Burroughs meilcome ana Co., Condon ana Sydney. 'TABLOID'Medical Equipments for tropical climates. THESE equipments have been put to the severest tests under the most trying conditions, and yet the activity and solubility of the 'Tabloid' Drugs, with which they are fitted, have invariably withstood these trials successfully. They have been used by every important British Exploring Expedition of recent years, and have always received the. highest praise for their wonderful compactness and portability. The late Surgeon-Major Parke, Medical Officer to Stanley's Emin Relief Expedition, wrote: --" Superior to any form of medicine that I have used, not only for efficiency and constancy of strength, but also for extreme convenience of transport and rapid dispensing."

Amoeba Coli (Dysentence).--I was much surprised by the statement of Lafleur (Allbutt, System of Medicine, Vol. II, p. 762) that this amoeba has not yet been observed in India. I should think its presence was so frequent that nobody has troubled to record observations. Were not Cunningham's observations published in 1881 prior to those of all other observers? It is true he did not accuse the amoeba of leing the causative agent in dysentery or liver abscess; but however suspicious the evidence may be, our verdict must still be " not proven." In the experiments where amoebae have been injected into the rectum and dysentery resulted, the operator has injected not a pure culture of amoebae, but a quantity of dysenteric faeces as well. Further, he...

The correspondence between Sir Ronald Ross (1857-1932) and Sir Patrick Manson (1844-1922) is rich in both scientific and human terms. It records, in great detail, Ross's research in India between 1895 and 1899, which elucidated the role of mosquitoes in the transmission of malaria, work for which Ross was awarded the 1902 Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology. Ross described the mosquito-transmission theory as Manson's 'Grand Induction', and he had returned to India, where he was an officer in the Indian Medical Service, having been primed by Manson. Ross's regular letters to his mentor document the frustrations and false trails as well as the excitement of discovery. Manson in turn acted as a kind of agent in London, publicising his findings, offering advice and seeking to use his influence to secure for Ross the working conditions he so desired. These 173 letters, plus 85 from the two decades after Ross's return to Britain also record the rise and full of a relationship, as Ross's preoccupation with his place in the history of malariology led to a breach between the two men. Themes of priority, nationalism, and personal vanity punctuate this latter correspondence, which also reveals new insights about the golden years of tropical medicine. Ross included some of the correspondence in his Memoirs, but most of it appears here, fully annotated, for the first time.
