Since the last General Assembly, a. new Ron of the Members and Associates of the Order has bee)) reprinted and issued, and the Chapter desires to record its acknowledgments to the Registrar, the Chevalier Lieutenant-Colonel Gould HunterWeston, for the skill and care bestowed by him upon its complete revision. The medals of the Order have been awarded in five cases during the past year. That awarded to Captain G. Fred. Harris, of "The Buffs," which was alluded to in a foot note in the Report of last year, was presented to him by the Oame Chevaliere B.R.H. the Princess of Wales, at the Camp of the National Rifle Association, at Wimbledon, in the presence of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, and B.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge, and other Members of the Royal Family.

5 The bronze medal has been awarded to Edward ~10untjoy Price, for conspicuous gallantry displayed by him in the rescue, on the 13th Sept ember, 1880, at Ilfi:acombe, Devon, of a boy named George Williams, from a burning room ; Price afterwards r eturning and removing a barrel of gunpowder, charred by the flames, thus saving the lives of the firemen on the roof, who were working to extinguish the fir e, and who were in imminent danger from an explosion. The medD'! was present ed at a special public meeting held at the Town lIall, Ilfracombe, on the 10th January, 1881. The bronze medal has been awarded to J ames McGowan, Inspec tor of Roads for the Borough of Birkenhead, in r ecognition of the gallant and self-devoted exertions made by him under circumstances of great personal risk on 18th October, 1880, in rescuing from a sewer thrGe workmen named Michael Devaney, Robert Noble, and Thomas Sewell, who were insensible from the effect of lloxious gases, and one of whom (Devaney) expired Oll being brought to the surface. The medal was prel::lelltecl by the Chevalier Colunel ::-;ir J ames Bourne, Bart., a ~lember of the Council, at a public meeting held in the Stipendiary:Magistrates' Court, at Birkenhead, on the 2nd February, 1881, the Mayor of ,Birkenhead presiding.

at imminent clangcr, and at some injury to himself, two persons named Maurice Barnett and Helen Gunstone, whose lives WOllld have been sacrificed but for hi intrepid exertions. This Inec1RI was presented on the 18th of l\larch, 1881, by the Commander Sir E . L echmere, Bart., M.P., at a Public l\feeting held at the Theatre of the Royal United Service Institution.

has hitherto confined its operations, viz., the rases rec0mmendeJ by the medical authorities of Oharing Cross and King's College Hospitals. I believe, nevertheless, that they will see and acknowlerI ge the difficnlties with which 1 have been encompassed, attributable for the most part to my necessary absence from London, as well as to that of my late Assistant Almoner, Captain DOlnvile, of whose effective services, so long as he was able to Tender them, I was deprived towards the latter end of last year, in consequence of change of residence, which obliged him to resign his office. Th e Serving Brother, Ed ward Ryall, who was appointed in July last as Assistant to the Almoner in visiting and reporting on the cases relieved, has thoroughly fulfilled the expectations which I as well as your Receiver had formed of him. He has shewn himself most acti ve and intelligent in visiting the convalescents at their houses, and in gi\ing information concerning them, and has been most accurate in keeping the report book of such recipients. He will H,fford valuable aid whenever the extension of the system can be brought about.

The scheme for the instruction of soldiers' wives as nurses sketched out in the Paper read by the Dame Cheval icre Viscountess Strangford, at the General Assembly, on St . .John's Day, 1879, has 11 en thoroughly organizecl by her, with the aRsistance of the Cheva.lier l\faj or Duncan, and has been approven by H.R.H. the Field-l\larshal Commanding-in-Chief. The first examination of women who had gone through the course of instruction took place in April last, and was followed by a distribution of certificates and medallions, which were presented to the succeRsful pupils by Lady Strangford. The Report of the St. John Ambulance Association will be read by the Director of the Amb11lance Department, the Chevalier Major Duncan, R.A. It ~ill show the rapid alld successful prngress which the movement originated by the Order f01U' years ago haR attained, owing in a great measure to the continued energetic exertions of l\i(ajor Duncan, who has, with an expenditure of bodily and mental labour of no ordinary nature, as well as at considerable persona] cost, eRtablished during the past year several new centres and paid visits of inspection and encoun·t gement to others already formed. The Chapter desires also to acknowledge the valuable services rendered by the Chevalier Furley, who has not only devoted a great deal of his time and attention to the Store Department of tbe Ambulance Association (the sales effected by which during the past year amount to o\'er £1,4(0), and to the important l\1etropolitan District over which he presides, bllt has visited several Centres in order to give special lectures on ambulance drill and the transport of the injured. The Almoner reports as follows : I am llnable to announce in my yearly report any extension of the diet system beyond the limits within which the Order

In the early part of this year our Secretary and Receiver was enabled to enlist, for the performance of the duties of Assistant Almoner, the services of our confrere, Captain Gildea, a.nd at a meeting of the Committee appornted to consider the best means of extending our diet system it was suggested to the Chapter, and has been subsequently resolved that I should be aided by him as Assistant Almoner, and with such increased powers as to supply a remedy for the absence of the Almoner from London. I was very glad that uncleI' these circumstances I might still hope to fulfil satisfactorily the general duties of Almoner, and be enabled thus to retain that honourable position without prejudice to the objects and desires of the Orller. Endeavo.urs will at once be made by the Almoner and iSBistant Almoner to obtain funds for the purpose of extending the diet system, by publishing in the newspapers the letter drawn np for that object and approved by the Chapter, and I think it will be desira,ble that a certain number of copies of it are printed in order that they may be diRtributed by our confreres among their friends.

The following is the statemen t of diets, with cost, &c' 1 supplied to convalescent patients of the Charing Cross and King's College Hospitals during the past year : -

The Commander of the Hanley Castle Commandery reports as follows :The diet system, which has now been so successfully worked for several years in connection with the '"fV Ol'cester Dispensary, iH still being carried on with good results. In the last Report it was stated that the Commandery had taken a bed for six months at the West of England Sanatorium at ,Veston-super- 1are. Dming that time eight convalescent patients were sent to 'Veston for different periods, varying from two to five weeks. The whole of these rehuned greatly improved in health, and, in some cases, completely restored, entirely owing to the advantage of a short residence at this excellent institution. The patients themselves, as well as the medical attendants who recommended them, have given grateful testimony to the benefits derived from their stay at this health-giving resort. In consequence of the satisfactory results connected with this expcriment, the Commanc1cry has agaiu decided to expend £20 of its funds in the same manner during the summer months this year.

The following table gives the usual statement of diets, with cost, &c., supplied to cOllvalescent patients of the W Ol'cester Dispensary.

The Dean and Chapter of Worcest er Cathedral have again given an offertory towards the w( Irk of the Commandery. The sum collected amounted to £5 10 O. The Chapter has continued its negotiation for the acquisition of a site at Jerusalem for a Hospice of the Order, and a visit made to that place by Sir Edmund and Lady Lechrnere last autumn, afforded an opportunity of gaining further information, more especially with a view to connect some practical Hospitaller work with this long contemplated object. After conferring with the Consul; Mr. Noel Temple Moore, and Dr. Chaplin, the principal medical practitioner at Jerusalem,

Sir Edmund Lechmere came to the conclusion that, looking to the extensive prevalence of affections of the eyc amongst the working population of Jerusalem and its neighbourhood, it would b e impo sible to find an object the value of which would be more immediately felt and appreciated than a dispensary for ophthalmic cases. Vnth the kind assistance of Mr. Moore and his Chancellor, M. Selami (since dead), he thoroughly insp ected the sites which had been suggested by the Turkish authorities, and also others which had been recommended by Dr. Chaplin as being especially suited for the purpose. Sir Edmund Lechmere communicated to the Chapter h eld in December last, a report of his visit, and at thA following Chapter held in F ebruary, the subject was fully discussed, and a resolution adopted in favour of the appointment of a committee to consider the question of endeavouring to obtain a site at J ernsalem for the purpose of establishing, with the aid of the public, a Hospice of the Order, to include a dispensary for ophthalmic cases. A committee, consisting of the following members and associates of the Order, was appointed, with power to adcl to its numbf:-r. The ]Harquis Conyngham. The Earl of Glasgow. The Earl of Shaftesbury, K.G. General the Viscount TemplAtown, K.C.B. The Bishop of Gibraltar. Sir Edmund Lechmere, Bart., M.P. Major-General E. S. Burnaby, M.P. Captain Perrott. Mr. George P alm er, Juny. Mr. Edwin Freshfieln, F.S.A. Dr. Laseron. Major G. E. W. Malet.. Together with the British Consul at Jerusalem, Mr. Noel T. Moore, and Dr. Chaplin. At a meeting of the Committee h eld in March, Lord Glasgow was elected Chairman, Sir E. Lechmere, Deputy-ChairmHn, and Major Malet, Secretary.

Mr. R. Reynolds Rowe was subsequently added to the Committee. Major Malet, the Secretary, would be glad to receive the nam es of any members and associates of the Order who are interested in this special work, and who desire to further its accomplishment. At the request of Major ~ifal et, his relative, Sir Philip Cunliffe Owen, brought the objects which the Chapter have had in ,-:lew b efore the notice of H.R.H. the Prince of \il\7ales, who at once most graciously expressed the greatest desire to aid in promoting its SLlCcess, and undertook to convey to the Sultan through the Turkish Ambassador in England, his own personal request that a suitable site might be granted for the purposes named. A memorandum fully explaining the objects and intentions of the Chapter, prepared by Sir E. L echmere, has been sent to General Sir Dighton Probyn, the Equerry of His Royal Highness, for transmission to Musurus Pacha. The following is the fiTst report of the Jerusalem Hospice Committee : Yonr COlmnittee congratulates the Order on being able to report that the prospects of establishing a British Hospice at J erusalem are brighter now than they have ever been before; and that they have every hope that. ere long the English Langue win obtain a pied a te'l're in the Holy City, the birth-place of the Order. Bearing in mind the noble motto of the Order, P1'O 'utilitate hominum, your Committee desires to combine with the Hospice, a dispensary for the treatment of ophthalmia, the scourge of Sp'ia, and especially of the district round J erusalem, for which disease no special Hospital exists in or near J erusalem. Your Committee has secured the warm and hearty co-operation in this scheme, of the British Consul at J erusalem, ~1r. Noel Moore, and of the principal medical practitioner, Dr. Chaplain; both of whom are members of the Committee, as local r epresentatives. n.R.H. the Prince of 'Vales has expressed his interest in the work, and will exert his powerful influence to obtain a suitable site as a grant from the Turkish Authorities. Should this request be acceded to, your Committee has every hope that

no difficulty will be found in collccting in England the necessary funds whiuh will enable it to proceed with the work, a work which will shew in no slight degree the vitality of the Order, and its principles in being evcr foremost in works of mercy. The Receiver's Accounts for the past year have been examined and audited. The Cash Balance to the credit of the Langue at the London and ,Vestminster Bank amounts to £405 7s. lOd. That on the Medal Account is £60 Os. 5cl. The capital of the Langue amounts to £388; cOllsisting of £288 invested in £12058. Bank Stock; and £100 invested in Queensland four per ccnt. Government Bonds. The Librarian reports the following presentations to the L ibrary during the past year ;NAME OF WORK.

'1'he Chapter has great satisfaction in recording the increasing interest shewn by the public in the English Langue of the Order, evinced as it has been in so marked a degree by the cordial support given to its Ambulance Department, which, under the more familiar name of the 8t. John Ambulance Association, is rapidly becoming an Institution of a National character. The Chapter hopes to see a corresponding accession of eligible candidates fur admission to the ranks of the Langue, and above all to secure such continued and united efforts on the part of its members and associates generally, as may still fuxther tend to promote tbe prosperity and usefulness of this venerable Branch of the Order of St. J ohn.

NOTES ON THE OLD HOSPITALS OF THE ORDER.

No relics can be more interesting to Hospitallers than those connected with the speuial work and purpose of their institution. In this point of view we feel an interest even in those barren controversies which raged in bygone times as to the exact details of the foundation, demcation, and status of the original hospice at J erusalem, soon we hope to have its work revived by the judicious exertions of our indefatigable secretary; and are eontent to read pages of learned argument, of which the folios of the last century are full, as to the claims of John Hyrcan us, Charlemagne, or the Abbot of the Augustinian Convent of Naples to be the original founder; whether St. John Baptist or the Greek Bishop of Alexandria, known as John the Almoner, were its patron saint; and if Gerard, the first Grand Master, were a monk or a soldjer. All these are matters of mere curiosity, but no detailed information is preserved concerning the actual management of the hospitals at Jerusalem, at Acre, or at Rhodes, although we may be sure that they formed an impOl·tant part of the daily routine of the Order at all these places. That in every p]ace where the estates of the Knights of St. John were situated, some recognition of this, the special work of the Order, was made, is evident from many scattered indications, to one of which I may briefly r efer on account of its clu"iosity. It iR given by Paciaudus, from an in scription in the Church of Ht. James in Florence, and is an invocation to the Blessed Virgin and ":Messer St. Giovanni" on the part of the "poor afflicted in hands and feet," a description by which, our author informs us, we are to understand the epileptics, whose malady was known in the 15th century by the name of the Disease of St. J ohn, and who \,ore his image as an amulet against the attacks of the terrible infirmity. Paciaudus, who \,Tote at Rome in the middle of the ]ast century, gives a legend ascribing the origin of the name to miraculous curE'S performed at CreteiJ, in 2

France, but, with some acumen, remarks that the connection of St. John's name with the disease and its treatment was too widely diffu ed to have had its origin in so obscure a source. These, however, are questions of antiquarian speculation rather than practical bellefit. It is different whcn we shift our ground to Malta, where we have the actual buildings erected by the Religion for the care of the sick, and the details of the system adopted for the r elief of the infirm and indigent preserved for our examination. At first I was not able to piece together the scattered items of information which presented themselve~, but on my second 'visit to the island my former experience stood me in better stead, and I hope to be able to give somethwg like a sketch of the charitable work of the Knights, and a brief description of the buildings. On the arrival of the Order in 1\1alta in 1530 they found a hospital aheady in existence, at the ancient capital, Citta Vecchia. This was the institution now known as Santo Spirito, which, having been entirely rebuilt and remodelled by Grand Master Manoel de Vilhena, is still used as a civil hospital for a small number of patients. But its distance from the harbour was no doubt the r eason why a new hospital was erectC'd in the Vittoriosa, or Borgo City, near the harbouT and Fort St. Angelo. Of this huilding, now used as a nunnery, very scanty remains are preserved, the greater portion having been rebuilt in the last century. I have already noted the old doorway, where, though the arms have been hacked away, the introduction of the pomegranate into the ornamentation indicates a Spanish influence. But a curious relic exists in the ancient chapel, of which I am now able to quote a description from a Maltese magazine published nearly forty years ago . The archit.ecture of the chapel is Lombard, remarkable for its elegance. Each capital is of distinct design, and a frieze of cherubs' heads with interlaced wings surmount them . The date, 1533, and the arms of Delisle Adam mark the epoch. A picture in monochrome above the principal arch represents our Lord, armed with arrows, surrounded by angels; on one side the Blessed Virgin praying, Fili miserere, on the other St. J obn Baptist, Clwiste misere?'e; behind them again figures of Elloe;h and Elijah, in profile, kneeling. Tbe back-

ground is powdered wlth fieurs-cle-lys, and below are two escutcheons, by one of which is the date, 1557. Soon after this time, however, in 1575, the hospital wa transferred to the other side of the grand harbour, where, in close proximity to Fort St. Elmo, an unfortunate situation as to sanitary requirements, the building, of which the ground plan is before you, was erected. The Report of the Commission on Mediterranean Barracks and Hospitals says : "It is situated on the south eastern side of Valetta, close to the grei:;l,t harb our, from whence it is separated by a narrow public road and wall. The site is the lowest on that side of the town, and all the ground falls towards it." During some exca,ations for the purposes of the sewerage scheme, while I was at Valetta, the workmen came upon a chamber or passage originally, no doubt, extending from below the hospital beneath the road to the beach, but afterwards cut off by masonry. This was a covered way to the sea, and was one of the advantages the original builders of the hospital pruposed to themselves in the situation they chose. Uuhappily the wind, to which the sea face of the hospital is exposed is the sirocco, whose enervating qualities are well known. Fort St. Elmo shelters it from the healthy north and north-west winds, and, until the sewerage scheme which I have mentioned is completed, the drains of a great part of the town are discharged illto the sea close to the building. This is much to be regretted, as the great ward or hall is a superb monument of architectural skill. I was mis-led last year by one of the printed histories into understating its length as 184 feet. It is in fact 503 feet in length internally, 34 ft. 10 ill. wide, and 30 ft. 6 in. high-one of the grandest interiors in the world. The apartment at right angles also forms part of tho same great hall, but is divided, as is the hall itself, by party walls about 12 feet high. All down the sea side of the apartment are little niches, one to every two beds, IV hich, with the same strange disregard of the alphabet of sanitary science, were intended for latrines. The windows, until 18G3, were very small, not giving more than one fifteenth of the proportionate space to the cubic contents of the hall. They were, moreover, clo e to

the roof, so that, as the ]'eport says, the wards are dark and dismal, besides, being close, and the ail' always more 01' less stagnant, while there is nothing for the sick to look at, not even the sky, besides the dead walls and their sick comrades opposite. Dluing the regime of the Knights I find that the walls were hlUlg with tapestries, and that pictures by Matteo Preti and others were also placed there at certain times of the year. To those who look at sanitation with the eyes of the 17th century there is nothing but admiration to be given to the costly and lavish arrangements of the building, but unhappily om' improved knowledge shows us the mistakes which were made with the best intentions.

judicious addition was made of certain rooms and passages now used as stores. Outside the walls of the Hospital were several auxilIary buildings for wr),shing of linen, etc.) and a blu'ial ground where the Knights were laid in their mantles "like warriors taking their rest, with their martial cloaks around them."

In 1662 a considerable reconstruction of the buildings is stated to have taken place, but the great altcration was that of Grand J\1aster Perellos, who erected a new front towards Strada Mercanti, a pharmacy, rooms for officers, etc. 'This addition, howe,er, had the effect of still further intensifying the disadvantages of the situaitnn, for the level of the entrance from Strada Mercanti being 35 feet above the existing quadrangle, the lofty buildings on the higher level shnt out still more air and1ight from those below them. The date of this alteration was 17] 2, and has a curious record in the obliteration of the arms of Grand Hospitallers £:om 1681 to 1720, where the arch is broken through at the end of the ward, wbich is ornamented with these heraldic records. I have aheady mentioned that Perellos' arms are in the pharmacy and on the fountain . Grand Mastel' Caraffa's arms are at the end of the great ball, where there are traces of a shrine and an altar. Grand Master Verdala's arms are on a boss on tbe stairs, and at the end of the upper corridor three :BeUl'sde-lys, quartered by the Cross, are, I still Lhink, intended for Vignacourt, though erroneously drawn. A very excellent local antiquary has argued that they are intended for the escutcheon of France, to siglJify the privilege which the French Langue had of providing the Grand Hospitaller. I would object that if that were the intention they would not be quartered with the Cross in the manner restricted to Grand ]\lasters alone. The chapel for the reservation of the Holy Sacrament was added in 1712, being placed opposite the ward for the dying, and in 1780 a very in-

This brings me to the question of the funds of the Order. In 1788 the sum annually remitted by the twenty-nine agents who administered the European estates of the Order from Lisbon to Warsaw, combined with the property in convent, at headquarters, amounted to 1,315,209 scudi; from which they expended on the great Hospital, that for women, and the foundlings, 104,300 scudi (among foundlings, children of indigent parents were always admitted). In 1777 the Order entered into a compact with the Order of St. Anthony (founded in Dauphigny in 1218 for sufferers under St. Anthony's fire) on terms which, witb a view to free possession at a futUl'e date, involved an excess of expenditlue of about 75,000 scudi a year, a loss which was calculated would continue with gradual diminution till 1794, when a net income would reilun, and go on increasing till 1879, when the outlay with interest would be repaid, and the annual income reach 120,000 French livres. Unfortunately in 1792 the whole property of the Order was confiscated by the French Government, and thus the sum of 471,784 scudi was lost to the Order, exclusive of these Antonine estates, on which the total loss exceeded a million scudi. N otwithstancling these adverse circumstances, I do not find any climinution of the charity of the Order, The Frellch traveller St. Priest, in 1791, speaks of the hospital as" an asylum open to the sufferers of every cOlmtry and religion," and in 1796, the hospitals, foundlings, and alms stood at 146,481 scucli. It is true that the Ulllavnluable description given of the hospital by Howard in 1786, suggests a suspicion of parsimony. He

The total number of halls or wards, as enumerated in 1796, were twelve, and four supplementary chambers. There were also connected with the IIospit,al out-door Medical assistance for the poor of Valetta and the affiliated towns, for which physicians were set apart, a,nd a system of doles or allowances of food and money, which continued in a restricted form until after the English occupation.

says there were only 22 servants, while, in the regulations of 1796, 38 was the number prescribed for the ordinary attendance, beside the cooks, di pensers, washermen, &c., not taking account of the honora.ry services rendered by the knights: but Howard was imperfectly cwquainted with the regulations. as he shows by his compla.int that pewter was partia.lly substituted for silver in the service of the wards, whereas the regulations expressly prescribe that the gente di catena, galley slaves, or malefactors, of whom there were many in hospital, should be servec1 on pewter only. The real defect of the hospital throughout seems to have been the total want of the elemelltary knowledge of the principles of sanitation, displayed in almost every arrangement of the building, for, though the deprivation of air and of cheerfulness so much condemned by the Commissioners} Report, is in some degree due to the absolute need of exclusion of light for the sake of coolness in the l\1altese climate anyone who studies the interesting printed regulations preserved in the Archives at Valletta, bearing date 1726, will see the singular inaptitude of the system in many of those points which modern medical science considers essential. The document itself is too lengthy even to summarise in a short paper. I propose with the permission of the Order, to publish a translation of it, with such notes as will afford a compendious view of the history and management of tbis most interesting relic of the Knights Hospitallers of St. J obu, and thus furnish some aCGurate data by which to estimate the yalue of their work

ANNUAL REPORT, ST.

JOITN'S

DAY, 1881.

IN continuance of the system established in the year 1878, and acted upon in the following years, the narrative of the work done by the Order of St. J ohn,-whr-ther in the instruction of pupils in the first treat·mAnt of injured pprsons, or in the spread of useful ambulance mate?'iel,-will be embodied in the Report of the Director of the Ambulance Department. In March 1878, it was unanimously decided that all the am bubnce work, whether carried on directly by the Order, or indimctly through the St. John Ambulance Association, should be under the superintendence of the Ambulance Commit.tee of the Order,-a committee upon which none but members or associates could serve. T..:le .3ystem has worked successfully; by means of it many merur.ers of the Order have been enabled to lend special help and supenision to hospitaller work in many parts of the country, and have 'felt a reality in their connection with a historical body, where hitherto, perhaps, there had been only sentiment and affection. It has also been the means of attracting to the Order many new and distinguished members, who admired the modern and appropriate development of so old and so noble a work. And, at the same time, the system provjdes a central administrative alld executive body, which can enforce rules, and make suggestiolls, with an authority which no committee of men, unqualified by membership, could claim. The many local committees scattered over the Empire have rendered a ready and 10,":::t1 obedience to the Central Committee so constituted. The Director of the Ambulance Department in every Annual Report since he took office, has had to congratulate the Order on the growth of the work, owing to the self-denying labom's of his colleagues, the avidity of pupils, and public sympathy. It is

gratifying to him to have to report at the end of another year, that the work hR.s increased on a scale quite unprecedented; and the gratification is enhanced by the feeling that as it is probably the last occasion on which his military duties will allow him to make this Report, he has a special pleasure in handing over his department in a state of efficiency, and in successful working. Last year it was stated with satisfaction that many large towns and important industrial centres had been reached by the exertions of the Central Committee, and were availing themselves of that simple instruction in rendering aid to the injtued,-pending the_ anival of medical assistance,-which the Order of St. John is seeking to place at the disposal of all. The list of such centres of instruction has been lengthened this year by the addition of such towns as Portsmouth, Southampton, Folkestone, Basingstoke, Ramsgate, Nottingham, Halifax, Ferry Hill, Carlisle, Whitehaven, \ 7Vrexham, Chester, Warrington, Bedford, Sandgate, VV-est Hartlepool, Stroud, ann several others. One centre, Dublin, which had been formed, but not visjted by any member of the Central Committees at the date of the last Annual Report, has been remarkably active and successful, no fewer than 35 classes having been under instruction, containing a gross total of 1,213 pupils, during the' past year. In addition to the centres, with Local Committees, mentioned in the Appendix to this Report, detached classes under the direct supervision of the Central Committee have been held at Cambridge, Surbiton, Brixton, Hayward's Heath, Dulwich, Clapham, Harrow, Harpenden, Worthing. CanonbUl'y, Godalming, Hawkhurst, Hampton Court, Bagshot, Stamford Hill, :Maidenhead, Tiverton, Tavistock, Bury St. Edmunds, Sedbel'gh, South Shields, Richmond, North Finchley, Newbury, vVandsworth (now a centre), Ewell, Sunningdale, Liskeard, Dursley, Slough, Ledbury, Cranbrook, Forest Gate, Hitchin, Chelmsford, Belfast, Eastbourne, Lincoln, Bath, Glasgow, Hawick, Chichester, Havant, Newport, Farnborough Road Station, Lewisham, and many other places. In the Lake District, a group of small centres was arranged, and no fewer than 22 classes received instruction. In I.Jondon, the number of classes has greatly increased, both in the City and in the Metropolis generally. The work is becoming more generally understood and popular, and the employers of labour are beginning to realize its impor-

tance. Some very interesting meetings have been held in connection with it, notably one in the Mansion House, under the Lord MayO!', at which some hundreds failed to obtain admission; another in Kensington, at which H.R.H the Princess 1\1ary, Duchess of Tecle, who is now a Member of the Order, presented certificates to many successful pupils; one at Sydellham, when Major-Gelleral Sir F. S. Roberts, Bart., G.C.B., made the presentation; and two in the theatre of the Royal United Service Institution. Under the active supervision of the Ohairmen of Districts in the J\1etropolis, most of whom. as will be seen by the Appendix, belong to the Central Committee and to the Order, the work is certain to make rapid and unwearying strides. The instruction of the Police, all over the country, in the hanclling of injured persons, is l)ecoming very general, and the results have a subjective as well as an objective value. In the Metropolitan Police, classes are constantly at work, and the Secretary of State for the Home Department has recognized the value of the instruction by making an annual grant sufficient to cover the cost of the handbooks and class rnateTiel, which had hitherto been supplied gratuitously by the Central Committee. Many Volunteer Corps have also received instruction, and are now in possession of useful ambulance mateTiel, and the requisite knowledge for an intelligent use of it. The same applies to many other bodies of men, more or less organized, such as railway employes, factory hands, dock labourers, &c. Considerable improvement has been made in ambulance 1nate1'iel by Mr. John Fluley, the Director of Stores. A summary of the transactions in his department is appended, and the magnitude of the operations is a good evidence of the activity of the year now ended. Considerable additions to the literature in connection with the ambulance work of the Order have been made dluing the year. The excellent handbook of the late Surgeon- fajor Shepherd ha. , after passing through a sale of thirty thousand copies, been revised by a medical sub-committee, and re-published iJ! similar form. Two handbooks for the N llTsing Classes, prepared by H. Crookshank, Esq., 1\1.R.C.S.,-and another, prepared by E. l\1acDow 1 Cosgrave, Esq., 1\1.D., have been pubE hed. These nursing classes for women are both popular and useful.

8 A llew edition has been published of the pamphlet containing a de cription of the St. John ambulance wheeled lit tor, the sale of which during the past year has exceeded that in any former year. Thirty-eight of these ambulances have been supplied, since last Report, to the Metropolitan Police alone, and others bave been supplied to the following places, viz., Norwich, Halifax, Monkwearmouth, Liverpool (3), Stockton-on-Tees, Penistone, Esher, Sunderland (2), Carlisle (2), Aberdare, Southampton, East and West India Docks, Warrington, N ewcastle-on-Tyne, Camber well, and Hull. As all these ambulances bear the name and badge of the Order, they help to awaken enquiry, and to perpetuate the history of a work which has been intermittent, but should now be enduring. The kindly feeling of the members of the medical profession towards the work of the .department continues, and must be gratefully acknowledged. It is not an empty boast, or an unfounded opinion) to say that this kindly feeling has now been earned by the pupils) whose loyalty and modesty have called forth universal recognition, and it is to be hoped that the situation will never be changed. The ambulance pupil has his position clearly defined, and he need never cross the line which separates him from the province of the trained medical man. And yet his mission is a usif~&l one, and being useful, is honourable. Both in the metropolis and the provinces, hospitals have been placed at the disposal of the classes, and the consequent advantages have been very great. The hospitals in London, which during the past year have been so used, have been King's College, St. Thomas', and the Royal Hospital for Children and Women. To the Governing Bodies of these hospitals the thanks of the Order are due. . A_s a proof, in conclusion, of the spread of the work dUTing the year ending on St. John's Day, 1881, it may be mentioned that at the last ::Thifonthly Meeting of the Central Committee, reports were presented of HiO examinations) and that sometimes 1,000 pupils _ receive certificittes in a single month. It has become a national work, and the nation is realizing the fact. It is an occupation which is ta:::-:nished by no motives of se1£aggTandisement or avarice) and one which cannot fail to be refining and elevating. It provokes the purest sympathies) and the loftiest

9 resol ves; 110r do the resolves and sympathies rest sati. tied without practical expression. As a humanitarian and unselfish work, it rises above the sea of rivalries, and competitions, and dislikes) which are too often found in the fierceness of living: and in pursuing it, men bury theil' differences, and unite their aims.

The following gratifying letter, lately forwarded to the Central Executive Committee of the St. J OM Ambulance Association) at St. John's Gate, is a proof of the high appreciation in which this philanthropic movement for teaching" first aid to the injured" is held by the medical profession :-

" ,IVe, the

surgeons connected with the Poplar Hospital) have much pleasure in testifying to the excellent work done by the St. John Ambulance Association. We have noticed that) since the formation of classes at the docks for aid to the injured) the persons brought to the hospital suffering from accidellts have been saved much pain before being admitted, owing to the prebminary treatment which they have received at the hands of members of the Association.

' iVithlli the last few Iveeks a litter, constructed under the direction of 1\1r. J. Furley, has been adopted in addition to tho N euss-Manley Litter which was patented by the Order of St. John. The new litter consists of a folding Stretcher with automatic pillow and removable cover, resting without any fastenings on four small iron crutches, with an under carriage of two wheels on elliptical springs. One great advantage of this vehicle is that the bearers can pass wi.th the stretcher between the wheels and over a low crank axle, and thus the lifting over the wheels is avoided.

Great improvements have been made in the stretcher, and quite lately an automatic pillow has been substituted for the somew hat complicated pillow hitherto in use. The Director of Stores is still of opinion that for civil purposes fixed feet for the stretcher should be retained, but for military use he is prepared to issue :::;tretchers with folding legs.

The periodical reports furnishecl by the Centres are so numerous that it is necessarily impossible to print even a selection from them. The contents are, however, as a rule of so interesting a nature that it has been decided to insert the following-even although at the risk of appearing invidious-as a specimen of the work being carried on, not merely in the Metropolis alone) but in so many other large tOWLl S all over the Kingdom.

No. II DISTRIC'l' (MErrROPOLITA~ CENTRE),

. p.. •

THIS being the first Report that has been issued since the work of the Association was extended to this District, it wBl be necessary to describe briefly the manner of its development. There are many reasons why a prominent lead was not taken by the City of London, which has never been backward in undertakings having for their object the good of humanity, but undoubtecliy the most important obstacle was the magnitude of the work compared with the staff and the financial position of the Association. The Authorities at the General Post Office, and the DiTectors and Officers of the East Rnd West India Docks, were the first to recognize the advantage of the movement) and classes were formed amongst the employes at St. Martin's Ie Grand, and also at the Custom House, with very satisfactory results. But it was not until 1879 that the City and Port of London was formed into a separate district. It was then decided that the

I-t Olasses must be chiefly recrwted from those whose lives brill oo' them most freqnently in contact with accidents, such as policemen, dock employes, warehousemen, printers, mechanics, &c. For this purpose instruction in first aid to the injured was made free to all, and it was hoped that the merchants of London and large employers of labour would subscribe towards the payment of the necessary expenses as soon as the advantages were made apparent to them. But money was not the only thing needed. In the Oity especially, where every foot of space has a large commercial value, it is not an easy thing to obtain the use of a lecture room suitable for a mixed class of pnpils without making a permanent engagement at considerable expense, and for this there was no adequate fund. The Hall over the old gate of St. John was placed at the disposal of the Ohairman by the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, and in this two or three courses of Lectures have been boi ven to men of various social positions drawn from different parts of London. These lectures were gratuitous, and cont.ributions from those attending was quite optional. In 1879 a small SectionalOommittee was formed in Lower East Smithfield, and the work has been carried on here by local gentlemen in the most satisfactory manner. This is an example which the Ohairman of No. II District begs most earnestly to recommend, as it is only in tllis manner by a subdivision of labour, and the co-operation of those having influence in special localities, that the work can be successfully carried on in populous quarters of the Metropolis. Good results have been obtained from the City Police Olasses, and it is hoped that the Authorities will continue to accord such facilities as may permit a yearly examination of all Officers and Oonstables who gain the certificates of the Association. The difficulty of obtaining suitable rooms for Olasses, to wllich reference has been already made, was overcome in two cases which deserve especial mention. Messrs. Oassell, P etter, Galpin and 00., engaged a room at the Memorial Hall, Farringdon Street, for a course of lectures, which were given to their employes, and Messrs Lamprell and Co., of Oannon Street, lent a room in theil warehouse for a similar purpose, and the lectures were open to all who chose to attend them.

Excellent Olasses have been held at the Locomotive Works of the Great Eastern Railway at Stratford, and not the least interesting fact is that one has lately met weekly in the lamp-room under the platform at Liverpool Street Station. This was composed of the Station :Master, Superintendents, and Porters employed at that important terminus. Good Olasses have also been held at the Surrey Oommercial Docks, with the approval and encouragement of the Ohairman and Directors of that Oompany, and with their consent notice boards are to be posted at different points on their large premises indicating where ambulance materiel may be found in case of accident. Attention has been more particularly drawn to the above Olasses, in order to indicate those which can be the most usefully and easily formed; but mention should also be made of Classes held at Victoria Docks (male and female, the former principally composed of artisans and dock labourers), at Somerset House, and at the offices of the London School Board, at the St. Luke's Working Men's Olub in Old Street, at Stratford (exclusively for the Memuers of the 1st Essex Artillery Volunteers), as well as Classes for Ladies at Finsbury Square College, and at Highgate. As the General Report of the Association shows, during the last twelve months GU8 men and 151 women have attended a complete course of lectures in this district, making a tota.l since the commencement of 1,472, and of these GG4 have received certificates. The receipts during the year amount to £205 15s. 1d., and the expenditure to £179 Os. 10d., but this does not include expenscs incurred at the Oentral Office of the Association. It will thus been seen that the precuniary outlay has not been a large one. By the kind permission of the Lord Mayor a meeting was held at the Mansion House, on February 15th, over which his Lordship presided; strong resolutions in favour of the work of the Association were then passed. Since that time the Merchant Taylors Oompanyand the Haberdashers Oompany have kindly made gTants towards the funds, and a few subscribers have buen added to the list. The Ohairmlln of this very important District would strongly appeal to all employers of labour in the City ana Port of London

to support a work which has already done so much towards the th~ mitigation of physical suffering; and he would particularly pomt out that, although the receipts apparently more than cover the expenditure, this could not be done without considerable gratuitous exertions, which, however willingly they may be given, cannot be permanently relied on.

certain cases, as in the Chemists Assistants' course, and the Girls' Friendly and Mothers' l\t[eetings Classes, and also the Grosvenol' School course, r have reduced the fees-in some instances charging a nominal amount, and in others allowing members to attend free. The expenses of these classes have been defrayed partly by the District Fund, and partly by the subscriptiun of some ladies who attended the classes and paid full fees. By this means it is hoped that the important knowledge which it is the object of the Association to impart has been placed within the reach of a large class of people to whom it will be particularly In the case of two of these special courses, Mr. useful. A. S. Eccles delivered the lectures gratuitously, for which he deserves the special thanks of the Committee. Every successful candidate of last year received, wjth the certificate, a copy of Mr. Furley's resolution and the regulations as to re-examination. Few have as yet availed themselves of them. However, in the autumn and winter special re-examination classes will be formed, and an Hon. Sec. appointed to carry out this particular branch of the work in this district. I found that many of the Police in the district had already passed through the course at Scotland Yard; but special classes for those who have not so passed will be formed in the autumn. I failed to get up a cla3s among the Railway Porters at Paddingtoll, but shall make another attempt in the winter. My thanks are again specially due to the Rev. R. Haweis for his active co-operation in our work, and to Messrs. Chiosso for their liberally placing their large gymnasium at our disposal for men's classes ;-also to Viscountess ~trangford, who organized two large clas~es at her own house, acting as Hon. Sec. ;-to l\1iss Clavering, who carried out the duties of Hon. Sec. in five courses of classes-and to many others who have devoted considerable time and labour to forward the movement. By the kindness of the Rev. G. Prescott, nine courses have been held in the St. Michael's School and Parish Rooms, which he placed at the disposal of the Association. I have again to thank the members of the Staff at St. John's Gate for their admirable arrangements and active co-operation, which alone has enabled me to dispense with the assistance of any regularly paid Secretary in the district work.

the stipulated time required, and in many instances gave extra lectures to secure the success of their pupils. We should like especially to place on record the valuable services rendered by Dr. Walter Tyrrell. Fifty ladies and twelve men presented themselves and passed the re-examination. The successful meeting on Easter Tuesday for the presentation of over 150 certificates by H er Royal Highness Princess IVIary Adelaide Duchess of Teck, will we trust help to the extension of the work not only in this, but other centres. Our best thanks are due to the Vestry of Kensington for liberally granting the use of the Town Hall, free of charge, for the occasion. Oertificates were also presented by Lady Brassey to the successful pupils of the free class at the Kensington Infirmary. To the OJergy throughout the district, one and all, we owe much of our success in the interest taken by them in making the movement known among their Parishioners, in placing their School or Parish Rooms at our disposal, &c.; and we feel sure we shall cause no invidious distinction by especially naming one whose hand and interest are never withheld from promoting and encouraging any good work-we need hardly say, we allude to the Hon. and Rev. E. Oarr-Glyn, the estimable Vicar of Kensington. Lastly, to our numerous Subscribers and Donors (increasing, ,YO are glad to say, each year) our most sincere thanks are due, for enabling us to hold many free classes, and to hand over to our Executive Committee the handsome sum of £150 towards extending our work in poorer districts, where so many are willing to learn, but so few able to pay.

In presenting our Annual Report for this district, the second since its formation into a centre, we are glad to be able to show an increased vitality in the work and aim of our Association. The classes for Ladies (preliminary) have, as in the previous ~Tear, been predominant, and the desire to attend the" N tusing " classes much on the increase. There have been sixteen" preliminary" and four (( advanced" classes held-of the formeT' five llave been f?W, yiz., three for women anLl two for men-for women, two were held at (( The Evening College for \Vomen at Brompton," and one at (( The Kensington Infirmary." Those for men were chiefly composed of men of the Police Force, sixty-two of whom have now received certificates in this clistrict. The table accompanying this Report will show the numbers who have attended the classes, and those who have obtained certificates; but does not include the following very satisfactory results, viz., that the number of unsuccessful candidates at the examinations, including the free classes, does not average two in eD-ch class. These results, we consider, are chiefly o,ying to the very great p ,lins taken by the Lecturers, who in all cases devoted more than

N O TE.-The Life and Annual Members attached to Centres arc n(,t in cluded in the foregoing lists, but are shown in Appendix C.

IT is usual to hold an I naugural Public Meeting, presided over by the Mayor or other local dignitary, and attended by a Deputation from the Oentral Executive Oommittee, to explain the objects of the movement. The sy tcm adopted is then as follows :Ca.) The formation of an influential local Committee, with Ohairman, Trea mer, and IIonorary Secretary. (b.) The formation of cla. Res C eparate) for persons of both sexes. ( c.) The securing the . crvices of a competent medical gentleman, who will undertake the duties of Lecturer gratuitously. (d.) The formation of a Ladies' Oommittee (when re1uisite). (e.) Obtaining the u e of a suitable room, such as a Volunteer Drill h d, • choolroom, or Imilar b1lilding, or in a private house, where lecture can be delivered. (I) Th collection of ub. criptions to defray local expenses, and to furni h contribution to head-quarters to carryon and extend the work of the A' ociation. (g.) The enrolling for entry in the Register kept at the Head Offices the names of certificated pupil. "ho would consent in War time to a si" t the Order of .. t . John in certain capacities, a Ii. t of which can be obtained from the Ohief 3ecretary. FrNA. cE.-Rec ipts for local sub criptions will be given by the Treasur 1's or IIonorary ec1'etaries of Centres from receipt books supplied by the Chief ecretary. AU local expenses will be defrayed by the Treasurers or Honorary Secretarie of Centres out of uu c1'iptions received. Balance heet or tat ment of receipts ann expenditure at each Oentre i annually ent in to the Ohief Secretary, not later than J une l!sth. This mu t be igncd, and certified as correct, by the Chairmall, Hon. ecretal'Y and Treasurer, or if a Treasurer be not appointed, by one other Member of the Local Oommittee. It is expected that at the annual settlement of accounts in June, a sum will be remitted to St. John's Gate of sufficient amount to cover the cost incurred during the previous twelve months in sending Examiners (who are paid one guinea each class examined, and fir t -cla s C

36 travelling expenses), and in supplying Certificates and; printed matter, as well as to assist in defraying the working expenses of the Association, and especially to leave as large a balance as possible as a contribution towards the maintenance of the work among poor Oentres and Olasses which can contribute nothing in diminution uf the cost they entail on the Oentral Fund. OOURSE OF INSTRUCTION.-This consists of five lectures, followed by an Examination . The subjects bught are detailed in the Syllabus. The last half-hour is devoted to practical work: such as the application of bandages and 8plints, restoration of the apparently drowned, lifting the injured, carrying on stretr.hers, &c., &c. The examiner is sent down bv the Oentral Oommittee. report is made by him, and certific;tes of proficiency are awarded to ncce flll Oandidates. ":M.ATERIEL" REQUIRED.-The articles required for the 11S0 of the Classes are, a (Furley pattern) tretcher (price 42s.); a set of physiological Oharts or Diagrams (price 30s.); a set of common Splints, a Field Tourniqupt, and a supply of plain Roller and Triangular Bandages. All these can be obtained from the Director of Stores . 31,000 copies of a "ery u ful IIandbook (price one hilling eacb), compiled for the expre s use of the cla se by the late urg'eon-Major P. Shepherd, A.M.D ., an IIonorary ociate of the Order of t. John (killed at [sandula), are already in circulation as well as a small Po ket "Aide- Iemoire," by the same author, price in linen-lined Envelope 4d. each, or (in packets) 3s. per dozen; and the Oommittee strongly recommend the Illustrated Esmarch bandage (price 6d. each) bearing printed diagrams showing the method of application. The latter can al 0 be obtained at St. J obu's Gate, as well as small anatomical Diagrams price 2d. each. N .B.-The Stretcher, physiological Oharts, Splints, and TourniquetR become the property of the Oentre (or District) on purcha e, and can be made use of by many classes, or are available in caRe of accident; the other articles, except the plain Bandages, are supplied "on sale or return." An Ambulance Hamper fitted complete, with waterproof cover and strap, and containing the necessary appliances for rendering First Aid, as well as a light-wheeled Lit,t er for conveyance of the injured, although not included in the mate1'iel necessary for a class, can also be had on application to the Director of Stores.

GENER.AL THE VISCOUNT TE IPLETOWN, K .O.B. SIR EDMUND A. II. LEcmrnRE, BART., M.P. GE ffiRAL SIR J OIIN ST. GEORGE, K.O.B. An ..A nnual Subscriber of Five Shillings and upwards can become a Member of the" t. J oh11 Ambulance Association ." A donation of Five Pounds and upwards constitutes rlife :Membership. Forms of Membersbip and Orders on Bankers can be obtained on application to the Ohief Secretary. Donations, and especially Annual Subscriptions, are earnestly solicited. The work of the Association has of late so enormously incren.sed, especially among colliers, miners, police, railway porters, dock employes, and others, who can contribute nothing towards the nece ary working expen es,-while they constitute a class to whom in truction i from the nature of their daily ()ccupation, of the highe t ,alue -that further and substantial pecuniary support from tho e able and wming to afford it is urgently needed. Oheques and Post Office Orders, crossed London and Westminster Bank ('VestmiLster Branch) may be made payable to Oaptain H . O. Perrott, Ohief Secretary, St. John Ambulance Association, St. John's Gate, Clerkenwell, London, E.O. DETAOIIED :iYIALE (OR FEMALE) OLASSES. These are cla ses formed in the suburbs of London and in country towns and village, p ending the establishment of 1'egula1' centTes. Such cla ses are uuder the immediate control of the Oentral Executive Oommittee, and the amount due for the cost of the same should be sent to the Ohief Secretary (Oaptain lliRBERT O. PERROTT), St. John's Gate, OIerkenwell, London. A memorandum givillg a detail of the expen es-defrayed by the Ohief Secretary out of the sum above referred to forwarded to him-will be found at page 39. The balance (if any) over the actual total cost of Detached Olasses is applied to the maintenance of classes for police, firemen, miners, dock labourers, railway officials, working men and women, aud others, who are too poor to make any pecuniary return for the instruction received. IJ

38 It is therefore ea.rnestly hoped that where the pupils are in a position in life to afford it, the amount remitted under the item "incidental expenses" may be at least not less th(m five guine~Ls; the ~emand upon the Association's limited resources caused by such gratUltous c1as es being very O"reat. The Oommittee also trust that as many pupils as possible ~ll become "Life" or "Annual Members,". and th~s materially aid by their subscriptions in extending this phIla.nthroplC

work. From twenty-five to thirty is the bec;t number for a cla s. It is not desirable to have more than thirty, or the in tructor cannot devote sufficient time to each pupil. In the ca e of a female c1a. s a mall boy should be hired for demonstration of bandaging. The usual way to form a Detached CIa is for the lady or gen11eman tmdertaking to do so, to collect from twenty-five to thirty name. , charge each pupil an entrance fee sufficient ill amount to cover the expenses above-mentioned, and remit cheque, &c., to the Uhief Secretary, who will d tail a lecturer, and in due cour e an examiner, and arrange for snpply of mati1'iel. If it is required to end a lecturer an exceptional di. tance from Town (as, for instance had to be done in the ca e of Lincoln), an extra fee of two or three guinea would probably have to be paid him. A local medical practitioner (duly qualified) may lecture, provided he adheres to the authorized official yllabus of the A ocialion. Female lecturers are not allowed. Detached clas es usually meet, in the case of women, in Rome lady drawiflg-room; in the case of men in a parish school-room in. titution, or similar builcling. COU1'se of Instl'llction.-Thi consi ts of five lecture , with an interval of a week between each. Each lecture la t, about an hOlll' and a half; the last half-hour being devoted to practical work (bandaging, applicatiun of splints, &c" &c.) The sixth week the examination takes place. A t least a cleaT week's notice, stating also p1'obable nwnbe1' of Calldidates, should be given to the Chief SecTetrwy, of a convent'ent day, hou?', and place (a choice at two 01' three days is pl'eferable) f01' examinatwn to

prevent disappointment in send~ng down an examiner. The only additional articles required for the examination are a supply of foolscap paper and pencils, or pens and 11lk. Oertificates are awarded to the successful candidates. N. B.--Mixed classes of males and females aTe on no account permitted.

SECOND OOURSE.

Lectures on "Home Nursing and IIygiene" can

39 be arranged for women who ha\e gone through the first course, in a similar manner. The expenses amount to the same um, but if the Nursing Oourse follows immediately after the Preliminary Oourse, no extra charge will be made for the hire of that portion of the mate1'iel supplied on loan. It is usual, however, that the entrance fee should not be Jess than half a guinea, as the minimum charge; and that the sum remitted for "incidental expenses" should not be less than five guineas. Only Pupils holding the Preliminary Oertificate can enter for the examina.tion for the Second Oourse, for which vellum certificates are awarded. DETAOIIED OLASSES. EXPENSES. £ s. d. 1.

TIll::> Order was founded about the year 1092, for the maintenance of an hospital at J ern. alem; and, subsequently, the defence of Chri.'tian pilgrims on their journey to and from the Holy Land. Tt af'tenvanl. became a knightly in titution; but ever pre erved it. ]10 pita!::;, and cherished the duty of alleviating . ickness and . uifering. The Order was fir t planted in England in the year 1100, and raised the noble . tl'ucture 'which once formed the Priory of '1-'rke11\\,ell, of which the g::tteway now alone remains to attest the importance of the chief house of the Order in England. The Order held high place in this country until the }Tear 1540, ,vhen it "as de. poiled, suppre. sed, and its property confiscated 1»), .Act of Parliament. In 1537 it wa restored by Royal Charter, al1l1 much of it. posse sion. re-granted; but only to be again conli catetl within the sub. equent two years by a second statute which did not, however, enact the re- uppression of the fraternity. Still) with the 10. s of po e ion, and the withdrawal of most of it memlJel'. to :\laltu-then the sovereign eat of the Order-it became practically dormant in England. ~lany fluctuations have marked the fortunes of an institution which played a prominent part in most of the great events of Europe, until its supreme disaster in the los of J\l ult a , in 1798 ; after 'which the suryiving clivi ions of the Order harl each to perpetuate an independent existence, and to mark out the course of its O\V11 future. It is no\v nearly half a century ago that a majori ty of five of the even then exjsting remnants of the institution decreed the revivill of the time-honoured branch of the Order in England; since which eyent it has, so far as means permitted, pursued, In spirit, the original purpo. es of it, foundation-the alleviation of the sick and suffering of the human race.

I I 88

The follmying are ome of the objects whicb have engaged the attention of the Order :Providing conyalescent patients of hospitals (without distinction of creed) with such nourishing diet as are medically OTdered; so as to aid their return, at the earliest pos, ihle time, to the business of life and the support of their families. The (original) institution in England of what is now known as the ,e National Society for Aid to Sick and vVounded in 'Var." The foundation and maintenance of Cottage Hospital and Convalescent Homes. Providing the means and apportunitie for local trnininO'o of nlU'se for the sick poor; aml the foundation of ,yhat j now known a the }\letropolitan and National 'ocieLy for training and upplying nch nurses. The promotion of a more intimate acquaintance with th ,Yant. of the poor in time of ickne . The estaulishment of amblllance litter, for the conycyance of sick and injured per on , in the colliery and milling dj ,··tricL, and in all large rail way and other pu hlic departments allll town, as a mean, of preyentillg much aggraYaliOll of human suffering. The award of ilver and br011ze medal, and c rLificntes of honour, for , pecial , ervice ~ on land in the cause of Innnnnily. The initiation and organisation, during the recent Turco'ervian ,Yal', of the "Eastern ,Yar ~ 'ick and ,Vouudcll Helid Fund." The institution of the " 't. J allll Ambulance As ociation " for instruction in the preliminary treatment of the Injured in I~eace and the , Voundecl in ,VaT. Although started little more than four year' ince, thi. laLcer movement has already attained very great success, and up,yard of 100 Local Centres have already been formed in important tmyns and districts in all part of the kingdom, many others being in course of formation. Among the more notabl e cla .. es are tho e for the instruction of the }\letrc)politan and City I)olice; County Constabulary; London and Provincial Fire Brigades; Hoyal aval Artillery Volunteers; the vVar Office; Admiralty; 'omerset Hou, 'e ; and other Government Departments; the Custom House; East and West I ndia Docks; Surrey Commeroial Docks; Victoria Docks;

and numerous public and private institutions. It is only necessary to ada, as a further proof of the value of the movement, that several members of the Royal Family-H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh, II.R.H. Prince Leopold, and General H.S.H. Prince Ed ward of Saxe-Weimar, T.R.H. Prince and Princess Christian-hold the offices of Presidents, or Patrons, of Country Centres. Detached Classes have also been held, pending the formation of Centres, at many other places. Amongst many important Public Meetings held in connection with this Branch of the Order two deserve special mention, not only on account of the additional impetus thereby given to the work; but, also, as indicating, in an unmistakeable manner, the growing interest taken by all classes in its development. a On the 15th February last a most enthusiastic Meetinb' numerously attended, was held at the Mansion House, by the kind permission, and under the Presidency of, the Lord Mayor, chiefly with a view of extending the work more fully in the City and Port of London. On the 19th .April, H.R.H. the Princess Mary of Cambridae b' Duchess of Teck (a Da11w Clzevaliere of the Order of St. John), preseuted certificates to successful pupils [principally ladies and policemen] at the Town Hall, Kensington, in the presence of a large awl distinguished audience. The Oruer of St. John has no connection whatever with any of the numerous associations or fraternities now existinoa for henevolent or other purposes, whether similar or not in name ' nor is it allied with any sect or party of anyone religious denomi~ nation, but is thoroughly universal-embracing among its members and associates those, who) in the spirit of our Divine Master, are willing to devote a portion of their time or their means to the help of the suffering and the sick.

STATISTICS OF ACCIDENTS.

~tliliff Df ®tlgh. The Right Hon. WILLIA 1 HENRY, BARo~ LEIGH.

THE following statistics are worth observation, and when it is remembered that the total violent deaths registered annually in England and Wales are about 18,000, in Scotland about 3,000, and in Ireland about 2,000, no better examples can be quoted to prove the necessity for the thorough and universal dissemination of such important information as the know ledge of how to render (( first aid to the injured." In the above enumeration, railway casualties take a prominent place, but they are by no means the cause of the greatest annual number of violent deaths. It is stated that more persons are killed by horses and horse accidents every year than by all the railways of the kingdom. In the Metropolis alone the number of street accidents have in recent years been as follows : -

Total for 10 years-Killed, 2,195; Injured, 28,071. During the four years ending with 187:5 the number of railway servants killed averaged 740 annually; ill the next four years there was an improvement, the average per annum being reduced to 483. During the year ending December 31st, 1879, the Board of Traue Retm'llS prove tIm', 1,032 per30ns were killed in Railway

92 Accidents, the number injured being 3,513. The total mnnber of personal accidents reported to the Board of Trade by the several Railway Companies during 1880 amounted to 1,181 persons killed, and 6,691 injured. A Parliamentary return moved for during the Session of 1878 by Mr. Hugh Birley, l\1.P. for l\1anchestcr, shows that during the previous year altogether 2,662 persons were drowned in rivers, lakes, and canals of England and ,\Va es aloncexcluding Scotland and Ireland. In 1879 the number of inquests held on persons drowned in inland waters alone, altogether omitting the sea shores and great estuaries \vas 3,202. It is lamentable to reflect hJw many of these lives might IJave been saved, how much unnecessary tortlue might have been avoided, had those first present on the scene but known hmv to take t,h e requisite steps for the restoration of life, or the alle\'iatioll of pain.
