The Homeopathic Medical Society of the County of New York held its regular meeting on Thursday evening, October 8. On account of the terrific rain storm the attendance was small. The minutes were read and approved. Dr. S. K. Royle and Dr. J. E. Tytler were elected to active membership. The first paper of the evening, "Administration of the Anesthetic," was read by Dr. T. Drysdale Buchanan. He spoke of the need of care in the administration of the anesthetic. He also emphasized the need of specially trained anesthetists. The paper was discussed by Dr. Barker. Both the essayist and the discusser spoke of the use of plenty of water for the twelve hours preceding the anesthesia. Dr. Barker also spoke of what he called the sight reflex. He stated that the finger held close to the eye of an anesthetized patient would cause the eye to move if the patient was not deeply under. Dr. Hopke of Brooklyn showed an arrangement by which the anesthetist could keep in touch with the patient's heart. A stethoscope is made fast to the patient's chest, and by means of a long rubber tube the anesthetist can tell at any time how his patient's heart is acting. Dr. Bishop called attention to the need of specialists in anesthesia in all cases. He also said he felt the anesthetist's fee was not proportionately large enough.

BERLIN, Aug. 5, '03.

DEAR NORTH AMERICAN: Last evening it was my privilege to be present at a meeting of the delegates from the "Hahnemannia” Medical Society of South Germany with the members of the "Liga," a newly organized homeopathic society of Berlin. The object of the meeting was to effect some union between the two societies for the purpose of preventing dissolutions and overlapping of territory.

It may not be known to all the readers of the NORTH AMERICAN that these societies are organized among the laity who sympathize with our school. The "Hahnemannia" is an old organization of this kind and numbers many thousand homeopathic constituents among its members. The "Liga" of North Germany is showing good growth and the members expressed their desire to co-operate with their fellows of the south.

Dr. Richard Haehl, of Stuttgart, who represented the "Hahnemannia" is a graduate of Penn. He is now editor of the Homeopathic Monatsblatter. He is probably the most active worker for the school that Germany has at present, and I am proud to count him as a personal friend of mine. It will also be gratifying for our American readers to know that the Berlin homeopaths have within the last ten days begun the construction of a hospital of about fifty beds.

When we consider how the laws are thrown round about homeopathy here to hem its progress, these new movements give evidence of a remarkable degree of vitality. It is needless to say that we drank to the health of homeopathy in Germany.

Relief for Respiratory Affections.-John Moir, L.R.C.P. & L.R.C.S. Ed., in The Therapist, London, says: "Latterly I have been using heroin very extensively in tablet form in combination with antikamnia, and found the combination to act charmingly, both for relieving pain and in procuring comfortable, restful sleep. The tablets I use contain antikamnia 5 grs., heroin hydrochlor. 1-12 gr., and were given every two, three or four hours in cases of cough, bronchitis and respiratory affections generally, according to the severity of the symptoms, but usually one tablet every three hours.

Within an hour from New York a fine opening for a young doctor. Address X, NORTH AMERICAN.

Atrophic nasal catarrh is a disorder which does not receive the attention it should, in view of its characteristic odor and the complications which follow it. The treatment consists in the removal of the secretion, the disinfection of the nasal passages together with the stimulation of the serous glands to normal action. In the writer's hands Glyco-Thymoline is used to irrigate the nasal passages, and the patient is given a supply of it and instructed to clear the nares with it twice daily. L. P. McCready, M.D.

The Pennsylvania State Board of Health and "Vin Mariani."On April 22d last the Governor of Pennsylvania approved an excellent law passed by the Legislature entitled "An Act regulating the sale or prescription of cocaine, or of any patent or proprietary remedy containing cocaine, and prescribing penalties for the violation thereof." A question arose as to whether the well-known "Vin Mariani,' as a coca preparation, contained cocaine. The State Board of Health, on being appealed to, submitted the question to the analytical chemists, Prof. Sadtler and Dr. Genth, the samples examined being purchased by them in drug stores of their own selection. The analysis showed that "Vin Mariani" contained no cocaine.—Monthly Cyclopedia of Practical Medicine.

"In the treatment of these diseases by means of drugs, and I have given all of the accepted remedies a thorough trial and regret to say have been unsuccessful, except with thialion, and thialion I feel I cannot praise too highly, for in the way of medicine it has done more for my gouty patients, and when I say gout I mean all cases of uric acid poisoning, than everything else put together." -HENRY S. POLE, M.D., Hot Springs, Va.

New Jersey State Homeopathic Medical Society. - A good attendance marked the meeting of this society at Atlantic City on October 7 and 8. The proximity of Philadelphia allowed the presence of a large number of visitors. The afternoon meeting of the first day was given up to addresses of welcome and a business session. In the evening the following papers were discussed: Demonstrations on the Use of Sounds and Catheters," by Dr. L. T. Ashcraft, of Philadelphia: "Digitalis in Heart Failure," by Dr. E. R. Snader, of Philadelphia; "Babies-What Won't They Stand," by Dr Bernard Clausen, of Hoboken, and "The Early Diagnosis of Phthisis," by Dr. Geo. F. Laidlaw, of New York. At ten o'clock the scientific meeting gave way to a banquet tendered to the members and visitors by the Atlantic City Homeopathic Club, at which Dr. A. W. Baily acted as Toastmaster. The following toasts were responded to: Hahnemann, in silence; M.D.s vs. D.D.s, Rev. N.W. Cadwell, D.D.; N. J. State Society, J. R. Fleming, M.D.; Medical Law, Mr. C. L. Cole; Homeopathy in New Jersey, Dr. E. M. Howard; X-Ray Burns, Dr. E. M. Gramm; Our Sister Societies, Dr. G. W. Roberts; He, She, It, Rev. J. Morgan Read, D.D.; The Ladies, Dr. B. F. Betts; Our Medical Brothers, Dr. Ella Upham; Our Sister Cities, Dr. Geo. F. Laidlaw; The Atlantic City Club, Dr. J. W. Hughes. The next morning the following papers were read: "Aconite in Mental Affections," by Justis Cooley, M.D., óf

Plainfield; "Medicinal Treatment of Appendicitis," by Dr. W. McGeorge, of Camden, and "Observations on the Use of the High Frequency Current in Hay Fever," by A. W. Baily, M.D., of Atlantic City. The next meeting will be held in Hoboken.

Galen Hall. A number of physicians attending the New Jersey state meeting took advantage of their presence in Atlantic City to pay a visit to Galen Hall, and none who visited it failed to be impressed with what the institution had to offer as aids in the restoration of health, or as a place where the healthy can maintain their health. For while there is no institution better equipped with baths of all kinds, and electrical and vibratory apparatns for those who need them, they are not obtrusively kept before the guests, and all the comforts of an hotel await those who desire to make Galen Hall their headquarters while on a purely recreative sojourn in Atlantic City.

Connecticut Homeopathic Medical Society.-In spite of the somewhat small attendance, the semi-annual meeting of this society held at Meriden on Oct. 20, was more than ordinarily interesting. Those who absented themselves missed a good thing. Two visitors from Massachusetts were present: Dr. John A. Donner, of Holyoke, and Dr. J. P. Rand, of Monson. The report of the Board of Examiners showed that all the candidates in the last examination had

passed a satisfactory examination. As chairman of the Legislative Committee Dr. Hooker went fully into the final steps which eventuated in the establishment of an insane hospital at Norwich under homeopathic control. He explained why the word "homeopathic" had been eliminated from the act, and told of the favorable attitude of the Board of Trustees toward the homeopathic profession and the steps that were necessary in order to maintain this position. Dr. N. Emmons Paine had kindly acted in an advisory capacity, aud plans had been drawn for, and work was already commenced on, what would surely prove a model institution. In the way of papers the Bureau of Obstetrics presented "Eclampsia" by B. A. Sawtelle, M.D., of Southington, and "Post-partum Hemorrhage," by W. E. Thorpe, M.D. In the Bureau of Pediatrics Dr. J. P. Rand, of Monson, Mass., read a paper on "Hygienic Suggestions for Our Public Schools,' which will appear later in the NORTH AMERICAN, and Dr. A. S. Cheney, of New Haven, read an article on "A Plea for the Relief of Mouth Breathers." The Bureau of Materia Medica presented the following papers: "Natrum Muriaticum," by Sophia Penfield, M.D., of Danbury; "Natrum Phosphoricum and Natrum Sulfuricum," by H. A. Cameron, M.D., of Waterbury, "Natrum Arsenicosum and Natrum Carbonicum," by Carroll Beach, M.D., of Hartford, and "Natrum Compounds Including Borax," by F. W. Peck, M.D., of Litchfield. The closing paper of the meeting proved to be exceedingly interesting as presenting the result of considerable original investigation on the part of its author. It was "Iridium and Its Use as a Medicinal Agent," by W. C. Christian, M.D., of Berlin. This paper will appear in next month's NORTH AMERICAN. The next meeting will be held in Hartford in May, 1904.
