**** The Rochester Homeopathic Hospital reports an active month for December, some 128 patients having been admitted for treatment.

***

St. Luke's Hospital, Philadelphia, has moved into its new buildings where they will have better facilities for the very excellent work they do.

*** We know of a physician in northern Ohio who is compelled to move. He has a splendid practice, a fine house and the best of inducements for a man to locate. If you want to know anything about it write to B. E. F., this office.

*** Dr. William A. Seibert, of Easton, Pa., emphasizes his assumption of the presidency of the Homeopathic Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania in a little letter, in which he asks the members for their enthusiastic and strong support for the ensuing year.

*** The name of the Dr. O. A. Palmer Sanitarium of this city has been changed to the University Sanitarium, with Dr. Palmer as Superintendent. The Sanitarium his recently been enlarged by the addition of a new fire-proof building and now comprises fifty rooms.

***** The Reading (Pa.) Homeopathic Hospital is to be enlarged and a nurses' home erected. A pathological department has been recently opened, and an X-ray machine will be installed. The Reading people are determined to keep the reputation of being strictly up-todate.

*** The physicians of Chicago have begun a movement towards the organization of a State Association, whose object will be to employ all means to eradicate tuberculosis. This is to be accomplished by the securing of legislation, in addition to a systematic effort to educate the people.

*** Dr. H. V. Halbert, of Chicago, has been elected vice-president of the staff of the County Hospital physicians in charge of the Cook County Hospital, in that city. Dr. Charles E. Kahlke, the popular and brilliant surgeon of Hahnemann College, Chicago, is the secretary of the Board.

*** A member of the French Academy reports that twenty-five experiments on animals show each time that poisoned blood is active even after dilution 1,000,000,000,000 times. A clipping from the secular press says that this demonstrates that those who say that there is no medicine in the homeopathic dose betray ignorance.

The Homeopathic staff of the Cook County (Ill.) Hospital is as follows: Surgery, Charles E. Kahlke, B. A. McBurney, F. E. Titzell, G. M. Cushing, E. E. Vaughan; Obstetrics, G. Fitzpatrick; Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat, B. Haseltine; Children's and Contagious Diseases, A. M. Cameron; Medicine, H. V. Halbert, F. Wieland, A. R. McDonald, F. W. Wood.

Dr. William Davis Foster, of Kansas City, Mo., is heading an agitation for the proper recognition of the homeopathic school of medicine among the medical employed by the city. He claims that as one-fourth of the people in that city and in the State of Missouri employ homeopaths, therefore, one-fourth of the number of medical men employed by the city should be homeopaths. This seems logical.

Goff, president; Dr. W. A. Stewart, vice-president; Dr. H. S. Nicholson, secretary, and Dr. E. H. Pond, treasurer. This is Dr. Goff's first term.
