DR. ULLMANN ON THE PREVENTIVE INOCULATIONS INHYDROPHOBIA.

Dr. Ullmann, assistant of Professor Albert, has carried outPasteur’s treatment at the surgical clinics for some twelvemonths, during which time 118 persons have been treated.Of these, three persons died from hydrophobia; the othersremained healthy. Dr. Ullmann is also carrying out experi-mental researches on animals, and at the last meeting of theVienna Society of Physicians a preliminary note was readby him containing the following conclusions: (1) Accordingto his experiments thus far, the animals do not succumb fromrabies in consequence of preventive inoculations; (2) certainanimals can be rendered refractory against rabies by pre-ventive inoculations; (3) the statistics of preventive inocu-lations made by him in human beings are also favourable tothe value of Pasteur’s method.

THE PHOSPHATE OF LIME TREATMENT IN LOCAL

TUBERCULOSIS.

Dr. Kolischer was at first of the opinion that it might bepossible to produce calcification in tuberculous tissues bylocal application of strong solutions of lime. Strong solu-tions of calcic chloride, ot carbonate of lime in water con-taining carbonic acid, and of neutral phosphate of lime incommon salt solution, were used without result, till HerrErnst Freund, who had some time ago discovered thepresence of cellulose in tuberculosis, proposed to use

primary phosphate of lime or calcium monophosphite,which is prepared by dissolving phosphate of lime in water,by slowly adding phosphoric acid. The following prescrip-tions are used:-

1. For injections (containing 1 per mille phosphoric acid) :R. Calc. phosphor. neutr., 5.0 grammes; aq. destill., 50-0.Deinde sensim adde: acid. phosp. dil., 0’6; aq. dest. quant.suf. ad 100’0. 2. For impregnating the gauze (containing1 per cent. phosphoric acid) :—R. Calc. phosphor. neutr.,50’0; aq. destill., 500’0. Deinde sensim adde : acid. phos-phor. q. s. ut fiat solutio perfecta, filtra. Adde : acid. phos-phor. dil., 60-0 (120-0); aq. destill. q. s. ad 1000-0.

In torpid cases a stronger solution for impregnating thegauze is used, containing 120’0 grammes acid. phosphorici(instead of 60’0)..As I am informed by Herr Freund, herecommended this solution as a result of chemical analysisof the blood of tuberculous persons, carried out by himselfin Professor Ludwig’s laboratory. It seems that phosphoricacid is the real active principle of this solution.Vienna, June llth.

They drew the attention of the Chancellor of theExchequer to the fact that the local support given to uni-versity colleges in many of the largest centres of popula-tion in England has been inefficient, and they urged thatthese colleges have strong claims for Government aidto supplement local efforts, precedents for such grantsbeing already established by the aid given to colleges inScotland, Ireland, and Wales. It was pointed out thatWales, with three centres and an aggregate populationwithin twenty miles of those centres of 452,000, enjoysgrants of .613.000; Scotland, with five centres (1,260,000),.616,075; and Ireland, with three centres (400,000), 24,500;while England, with ten centres where local collegeges exist,with an aggregate population in the neighbourhood of nearly12,000 000, receives absolutely nothing from Government.The claims of these colleges are based on their services ineducation in literature and pure science, higher technicalinstruction, and higher popular education. The deputationsuggested that such grants should be applied partly in directgrants and partly in exhibitions. Mr. Goscben assured themembers of the deputation of his deep interest in the educa-tional question, and that their views would have everyconsideration.

MEDICAL NOTES IN PARLIAMENT.

Sanitary Condition of Dublin Czrrisor.IN the House of Lords on the 23rd ult. Earl Beauchamp moved for a

nominal return of all cases of febrile and respiratory disease which hadoccurred in the Dublin garrison smce Jan. 1st, 1881, distinguishing ineach case the barracks.-Lord Harris reminded the noble Earl thatbarracks were about to be erected on another site in Dublin, and 15,000had been taken for that service in the estimates for the present year. Assoon as the whole of the ground was obtained-there had been somelegal difficulties with regard to a part of it.-cavalry barracks would beerected, and the Royal Barracks, Dublin, with regard to whichthere might possibly be some suspicion of insanitary condition, wouldbe remodelled and used only for infantry. In the barrack annualestimates of this year a sum of j61089 was taken for specificimprovements at the Royal Barracks, and R600 for various sanitarypurposes in the Dublin barracks generally.-The Earl of Carnarvontrusted that the Government would apply themselves to remedy theinsanitary condition of the Royal Barracks, the question being one of amost serious character.-Viscount Powerscourt agreed with the noblelord, the late Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, as to the state of the RoyalBarracks. He knew as a fact that the barracks in Dublin had for manyyears been in a very insanitary condition.-The motion was agreed to.

Dog Regulations.In the House of Commons, in reply to Sir J. Commerell, Mr. Matthews

stated that the rabies order of 1886 enabled local authorities from time Ito time to make regulations as they thought fit for the regulation ofdogs. Such regulations, when made, only applied to the district of thelocal authority by whom they were made. The anomaly in the suburbsof the borough of Southampton, which were in the county of Hants, bywhich on one side of the street dogs might roam about unmuzzled andnot under control, while on the other side of the street such liberty wasan offence, was apparent, but there was no means of avoiding it, as hehad no power to alter the boundaries of local authorities.

Coal Mines Regulation Bill.The Housewent into committee upon this Bill, resuming the discussion

of the amendment to Clause 8, the object of the amendment being to ex-clude girls from the operation of the clause, and so to prevent them frombeing employed. After a long discussion the amendment was rejectedby 188 votes to 112. It was decided that no boy under twelve years ofage nor girl under fourteen should be permitted to work. Other elauses,one of which rendered it compulsory for the owner, agent, or managerof every mine to keep a register of all boys, girls, and women employedin connexion with the mine, were passed, and progress reported.On the 24th ult., the House again went into Committee on the Bill,

and several clauses relating to the position and duties of the checkweighers, the position of the shafts or outlets, the adequate provision ofappliances for ventilation and apparatus for ascending and descendingthe shafts were adopted. A discussion then followed on the manage-ment of mines, which was not concluded at the hour when by the rulesof the House the debate stood adjourned.

Vaccination.

On the 24th ult., in reply to Mr. Bradlaugh, Mr. Ritchie said that hewas aware that in several towns, parts of towns, and villages, associa-tions for the abolition of compulsory vaccination have issued forms inwhich questions have been submitted with reference to vaccination, butno precise information as to the mode in which the inquiry was con-ducted or in how many cases the persons applied to declined to fillup the forms distributed by those associations. No doubt the re-

turns which have been made by the associations referred to representthat a considerable majority of those who have thought fit to fillup the forms have stated that they were opposed to vaccination.No one was more desirous than himself that vaccination should be per-formed with due care, and he might mention that revised instructionsto vaccinators had been recently issued with a view to securing everyrequisite precaution in vaccination. For reasons which he had morethan once stated in the House it was not his intention to propose a pub-lic inquiry.--In reply to Mr. Channing, Mr. Ritchie stated that he wasaware that in some towns the provisions of the Vaccination Acts werenot carried out in the same entirety as in others, but that was no reasonwhy they should alter the law as it now exists. It was not his intention in connexion with the Local Government Bill or otherwise, to propose Iany alteration of the existing law as to vaccination. l.

Holyhead Union.In answer to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Ritchie said that it was the case that Dr.

Harvey, who was acting as a medical inspector of the Local GovernmentBoard, visited the Holyhead Union with a view of reporting on itssanitary condition and the prevalence in the district of enteric feverand diphtheria. The Board had not declined to sanction the appoint-ment of the medical officer of health, but they were clearly of opinionthat he ought to devote more time to his duties than heretofore.Dr. Harvey is not now in the service of the Board, and since notice ofthe question was given Mr. Ritchie had been unable to communicatewith him as to the precise time devoted to his inspection and the numbeof houses visited by him. There was no reason whatever to doubt thathe devoted as much time to the inquiry as was necessary to enable himto ascertain the facts required to be reported to the Board as to thesanitary condition of the district. The sanitary authority have appliedto the department for a copy of Dr. Harvey’s report, and the Board onthe 14th ulb. furnished them witp a full copy of so much of the reportas referred to the sanitary condition of the district.
