Vol. 35 No. 3 • March 2019 President’s Letter From President John Schultz: The board has decided to have next year’s Burns Nicht at Woodland Hills on Burns’s birthday, January 25, 2020. The finan- cial results of the last few Burns Nichts has taken a toll on the Memphis Scottish Society’s finances. There appears to be enough Memphis in the treasury to allow one more try. Today social media is a Scottish great way to get the word out, but the Memphis Scottish Society’s web site (memphisscots.com) and Facebook page only reach people Society, Inc. looking for it. The key is for members on Facebook to share the Buns Nicht post when it becomes available.

This is not as straightforward as it may seems for the Editor still has to edit those scripts from the spoken to the written word, and then to type them all into the computer (unless, occasionally, a disc and a hard copy printout is supplied by the speaker). If contributors of reviews, notes, etc, could also supply their material on disc, it would be much appreciated and, not least, probably save a lot of errors in transmission.

Early Scottish Hospitals and Regulations for Isolation 3I

EARLYSCOTTISH HOSPITALS AND REGULATIONS FOR ~SOLAT~ON IT has already been mentioned that the early hospitals were connected with religious foundations, and that those who carried out the treatment of the sicli in them were at first clerics. It should be remembered that the nature of a mediaval hospital and the diseases treated there were different from those found in hospitals as they exist at the present day. In the first place, hospitals were not generally intended for the treatment of acute disease. For one thing, means of transport was difficult, and a patient suffering from such a disease as acute pneumonia could not be transported to hospital on horseback unless it happened that lie took ill at thc very gate of a monastery. In tlir: second place, thc early stages of chronic disease were not recognised. Thus, thcre was no means of diagnosing valvular disease of the heart, as such, before the end of the 18th century, and persons suffering from this condition would not be regarded as subjects for treatment until their condition was so advanced that the case might be classed as one of " dropsy." Similarly, diseases of the kidneys could hardly be recognised with exactness before Bright's treatisc of 1827. If it be true that syphilis did not occur, in a severe form at least, before 1494, many diseases such as locomotor ataxia, general paralysis and several other nervous conditions, must have been non-existent in the Middle Ages. Speaking generally, therefore, only persons who had been so disabled as to bc quite unfit for work and active life formed tlie class from which hospital patients were drawn in mediaeval times.
