or not tlhoughlt of in the lhurrly of pre-paiations for war, that I wvrite to relmiiind miedical officersw.itlh troops of a practice l01ich prevailed in tlle Carlv partof tlhe Boer war, and, perlhaps, occasionally now-thdat is,the returning to men leavinog hos;pital of their clothesfromi the pack store unsterilized. On the occasion of anoutbreak of enteric fever in a rcst canmp I found tlleclotiJes, great-coats, etc.,of men whlio lhad retLrined fromlhospital convalescent after sufferina from enteric fever onslhelves in thie huit alongside the remains of food, hliddenaway, suclh as bread, buitter, jam, etc. I found that theseclotlhes lhad been worn by the men whilst they were beiDgtaken to the lhospital. On arrival at the hospital theclotlhes were rolled up and placed in the pack store. Onthe men leaving the hospital convalescent, the clotlheswere given back to tllem just as they had been placedl intlhe pack store. The result of my report was that anorder was issued for the sterilization of all clotlhes beforebeing returned to the lmen frolml tlhe pack store. Sometime after I investigated anotlher epidemlic of entericarising in a rest camp. In tllis case I found tllat a luanhad come from an out-of-the-way lhospital, where therewas no means of sterilizing clothles. He lhad sufferedfrom enteric; Lis clotlhes lhad been talen from hiim onarrival at the lhospital and retutrned to himwn-itlhoutsterilization. He came to the rest canlp; tlle result waasseveral eases of enteric in the rest camiip.At tlle time I reported these cases the spread of enteric

bv any m-leans except water anid millk was doutbted, blut theexperiments of Majors Firth anid 'Iorrochs, made later, aswvell as the fact that epidenmics of enteric fever have arisenfrom infected clothes and blankllets, lhave removed alldoubts. and it is noow admlitted that enteric fever may be

spread by infected clotlhes and flies as well as by waterandcl mill.

NOTE ON THE AGGLUTINATION OF THEMENINGOCOCCUS.

(Fromn Mobile Laboratory No. 1, G.H.Q.)IT is the experience of all bacteriologists who have worliedwitlh the meningococcus that it exhibits very variableagglutination reactions, even to the extent of refusing toagglutinate with an anti-serum prepared from the samiestrain. Our experience witlh a rabbit that was immunizedwith known strains isolated direct from tlle cerebro-spinalfluid is that thje strains that were used to inoculate ar.bbit sometimes fail to be agglutinated by the serum oltlhe same rabbit. Tlie ability to use the direct agglutiDa-tion metlhod when searching for tlle organism on serumyiagar plates grown from tlle tlhroats of contacts is sovaluable, and saves so much time ancd labour, that it isof the first imnportance to be able to place reliance on tlleconstancy of tlle reaction.The explanation of the inconstancy of the agglutina-

tion reaction that -we offer is as followvs: Tlle mleniingo-coccus is an organism tllat very quickly shows involu-tion formns in culture. Indeed, tlhe presence of theseforms, slhown by irreguilarity of staining, is of the greatestaid in tlle identification of the origanism. It is pro-bable that tlhese involution forims are due to autolysisby an intracellular proteolytic enzynme. Wlhatever theorigin of tllese forms, their presence in a culture lhas beenfound by us largely to upset tlle agglutination -process.The folloiving experiment-is given in support of tle

statement. that irregularities. in agglutinating are veryprone to occur in old cultures, and that. these irregularitiesdisappear wlhen a younlg culture of the same organism isemployed:

ROYAL ACAI)DEMY OF MEDICINE IN IRIELAND.SECTION OF MEDICINE.

AT a mCeeting on Marchi 5th, Dr. W. G. Sn11TH -in tllc clair,Dr. C. M. O'BRITEN showed a boy, aged 13, wlho h'ad sufferedfroml -a very pronlounced forimi of Lutpts n1on7-excdens fortlle last ninie years. Altlhouglh it was very widespread, theface of the pxatient was practically free; the mnucous uein-bralies were also uinaffected. Wheni admlitted onl October8th, 1914, the weight was 6 st. 4 lb.; lhe was now 11 lb.Ileavier. Tle patienlt was under treatmilent at tlhe LondonHospital for allost tlhree years, gettina one lhour's expo-sure of Fiuisen light oni five days of thie week. SinceOctober 8thi lhe hiad lhad tlhree sittiln(s per weeli of seventynminutes eacil. The most that could be claimiied for thetreatmientt was tlhat it stopped tllh spreadl. Dr. E. J.WATSONread a paper onl the X-ray treatmenlt of ringwvorm. TneCHAIRMIAN said hie tlhougllt thle whlole point of x-ray treat-mielnt was thaat tllis metlhod lhad reduced to weeks a periodof treatmllent wlichl wa's formerly m-leasured in 1m1lonths.Dr. HARVEY coUld support Dr. Watson's statemenit thatoccasionally cures occurred.witlhout epilation being CO111-plete. Dr. C. A. O'BRIEN regretted tllat Dr. Watsoni didnot refer to hiis expeTrience of childreln at the aae of 3, ashie considered it a great crux as to %vhletller they should betreated or nlot, anid if tlley were treated how it slhould bedone. He hiimlself lhad m1-ade it a sine qitoi 7non7 before treatinga clild un(ler the age of 3 to get the consenit of tile parentsin writing(,. Ile adopted tlhis JrOCecdUrc as it lhad been

suggested in some cases treated in London that the expo-sure to x rays lhad some effect on the brains of a child.Dr. M. J. HAYES said he wvas always cautious in the use ofold tubes in tlle treatment of ringworm, as one couild notbe sure of their vagaries. Tubes which hiad been used formany hours in a period of montlhs would give off raysgreater than one would expect. Tllis he could not explain,but lie lhad experienced it on one or two occasions. Hehad used cataplhoresis witlh copper sulphate ions, but thiswas somewhat troublesome, and was more painiful. Dr.E. J. WATSON replied. Dr. W. M. CROFTON read a paper onthe Pr ophylactic inzoculatioz against tuberculosis. Hesaid that practically every one who attained to adult yearsgot infected withl tuberculosis, but only a proportion ofthose infected developed the disease to a serious extent.The recovery of the majority was due to a normal resist-ance; therefore, the problem would be solved if the resist-ance of the muinority could be made and kept normnal. Thleonly metlhod was to render tlle soil unsuLitable by proplly-lactic inoculation. T.R. was used, dissolved in liquidparaffin containiing 2 per cent. benzoyl chloride. Tlle dosesare given at intervals of a week, increasing ten timiies eachadministration. Tlhey began at one-millionth of a milli-gram, and rose to one-tlhousandtlh for infants. Ten timesthese doses miglht be given to older children, and for adultsan extra dose of one-tenth milligram might be given. Thetest of success would be the reduction of case incidenceand of mortality. Tlle experiinent was innocuous, clieap,and easily carried out. Dr. MOORHEAD said that lie hadcome to tlle conclusion that tuberculin as a proplhylacticremedy against tuberculosis was niot of much value. Pro-fessor COLLINGWOOD pointed out tllat one attack of tuber-culosis did not produce immunity against anotlher, butrather predisposed to it; tllerefore, one could niot arguethat a dose of tuLberculin could produce immunity. Tlledebate was continued by the CHAIR'MAN and Dr. LAw.

SOCIETY OF 1MEDICAL OFFICERS OF I1EALTH.AT a mCeeting on March 12tl, Dr. HERBERT JONES, Presi-dent, in tlle cllair, a paper oni tlei Etiology of diphtheriawas read by Dr. W. G. WILLOUGHBY, in w%ihich lhe dealtwitlh thle incidence of the disease on differenit soils. Aswitlh otlher diseases, though1 an individtual cotld iiot lhavethe disease witlhout the bacillus, many individuals liar-boured tlle bacillus wvitlhout sufferinig from the specificdisease; until the otlher conditions besides the bacilltus ofdiplhtlheria wvere niecessary for the production of tlle diseaseor whiat caused tlle bacillus to becomc pathogenetic wereascertained, the disease wouLld not be stamiiped out. Dr.Hualg Snell lhad giveni statistics wllicll seemed to slhowtllat those districts were better off botlh as to prevalenceaiid fatality tllat did not take diplhtheria cases into lios-pitals. Dr. Willouglhby considered that tlie trLue explana-tioii was district iinmnunity and that diplhtlheria was ofsLtcll varied inici(lence according to locality that olne dis-trict could not faim-ly be comlpared witlh another. He gavecomparative figuLres of tlle relative incidence of over 1,000cases of dliphtlheria occurring during the past twenty yearsin lhouses of the same class occupied by persoiis of tllesamue s.ocial positioni and situated respectively on alluvium,on thte beaclh, and on the chall. Amuong the houses on thealluvium 46 per cent. were affected and 56 per cent. of tllecases occurred; amiiong those on tlle beach 24 per cenit. ofthe hlouses were affected and 21 per cent. of tlle casesoccurred, and aml-ong tlle houses oIn the chalk 30 per cent.of tlle lhouses were affected and 23 per cent. of ttie casesoccurred. Dr. J. T. C. NASH considered thlat secondattacks with no clinical symptoimus niight account forepidemuies. l)r. J. J. PATERSON said it vas not enough tohiave a tlhroat and tlle specific organlism; tllere must alsobe an activating factor.

LIVERPOOL.THE untimely cleatlh of David Moore Alexanider on March18tl, from pnietum-lonia, has removed one of muclh prom-lisein the rainks of researchl anid scielntific medicine in Liver-pool. Only 37 years of age, lhe received hiis primnary andprofessional education in the city of hlis birtlh, and graduatedM.13.Vict. in 1901, and M.D.Liverp. in 1906. He was clhiefof tlle inocuilation departmiienit at the Royal Soutlherni Hos-pital; Assistant Medical Superintendent, Magbull Epi-leptic Colony; and Assistant Lecturer on Bacteriology inthle University of Liverpool. He had contributed severalarticles based onl original observation. Amonig these weretlec bacteriology of tlhe rcspiratory infections; the uisesand abuises of vaccinie tlherapy; the specific treatmilen't ofhjay fever; the bacteriology of tlle intestines. His mostiirwportant wvokl is contained in thle Supplemientts to tlleReports of tlhe Medical Officer of the Local GovernmiientBoard, and h-is -work was largely concerned witlh tljebacteriology of epi(lemnic diarrhloea and the part played bythle donmestic fly in its causation.At the timne of hiis fatal illness Dr. Moore Alexander was

oceupied in inoculating soldiers against typlhoid, a suibjectwitlh wlichl he was thoroughly conversalnt. He had justreceived the appointment of bacteriologist to the LiverpoolCity Mercllants' Mobile Hospital, wlichl hias n0owY left forthe front. At the tirmie of hiis deatlh lie was secretary totlle pathological nmeetinias of the Liverpool Medical Inisti-tution, and, out of vespect, the niectiDg of Marelh 18tll vasadjouLrned.

Dr. Moore Alexander was tlhe only son of Dr. WilliamAlexander. He leaves a widow and one clhild. Incllaracter lie was quiet and unassumiing, and as recreationlie devoted his holidays to fisliin(. lie leaves belhind thememory of a lhard-working patlhologist and an amiablemedical maan, mutclh appreciated by a largc. circle offriends.

Tlhomas Rawdon Glynin received hisgeneral education at Liverpool College, and hiis medicaleducation at tlhe Universities of Camiibridge and Liverpool.He graduated in medicine in 1910, and held tlhe usualresident appointmients at the Liverpool Royal Infirmiary,andld later was elected phiysiciani to the Hospital for Con.suimaption and Diseases of tlle Clhest. His imedical careerwas tllus auspiciously beguin, but lie discovered unfortu-nately that lie was suffering from a malady which herealized would in all probability termllinate his life in a fewyears. Notlhing dauinted lie determin.ed with noble courageto pursue his daily duties, taking all rational measures topreserve his health. Until a few weeks ago he was about,anid to those unaware of the precariousness of his life hecxhibited that clieerfulness so characteristic of- him. He

became seriously ill at his father's country residence,NerqLis Hall, Flintslhire, where he passed peacefully awzayin hlis 35tlh year.

Tlhomas Rawdon Glynn has left a pleasant miemory--a companionable -ouing mnan, a staunclh friend, anid, nowthat we know lhowv hiis life lhung, so to say, on a tljread, anexample of endtlring courage, ready to do his duty untillhe could do it no longer.
