any advice as to the arrest of the healthy blossoming of our population; if any advice were offered it should rather be the postponement of marriage, not the production of small families. Dr. ROBERTS said that, supposing it were granted that emiand Australia lay at a great distance, and it was said that even in America there was much poverty in the Eastern States. In New York it was said there was immense distress. Where, too, was the capital to come from, for State assisted emigration from this country. It could not be raised either by Govern ment or by the parishes. Mr. Greening had asserted that cooperation would save so much capital as to cause poverty to cease; but it only raised one and a half per cent. in wholesale trades. Hence co-operation was likely to do only an infinitesi mally small amount of good in causing pauperism to cease. In order to allow of an accession of population in a country, wealth must precede births. And hitherto, as sure as wealth increased, so did population immediately follow it, and eat up the advantages. Our wealth had recently increased enormously; but, then, so had our population. Hence our present pauperism. If three or four millions of our population were suddenly removed, with the present habits of our labouring population, did anyone imagine that the remainder would not immediately begin to increase far more rapidly than now? Population, unless checked by the voluntary prudence of the masses, could always proceed far more rapidly than it could be drafted off by emigration. Hence emigration was no remedy for poverty. already over peopled state, poverty, and its attendant evils, prostitution, infantile mortality, infanticide and the misery and degradation of the race. Of course, emigration was often useful to those who emigrated, but it did not help those who remained behind in the over-peopled countries of Europe. Prostitution, and most of the evils of human life would disgration was a cure for poverty, the difficulty was that America appear, if but a prudent conduct like that of the French peasantry, who, according to M. Maurice Block, habitually limit their families to two children, were to come into vogue throughout European States. Marriage, too, might then be universal, and the great end of all true morality, namely, happiness, attained by the immense majority of mankind. It had been objected to the assertion that over-population was the cause of poverty, by Doubleday, Herbert Spencer, and others, that poverty was the cause of rapid breeding. But, the families of the aristocracy from the Queen downwards were usually large, and the French peasantry who had only two children limited their numbers of their own accord, not from any miraculous so-called law of nature like that assumed to exist by Mr. Doubleday and his followers. Dr. Drysdale remarked in conclusion, that many severe strictures had been made upon the utterances of Lord Amberley, himself, and others of the L'ialectical Society, in the Medical Times and Gazette, by a writer, he believed Dr. Druitt, and also by the Lancet and the British Medical Journal. He believed that his able confreres of the medical profession in general had paid but little attention to the subject of political economy, and did not wonder at this, seeing that the range of medical questions was already so extensive. He only did feel suprised that able men who belonged to one department of science,should speak so slightingly of the discoveries of men like Malthus, Ricardo, Mill, Senior, J. S. Mill, McCulloch, Chalmers, Say, &c. He hoped such superficial criticisms would soon cease, and that his respected brethren would take the trouble calmly to address themselves to the study of the works of these great men; without doing so, they were quite unfit to speak upon topics of public hygiene, or morality in his humble opinion. In the debate which followed, Mr. GREENING said that sparseness of population did not cause prosperity, and poverty was, in his opinion, caused by faulty social arrangements. It had been proved that, if wealth were well distributed in this country, each family would have on an average £100 a year. The great error in our social arrangements was the want of co-operation. No less than three and half per cent of the cost of groceries was saved by co-operation, and if the like saving were attained in production, there would be enough for all. Mr. LEVY said Mr. Greening could not have spoken to an audience who better appreciated the advantage of co-operation. Poverty, however, was a question of production, rather than of destitution, and production depended on capital, labour, and material objects, and in an over-crowded condition of society like this, it was always a difficult matter to procure enough food for all. If our population were smaller in proportion to our capital we should be better off. It was said that in Russia, where population was sparse, poverty was common; but then in Russia capital was scarce too. Wealth depended upon the proportion between the capital and population of a state. Better distribution of wealth, as spoken of by Mr. Greening, would only do good by checking population, if it raised the standard of comfort of the labourers. Emigration was quite inadequate to compete with the principle of population. For example, the increase of the Chinese, if that nation were to emigrate, would soon fill the world. The Japanese, indeed, found it advisable to prevent Chinese immigration into their territory. What was needed was a less rapid production of families. Emigration was no remedy for low wages. Mr. PRATT observed that, if population were too dense, emigration seemed a good remedy, and one greatly needed, since one million and a quarter of persons were at present dependent on charity, and any other way of checking population was too slow in its operation to alleviate the present distress. Mr. EDWARD JENKINS said we have plenty of room to double, nay to quadruple our present population, if the land question was but attacked. At present the land of England was held by some 5,000 families. Pauperism was caused by this faulty tenure of land. One half of our labouring population, too, could neither read nor write. Then, too, alcohol and tobacco cost £100,000,000 to the people annually. No people in Europe drank so much, or had such poor education as our poor agricultural labourers. The accumulation of money in the hands of a few increased the evil. There was only one remedy, and that lay in the instruction of the people. He objected to MR. REED said that the question of wages was one of production, not of distribution. If we desired then, to raise wages, we must make the number of the population less in proportion to the capital of the country. This was the only real and certain way of improving the condition of the labouring classes. The co-operation principle, though admirable, would only alter the distribution, not the production, of wealth. The population question was the real solution of the difficulty. With regard to the rapid "blossoming " of the population so much admired by Mr. Jenkins and others, it had only resulted in wide spread misery and destitution, and the French peasants, who were found such fault with for their prudent and praiseworthy habits of having but two children, did not exhibit the frightful destitution brought on us by the results of the pretended good advice of our public teachers. Mr. McGRIGOR ALLEN said there were three arguments against emigration. 1. Immigration into a country often caused the death and destruction of the natives. Knox said that the Saxon had cleared Tasmania. 2. Then emigration did not get rid of paupers or lunatics, and people died of poverty at home. Then again (3), we were not fitted to live in all parts of the globe. Even in America the physique of the English had degenerated, and it was absurd to think that we could colonize India, since the third generation of Europeans did not exist in India. John Bull should stay at home a little more, and let charity begin at home. Emigration was fraught with evils, and the population law of Malthus was the only solution of the question. Large families, which were the grand cause of poverty and destitution were much to be deprecated. The meeting then adjourned. LEGALLY-QUALIFIED MIDWIVES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MEDICAL PRESS AND CIRCULAR. SIR,-Since the Royal College of Surgeons of England have determined in future that candidates for the membership shall be examined in midwifery, I suppose henceforward there will be no occasion or rather applicants, for the diploma of L.M. Does it not seem feasible that properly-educated and trained ladies might be examined at the Royal College of Surgeons, and after being found competent, receive the diploma of Licen tiate in Midwifery, and so become legally qualified to practise midwifery (strictly practical midwifery only) in any part of the British Empire; thus providing employment for reduced gentlewomen more remunerative and independent than that of a governess, &c ? Women are quite as capable of learning the science and art of midwifery as the medical student, if properly taught, and I propose giving them a training four times as severe as that which the student of midwifery receives at the present time, which consists of nothing more or less than a three months' course of lectures upon midwifery and the diseases of women and children, and before going in for examination he must present a certificate to the effect that he has attended twenty cases of midwifery. Surely if a young surgeon is legally recognised as competent to practise midwifery after such a training, a woman thould be too, after a more lengthened course of obstetric study, providing she has satisfied her examiners as to her capabilities. The great objection women have to being attended by one of their own sex in labour is this, they fancy, should anything amiss occur, the midwife "would not have nerve enough." Such a thought is very natural, but when we look at hospital nurses and behold "their nerve on trying occasions, I think one is safe in concluding that a thoroughly-educated midwife would not be found wanting in any case, however great the emergency might be. Remember they have been theoretically taught the science of midwifery, and, we suppose, would have no difficulty in diagnosing a case of mal-presentation or placenta prævia. Under such circumstances, they would do all science teaches them; at the same time, the friends would be informed of the nature and gravity of the case, and it remains for them to call in the surgeon if they like and the same line of conduct would be applied to puerperal convulsions if desired The educated midwife is not expected to,-nay, will not wait for the surgeon to come and tell her what to do; she is to do as she has been taught in such cases, and the surgeon's attendance should be requested only as confirmation of the midwife's opinion, or, to use other words, "just for satisfaction." A duly-qualified midwife would be a great boon to women in the humble class of society; and the general practitioner ought to be very thankful to find he could get rid of a large amount of midwifery without injury to his other practice. When a woman is confined the midwife's attendance should be dispensed with beyond visiting the patient a time or two afterwards, of course she may prescribe a dose of castor oil, or a few drops of laudanum, or a saline draught as the case might require, but should puerperal fever or peritonitis set in, or mammary abscess follow or any other dangerous symptoms arise then the surgeon's attendance becomes absolutely neces sary; and it should be illegal for a midwife to take further charge of the case in a medical point of view of course there would be no objection to her remaining as head nurse working under the surgeon's order if found convenient. For my part I think the general practitioner ought not to attend much midwifery. If he has a heavy number of obstetric cases to look after and be in readiness for, how can he attend to much general practice at the same time? Not only must his rest at night be broken, and his meals irregular, but all his other practice must be secondary to the midwifery; in fact he is physically a perfect slave, to say nothing of mental anxiety. In large towns the case is not so bad as in the country, for in the former you can leave your patient for a short time to visit some one else, whereas in the latter when a mile or miles away from other patients you must wait many hours, sometimes a whole day or night, in the meantime all your other engagements are on one side, in plain words the rest of your practice goes to the wall. For instance, one has promised to see a patient who is dangerously ill early next morning, a midwifery case comes on in the night lasting for some hours, there is no help for it, you cannot keep your word, and your poor patient must wait until Dame Nature sets you at liberty, you cannot well go away, however clear your judgment of the case may be as re gards the time of termination of labour; for women will not be left and it does not do to offend, so all one has to do is to wait patiently. If in course of time it should become fashionable for ladies to attend midwifery, in most cases wherever you found a surgeon in general practice there you would find a lady accoucheur as well, and if it were only publicly known that women were found after strict examination qualified to practise midwifery, I think many ladies would employ them, especially when supported by a surgeon, the ordinary medical attendant, perhaps of the lady to whom the midwife could look for immediate aid if required. I make no doubt that the majority of my professional brethren will disagree with me in toto on this subject, and think that they would all be ruined should it become the rule to employ female obstetricians and not the exception. Let us hope that such would not be the case, and it could not be, providing midwives were restricted from practising general medicine and dealing in drugs, both of which would be impossible (if the Medical Act were only what it ought to be), as a midwife would not come under the head of a registered medical man or chemist. Pure physicians and surgeon accoucheurs would find a falling-off in their obstetric cases, though there will always be certain ladies who must have one of the sterner sex to attend them; yet, suppose the obstetric physician would not attend above twenty cases in after years where now he attends a hundred, he still has uterine diseases to make a special study of, which will be remunerative, and then there would be his consultations in complicated cases to make up for the loss. The following course of study seems to me sufficient for the education of a lady accoucheur : In the first place, the candidate would be required to pass a preliminary examination in general education, comprising the following subjects 1st. Reading aloud a passage from an English author. 4th. Writing a short English composition, as the description of a place, &c. 5th. Arithmetic to fractions, inclusive. 6th. Outlines of geography. 7th. Outlines of English history. 8th. Rudiments of the Latin language. Secondly, the candidate must have attended the practice of a lying-in hospital or the obstetric wards of some general hospital or workhouse infirmary for the period of twelve months, such period to be divided into two summer sessions and one winter; at the same time, the following course of lectures must be attended-the summer course consisting of fifty lectures, the winter of one hundred; class examinations to be held weekly. Each session to consist of two lectures. Lecture I.-On the Osteology and Anatomy of the Pelvis Obstetric Operations. All lectures must be well illustrated by diagrams and preparations, and each candidate must have applied the forceps, gone through the modus operandi for removing retained placenta on the leather subject used by the lecturer for his illustrations of practical midwifery. Furthermore, a candidate must present a certificate of having attended, per se, five cases of midwifery within hospital wards and fifteen out. We will now suppose a lady has obtained her diploma of L.M., the question then suggests itself, by what term shall she be known by when speaking of her in society? I think "Accoucheuse" by itself is sufficient perhaps the prefix of "Surgeon" would render it more striking, and give it greater weight with the public. We have surgeon-dentists emanating from Lincoln's-inn Fields, why not a “Surgeon-Accoucheuse?" After the above course of study, I hope I am right in presuming that a woman should be equal to practise midwifery, and thought deserving of public confidence in the obstetric art. I am, Sir, yours, &c., HENRY W. WILLIAMS, C.M., M.D., L.R.C.P. Ed. London, June, 1869. LAW v. MEDICINE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MEDICAL PRESS AND CIRCULAR. DEAR SIR,-Having been for many years a subscriber to your valuable paper, I shall feel much obliged if you will kindly insert the following in your next publication: I on the 21st instant, sued, in the County Court of Haverfordwest, a man for a bill for medical attendance. I sent him my bill three years ago, and on this bill authority to pay the amount to a druggist in Haverfordwest of the name of Williams, who transacted business for me. I asked Williams for the money and he said the man had not paid him, so, after waiting till this month I sued him. When in court, the defendant produced my bill, with the authority to pay Williams, receipted by a man named Thomas who lived in the same house that Williams had formerly occupied, who was not authorised by me to receive it. The judge then asked me if the authority produced to pay Williams was in my hand-writing, I replied it was. He then gave judgment against me, saying the man was illiterate and knew no better, and ordered me to pay the costs. I was plaintiff in another case in the same court, and, on the same day, I sued a man for 13s. 6d., 10s. for journey, and 3s. 6d. for medicine. I was sent for, in the middle of a cold wet night, a distance of between three or four miles, to attend the defendant's wife-I sent in my bill as above, I made two or three applications for it and he promised to pay, but not doing so, I sued him. The judge (Terrell), on giving judgment in the matter said, my charge was excessive, and reduced my bill for attendance and medicine to 5s., and ordered me to pay costs, leaving me, thereby, a balance for 2s. for medicine and journey. During the hearing of the case Judge Terrell said he should make no difference between day and night services of medical men, and should award the same allowances in both cases. On hearing the judge's decision, I remarked I hoped every one would be paid at the same ratio, when he ordered me to be taken out of court in custody of a bailiff, for contempt of court. I was kept in a room for half an-hour till the business of the court was over, and should have been committed to prison for seven days had I not acquiesced, at the solicitations of many friends, to make an apology for objectionable remarks (if any) made, I was then released from the officers of justice. The above statements are quite correct. You will much oblige by letting me know if there is a remedy, and if so, the one applicable, and can I not bring an action for false imprisonment, my not being aware of having in any way, made a remark that could come uder the head of contempt of court. Yours truly, Haroldstone, Haverfordwest. May 24th, 1869. R, SUMMERS, M.R.C.S. [We have no hesitation in saying that our correspondent has been most harshly dealt with, and that the decision of the magistrate was utterly illegal.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MEDICAL PRESS AND CIRCULAR. SIR,-In an article on "Cocoa " in your valuable paper, you say last Wednesday, with regard to Van Houten's Cocoa. "We cannot endorse Dr. Hassall's remarks, however, as regards the comparative cheapness of this cocoa. This implies, as it stands, a denial of a fact, proved by experience, and in justice to Dr. Hassall, to the manufacturer, and also to the public, I must ask you to qualify this statement of yours, as to its real value, or to show satisfactorily that it is well founded. I am, H. ESCHWEGE, Importer, &c. 6 and 7 Coleman street, London, E.C. June 5th, 1869. We have not seen Dr. Hassall's original report, and, there-fore, suppose that in Van Houten's advertisement we have it unabridged. The passage complained of refers to the following paragraphs in Dr. Hassall's report: "I have tested chemically, microscopically, and dietetically Van Houten's Cocoa, and contrasted it with the best description of Cocoa and Chocolate to be found in the English market, while the great majority of them consists of MIXTURE of cocoa, starch, &c., Van Houten's is not only composed solely of the cocoa bean, but is of the finest quality. Van Houten's cocoa is alone compared with the lower class mixtures which are sold under the name of cocoa. This, however, was not our reading of the advertisement, there are large numbers of pure and good cocoas in the market (which number is increasing every day.) It is with them that we would compare Van Houten's preparation as regards its comparative | cheapness. If we confined our consideration of cocoas to one class or those which are mixtures of starch, sugar, and cocoa, Van Houten's is comparatively cheaper than such preparations. MR. STAPLETON'S METHOD FOR FRACTURES OF THE FEMUR NOT NOVEL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MEDICAL PRESS AND CIRCULAR. DEAR SIR,-Thirteen years ago I devised this method and have continued to make use of it, and modifications of it, in the practice of the Queen's County Infirmary, where there is, for the purpose, a movable arrangement to attach to any bed, supplying a pulley over which may be suspended a sufficient. weight, and the arrangement reduces the treatment of fractures of the femur to that of the most simple. It possesses many advantages as well as comforts to the patient. I have such a case at present in his fourth week, and it has scarcely called for any attention since the first adjustment. I often use only four splints round the thigh, and none other, when the patient may sit up or recline as wished, the only precaution being to have the splints held by an attendant during the change of position. I apply long broad adhesive straps from above the knee down the leg at both sides (supported at intervals by broad circular straps) united below the foot, but kept apart by a bit of wood notched at the ends, this prevents undue pressure on the ankle, thence a cord passing over the puley suspends a weight, usually four pounds. Special cases require Liston's, or other splints, but I doubt the usefulness of too much fixture of the extremely. The arrangement has all the advantages pointed out by Mr. Stapleton, as also several others, chiefly its allowing of the sitting posture, and the relief it affords to the ankle. I have gone further and used gentle circular traction in a similar way on the stumps, in certain cases of amputation of the thigh, by circular operation, the results being satisfactory. However, very great care is obviously necessary in such cases as this. Finally, I may mention that my method has been brought out as novel in America, by Dr. Dugas, of Georgia, and may be found illustrated in Dr. Wales's work, on Surgical Apparatus Appliances," Philadelphia, 1867.

IN CHANCERY.—(Before VICE-CHANCELLOR MALINS.) PULVERMACHER v. HAMMOND. The Vice-Chancellor said he had also heard the defendant's affidavit: anything more disgraceful he never saw. Mr. Glasse said he should like to have some explicit opinion on the case from his honor. The Vice-Chancellor said he had a very strong opinion against the defendant on his own affidavit. The tactics pursued by the defendant was one of systematic imposture, and he much regretted there was not somebody on the part of the public to put a stop to these things. Mr. Glasse concurred with his honour. The injustice to the public and his client was immeasurable. The Vice-Chancellor then directed that the cause should stand over till the hearing.

MEDICINE, MAGIC, AND WITCHCRAFT.-Referring to the above article which appeared in our issue of May 26th., we extract the following pertinent remarks from the letter of an occasional contributor:-I was much pleased with Mr. Donovan's article on Medicine, Magic, and Witchcraft, and quite agree with his concluding remarks That the belief in Magic and Witchcraft in an ignorant superstitious age is less surprising, when we consider the performances of some expert practitioners of our own times." We have as much as ever of this kind of practice but in various other forms. The quacks and many of our own body are everyday examples of this, and it will not be in our generation that the parent; this was best seen at a recent inquest in Hampshire, when How medicine will be emancipated from superstition, of which ignorance is no less than nine jurymen could not even write their own names.

Mr. Glasse, Q.C., in introducing the Bill, said he wished to direct his honor's attention to the abominable artifices resorted to by the defendant or defendants; who, not content with trafficking under assumed names, and endeavouring to pass with the public as medical practitioners, actually pirated the names of many of the most eminent members of the dressed wrapper, minus the journal, goes to prove that the journal was DR.

He held also in his hand the affidavits of Sir Charles Locock and Sir Ranald Martin, which distinctly set forth that these testimonials were given to none other than the plaintiff. The learned counsel further stated that the sham electrical appliances advertised by the defendants caused him considerable annoyance in his trade, for persons who had purchased belts of the defendants, and found them useless-which they undoubtedly were-refused to believe in the efficacy of his client's inventions, after having been duped by these pseudo doctors; who further gulled the public by using various affixes, such as "F.A.S.," "F.R.A.S.," "Ex-Governor of the Lock Hospital," and many other et ceteras, which really meant nothing, but served to mislead the public, thus robbing both the legitimate practitioner and the honest manufacturer of his just rights. The plaintiff therefore prayed that his honour would grant an injunction to restrain the defendants from infringing his patents, and fraudulently using the names of the eminent gentlemen referred to in his affidavit. The Vice-Chancellor, after going through the Bill, said he feared he could not give the interlocutory injunction desired. It was admitted by the defendant that Dr. Hammond, whoever that might mean, had now gone away two years since, where to, was not known; that Henry James was a myth; and that the only person residing in the house-which to carry out the deception still further, was advertised under two addresses-was the man Burrows? It was an outrageous thing that the public should be thus deluded; and he was exceedingly sorry that, owing to a point raised by the solicitor to the defendant, the law did not enable him to grant the protection prayed for.
