NOTES FROM: THE LONDON DISTRICT.- FAREWELL DINNER TO COLONEL SIR DAvID BRUCE, C.B., F.R.S. On Wednesday, October 25, Colonel Risk and the members of the Royal Army Medical Corps Mess, London, gave a farewell dinner to Colonel Sir David Bruce, C.B., F.R.S., who was leaving. for Nyasaland on November 9 as President of a Commission, inaugurated by the Royal Society, for the further Investigation of Sleeping Sickness. In addition to ·Si.r David Bruce, three members of the Royal Army Medical Corps are serving on t.his Commission, l\1:ajor D. Harvey, Captain A. E. Hamerton, D.S.O., and Staff-Serjeant A. Gibbons. Lady Bruce is also accompanying the expedition. . Ninety-one officers and guests were present, and among the guests were Surgeon General Sir Alfred Keogh, Surgeon-General A. M. Branfoot, Sir John Rose Bradford and Dr. Louis C. Parkes. The Director-General proposed the health of Sir David Bruce in felicitous terms; http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ he also included the name of Lady Brupe, paying a tribute to their splendid work in the cause of science during the past twenty years. Colonel Bruce replied, and gave an interesting sketch of the objects of the Com mission. He said, "For years we have been prophesying that sleeping sickness would never spread beyond about 10° of south latitude, since the tsetse fly (Glossina palpalis) is not found south of this line. But, alas! for the prophets, sleeping sick nesshas broken out in North-east Rhodesia, and in Nyasaland, where there are no G. palpalis, but many of another tsetse fly, the G. morsitans. Now our first duty on arriving in Nyasaland will be to discover how the infection is conveyed in these cases. If by G. morsitans, then we may dread a further extension of the disea.se down as far south as the Transvaal and Zululand. Another important point to make out will be the true nature of ~hisdisease. Is it the ordinary sleeping sickness spread from the Congo? Or is it a form of trypanosome disease which is indigenous to the coun:try, and which has. simply escaped notice up to. the present? If it is true sleeping sickness, on September 25, 2021 by guest. why has the Trypano8oma gambiense changed into a new species, the T. rhodesiense ? "Another chief objeot of the Commission wiIlbe to find out what oonnection, if any, exists between the wild game and trypanosome disease of man and animals. There has been a great deal of discontent among the settlers on aocount of. the number of wild animals and tsetse flies about, and they think, rightly or wrongly, that if the wild animals were less numerous the tsetse flies would also disappear. On the results J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-17-06-16 on 1 December 1911. Downloaded from 146 Qfour ;work, then, the drawing up of future Ga'1le PrEjservation Acts may 'to, some extent depend. To do this work a stationary camp with laboratory and, dwelling JlUts for the Commission will be necessary. The site of this camp is important ; it. should be in a healthy situation, and n9t exposed at any time of the year to the presence of tsetse fly. The camp shculd also be within easy reach of sleeping sickness cases, tsetse flies, and wild game. For example, in Zululand, my laboratory was placed' on the top ,of . the Ubombo mountain, some 1,500 ft. above thesurrouuding country, At 'the foot of the hill, within two hours' walk, tsetse fly swarmed; and there was also a large number of animals, such as buffalo, wildebeeste, koodoo, &c, I have. just receIved a letter from Captain Hamerton saying that a site for a camp has been fixed upon. It is on a low hill, called Kasu Hill, in Angonaland. It is about 200 miles northpf Zomba, the seat of Government in N yasaland, and 25 miles west of the lake. The low c?untry round about swarms with tsetse flies and wild animals, and the sleeping slCkness cases are within easy distance. " Some people think that this sort of work is not the function of the Royal Army Medical Corps. Our work is regarded as consisting only of the treatment of the sick soldier; I do not. agree with them. In our Service there .is room for the scientific investigator as well as for the clinician. " I have always wished that our Service would develop into a Scientific Corps on the lines of the Royal Engineers. When any scientific engineering work is proposed in any part of our Empire, an engineer ·officer is often entrusted with it. So, in the same way, if ,any investigation' or research work in preventive medicine is wanted in any :part of the British Empire, I should like our Corps to be applied to for men to carry It out. ' " We must remember that our chief function as army doctors should be prevention, ~ot treatment.. For myself, I have little patience with fL policy that waits until a man IS ill before helping him. Think what Parkes, the greatest scientist we have ever, had, Protected by copyright. has doue for the soldier. Look what we have already achieved in preventive work. In India, enteric fever has been almost extinguished in consequence. of ·scientific research. Think of the brilliant result of the Commission on Malta fever, composed mainly of Service officers, which at a blow blotted out some 70,000 days per annum of severe illness in that, island. Ano~her Commission, also composed of our officers, had by research so learnt 'the distribution and mode of spread of sleeping sickness in Uganda, that the administration could stamp out the disease in that country and at almost no expense. Sir Apolo Kagwa, the Prime Minister, has just written saying he thinks that no fresh cases are occurring in that country. It is true that this has been done by sacrificing some of the most fertile land in Uganda, and allowing it to lapse into jungle. But it is to be hoped that in a short time the old sleeping-sickness areas will be purged and become healthy' again, and so allow the people to return to their old ~- " " From what I have said itis evident that the Commission will have plenty of research work to carry out in Nyasaland. ' "I am much gratified by the flattering expressions which have fallen from the lips of http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ the Director-General, and the kind way in which you have received the toast of my health." NOTES FROM BLOEMFONTEIN.-Major H. B. Fawcus writes: "A very suc cessful athletic sports meeting was held here on October 12. The following account is taken from the Bloemjontein Post of October 13:- , " , The Annual Sports Meeting of the No. 24 Company of the Royal Army Medical Corps was held at Tempe yesterday afternoon. The boisterous weather of the I1~orning aroused fears that the eagerly awaited event would be robbed of much of its enjoymept through unfavourable conditions, but except for a slight dust storm there were no adverse influences and the sports were in every way a great success. . , '~ , The precision and smoothness with which the varied items of the programme were carried out reflected the highest credit upon all concerned.

Another event which added variety to the programme and aroused some interest was a whippet race. '" The prizes were presented by Mrs. Lambkin.' " NOTES FROM JAMAICA.-Serjeant-Major F. C. Cross, writes: "Captain H. C. Sidgwick has gone on leave to England on completion of tour, and his departure is a source of regret to all with whom he came in contact. http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ "Our Senior Medical Officer, Colonel Trevor, and Major F. G. Richards, lately promoted, proceed home this season, after three years service on the station. "The home-going draft this ~eason will probablyObe very small, as Staff-Serjeant Smith, Corporal Russell, and Private Weight have applied for, and obtained, per mission to remain on the island one more year, thus reducing the English contingf;lnt to two N.C.Os. and one man. . "None of the Company would be surprised to see some of them return next season, as Jamaica acts as a powerful magnet to those who have once served on the isle. "Military cricket out here this season has received an impetus by the addition of Captain S" Field, R.A.M.C., who, playing either for the Garrison Team or the Camp United C.C., amassed no less than 905 runs, and was responsible for the downfall of 87 wickets. . _ " The cricket season has only just come to a close, but already a scheme is afoot to ; form a new Company Cricket League, composed of the four West India Regiment on September 25, 2021 by guest. Companies, 66 Company; Royal Garrison Artillery, 44 Company, Royal Engineers, and 29 Company, Royal Army Medical Corps, and though the last named company is far andaway'the smallest numerically, we are looking forward to the contest with feeling9 of keen, and it is to be hoped not unfounded, optimism. "Dnne: again the football season has commenced its short annual existence" and, out of the six teams engaged in the senior competition, four are supplied by the J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-17-06-16 on 1 December 1911. Downloaded from 148 military element, so that again there is every possibility of the Jamaica Sj:lield finding a resting place under martial care. "Under the impression that they are themselves capable of winniI:lg the shield, the Royal Engineers have seceded from the mother team, and though weakened by this the Departmentals hope to retain the shield at Up Park Camp. "If last year's champions have been rendered less powerful by the action of the Engineers, the Royal Garrison Artillery, have also reduced their chances of becoming the season's victors; for, whereas in 1910 they ran one strong team, this time they are putting t1Vo combinations in the field, hoping by this means to transFer the venue of the trophy from Camp to Port Royal. "At the moment of writing news comes to hand that the" Departs," playing the Royal Garrison Artillery "B" team on the garrison ground at Port Royal, effected a draw, and it is confidently asserted by supporters of tbe former team, that, had not the referee made a glaring blunder in regard to an offside goal, the Royal Artillery would have suffered defeat. "The hill season has just come to a close, and those European troops who spent the summer at Newcastle have returned hale and hearty, thanks to the invigorating effects of the keen Blue·Mountain air. "The 29 Company is at the present time afflicted with an epidemic of study, for nearly every man is either attending school, studying dispensing, or reading up for some examination whose ultimate end is promotion." NOTES FROM MAURITIUS.-Serjeant·Major F. Higdon: "I am sure there are many in the Corps who will be pleased to read an account of the wedding of No. 12965 Serjeant H. E. Tyler and 1\'[iss K. M.

"The service, which was fully choral, was well rendered by a large military choir, conducted by Lance-Corporal George, R.A.M.C. ; the officiating clergymen were the Rev. F. J. P. Jellicoe, Chaplain to the Forces, and the Rev. S. A. D'Avray, of St. Clement's. The bride was given away by Mr. J. Thompson, Serjeant M. Ward, R.A.M.C., acting as best man. "The bride and bridegroom left the church to the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, passing under an arch of swords to the motor which conveyed them to the Town Hall, Curepipe, where the reception was held, and about 120 guests sat. down to a breakfast supplied by the "Flore Mauricienne" that left nothing to be desired. After the usual toasts had been proposed and acknowledged, the spacious ballroom provided recreation for lovers of the terpsicborean art, excellent music being provided by a part of the band of the 3rd Royal Fusiliers.
