Kitchener, R.A.M.O.' The Ooroner then fully describes the circumstances under which Private Kitchener rendered first-aid to a civilian, whom he found lying unconscious, as a result of carbolic acid poisoning, on the Rochester' Recreation Ground, about 8.30 p.m., February 20. Private Kitchener endeavoured to revive the man, and finding his efforts unavailing, fetched a policeman, with whose assistance the man was carried under a lamp, and wbile the policeman went to fetch on October 2, 2021 by guest. Protected an emetic, Private Kitchener performed artificial respiration on the man, whose breathing bad stopped altogether. Respiration was re-established and vomiting took place after the emetic was administered. Eventually, the man was removed to the civil hospital in a trap. 'l.'he Ooroner then goes on to say in his letter; 'The foreman of the jury, in returning a verdict . . . . said they thought that Private Kitchener should be commended for his prompt and kindly action towards the deceased. I fully endorse this, and I here remark that Private Kitchener's conduct was in every way worthy of a true man, and refiects great credit on the Oorps to which he belongs' . . . " NOTES FROM THE DEYONPORT DISTRICT.-Major V. Davoren, R.A.M.O., writes (March 8, 1906): "I regret to announee the death at Plymouth, of Deputy Surgeon-General H. O.

"For the purpose of raising funds to provide instruments and appliances for the Military Families' Hospital at Devonport, in excess of those allowed by Government, a. very successful Cafe Chant ant was held yesterday at the Garrison Gymnasium. Long copyright. before the cafe opened at 4 p.m. the gymnasium was well filled, and as the time approached carriage after carriage rolled up, and the greatest difficulty was experienced in finding accommodation for the visitors, who comprised the elite of the neighbour hood. There were some very dainty toilettes and the room was very tastefully decorated. The tables were arranged in nine groups, each representing a regiment or corps in garrison. As the ladies who gave the tables were attired in the colours of their husbands' corps, the effect was exceedingly pretty and most pleasing. The tables were given by Oolonel and Mrs. R. B. Williams, 2nd Somerset L.I. ; Colonel and Mrs. G. J.

Ellicombe, 2nd Devon Regiment; Colonel and Mrs. L. L. Nicol, 3rd Rifle Brigade; http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ Oolonel and Mrs. W. T. Adair, RM.L.I.; Colonel and Mrs. J.

Johnston, Army Pay Department. "The Committee hoped to realise about £60 from the Cafe, and, judging by the attendance at the opening, the required amount was easily forthcoming. "An excellent vocal and instrumental concert was provided, some of the best amateur >talent in the garrison contributing. The vocalists included Mesdames Brocklehurst, Watts, and Blackham, Misses Madeleine Morrison and Exham, Major R Brocklehurst, Somersetshire L.I., and the Rev. M. Longridge, R.N. Mrs. Platt contributed violin solos, Mrs. Longridge pianoforte solos, Major H. H. Bedingfield violin selections, and Colonel Bourke performed on the bones. Miss Williams gave a recitation. The performers were one and all very favourably received. The 2nd Devon Regiment Band, under Mr.> J. W. Amers, was exceedingly popular, and at intervals provided a delightful programme of music. on October 2, 2021 by guest. Protected "The arrangements were carried out most efficiently by a Committee, consisting of Colonel Bourke, the Rev. Maurice Jones (who was unfortunately prevented from attending), Colonel and Mrs. Erskine, Major and Mrs. Bedingfield, Major and Mrs. Brocklehurst, and Captain R. J. Blackham, R.A.M.O., who undertook the duties of Secretary." NOTES FROM THE BARBADOS COMMAND.-Captain A. W. A. Irwin, RA.M.C., Acting Senior Medical Officer, writes (February 3, 1906): "The contemplated evacua· tion of Barbados and St. Lucia by the Military has at last commenced in earnest.

panies, 1st West India Regiment, from St. Lucia in December, the former proceeding home, and the latter to the West Coast of Africa. The remainder of the 1st West India Regiment (two companies) left Barbados for Sierra Leone on January 14, leaving a few details of Staff and Departments to pack up, sell off, and literally erase all remaining signs, with the exception of empty barrack blocks, of what has been at Barbados for OTer a hundred years, a small but significant military hive. The Military Hospitals at Barbados and St. Lucia were closed on January 31, and the detachment. Royal Army Medical Corps at both these islands have dwindled down to a staff of six, some having proceeded home and others to J'amaica to complete a tour of service there. . "A lamentable accident happened during the closing of the Army Medical Store here. Whilst packing the drugs, &c., for home, Sergeant-l\1:ajor Hill, R.A.M.O., late Regimental Sergeant-Major at the Depot, Royal Army Medical Corps, received a slight wound of the index finger of the right hand, which rapidly developed gangrene, neces tating almost immediate amputation of the finger and metacarpal bone. He is recovering slowly, and proceeds to Jamaica for duty on the 6th instant. "Captains Irwin and Adye-Curran embark for home on February 4. The remainder of the N.C.O.'s and men will have left the Command by February 18." NOTES FROM BLOEMFONTEIN.-Major S. F. Clark, R.A.M.C., writes (February 3, 1906): "The Duke of Connaught finished his inspection of the· cantonments by visiting the Military Hospital. He was accompanied by tbe Duchess and by Princess Patricia, who talked to most of the patients in the wards visited. Generals Maxwell, Hildyard and Jeffreys also went round with the Duke, who noted the interesting cases in the surgical wards, and who made some complimentary remarks to the Senior Medical Officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Risk, on the conclusion of his visit. "The detachment has played three cricket matches lately, the first of which ended in our' initial victory.' Our opponents were the 1st Norfolk Regiment, though we do not pretend that it was their very best team. Some good bowling by Major Hinde copyright. and' Private Rose, aided by the unusual fact that all catches were held, enabled us to get them out for 97. At one time we seemed be:;,ten, as with 8 wickets down we were still 20 runs behind, but the score crept up, and at 90 Private Wilson obliged with 4 boundaries in one over, and in the end we got to 119. The chief contributors to this total were Major Clark (49 not out), Private Wilson (19), and Lieutenant Le Bas (16). In the return we fared badly. At the last moment Major Hinde and Private vVilson were unable to come, so our scorer and his assistant, neither of whom pretend to be players, were pressed into the team. Our last four wickets fell at the same total, and

70 was all wc could pnt together. Major Clark (30) and Private Walton (15) were the http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ only contributors of double figures. When the Norfolks batted, the dropped catches were so numerous that it £eemed impossible to get a mau out, and 60 was notified when Private Rose, who bowled well all through, upset the sticks of the first batsman. With Major Hinde (ourobowler) absent, and catches being dropped, it looked as if we were in for a long leather hunt, but Private Rose pegged away at one end, and Major Clark and Private Walton bowled above themselves at the other, so that in the end we rattled them out for 132-all but two clean bowled. In between these two we had an exciting match with the Royal Engineers; Major Hinde and Private Rose got them out very cheaply for 89, and as Lieutenant Le Bas (20) and Private Pollard (18) put up 38 for our first wicket we seemed safe, but from this point we went to pieces and were beaten by 2 runs. Private Walton (23 not out) nearly got us home, but the fact of having two men run out ruined our chance of victory., OUl' ground fielding has improved consider ably, but we still require to hold catches, while the art cf running between the wickets is at a low ebb. With good fielding our attack would be by no means contemptible, but we could do well with some batsmen. on October 2, 2021 by guest.

North, RA.M.C., the Senior Medical Officer, who during his tenure of office has done much, both to improve the sanitary condition of the camps and promote the general welfare of the troops. He instituted the Mauritius Military Football League, which on October 2, 2021 by guest. Protected has done a great deal to relieve the monotony of this quiet and non· sporting island, and the shield which was presented by him some two seasons ago is keenly contest,ed for. We wish him success in his new sphere of life at home. In Oaptain Stammers we lose the champion lawn tennis player in the island; let us hope his mantle will fall on the shoulders of one of our new arrivals. Tennis in Mauritius is not, it must be con fessed, quite up to Wimbledon form, but at the same time it is distinctly above the average, and to carry off the championship needs a player quite at the top of the second class. We shall greatly miss the weekly meetings on his tennis court, where many a keen contest has been held." NOTES FROM PRETORIA. -Major H. J. M.

Rowan, R.A.M.C., writes (February 28, 1906): "At a meeting of the officers of the Royal Army Medical Corps and Indian Medical Service, held at the Station Hospital, Mian Mir, on January 25 (Colonel Barrow, R.A.M.C., presiding), it was decided to form a Medical Society and a Medical Library, to consist of medical officers in the Lahore District. Captain Rogers, R.A.M.C., was elected Honorary Secretary. The first meeting of the Society was held on February 2, when Colonel Barrow read a paper on the 'Treatment of Varicose Veins by Injection of Carbolic Acid.' Excellent results appear to have been obtained by this method of treatment, and as it was novel to most of those present at the meeting, the paper excited considerable discussion. Several microscopic slides and a case of leprosy were also exhibited by Messrs. Crawford, Soltau, and O'N eill. At the second meeting, held on February 16, Lieutenant-Colonel Rowan, R.A.lVLC., read a paper on ' The Health of Mian Mir, Past and Present.' The health, or rather the unhealthiness, of Mian Mir was revi'ewed for the past fifty years, and it was demon, strated that of late there had been a marked improvement, most probably the outcome of improved sanitation and a more accurate knowledge of malaria, and the opinion was' expressed that, given a good water supply, Mian 1\fir might yet live down its evil reputation. Both meetings were very well attended. The Medical Library has made a: good start: we have got a considerable number of subscribers, and as we were able to make a donation from our dairy and soda water funds, we start with nearly 200 rupees worth of new books. An important feature of the Library will be that officers at out stations will get their books exchanged post free." copyright. NOTES FROM SIERRA LEONE. - Captain A. H. Morris, R.A.M.C., writes (February, 1906): "Major G. T. Rawnsley and Captain J. 1\1cCarthy arrived for duty in December and have both been posted to Mount Aureo!. Major G. S.

. President and Hon. Treasurer: Major A. E. O. Keble, R.A.M.O. All women and children on the strength of their Oorps, including Royal Marines, are treated free of expense. Oopies of the Rules can be obtained on application to the Officer in Oharge, or to the Head Nurse. The wives of soldiers married without leave are admitted to the Hospital on payment of 6d. per diem. In very special cases the whole or part of this payment may be remitted on the special written recommendation of the Officer Oommanding the Corps to which the husband belongs. ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1905. (1) Owing to the reconstructing and rebuilding, the Hospital was closed to general cases for the first six months of the year; nevertheless its popularity has been more than maintained, for in spite of the closure the total number of admissions-233-fell only 17 behind the total admitted in 1904, and &i more than were admitted in 1903. This was chiefly due to the large increase in the number of maternity cases, the total of such cases for the year being 123, against 77 in 1904, and 65 in 1903. (2) During the year the Hospital has been partly rebuilt and reconstructed. The heating is by means of hot-water radiators. Electric light has been installed throughout the entire building. The hospital is now a model of its kind, and is vastly superior to many, if not all, similar civil institutions. The equipment-hospital, surgical and medical-leaves very little, if anything, to be desired. (3) The Out-Patient Department continues to be a great success; 2,003 patients attended 4,786 times. In order to facilitate the work in this department, a block con taining a consulting room, patients' waiting-room, and dispensary, has been specially built. Every convenience for the rapid and efficient treatment of disease has been provided. (4) During the half-year the general site of the Hospital was open, 60 women and 50 children were admitted; 45 operations were performed. copyright. The operations were as follows ;- Result.

89 REGISTER FOR INDIAN SERVANTS. FEW officers on going to India have not experienced' the difficulty of getting good servants. The discomforts on arrival and of a long journey up country, unprovided with a bearer, or, what is worse, provided with a hastily selected man, taken haphazard from the crowd of indifferent or bad characters who congregate in Bombay, bave, fallen to the lot of most of us; whilst the period of trial and vexation, until a proper staff of servants is secured, is familiar to us all. , In our Oorps, with regular annual reliefs, it should not be, difficult to 'arrange for an intercbange. Officers leaving India would then be able to provide places for the'good and tried retainers they are relinquishing, and new arrivals would, by taking on these men, be spared many of the worries aud troubles which now befall them. Further" good servants would not be lost to the Oorps, and the prospects of continuous, employ ment could not fail to have attraction for the better class of men. With these ends in view, officers due home from India are requested to communicate t'o the Journal particulars of servants whom they can recommend, so that officers going out in relief may have an opportunity of securing these men. The particulars required are :-- (1) Class of servant. (2) Whether for bachelor or married officer. (3) District or station to which he belongs. (4) Any special recommendations. NOTE.-The date the officer leaves India should also be stated, and when and where the servant will be available.
