is sometimes affected in tetanus, producing contraction ofarterioles. Liston is reported to have performed an amputa-tion in which there was little or no bleeding by reason ofcontraction of the vessels in a case of tetanus. But inListon's case, and probably in the syncopal cases, the toxicaction is one of stimulation. To explain the asphyxia in ourcase, if all the muscles were relaxed, a depressant and para-lysing property of the poison has to be assumed unlesssimple exhaustion of the respiratory centre is a sufficientcause.

MEMO RANDAMEDICAL, SURGICAL, OBSTETRICAL, THERA-

PEUTICAL, PATHOLOGICAL, ETC.RUPTURE OF PULMONARY VALVE.

I VENTURE to send you the following notes of a case, in thebelief that it may be of interest:

I was called to a patient at 1.25 A.M. on January 1st, andfound a young man of 23 years of age, who had been to thetheatre, and afterwards had eaten a hearty supper at 11.30P.M., consisting of potato pie and a glass of beer. He wasthen quite well. Shortly after 12.30 A.M. he complained ofpain in his chest, and felt sick. He went out into the yardand vomited freely. He was then given 10 drops of chloro-dyne and a little soda water and milk. As he got worse I wassent for. I found him pulseless, hands and feet quite cold,no heart sounds to be heard, chest full of fine bubbling rales,respiration free but hurried. He spat a good quantity ofblood-stained foam; there was no cough. He told me thathe had pain in his chest, and that he was very cold. He diedin about forty-five minutes, a considerable amount of frothy,pink, watery fluid escaping from the mouth during the lastfew minutes of his life.About thirty-six hours after death I performed a post-mor-

tem examination by order of the coroner. In disarticulatingthe left clavicle I wounded the subelavian vein, and the blood,which was black, fairly spouted. Heart healthy in appear-ance. On careful examination I found one segment of thesemilunar valves of the pulmonary artery ruptured from apoint close to the corpus Arantii to its base. Another wasperforated. The lungs were full of black blood, but noneextravasated. The stomach contained about 15 ounces offluid, with portions of unchewed meat (pork and beef), andlumps of potato-not many of these. The kidneys werehealthy.Warrington. A. W. HALL, L.R.C.P. and S.

AXIAL ROTATION OF THE TESTIS: SEQUEL TO ACASE.

IN the BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL of April 8th, 1893, I re-corded a case of axial rotation of the right testis, which Isaw on March 17th, 1893, one hour and a-quarter after theappearance of the first symptom. I was able to undo thehalf twist present, which gave immediate relief. Next daythe testicle was normal in size, and free from tenderness.The lad shortly after this left school, and I lost sight of him.Mr. Edmund Owen, in a paper read before the MedicalSociety of London, suggested that it would be interesting toknow whether the testicle received any permanent damagefrom the brief strangulation. I therefore wrote to the patient,and in reply on November 3rd, 1894, he stated that " the righttesticle is considerably smaller than the other."This case lends weight to Mr. Bryant's suggestion that

certain cases of atrophied testicle have been caused by axialrotation.Bedford. W. GIFFORED NAsH, F.R.C.S.

ALBUMINUR1A: DURING PREGNANCY.MBs. A., aged 36, who had had thirteen children (the last borntwelve months earlier), and was again six months pregnant,on December 19th, 1894, complained of cough and lumbarpain. The temperature was 1010 F., and bronchitic rdleswere heard generally in the chest; the skin was moist, the

tonaue furred. She was retching violently. There was nocedema, facial or otherwise. Micturition was frequent.The urine contained albumen to the extent of one-fourth.

She was treated by applying mustard on hot poultices overthe kidneys, and by the following mixture: Liq. ferri per-chloridi, 5j; liq. ammon. acet. conc., 3ij; aqume chlorof. ad3 vj; 5 j quater die. For the bronchitis, wadding and cam-phorated oil, and linseed tea with liquorice and lemon juicewere ordered. By December 30th there was left only a traceof albumen, and the cough had gone. She was able to getup and eat a little.The point of interest in the case is that the bronchitis was

sufficient to account for all the symptoms except one-namely. the lumbar pain reflected into the groin (pregnancyexplaining the frequency of micturition); and the lesson Idrew for myself was to test the urine of a pregnant woman asa matter of routine.Shaftesbury Avenue. F. ISDELL.

VESICAL SPASM CAUSED BY MEDICINAL DOSES OFSTRYCHNINE.

SEVERE vesical spasm following the administration ofliquor strychnive B. P. in four-minim doses taken three timesa day for a period of five days prompts me to send in a shortaccount of the case, especially as this is the second time thatI have noticed such symptoms occurring after the use)liquor strychniae.The patien$t, a man about 30 years of age, had been undet

treatment for some weeks for chronic gastric catarrh andstubborn constipation.Dilute hydrochloric acid and Glauber's salts affected the

gastric catarrh favourably, but did not materially relievethe constipation, so that I resorted to the addition of liquorstrychniie B.P. in the doses above mentioned to the originalmedicine. The constipation was at once relieved, but after afew days, the patient came to me complaining of greatly in-creased frequency of micturition-eight or ten times duringthe day and three or four times during the night.This distressing symptom was coupled with a dull pain

in the right loin in the region of the right kidney, whichmade him fancy that he had some kidney trouble. The urinewas perfectly clear, of light colour, specific gravity 1015, andcontained neither albumen nor sugar. I assured my patientthat very probably on discontinuing the medicine for a fewdays, his troubles would cease, and to my great satisfactionthis occurred.The patient comes from a highly neurotic stock, the

mother and two sisters suffering from neurotic complaints.Canonbury. N. JOHN H. SPITZLY, M.R.C.S, L.R.C.P.

MENTAL DISTURBANCE AS A CAUSE OF HERPESZOSTER.

WITH reference to a memurandum on the etiology of herpeszoster, which appeared in the BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL ofOctober 20th, the history of a case I am now attending maybe interesting.Mrs. P., an elderly lady of 70, in somewhat delicate health,

was dreadfully shocked at hearing of the sudden death of herdaughter. Four days after this news had reached her, shenoticed an eruption attended by slight neuralgic pain, whichturned out to be herpes zoster.On the following day her daughter's funeral took place, and

in the evening while the friends of the deceased, includingMrs. P., were taking tea together. they were much startledby the sudden smashing of the window of the room by a foot-ball thrown from outside.Within a few hours of this second shock the pains became

very much more severe, especially at night, and are now onlyslowly yielding to gelseminum, bromide of potassium, andstrychnine, with draughts of bromide and chloral at bedtime.The patient has never before been troubled with any form

of skin eruption, and I think there is every reason to believethat the herpes in this case is due to the shock of the ill tidingsshe suddenly heard, and that the very marked increase of painwas due to the fright sustained on the day of the funeral.

I may mention that one of the young ladies who was presentwith the funeral party has suffered from severe infraorbitalneuralgia ever since.

only 83 deaths, and the rate only 12 8 per 1.000. Tlhis was ihb lowestdeath-rate in any wcsk of tlie year." The higiest was in Januayv at 2 .7.The birth-rate was 33.3 per 1,000. -Of children, under 1 year, tiere died1,714, as compared with 2,238 in the previous year. This is a decrease ofnearly 500, which is more considerable when it is remembered that thecity is presumed to inCrease at the:rate of 5,000 a year. Ia the deaths ofpeople over 60. there was also a decided deerease. There was a markeddecrease in deaths from respiratory diseases. He thought generalweather conditions had much to do with the excellent health of the city,and that the activity that had been displayed for several years by thehealth authorities had also done much.

ES-3WFOR OPERATIONS IN WORKHOUSES.W. V. M. asks if. as'medical officer to a workhouse, is lie entitled tothe usual fee allowed by the Local Government Board for the operationof amputati6n 6o the, leg performed on an inmate of the workhouse ?If not, can he charge for expenses incurred, such as chloroform, lint,etc.?

*** A medical officer of a workhouse is not entitled to an extra fee forany operation performed on one' of its inmates, nor do we think he conclaim any allowance for chloroform, etc., but if the guardians shouldby special resolution awaid him any special fee, the Lockl GovernmentBoard will probably confirm the guardians' resolution.

GUARDIANS AND MEDICAL ORDERS.aNQUIRENS Writes: Can a board of guardians adopt a proposal of oneof its members empowering each guardian to issue medical orders for" urgent and critical cases ? "*** We believe that any such resolution, unless confirmed by the

Local Government Board, would not empower guardians to issuemedical orders.

ferred, on January 12th to thecircumstances under which the

Ilkeston, Town-Counci failed to continue Dr., Carroll

medical officer of health, a position he had filled with effi-,

ciency for ten years.- The action of the Town Council;- as

learn from theIlkeston Pioneer, caused general. indignation

among all classes of the town. This was expressed

public meeting; and a movement was set on foot to present

testimonial to Dr. Carroll. An address, which was accom-

panied by a purse of gold, was recently presented to Dr.

Carroll. The address stated that the' presentation wasmiade

in recognition of the valuable services rendered by Dr.

during the past ten years as medical. officer of health for

borough at a very inadequate salary, to express the deep

sympathy of the subscribers in theunfair treatment he

received at the hands of a'bare majority of the Town Council,

and as a tolken of the high esteem in which he was held all

classes o'f 'the community. Dr. Carroll, in acknowledging

the presentation, said that he had had occasion several

to call attention to the insanitary condition of the property

some of the members of the Town Council. Members of thaatCouncil, especially members of- its Health Committee, ought

to show an example in sanitary matters. He condemned the

system of short term appointments, which constituted

serious danger to public health. -.Inconclusion, he said that

he hoped before theend of 1895 to regain the post of medical

officer to the borough.
