The front page of our Newsletter 2-13 of Summer 2005 showed the appalling state of the former main baths and mentioned the consultations just starting to decide its future. The alternatives seemed to be: demolish the whole complex and replace with flats (Council preference) or to bring them back into public use (local residents preference). Eleven years later there is some new housing at the rear of the site but the old Season's Greetings to all our baths are now a brand new leisure centre and a new public swimming pool has been has been erected on the east side of the site.

Those who know much of Asiatic cholera willnot, Iam certain, sneer at any idea, however wide of practical bearing on the subject it may at first sight ap­ pear to be, but willbe glad to afford to every view ofthe disease a fair amount of patient consideration. Ihave, therefore, no hesitation in submitting the fol­ lowing statements to the Medical Profession, in the hope that those who have attended cases of Asiatic cholera may be induced to publish the results of their experience and observations on the points to which Iask for attention. The present is, unfortunately, but too favourable a period for enquiries of the kind. Though Ihave resided more than twenty-three years inIndia, where vaccination makes cution Inave ever seen in a person so nTarKea^va^uff patient distinctly pitted and suffering from old chronic diarrhoea sustained by ulceration of the intestines.

  • The Lunacy Commissioners and the East London Guardians, 1845-1867
    Medical History, 2002, 46: 495-524 The Lunacy Commissioners and the East London Guardians, 1845-1867 ELAINE MURPHY* Introduction: The Crystallization of Central Regulation The social history of insanity has proved a seductive paradigm for students of the management of the dependent poor in nineteenth-century England. Largely through Andrew Scull's work, the insane have been perceived as "casualties" of class and gender power relations during the transformation from paternalistic laissez-faire rural economy into an industrialized capitalist state.' While the Elizabethan Poor Law was the administrative foundation on which the system of care was constructed, until recently two other themes dominated the historiography of mental disorder, first that of the rise of psychiatry and psychiatrists and second the expansion of the Victorian asylum as society's preferred response.2 The place of the insane in social welfare provision was located by Kathleen Jones and Scull in their early works within the reforming zeal of the county magistrates, the mid-Victorian Lunatics Acts and the central inspectorate responsible for policing the Acts, the Commissioners in Lunacy.3 The literature underplayed the legal and administrative context of the Poor Law within which lunacy was managed and paid only glancing attention to the influence of the changing role of the state and the growth of nineteenth-century government administration. Over the past fifteen years, largely through the work of Peter Bartlett, David Wright, Leonard Smith, and Bill Forsythe and Joseph Melling,4 the asylum and "mad-doctors" have been repositioned on the periphery of a target that places the * Professor Elaine Murphy, Honorary Senior Andrew Scull, Museums ofmadness: the social Research Fellow at the Wellcome Trust Centre organization of insanity in nineteenth-century for the History of Medicine at University College England, London, Allen Lane, 1979.
