During the past year the hand of death has carriell olI som e of our oldest and youngest members. 8iJ: EDWARD HOARE, Bart., and Sir JOHN B. 'V. JHANSEL, Bart., entered the Order in 1857 and 18-!3 respectively. The former took the greatest interest in its affairs, and, although living at some distance from London, he made a constant. practice for many years of attending the Chapters, and was ever ready to assist his colleagues on the Council by his presence and advice. :Th11-. SELDI BUSTROS had only just entered our ranks, and had become known to comparatively few of us. IIi loss is greatly to be deplored, as his practical experience and great influence in SJ1:ia would have rendered his ser,rices most valuable to the Chapter in the administration of the n ospice at Jerusalem. As a last proof of his regard for the Order of which, had his life been spared, he would have proved a devoted member, he bequeathed, in his will, the sum of £210 to our funds. By the death of :ThIajor-General E. S. BURNABY, :ThLP., we have lost from our councils a man whose great experience and energy gave promise of a life of the greatest usefulness to the Order, and who had already shown, by the success which met his endeavours to establish our Ambulance System in his native County of L eicestershire, how much more he might have achieved in the cause of humanity had his life been spared. The untimely end of the brief but brilliant career of Lieutenant REGINALD DA COSTA PORTER has deprived us of one of our most promising cadets. The son of one of our oldest and most esteemed members, himself the Historian of the Order, Lieutenant Porter gave every promise of becoming an honour to his profession, and also an active particjpator in the interest which his father has ever taken in the progress and prosperity of the English Langue. The honoured name of Mr. WINGFIELD DIGBY, the restorer of the now magnificent church of Sherborne Minster, whose lib erality was as conspicuous for the discrimination with which it was administered, as for the extended range of the objects to which it was applied, appeared on our Roll simply as a Donat,

but amidst the numerous claims UpOE his generosity he never forgot his conne:xion wit.h the Order, and was to the last a liberal contributor to the work carried on in Worcester by the IIanley Castle Commandery, as well as a subscriber to the Jerusalem IIospice, and to the St. John Ambulance Association. In J anl1ary last Lieutenant-Colonel DuxoA~ , the DiJ:ector of the Ambulance D epartment, was compelled, in consequence of his a]?pointment to command the artillery of the Khedive, in Egypt, to resign the office which he had held with so much advantage to the Langue since December, 1876. His great energy and ability, more spccially in publicly demonstrating the objects of the Engli h branch of the Order, and particularly its Ambulanc e organization, are, indeed, difficult to r eplace Arrangements have been made to provide for the execution of the duties fulfilled by him in conllexion with the St. John Ambulance Association by the election of two of our m embers, nIr. FURLEY and Ir. BARR:cfGTO~ KE~XETT, as Deputy Chairmen, Colonel DUNCA~ 's name being also retained in that capacity; and Jr. FURLEY ha been appointed to fill the vacant office of Director of the Ambulance Departmcnt. The following resolution, conveying the thanks of the Chapter for his valuable services, was unanimously carried at the Tooting held in F ebruary last, and a copy transmitted to Colonel Duxc_\.~ :" That the Frere Chevalier Lieutenant-Colonel F. DUNCAN, R.A., ha.'i'ing resigned office as Director of the Ambul::mce Department, and DepuLy Chairman of the St . J olm Ambulance Association, on depad me for foreign ervice, the Cbapter de ire hereby to place on record its deep sense of the valuable services rendered by him during his tenure of office, e pecially with respect to the e tablishment of the Ambulance mo,ement, much of the success of wllich is undoubtedly due to his eloquent advocacy and attendance (.. often at great per onal inconvenience and pecuniary cost) at public meetings in all parts of the United Kingdom. In offering Colonel Do CAN it gratefnl acknowledgment for his co-operation in the past, the Chapter desires further to expre s a hope that ho may be ena.bled to resume, at no di ta.nt date a.n acti ve share in the hmnane and philanthropic work of the Order, of which he ha proved himself so zcalou a confrere."

8 The Chapter has sustained another loss by the resignation of' the Genealogist, the Rev. W. K. R. BEDFORD, who has found it necessary to retire from the duties which he has so efficiently discharged for nearly five years. Mr. TYSSE AMHERST, who had been elected a Member of the Cotmcil to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. FURLEY'S acceptance of the office of Director of the Ambulance Department, has been appointed by the Chapter to succeed Mr. BEDFORD, who, however, it is hoped, may still, in the capacity of Assistant Librarian, give the Order the benefit of his aid and experience as a iember of the Council. It has been thought very desirable that the Director of the Ambulance Department should have a clearly defined position, in order that, in the event of a War in which English forces may be engaged, and in which the aid of the Order of St. John may have been offered to, and accepted by the Government, he should be able to act at once with the assistance of a Special V\T ar Ambulance Committee. The following addendum to the "Regulations" was accordingly adopted at a meeting of the Chapter held in April last : "13a. The Director of the Ambulance Department is appointed by the Chapter, and to him all matters relating to the treatment of the Sick and Wounded in ,Var are referred. He will keep himself au CO'Lwant with all changes and improvements in ambulance materiel, and will maintain an accurate register of qualified persons willing to serve in various capacitie on an outbreak of \\Tar in which the English Forces may be engaged. In time of vVar the administration of the Ambulance and Hospital work of the Order at the scene of hostilities devolves, subject to the authority of the Chapter and the knowledge and concurrence of the DirectorGeneral of the Army Medical Department, upon the Director, who will be assisted by a Special War Ambulance Committee, composed of members and associates, not less than two-thirds to be Chev~Lliers of Justice. Unrler ordinary circumstances the Dirt'ctor of the Ambulance Department will be, ex officio, one of the Deputy Chairmen of the 'St. John Ambulance Association,' the organisation established by the Chapter for the general dissemination of instruction in the preliminary treatment of the Sick and Injured."

and IIer Majesty has been graciously pleased to express Her interest in the same. An address of congratulation, upon his safe return from Egypt, of which the following is a copy, was presented to HIS ROYAL IIIGllNESS TilE DUKE OF COKNATJGHT, at Buckingbam Palace, on the 20th of December, by a deputation of Officers of' the Order, consisting of Lord Leigh, the Chancellor, the Secretary, the Receiver, and the Director of the Ambulance Department. IIis Royal Highness was graciously pleased to express his acknowledgments, and referred to the admiTable management and successfu1 results of the Hospital established at CaiTO by L ady STRAKGFORD, as the representative of the St. John Ambulance Association.

A copy of the Report of the Chapter for 1882 has been transm itted, through General Viscount TEMPLETOWN, to the QUEEN,

"TO J\UJOR-GENERAL TIIS ROYAL TIIGIL."'\ESS ARTHUR vVILLIA 1: PATRICK ALBERT, DUKE OF CONNA UGRT, K.G., &c., &c., &c. "\VE, the lembers of the Sixth or English Langue of the "'over ign, Iilitary, and Religious Order of St. John of Jeru alem; in Chapter assemulcd, respectfully desire to expres to Your Royal lliglme s om cordial and fraternal congratulations upon your afe retu1'll from the brief but successful campaign in Egypt, in which the Brigade of Guards, under Your Royal TIighnes 's command, took 0 di tillguished a. part. " It will, we hope, be a. source of sa ti faction to Your Royal JIighness to remember that the Order of St. John took the earliest opportunity of offering its ervicm; in aid of the TIospital arrangement of the Briti h Army, and that though not required to take any part in these arrangements, it has been able, through its Amuulance Department, with the devoted aiu of its Dame Chevaliere the Viscoullte s Strangford, to relieve, to S0111e extent, the suffCl'ings of the wounded, irrespective of nationality and creed, in the temporary IIospital at Cairo. " igned on behalf of the Chapter, ~IANCTIE TER, Prio?'. " EDMUND A. II. LECIIMERE, SecTetaTY·"

10 mony of admission and investiture being performed by the Lord Prior, assisted by the Chancellor, the Secretary, and the Almoner. N ext in importance to the establishment by the English Langue of the Order, of the Hospice and Ophthalmic Dispensary at Jerusalem, has been the initiation at Cairo by the St. J ohn Ambulance Association of a most important work in the cause of humanity, which, thanks to the exertions of the late General BURNABY, Colonel DUNCAN, and Captain PERROTT, on whom the task of raising the necessary fun ds mainly depended, the devoted and COlU'ageous labours of Viscountess STRANGFORD, and last, not least, the skill of :ThIr. HERBERT SIEVEKING, the son of our valued Honorary Associate, Dr. SIEVEKING, has been crowned with the most complete success. For not only has the VIOTORIA HOSPITAL (which owes its conception and complete organisation to the thoughtful care of Lady STRANGFORD) been the means of relieving the sufferings of many of the unfortunate Arab soldiers, but of saving the lives of several Officers of our own Army, who were fortunate enough to be placed lmder Lady STRANGFORD'S care. It is satisfactory to know that em effort was made to perpetuate the connection of the Order of St. J ohn, through its Ambulance Department with the IIospital, by calling it the St. J ohn's Hospital, but the Khedive preferred an appellation better known to his people, and desired that it should bear the name of our beloved Queen, and be under his own especial patronage. Perhaps there is no object which has given the Chapter more satisfaction, or which will be read with greater interest by Members of the Order, than the progress which has been made in the introduction of our Ambulance system into the old " chef lieu" of the Order at Malta. For this "ve are mainly indebted to the fostering care with which, from its commencement, Sir VICTOR and L ady HOULTON used all the weight oftheD.' official position and influence to promote the success of the classes. But the work achieved by Lady IIOULTON in the cause of humanity claims the especial approval of the Chapter. Immediately after the insunection at Alexandria a large number of refugees fled to Malta. Lady HOULTON organized immediate

11 assistance, and, at the very hottest season of the year, for about three months, personally laboured in the relief of about 1,200 families who were thus thrown upon the charity of the island. Assisted by friends, and by the Mansion House Committee, suitable clothing and bedding and money were provided for all the destitute persons, averaging from fOlU' to five, or six, in each family. Lord DERBY has recently forwarded to Lady IIOULTON an official despatch expressing hiA grateful apprecia tion of her services. The Receiyer reports that the accounts for the year ending 30th June, 1883 will be duly examined and audited. The cash balance, at this date, at London and ,Vestminster Bank, after deducting £110 rent due for The Gate to Midsummer, and adding £87 lOs. due from the Ambulance Department for rent and sundrie', and £60 the balance of l\Iedal Account, is £350 Is. 6cZ. The Inve'ted Securities are :-

The Almoner reports that the supply of diets for the year show a satisfactory increase on the total numbers issued, although a very considerable falling off in their use by the Hospitals where the system was originally commenced. It will be seen by the tabular statement appended that from King's College Hospital only 3 patients were recommended, and from Charing Cross IIospital only 18 during the year, whereas from the Finsblu'y Dispensary over 40 cases have been relieved. The decrease in these two IIospitals has not been confined to the present year, but has e~ch year bee11 steadily growing less, the consequence we believe : 1st. Of the exodus from the vicinity of the Hospitals of those who formerly used to be its inmates, and who

ANNUAL SUBSCRIBERS

now when they leave the Hospital, live too far away to send for the diets; and 2nd. Because the system of Convalescent Homes has so largely increased (most of the Hospitals at the present time being connected in some way or other with such a Home), that in most cases, patients formerly in receipt of our diets, now go direct from the IIospital to a Home. In the Finsbury Dispensary the opposite rcsults are observable with an increase of satisfactory work. It becomes, therefore, we think, a question for the careful consideration of the Chapter, whether the usefulness of the diet sy tem should not be more concentrated in the vicinity of the Gate itself, or whether the Order shOl.:tld not ally itself with some Convalescent Home, giving a right of recommending a succession of' patients. Respecting the former pbn (the concentration of the work in our own immediate neighbourhood) we would venture to ask our confreres whether the time has not arrived for the Order to become the sole occupants of this ancient Gate? "\\Tithout going into the larger question of'its purchase, we think that the several departments of the Order, each prospering and increasing annually, might so contribute a share of increased rent as to free the whole building from the objcction attach d to it through the purpose for which the greater portion of it is now underlet. The work of the Almoner's department might thus be much extended : a. A head-quarters found for one, if not more, of our scrving brothers. b. 'l'he diets cooked and issued under better survcillance. c. A store of old or new clothing collected and kept for distribution. and last the r elief that all would feel that the old Gate was once again wholly devoted to the work, modernized so as to harmonise with the customs of the ninctcenth cenhuy, for which the knights of old have set us so noblc an example.

The publication of a new and enlarged edition of our Major-General WmTwoRTH PORTER'S "History of the Knights of St. J OM," will be welcomed with interest by our members and the public. General PORTER has long made the History of the Order of St. John his favourite study, and his residence at ~1alta, on mol' than one occasion, afforded him facilities for research in the Archives of the Order contained in the Government LibnU'y. He is most desirous of profiting by every source of availabl information which may make the new edition of his ,York as complete and interesting as possible. The Ohapter has to acknowledge with thanks the following presentations to the Library, whlCh have been reportcd by the Librarian, and other donations to the Order:co?~frere

ay, 1882, the Jerusalem Hospice Committee have on St. John' now to record the progress of the past year. On Friday, the 7th J u]y, 1 t)2, a Meeting in furtherance of the charitable work of the Order at Jerusalem, ,vas held at the J erusalem Chamber, '\Vestminster Abbey, by the kind permission of the Very Rev. the Dean, nnder the Presidency of the Right Hon. the Earl of f haftesbury, IC.G. The following Resolution was unanimouHly adopted ;cc That this :M eeting cordially approyes of the proposal made by the Engli. h Langue of the Order of St. John to estaLlish a Briti. h Ro. 'pice and Ophthalmic Di pellsary at J eru. 'alem; and recognizing thi object as being at once humani.tarian and national, recommends it to the hearty support of the public." A Committee composed of lembers and As ociates of the Order of It. John wa. appointed to collect the nece .'ary funds and arrange detail . Among.' t the speaker' were Sir Edmund Lechmere, Bart., :M.P., Sir Richm'd T mple, G.e.S.I., Colonol F. Duncan, R.A., -;}Ir. Ty sen Amher t, 1I.P., Dr. Thomas Chaplin, (of Jerusalem), the Bi. hop of Gibralbr, General the Vi count 'J."emplotown, R.C.B., e~C. There \,~as a large attenllance of ladies and gentlemen, and throughout the meeting YPl'y hearty sYillpathy ,,,as evinced. The rcsult of the .Meeting' wa in orne degree to arouse sympathy anel hclp, yet the Committee hesitated to llnc1ertake the responsiLility of the maintenance of the Ho pice at Jerusalem, with the aill then promised. Howeyer, the liberality of Lady Lechmcrc, in gU£Lranteeing £100 to meet deficiency, enabled the Committee without delay to appoint a Medical Officer. The Committee have also to rccord the liberality of Mes 1'S. Thos.

Cook and Son, who very handRomely undertook to send out our Surgeon at the nett cost, and to see that on arrival in Jerusalem suitable quarters were provided for him. After careful consideration, the Committee accepted the services of Dr. J. C. \Yaddell, then As, istant Surgeon to tho Shrew-sbury Eye and Ear Hospital, a gcntlem~n po. es. eel of excellent testimonials and of considerable expenence 111 ell. eaRes of the eye, to which may be addecl the following testimony from "1'I1' . .Moore, H.B.M. Consul at Jerusalem, who wrote, under date 11th April, 1 83 :-" So far, I have nothing but praise for the conduct and proceedings of the Medical Officer." Dr. ,Vaddell left for Jerusalem in N OYOll1bel' last, taking with him a suitable supply of medicaments. Soon after his ani \Tal he secured temporary premises for the Hospice, and on the -±th December, 1882, commenced the beneficent work of the 01'<.101': The English branch of the Order of St. John, by thus cstat)~lf~h ing a Hospice and Ophthalmic Dispensary, has not alone galllecl the long ,yished for pied ({, teJTe at Jerusalem, but has met a longstanding and acknowledged want. The Committee are glad to be able to report that the work has been carried on with most satisfactory results. Among"t the patients are found Jews, 1Iahomedans, and nat~ye Ch~·istial1.', tho two former classes preponderating largely. Bemg qUlte aware of

the un.sectcfJJ'iwn ncdure of the objects of the Orrlerof St. John, Ct11IZ the entire absence of any ZJToselyLisi n[) intention, the poor of all nationalities and religions flock without any scrup1e or hesitation to the English Surgeon, many of the patients coming fl'om places far distant from J eTusalem. . The Turkish and Greek authorities have shewn great ll1terest in the work, and the Governor of Jerusalem, Raouf Pa,cha, who has from the first given it his hearty co--operation, pronounces it to be the most practically useful of all the Institutions founded uy Europeans at Jerusalem. In Raouf Pacha, the ?Ol~llnittee fc.ol they have a friend who at all times will use hIS lDfiuence In furthering the work. . . Dr. Waddell, Surgeon-in-Charge, reports that dunng the SIX months of the existence of the Hospice the total num bel' of patients received has been 19.52, whilst the total attendance, that is to say of patients who recejved ad vice and medicine, has b0en G3J 8. On many days the attendance has reached the large numLer of 140,

the averaO'e daily applications havinO' been about 80. Just at present-Dr. 'Ya,delell states-the results cannot bo oxactly shewn, by reason that a gl'eat many of the patients are still under treatment, but he estimates that at least 1000 cures have been effected. These figures speak for themselves as to the great neeel which the Ho. pice has met anu. the eagel'nBSS with which it is being taken advantage of. In Febrnal'Y last Sir Edmund and Lady Lechmere visited J erusalem, anu. 'while there, Sir Edmund, in conjunction "\yith the Local Committee, consisting of Noel Temple Moore, E.'q., C.:JI.G., H.B.1I. Con.'ul at J e1'llsalem, Thomas Cbaplin, E. q., M.D., and John 'JI. Cook, ES(h selected a .. ite with a hou. e, at a cost of £10.50. As statccl in the la·t Report, 1I.I.M. The Sultan, at the request of H.R.H. The Prince of \Vales, promi.'ec.1, by Firman, to the Order of St. John, a, piece of lanel for the purposes of the Hospice, and the i ol11l1littee have receiycel confirmation of the grant through the Foreign Office, notification of the approyal of the site selectell, and a promi.o from tho • 'ulllime Porte of a sum of £r. 900 (= .£~1:3 :tel'lin~) towards the cost of the same. Arrangements are being ma(le for the conveyance of the ite by H.I.1I. the Sllltan to the English Langue of the Order of 'to John, and the llOuse ha ving been outaillcll uy purchase, the e:s:pell e of . lmilcling i.' s1wed .. A consirlerablo sum, however, is still require 1 to prepare the Eo.-pice for tho reception of patient requiring to unLlergo operations. In the Appendix to this R "port ,,-ill be found the rule ' adopted for the regulation of the Hospicc at Jerusalem. Dr. ,Vc.Lllt1cll (letter of 8th nItuch, 10 ' 3) report that"The propel'ty is Hitua,tcd ahout eight minutes' walk from the Jaffa Gate, on the I3ethldlClll ROtLd, ancl consi~t, of a piece of ground amounting to more than six: acres; on it there is a large house, extremely well built of the best matel'iab, containing eighteen challluers, with an allllllllant water supply. On one sille it is uoundcll by the Valley of HillnolU, on tho other by the Bethlehem Road. Tho house stamls at the cst end amI narrowest part of the ground, so that there is no possiuility of its being built in by the ercctio'h of any other bou, es. Now that the purchase is I-nown everyone i ~ gretLtly a tonishecl at tho lKtl'gain we have mallo. The price i certainly most

rems,rkably 10\v, and I had no idea vve shoulll have got it for the money." H.B.M. Consul, N. T. :Moore, Esq., 0.'11.0., writes from Jeru a1em, 11th April, 18 3" I congratulate you on the splendid acqui, ition of the hou, e and grounds." The Committee here desire to record their indebtedne~s to ~lr. Samuel Wiseman (Assistant to Dr. Thomas Chaplin, a 111em1er of our Local Committee at Jerusalem) who was largely in trulllental in enabling the purchase of the land and hou , e to be made at 80 moderate a price, and the Committee venture to e.Tpress a hope that the Chapter of the Order will recognise the material a . i tance rendered by Mr. 'Viseman. A Turkish regulation requires hospitals at Jerusalem to 1e attached to a peci:6c Church to enable them to receive drugs, &c., free of import duty. The Council were unanimously of opinion that the cosmopolitan character of the Ordor of St. John renl1erecl this a most undesirable course to adopt. The Local Committee at Jerusalem fully conculTing in this opinion, Mr. Noel Temple :Moore write,_, on 11th April, 18 '3, tbat"It seems to me that the condition upon which alone the privilege can be conceded would be incon.'i~tent \vith one of the principles upon which the Institution is stated to be fountlell, and might compromise its position in the eyes of tbe authorities and the Moslem and Jewi.'h populations, whilst the advantage .'ought to be gained is of a trifiing nature." Accordingly application was made through H.B.nT. iharge d' Affaires at Constantinople to obtain the privilege directly to the Order, and the work at Jerusalem has so commended itself to the Sublime Porte that the Committee have rcceived notification that the privilege of receiving rnec1ical stores, free of duty, has been granted in favour of the Hospice anll Dispensal'Y belonging to the English branch of the Order of St. John of .Jerusalem. This most desirable result is obtained through the good offices ancl hearty assistance rendered by 111'. N. T. Moore, H. E. Raouf Pacha, and Mr. 'Vindham, Charge d'Affaires at Constantinople. With a view to assif:)t the funds of the Hospice, a Concert was held on June 12th, ana the Committee receivell on every hand most hearty aid.

A VISIT TO THE BRITISH HOSPICE AND OPHTHALMIC DISPEN SARY AT JERUSALEM, BY SIR EDMUND A. H. LECHMERE, BART., M,P., AND LADY LECHMERE,

ON the ~7th of J anuHry last my wife and I left om' home on a visit to J orusalem, -w ith the double object of obtaining a few weeks chango and rest, and of furthering the objects of the Onler in reference to the British Hospice and Ophthalmili Dispensary, "'which had been opened in December last, by Dr. "\Vadd ell, the medical officer sent out by the Hospice Committee. By a curious coincidence one of the Psalms of the day was the 122nd, 'Our feet shall stand in thy gates, o J erusalell1;" '0 pray for the peace of Jerusalem : they shall pl'o,_pel' that love thee:" and tbe Gospel for the £l'st Su:c.day on which we were at ,ea, after leaving the coast of France, was that from the eighteenth of St. Luke, describing the miracle performed by our Lord on the blind man who sat on the wayside begging at Jericho, To any member' of the Or ler who contemplate a vi it to Jerusalem, and ·who do not mind a Rea voyage of a few days, I can strongly recommend the ships of the l\les agerie l\laritimes, which run regularly between Uarseilles and Jaffa. 'rhey are well navigated, and most comfortable in all their arrangements. The landing at J aifa once accomplished, Jerusalem is easily reached by carriages 01' by riding, The road had been improved since OlU' last visit, and the expected arriyal of Prince Frec1erick Charles of Germany had caused the employment by the authorities of a llUlnbcl' of men, ·women, and children, who, as we passed, were busily engaged in collecting stones to £11 up the rCTnaining holel:) anc1rut '.

About mid-way we were mct by Dr. VVaddell, who had ridden out to escort us. Our carriagc had been nearly upset by a wheel coming off; but we were not thrown out of the vehicle, and the services of our doctor, whose presence at this critical moment might otherwise have been most opportune, w ere not, fortunately, required. On our arrival at Jerusalem, we lost no time in visiting the house which had been t emporarily hired by Dr. ' Vaddell. The self~ction of so in1portant an element in the successful COIDluenccment of our work did Dr. VI addell great credit, especially as, on his arrival in J erusalem, h e had, in the absence of both Mr. 1\1oore, the British Consul, and Dr. Chaplin, to rely upon his own unaided judgment in a matter requiring some local experience. Standing in a pleasant garden adjoining the Depot of Messrs. Cook and Son, within a few minutes walk of thc J nffa Gate, and commanding a view of the the olive grounds of the Nico~horeia, it was in every respect snited for the purpo e reqlUred, and though the limited number of apartments, all of which were on the ground fioor, did not afford sufficient space for the reception of patients requiring operations, there ,yas a . ui~e of room.s communicating with the surgery and dispensary whlCh sup.plied a very convenient arrangement of waiting rooms, untIl the rapid increase of patients rendered even this ac~ommodation insufficient. 11\Te visited the H ospice almost d~ily, and, sad as it was at -6rst to witness the injury and disfigurement which disease, unchecked by efficient medical treatment, had effected, the certainty that the means provided by the Order would secure, in many cases a cure, in all some degree of relief, made the sight a very interesting one to us. Jews, Mahomedans, Christians-men, women, and children, alas! of all ages and classes were there, awaiting their turn to pRSS ~ ef~re the doctor. Every effort was made to meet the preJudices of nationality, creed, and class, and to arrange them so that those who came first should have more imm ediate attention. There was no symptom of h esitation or reserve. The Turkish ~omen were quite satisfied with the arrangements made then convenience. They werc, of COlli'se, under the necessIty of raising their veils, but, when requisite for thc

:01'

investigation of their malady, they showed no reluctance in rcmoving them altoget.her. The cases were attended to in a very systematic manner by Dr. Waddcll, who was assisted by an interpreter and by a Hcrvant, who k ept order in the waiting room. The age, residence, nationality, and ailment of every patient was carefully entered in a register and numbered, and a card containing the numbcr given to seClU'e easy reference and identification, and on each succeeding visit the progress made by the patient was noted. Although most of the patients came from the immediate neighbourhood of J erusalem, many travelled from considerable di tances, some from as far as N ablous in Samaria. Indeed, all seemed willing to submit to any amount of trouble and fatigue in order to obt ain the aid of the Engli h eye doctor. Dr. vYaddell con 'idered that the types of disease varied little from those of Eluope, though there was an unusual proportioll of diseases of the ey e-ball, blindness, and impairment of the vi ion, the con equence of purulent ophthalmia, wIDch preyails to u, great extent in the summer and autumn months. In some cases native remedies had been applied of the most rude Hnd violent de cription. Blue stone powder and other injurious substance' had been used in many ca es, and occa ionally men came whose for eheads were seared with burn marks, hot iron haTIng been applied as a cautery to draw off the inilamation from their eyes. The number of daily patients varied from 20 to 150, according to the state of the weather or the day of the week. On Fridays, when the lUahomedans came in from the country to attend the market or to visit the mosques, the numbers were t.he largest. Up to April last no less than 1,200 patients had pas ed through, or were on the books of the H ospice. On certain days in the week Dr. ,Vaddell received special cases which required more than ordinary care and consideration, and on one day, besides Sunday, he gave himself a much-needed holiday. The question of r equiring somc payment from such patients as appeared from their circumstances capable of making one was duly considered; but MI'. Moore thought that there would be a difficulty in enforcing such a rule without making exceptions, and recommended that A 3

\'lhenever Dr. \Vadc1ell suspected patients of being able to make some payment their cases should be reported to the local Committee for investigation, and that if theD: means appearod to justify the demand, a contribution in aid of tho funds of the Hospice should be required as a oondition of further treatment. Having satisfied myself that all was going on well at the Hospice, and that the work was being efficiontly and judiciously admini8tered, I devoted my attention to the important quostion of the selection and acquisition of a site for the permanont building contemplated by the Order. The Governor of .Jerusalem had been charged under the terms of the Firman granted to the Order by the Sultan, at the request of the Prince of ,Vales, to make over to us about two acres of land, and both the Pacha and 1\1r. 1\100ro had been engaged for some time previous to my visit in trying to find a site which would be suitable for our purpose. In vain had they looked round the city and its neighbourhood in search of any spot which was at the disposal of tho Go\'"ernment. All the places to which my attention had been called on tho occasion of my last visit had been reported by Dr. Chaplin and Dr. \Yadclcll to be unsuitable on either sanitary or other grounds. The Pacha, however, who from the first evinced great interost in our project, and who had thoroughly satisfied himself of its cosmopolitan and non-proselytising character, hael made up his mind that every effort should be exerted by the Government to aid and co-operate in a work which he recognised as being of importance to the country; and finding it was not in his power to provide a site in every respect suited to the purpose, determined upon asking for power from the Sultan to purchase one, and present it to us; and he had sent a memorial to Constantinople, requesting that he might be empowered to layout a sum not exceeding 1,000 Turkish liras (rather less than £900) for this purpose. V\Then we arrived) the Pacha was absent at Jaffa, waiting for the anival of the Prince Frederick Charles of Germany. The weather was stormy, the Prince's ship was delayed, the Pacha was impatiently expecting him at Jaffa, and I was

,vith equal impatience looking for the Pacha's return to Jerusalem. At last tho Prince arrived, and entored J erusalem in some degree of sta to, escorted by the dragomans of the several Consulates, and by our own Consul, who had brok8n tllTough the usuall'outine, in order to pay a mark of respect to the father of the Duchess of Connaught. Tho Prince dismounteel at tho J aifC1 gate, the mantle of the J ohanniter Ordor was thrown over his shoulders, and he went on foot to th 1\hu·jstan, to inspect tho ruins of the old Hospital of t. John, which had beon gjven to the German Emperor by the late ~ ultan. Bcforc ho cntored J orusalem, the Prince's attention had been attracted by the red :flag with tho eight-pointed whito cross, which {loatod ov r our little Hospice. 1\1r. 1\1oore had given his advice that it would not only be allowable, but very desirable, that we should hoist Olil" {lag, so Dr. Waddell had a very re.'pectable one made by a Greek tailor, and it appearcd for almo t the fir. t time in all it. freshness on the very day of the Prince's arrival. lIe immediately clauned the building as belonging to the J ohanniter, and expressed much surpri e when he ",vas told that it was the Hospice and Dispensary of the British Branch of the Order of St. J oh11. The lle_'t day, accompanied by 1\11'. 1\1oore, I visited the Paclla. H told mo that he considered the work undertaken by the Oreler of St. John was calculated to become by fur the most pntctically useful of any of the in.:;titution.', educational 01' charitable) established ill J eru, alem by Europeans; and, alluding to the difficulty in £ncling land at Jerusalem, said, that ho could give us as much land as we requircd at Gaza, to which place he hoped our operations might at some future clay be extended; inn much as eye diseases were very preyalent there. Ho mentioned a recommendation ,yhich he had made to the SulttLn, that he should be permitted to purchase a piece of land for us, and suggested that in order to expedite a reply, I should invoke tho assistance of the Briti·h Emba sy at Constantinople, and Ml'. :Uoore and I, on the termillt1.tion of our intervie\Y, communicated by telegram with Lord Dufferill and Mr. \Vyndham.

\IVhilst hoping to receive a favourable reply, I was again engaged in hunting for building sites) and after more than one' disappointment the very thing we wanted was placed in ou)' way. By a very hap'py accident, M1'. Samuel Wiseman, a gentleman employed by Dr. Chaplin, in the dispensary attached to the English hospital for the Jews, mentioned a house with nbout three acres of land, which he had reason to believe might be purchased for a very moderate sum. The premises were well known to Mr. Moore and Dr. Chaplin, and they considered them most suitable if only they could be purchased for something like the sum named. A more thorough and critical examination was made by Dr. Waddell an d myself. The house was a Turkish one. of excellent plan and construction, built of the best description of stone, containing eighteen rooms) and in substantial repair. The situation was all that could he desired, a rocky eminence abutting on the road to Bethlehem) ",rithin ten minutes' walk of the city, with a fine view of :l\Iount iou and the intervening valley of Hinnom, rich with verdure and olive trees. The land adjoining had a frontage of some extent along the Bethlehem road, and was well adapted for building purposes. Before I left Jerusalem it was decided that rather than lose so desirable an opportunity, Dr. Chaplin should be empowered to purchase the property as if for himself, at a price not exceeding £1,300; though it was believed that it might be seeured at a much less sum. When staying at Damascus some days afterwards, I received a telegram from Dr. Waddell) informing me that the property had been purchased for £1,050, and a subsequent letter apprised me of the gratifying fact that the land instead of being only three was six acres in extent, containing both a good supply of water and a stone quarry, and that all the necessary preliminaries, as to titles, &c., had been properly carried into effect by M1'. Moore and Dr. Chaplin. Dr. Chaplin executed a deed which was placed in the custody of the Consul, declaring the puruhase made in his name to be only nominal and provisional, and holding the property at the disposal of the Order. Since that time we have received an important letter from

the Forejgn Office, informing us that within two months of the 24th of April last £813 (English) will be paid over towards the purchase, which will then be completed by the formal transfer of the property from Dr. Chaplin an d the conveyance of the whole to the Order under the Firman. It is J?rovided t.hat all but the two acres, specially presented by the Sultan, may be disposed of as the Order may think fit. The English Langue of the Order of St. J oIm will thus be in the po' ession of an excellent house, surrounded by six acres of land, in a very fine situation, admirably adapted for the plupose of a dispensary or small hospital. The cost has been £1,050, les' the £813 presented by the Sultan. The internal repairs, alterations, and fittings will cost about £300, nearly the whole of 'which will be covered by the result of the recent very sU0cessful concert, and the handsome donation of the Duke of 'Ve -tminster; and further benefactions in aid of providing H, ward of some four to six beds for in-patients, have been offered by Lady Lechmere and ~1r. MacLean. It now remains for the Order of t J olm, with the as istance of the public, to provide the necessary income for the maintenance of this truly hospitalleI' work. It may be urged, and it is doubtless urged, that we might find objects of our charity at home, and that the distant East is beyond the scope of British sympathies, but I should indeed be sorry if this feeling found encouragement from any member of our Order. Independently of the long-cherished wish so often alluded to in OlU' Reports~ and echoed at our Ohapter and Genen.ll Assembly ~leetings, that the English Langue should have ahome in the earliest chef lie~t of the Order, where the J ohanniter, the French, and the English Roman Catholic Association of the Order of St, John are more or less represented, there surely must be a yearning in the heart of every true hospitaller tOlvurds the early sceDe of the philanthropic labours of our founders. But even beside this feeling, which some may regard as enthusiastic and even visionary, we have already the certain proof that not only is the position of the English Langue asserten in the East as a, veritable branch of the ancient Order, but the

name of our country is raised in the estimation of the population of Palestine and Syria, and though we do not profess to aspire to any political influence, yet "British interests" may be more or less advanced by the presence of an organisation, presided over by Her Uajesty's representative, supported by the Turkish Government, and cordially approved of by the Ecclesiastical and Civil authorities of the land. To those outside the Order who may lu'ge that, Jerusalem being so far away, we must keep our money and interest for home charities, I should be inclined to say:1st. No one is asked to withdraw then: subscriptions from an English charity and give it to Jerusalem: 2nd. That England is the only great European po\ver unrepresented at Jerusalem in the cause of charity unconnected with missionary or proselytising work. Russia, France, Austria, Germany, all have their Hospices 01' Hospitals, and surely it i::; hardly creditable that the richest country in Europe should be unrepresented. One of the great merits of the British Ho pice is tlw,t it is totally unsectarian. The poor patients may rest satisfied that they will meet with every CRre and skilful treatment, in pcrfect assurance that their creed will no morc be meddled with than that of an Englishman consulting his London doctor. It may be urged that a work of this nature cannot be properly administered at such a distance from England, but we are fOl'tu nate in having as our local committee three associates of our Order so well qualified to manage its details as JUl'. 1\10 ore, Dr. Chaplin and Mr. J, 1\1.

The local Committee will meet each month at the British Consulate, the Consul's Challcellor acting as Secretary, and a monthly report will be scnt to tho Committee at home. vVe hope to have au annual mceting of the Subscribers and Donors, and to issne an Annual Hcport awl statement of receipts and expenditure. And here it is only due to our local Committec that we should acknowledge the valuable assistance which they have given to the initiation of this work by their ready co-operation and advice; and our thanks are specially due to Mr. J. M. Cook, who has, from the first, rendered us essential service by thc generous

mallner in which he has placed the resources of his establishment at J erLlsalem, and the services of his agents at our disposal. But setting aside all objections which may be urged, or difficulties which may be suggested, can any who call themselves Christians feel no interest in the birthplace of their Faith? Whilst other nations are turning their eyes towards the East, shall England stand aloof from so good and much needed a work of humanity? And may not we, of the Order of St. John, venture to hope that as the work of our original Founders commenced with a Ho"pital at Jerusalem, and became, in time, one of the greatest Institutions of Christendom, so the Langue of England, which has once more rsumecl its connection -with the earliest home of the Order, may receive an additional bles ing upon its philanthropic labour.

TIIE exten. ion of the operations of the St. John Ambulance As.ociation to India cannot fail to produce good results, for, although Il'ivate individuaL have been working in the same direction, their efforts haye been of little more than local value. The Indian Medical Departments would gladly support the ARsociation in it. endeavour to teach the population, both European and ative, to help them e1l"e in emergencies. In Illclin, out.

unnerv d. Examples have occulTod whore men of real merit have completely 10 t tho confidence of an about thom from want of self rolianco. In ono such case, to my.knowl dge, the European officials mel' ly used tho hOI pital as istant to make up the prescriptions or to carry out tho instructions given in Dr. Moore's Official Vade J,{ecwn, a work which, in the Customs, Forest, and simi.lar depn,l'tments, hl1s been found exceedingly u. eful. A

It would be impossible to provide these dispensaries or hospital assistants for every large town, much less for every village; the only hope, therefore, for the people is to teach tlLeln to help them,selves until medical aid can a7'rive, while practical instruction should be given to intelligent laymen, both European and Native. As regards Europeans, my own efforts have been in connection with a railway Volunteer Corps, of which I am one of the honorary surgeons. As far back as 1880 I delivered two courses of lectures at J e)l1ore, and at Bandibrui, an adjoining railway junction station of some importance. My audiences were attentive, and took much interest in the practical demonstrations which followed the lectures. Although certificates w ere not awarded, I have good reason to know that some of the men profited by what was t aught them. A volunteer sergeant was the first to begin, by so satisfactorily treating the fractured arm of a boy that no further aid was required. It may be thought that there is danger of more being done than is warranted by a non-professional person, uut sluely there is less risk of this where training has been given in an ambulance class than where no such instruction has been given, for the pupil is always taught that even in what may appeal' simple cases first assistance is not everything, and that the after management is the most difficult task. "My course at J eypore consisted of seven lectures, the last being a recapitulation of all that had been taught in the former ones. Coloured chawings and diagrams on a large scale were prepared, and used to illustrate ev ery point of importance; and, of course, bones, a skeleton, extemporised splints, such as rifles, bayonets, and stioks were provided. As most of the pupils were volunteers, the subjects were treated from rather a military point of viGw, I afterwards found that my lectures followed much the same lines as the St. John Ambulance Manual, but more stress was laid upon the early management of sunstroke, cholera, and other iliseases and accidents so rapidly fatal in. tropical climates. Some attention was also paid to sanitation, personal hygiene, and life in camp. Without numerous illustrations, bones and so on, the

5 lectnres wou ld be rather uninteresting, and these necessarily take considerable time to prepare. Civil ~ urgeons in India are as a rule too much occupied to get classes up, though no doubt most would be glad to give an annual course for the benefit of the people in their own station. 'rhe advantage of having such a Society as that of the t. John Ambulance Association here comes into play, as for each district only one set of appliances would be necessary, or, at nIl events, only one ",here means of communication arc easy; moreover, as the method of tuition would be uniform, those who had already been through the course in one place would be ready to help the Lecturer in another, by assisting in the practical demonstrations, or by explaining away difficluties to fellow pupil '. For EUl'opeallH, the volunteer companies afford, perhaps, the be t means of making a beginning. The Civil Surgeon is u ually Volunteer lugeou al 0: there is generally a company room availabl"'; moreover, as outsiders would al 0 be invited to join the ambulance class, some of whom might probably become recruits, commanding officer would not look unfavourably on the movement. A . rcgunls the in trl1ction of females, this, of COUl' e, may be clone where the population is large enough; Surgeon Heather Bigg, . I. \.~LD., gn,ve CaUl' 'es of lectures in 1 )1-2, in Allahabad, for laclie , and I believe with ucce s. The cla es of Europeans to whom the attainment of a certificate of efficiency would be most useful are officials in the Forest, Customs, and such like departments, railway servants, planters, a.nd sport men. To all of the e, sooner or later, the knmvleclge thus acquired would be of incalculable value. Accidents with machinery, snake-bites, sunstroke, cholera, wounds in village fights, injuries from wild bea ts, occnr many miles tlistant from the nearest surgeon, ana unle omething is done at oncE', and on the spot there may be little chance of recovery for the sufferer. 011 Indians are accu tomed to uch emergencies, aud, even without any pecia.l system of ill truction, experience anll common sense seem often to teach them to do the right thing in~tinctively.

6 Whil t deli vering my course of lectures such a case oecurreCl.. A neighbour of my own was stung by a cobra. A friend sleeping a few paces off applied ligatures above the wound, and did all that a surgeon could have done with satisfactory result. lIe had only read instruction for dealing with a ca, e of snake-bite the day before. So far my remarks have boen confined to the tuition of Europeans; but it is oUviou. that there i. nothing to prevent Natives from going through a similar course, though I think more can be done by teaching the element' of ,anitation, hygiene, anatomy, physiology, and so on, in the public, d1001,' and colleges. I n this way a desire would in time be created for acquiring the speuial knowledge obtained in an ambulance cla,'H. Indian schools, however, will not take up tlle, 'e , ubject, ' unless some knowledge of them is required for thc university examinations. In I ndia neither boy nor rna, tel' 'will work for llothing. :JIanuals on sanitation are now freely circulate<.1 throughout. India, and it is to be hoped that some knowledge of their contents will be required from all who expect public appointments. To go a step further, that is, to make all canc1idateR for employment, as tahnachirs, teh, 'il(Hrs, or c1i",trict subordinate::-;, pass a simple examination, equivalent to the St. John Ambulance As. 'ociation certificate, in the ,'ubject of fir, t aid to the sick and wounded, would b e of incalculable \~alue to the people who are accustomed to look upon these officials a, - goel, rather than men. The tamrah, or police station, is the place to which the public at once go in all ca, es of emergency. Instructions for imm.ediate treatment of snake-bite are posted up in most tamrahs ; in some the r emedies are kept, and cholera pills 01' medicines for malarial fevers are also available. A broadsheet in the language of the district, with short instructions for management of the most important accidents and acute diseases, might, with advantage, be also added. Instructions in vC'rse would take t.he greatest hold upon the people. Vaccinators, compounders, dressers, and other subordinates of the medical department in I ndia have of late been r equired

to sbow some acquaintance ·w ith the sanitary manuals, with a vim.\' of tbeir being able to explain their conteuts to the lcss ducate 1 classes. ~Iome of the vaccinators have also been taught uallc1agil1g and ho·w to aid the wounded. Attempts have a1.-o been made to make use of the indigenous professional element, that i,' to ,-ay, by instructing baids and hakeems (llindoo and l\1ahomeelan pbysicians), and jarrabs, or natiye surgeons; but my own experience has convinced me that the former are too prejudiced and the latter too ignorant for much real good to be done. lore good will be effected by teaching the yOUl1g in India the fir.-t laws of sanitation, the virtnes of cold water, FLue air, and of non-interference with nature. At pre ent the woundeel native suffer, more from the dirty, though kindly, attentions of his friends than he would if left alone. The greate.-t of all difficulties is to overcome the ignorance of the people, who are often unintentionally cruel both to man and bea t, imply from want of knowledge, and not from inc1i:ITerence to suffering.

THE EGYPTIAN RELIEF FUND REPORT. In August, r882, a lady acquainted with Alexandria brought to thc notice of the central Committee of the St. John Ambulance Association the distress which existed among the Arab population in Egypt, and urged some scheme of relief for which the St. John org.:ll1ization was well adapted. Others, including Mr. Cookson, urged some such coursc also, so as to bc ready \vhen the refugees should return to i\lexandria from }blta, Cyprus, &c.

At first thc movement was checked by letters throwing doubts on the existence of any suffering, but the fact that a large local fund has been found necessary in Alexandria, proves the wisdom and foresight of those men like 1Ir. Cookson, who urged measures being taken to afford relief. The sub-committee decided on asking the Viscountess Strangford to proceed to Egypt, and ascertain thc real state of the case, and thc best method of relieving suffering if she found it to exist. Lady Strangforcl's previous experience in hospital ,,'ork in the East macle her specially fttted for the duty which she was asked to impose upon herself; and the Committee cannot speak in sufficiently high terms of her ta.ct, coura.ge, and demtion. She was accompanicd by l\Ir. Sieveking, as medical officer, se\-eral trained nurses, ~ll1d a considerable supply of medical and relief stores was sent at the same time. The sudden colla.pse of the war diverted her energies into hospital rather than to relief work, as will be seen in her own narrati,'c, but the object of the Committee ha.s been comple tely fulfilled in leaving in Egypt a permanent record of English practical phibnthropy.

4 The organization of the St. John Ambulance Association pro:v ed ilwaluable, and through its agency not merely was large pecul1lary assistance obtained, but the names of hundreds of volunteers were received and registered, who were ready to go and :vork under Lady Strangford. A very touching appeal to the p,ubh~ was made in December by l\Ir. R. Lopes, whose son had dIed I~ the hospital founded by Lady Strangford j and. the ,response to 1~ enabled the Committee to hand over the HospItal 111 a very effiCIent state to the local managing Committee

The sub-committee in publishing this Report and statement of accounts, begs to thank the many subscribers who enabled them to strengthen Lady Strangford's hann.s, and ~as gratefull~ to acknowledge the sympathy and cooperation, w,hlc,h they receIved on all occasions from the London and prov111cml press. The labours of the Committee were arduous and anxious, but they are rewarded by the presence in Egypt of an English hospital, under the patronage of Her Majesty, and of H.H. the Khedive. F.

REPORT OF THE

EGYPTIAN

RELIEF

FUND.

By VISCOUNTESS STRANGFORD.

ON the 9th of August Lt.-Colonel Duncan, R.A., requested me to undertake the organisation and administration of a Relief Fund for the refugees in Alexandria j a commission which, after some hesitation, I accepted. The Relief to be given was not to consist of the distribution of food or labour only, but was to include the formation of rough hospitals for the reception of the refugees j and as it appeared likely that these hospitals would be the prominent feature of the Relief, I hoped to bring the experience of the last few years into practical use. I ascertained that three of the nurses who had been with me in Turkey, were able and willing to crve with me again, and I therefore felt confidently hopeful of success. :My work began in purchasing a quantity of articles for the manufacture of clothes, viz., needles, thread, l'~C. j and in getting ready the equipmcnt, as far as beds and linen, for the needs of a hospital to hold sixty patients. A small stock of drugs, 'c., was also prepared. One of the four nurses engaged spoke Arabic: and a superintendent for the laundry, also fluent in the ways and language, ,,,as found. l\Ir. Herbert Sieveking, was selected to take the hospitals in charge. It was decided that I should proceed by Brindisi to Egypt, while the doctor and nurses, &c., came by sea from Liverpool. I left England on the 6th of September, and embarked at Venice, in the P. and O. steamship, J£alwa. \Ve sighted Port Sai'd early on the Lj.th, and were immediately after signalled by an outcoming steamer, ' Great victory: ,,'ar over." I had, however, seen enough of the consequences of war to be sure that such help as I could give would be as much needed after, as during the fighting. An hour later we entered the Canal, and the governor of Port SaId, Emin Bay, immediately came on board the J1£ahua, bringing me kind messages of welcome to Egypt, from His Highness the Khedive. He then took me to the Yhedivieh steamer,

6 "'here cabins had been reseryed for rne by His Higlmes. ' orders, and he informed me that he had been desired to accompany me to Alexandria. On arriving there on the morning of the 15 th , I found Salem Pasha, chief physician to the Khedive) waiting to conduct me to the hotel; he told me that the Khedive \\'ished to see me in t\\'o days. Alexandria was naturally in a state of the highest excitement, and so full of people, that not even the dazzlingly white ruins of the burned city could look triste or melancholy. I lost no time in making enquiries as to the fulfilment of the commission I had undertaken; but the condition of everything had changed, and whatever number of refugees might have poured into Alexandria at the commencement of the fighting, not one had been left in the city, for all had been conveyed to Malta, Trieste, Cyprus, and other places. It was impossible, therefore, to fulfil the commission I had accepted literally. Hm\' was I to make myself useful? The lines outside Alexandria were still kept by the rebeb, and nearly all the towns in the Delta were yet in their hands; but their retention was only the question of a few days, and it appeared very unlikely that any large number of fellaheen would come into Alexandria; nor was it probable that there would be m.:my sick or Had there been, however, a sudden wounded among them. return of refugees, there was ample accommodation for them in the t\\'o superb hospitals belonging to the German deaconesses and the Greek community;* hospitals that would be a credit to any city. I learned also that those who had fled from Alexandria would not be allowed to return for a considerable time. I felt therefore, a little discouraged when I drove to the Ras-et·Tin palace on the afternoon of the 18th. His Highness and the Princess received me with the warmest and kindest words of welcome, and of thankfulness to those who had sent this peaceful mission of aid to his countrymen. But the Khedive at once added most earnestly "There are no refugees here: 'will you go and nurse my poor soldiers? " Of course I assented gladly, and we discussed the lluestion of \\'here such aiel was most needed and would be best supplied. It had been suggested that I should re-model the Arab hospital j list outside Alexandria; but the result \\'ould at the best have been unsatisfactory, and only a very small number of the wounded would be brought there. I '" This hospital is superintended by an English lady.

7 a':ike(~ Lo ue sent up to Cairo by the first train that could get along the lmc, and then suggested that His Highness should give me the house that had been occupied by the rebel Arabi. The Princess laughed hearti~y at the idea, and said it would be "tres juste" ; and the Khechve promised I should have it if possible. The railway station on the 20th was a sight to be remembered; fr0111 early dawn it was densely crowded by a vast multitude of men, all of them struggling to get tickets for the train to Cairo. An engine had passed safely over the newly-laid, or rather re-laid metals at Kefrdowar, and everyone who had property in Cairo wished to sec its condition with their own eyes. News came by telegram again and again as we waited in the station, of the safety of such and SUd.l families, and the joyful relief to the hearts of many of the am::lOUS husba.nds and fa.thers who had left their homes in Cairo, made many touching scenes. Some had been unable to get news of them for many weeks. It became evident that the whole of this crowd would not be carried off at once: the railway managers, however, contrived to despatch a single carriage in advance containing Riaz Pasha, the Minister of the Interior; and his Excellency ,,,as good enough to give up a compartment for myself and my companions. These were H.E. Salem Pasha, into whose charge the 1" hedive had given me; Colonel Money, \\'ho kindly undertook to give mc rooms in his brother's house; Dr. Murison, and some others. Cairo was soon reached and we found Shepheard's hotel promising its first dinner that evening. N e\.t morning Salem Pasha took me to see the house I had asked for; in situation it was perfect, and there ,,'ere plenty of rooms (over forty), but it was in a fearful state of ruin and dirt. Arabi had left it only four days previously, and, no doubt as a proof of their own loyalty, the neighbours had stripped it of everything; the llanelles off the doors, even the bars from the kitchen fire and the doors from the ovens, "hile scarcely a \yindow remained unbroken. .l\rrangements were quickly made for its being cleaned and repaired, and then Salem Pasha took me to see the large Arab Hospital at the Kasr-eJ-.\in just beyond the palace usually occupied .b~ the Khedive. This hospital is an enormous building, contall1ll1g beds for 1000 men, a place for lunatics) and also a separated building for women; these last I did 110t visit. One half of the building is occupied with rooms for students, of whom there are upwards of 400. These young men come from the country, and

8 are lodged, boarded and clothed entirely at the expense of the Government,; their training lasts four to five years, after which they are appointed to the towns and villages all over Egypt. They were drmvn up in groups at the door of each ward as we came in, dressed in sno'NY white loose gO'wns; there were also about thirty medical men in attendance to receive his Excellency. Some of the wounded had come in only a few hours before, many on the previous day,; there were some horrible objects among them and many were dying. The journey not only from the field of Tel-el-kebir, but from the villages to which the poor fellows had dragged themselves after the battle, proved more fatal to many of them than the wounds. The hospital was a dreary, terrible place; no doubt the patients were kindly attended to, but nothing that could be done, would have made it really comfortable. I was most thankful when the visit was over. Mr. Sieveking arrived that evening, and we at once set vigorously to work preparing our house for the future hospital. "\ Vc had to see to all the cleaning, repairing and repainting of thc house, water and pipes to arrange, and kitchens to put in order; a half ruined stable was turned into a splendid laundry, with watcr laid on and drains to carry it off; the result, after much trouble, was most satisfactory. A vast mountain of dust and rubbish was removed, the little court was flagged, and a pleasant garden replaced the dust heaps,; the workmen laboured early and late with a clumsy readiness that soon got every thing accomplished,not well but some lzow. The whole of this work was done at the expense of his Highness the Khedive. Meantime, with the untiring assistance of Colonel Money, we got the furniture bought, not however without difficulty. Not a European shop in the whole city was open, and very few Arab shops: for all the Europeans left Cairo early in June, and the Arabs mostly closed before the entry of the British troops. I fancy that my own appearance in the city, where I was, for fully a fortnight, the only European woman, did as much as anything to allay the fears of the Arabs and semiEuropeans, and every day saw morc and more shops re-opened. And I may mention here that even in the first days of excitemcnt and confusion, wc met with nothing but tbe most obliging civility wherever we went, though we had frequently to penetrate into the utmost depths of native bazaars and lanes,; nor indeed did the people seem to interest themselves with any keenncss in the events of the past summer.

The bedsteads given by the townsmen of Leicester, were long delayed on the voyage ; they were intended for theArab patients only, and we llad to get others for ourselves. This was soon done at a trifling expense, for Cairo shops have always a cane sofa at the door, or close to it, for the convenience of the midday siesta; the Egyptians lie stretched on the open cane work, simply wrapped in a blanket; but the addition of a mattress makes a most comfortable and healthy bed. The cost of each is about one shilling, but I at once had a number made ten inches longer, and with canes at the corners to support mosquito nets,* and this brought the cost to two and haif francs. The sea weedt stuffing for the mattresses had already been sent from Constantinople, and was soon put into canvass cases. 'While the whole place was yct full of workmen, ,ye took up our abode in the half rcady house, so quickly that only just a fortnight had elapsed between the arrest of Arabi and our own occupation of his house. But even before this our "'ork had begun. The hotels as fast as they opened were rapidly filled with English officcrs, and among these many sickened. Eyery day came a fresh entreaty for nurses to attend some bad casc, and all the nurses wen.: at ,,'ork within two days of their arriyal. ,Ye had come to Cairo at the Khedive's request, to nurse his Arab soldiers, but here were our own sick countrymen needing nursing infinitely more than woundcd men, for enteric fever and dysentery require far more nursing than wounds. The nurses could not be spared out of the house except for great emergency, nor were the overfilled hotels desirable places for invalids,; and so it came to pass, that some days before "'e were in readiness for the Arabs, I ,,'as forced to bring English officers out of the hotels into our Hospital if they were to bc nursed by my nurses. They were of course "' These mosquito curtains wcre necessaries [or thc Europeans; the Arabs dill not necd them. Bul the Hies \\ ere the cause of much suffering to the nati\'es, and I gave them small picces of mus1in to layover their [aces when sleeping. It was a triAc in itself, but it impressed the natiyes im111cnsely, and they \"ere very grateful for the relief. His Highness the KheJiye noticed it at ?nce when he visitell the IIospital, and was guite excited with pleasure; he cned out:" C'est adorable! on clort proprement!"

attended by whatever medical man had the case in hand, and of course, also, Mr. Sieveking could not attend any such cases while he was attending open wounds. That we should do all we could for our own officers was only in accordance with the wish strongly expressed by the Director General of the A.M. D., previous to my leaving England, that in the event of assistance being required, I would hold my staff and all else at the disposal of the SurgeonGeneral-in-charge in the field. Upon my promising to put ourselves at their command in case of need, Her Majesty's Secretary of State for \Var, sent written instructions to the Principal Medical Officers in Egypt, to afford us as much assistance as it should be in their power to give. In consequence of these instructions, every request I made for lint, tow, brandy, or other articles was at once most liberally and most kindly attended to. \Ve owe these Medical Officers sincere thanks for the help they gave us so readily. Every bed was soon occupied. 1\lr. Sieveking went up to the Kasr-el-Ain Hospital as soon as our wards were ready, and chose from among the worst of the wounded the cases that he thought would have a better chance of being saved in our Hospital than in the Arab Hospital; but the numbers to choose from rapidly diminished, for the poor fellow's died off in a most deplorable manner within a few days of their arrival. The fellah Arab has a great horror of a Hospital, and all that could reach a village hid themselves there, and many were found with difficulty when searched for later on. Many succumbed to the inevitable exhaustion of the roughly-made journeys: many have been totally unaccounted for. 'Vhen Mr. Sieveking went round the Arab Hospital to choose his cases, some of them showed great fear at the thought of their removal to our care: and it required a good deal of eloquence to persuade them that they would not be tortured, or otherwise ill-treated. It was the same at first in the Turkish \Var, especially with the Egyptian troops, till the fame of the English Surgeons and Hospitals spread throughout the land so loudly tllat every wounded man cried out to be taken "beni Inglizin!" Here, in Egypt also, they \vere at first surprised and then delighted at the devotion and skill of the surgeon, and tIle tender kindness of the nurses; and from first to last we never had allY trouble with them: all were orderly, tractable, and apparently grateful and affectionate. They bore patiently any little difficulty of interpretation, and sulJmitted cheerfully to their unavoidable sufferings. Happily, out of all our Arabs, we only

lost two, and they were both in a hopeless condition when brought in. A good many left us happy and strong; and, to my mind, it says not a little for the Arab love of home, how invariably they wanted to leave us, begged and implored to be allowed to go, even before they were fit to travel, to return to their poor hard-worked wives, out of a place where they had more comforts and good things such as they love, than they ever had before or will get again _ Many a wife walked to Cairo, thirty, forty, even fifty miles to see her husband, and would sit patiently at the roadside hour after hour, till the appointed moment of admittance arrived;-·while some poor fellows used to lie sorrowful and weeping that they could get no tidings of the wife or the home, which, perhaps, had been ruined in the miseries of the brief rebellion. Our patients were nearly all fellallem from the Delta: only a very few had been in the army for any time: and with only two or three exceptions all had been wounded at Tel-el-Kebir. They showed no interest whatever in the fate of Arabi; and not much enthusiasm for the Khedive; the only visitor that roused them into any very warm expression was General Sir A. Allison. With the utmost kindness he stood by every bed, questioning each man as to his share in the battle; the praise he gaye to some, assuring them that their battalion had" fought well and bravely," delighted the poor fellows more than anything else that took place in the Hospital; and they often asked did I think (( the great onearmed one" would remember them ",hen he went back to England? Our days were soon very full of work. All our meals were taken together at one table, including all the English and the interpreters. Breakfast was cleared away soon after seven: and then, while the nif,ht nurse retired to bed, we dispersed over the house-to the wards, the laundry, tIle kitchen, &. c. Lunch was at half-past eleven, dinner at half-past seven, and the house was darkened and quiet by nine. It is not easy to describe the labour of starting a completely new thing with entirely new people. Everything, or nearly everything that was needful for the comfort and well-being of our patients, was to be got in Cairo; but ready money, and much more of that than was convenient to my limited means, 'was necessary, and a yet greater expenditure of time, trouble and thought. When material was obtained it had to be put together, and workmen were hard to find, and harder still to manage when

found. * IVe had two Copts for interpreters and general assistants, and the five English nurses were all helpful and hearty. An Englishwoman (Mrs. Cheney), who spoke Arabic well, looked after the black boys, who washed the floors every day to keep the wards fresh and sweet. lYe all worked together with good will and good heart; and except when one Arah cook went mad with hasheesh, and another got drunk with rum, we scarcely ever had a cross word or an angry look . And then to cheer us through the weariness of keeping the endless accounts and looking after the limitless details, the letter-writing and so on-came visits from kind friends, besides those of the Officers who came to see their invalided comrades. There was never a day but that some one, often many, looked in for a pleasant cup of afternoon tea, and left a kindly word behind them. IVeary heads and even aching limbs are often cured by words of friendly symp2,thy and encouragement. IVe had not been long in Cairo before we saw how entirely the whole city was without Hospital aid. t A very small French Hospital in a convent at Abbassiyeh was the only accommodation for Europeans, and Abbassiyeh is three miles from Cairo. IVe found that all Government employes, when sick, were sent down to the German Deaconesses' Hospital at Alexandria: an arrangement which had many inconveniences, besides that of loss of time, and the po\yer of preventing hundreds of serious illnesses by the want of pro-

* We kept a carpenter's shop always going on in the Hospital. Before one of the Festivals the carpenter told me he should not come for four days. I asked why, as the Festival \yas to last only one day? "Truly so," he replied, "but I and my children will eat so much we shall not be able to get off Cit1\' beds for three days after." And they were not. t Yet how necessary a better state of medical aid than the existing Amh Hospital is, may be judged from an extract of a letter from Dr. Murison just received: April 2nd, 1883 :" Several soldiers were sent from the Arab Hospital a few days ago to join their battallions after having been there for sixty days. General Sir E. Wooel was so shocked by their appearance that he sent them to me [or report. There were five of them. Two were suffering Hom severe hemorrhage from the kidneys. One had the drum of his ear broken, with necrosed bone discharging freely. From one who was set down as a most accomplished malingerer, and reCOJl1~n:nde~ to be punished, I took about two and a-half pints of pus; he had hip Jomt dlsease. The fifth was probably a malingerer. BuL these men were set down as fit to 'W01'k . From my report on these cases C eneral \Vooel has issued n ~eneral order that all sick men are to be sent first to the Victoria Hospital, and If no room there, then sent on to the Arab Hospital."

per allen lion given at once. Hotels are neither conlfortable or health y for invalids; th~re is no assistance for persons of the class that occupy furnished apartments; and even for those who have handsome houses of their own no attendance but that of the medical man is possible. Ho\\' terribly grave is the need of good nursing in conjunction with the aid of the physician we will not here discuss: for happily the need of nursing is now thoroughly acknowledged everywhere. Day by day as our Hospital steadied into thoroughly good order -day by day as we improved eyery arrangement in it, perfected our yentilation, and at last got every pipe to draw and tap to turn, -it did seem more and more a pity that so much good work should be lost when its temporary occupation 'was over; His Highness the l"hedive had spent money upon it, and we had given hard work and all else; was all this to be thrown aside when its temporary need was over? True, we were only a " Relief Fund," and the help we had been able to give to the A1I.D. was, so to say, accidental; but everything had been thoroughly well done, as, in case of sickness everything, /Illtst be done, however brief the need of it. The money collected for temporary relief was inevitably drawing to a close, and we should simply give up the fine airy house which had proyed so eminently suitable for a hospital and take from Cairo all the benefit of our labour which Cairo so much needed. A t least I determined to try if we could not turn our temporary relief into an abiding benefit. Fortunately for our plan there was an l\I.D. with three years' extensive practice among both Europeans and natiYes at Alexandria, the English attendant at the German Hospital there, and already fluent in Arabic, whom we knew was intending to leave the coast for the interior at Christmas. Here was our opportunity, and one which for the sake of Cairo, we felt ought not to be lost. H. R. H . the Duke of Connaught had visited the Hospital on the 24th October, and was so much pleased with all he saw, that, with the appreciative sympathy for which our Royal Family are so remarkable, he at once said, "But this good work must not come to an end! I do hope you will make it permanent; you must make it permanent." And when I took leave of His Royal Highness he repeated this hope and kindly said he would be Patron of the Hospital if the Khedive approved of it. His Highness the Khedive did more than approve: he earnestly begged us to get it so arranged. But the difficulties were greaL. Hospitals never can be self-

IS supporting, and how few that are in health make provision for tbe day of sickness? on the contrary, people seem to think sickness a providentially-given excuse to account for things that go wrong. The long story of our hopes and dIsappointments cannot be told here in detail. Everyone agreed how great was the need, how immense would be the benefit of an European Hospital for all nations in Cairo; but where were the means whereby to do it? The Egyptian Treasury ,vas at its lowest; the money set apart for the medical department of the Government was, no doubt, sadly misused in many cases :-too much to some, too little to others, -but the repairs of old abuses take time to make, and our Relief Fund could not go on till the Egyptian Government was reformed. Moreover, no one could expect the Government of Egypt to set up ':l. purely English Hospital. Before the year was out, however, we had proof that when a good thing ought to be done, there are always bGood men who baet . It done. Recognizing the great value of a Hospital for all Cairo, and the advantage to the public offices of the diminution of sickleaves,';" Sir Auckland Colvin recommended the Egyptian Government to grant a subscription of £ stg. 2,000 to the Hospital for ~he prese.nt year, to be continued annually should the advantage of Its establrshment be proved. All difficulty, at least, all impossibility was now at an end. Early in December we had seen ourselves at the end of our money, while many cases were in the house whose removal would not be possible for another month and other cases of British officers were coming in. For more tha~ a month I had been seeking for aid from the Egyptian Government, and dreading that want ~f funds would compel us to close while these negotiations were pendmg. Had we done so, of course the Hospital would never have re-opened. From this disaster we were rescued by the kindness of a friend, Mr. Ralph Lopes, who wished that the same care and skill which had been given to his sont-alas! in vain~should be available for all others who desired to profit by it; and he himself at once collected a goodly sum, the news of which reached us in the middle of December; the relief to our anxiety was immense. '" By the calculations which had then bcen lately made of the ~ick.lenvc ?ranted to employes in the Government offices of Cairo, it was ascertained that, If rolled out, they would amount to twelve yem's!

t Captain Henry Lopes, Highland Light Infantry; died of enteric fever and sunstroke, loth of December.

\\\; had enough now not only to keep open until the permanent Hospital should be, as we hoped, established, but we trusted we should have sufficient funds to complete the work of furnishing'the house up to its future needs. Private rooms for patients of the richer classes were imperatively necessary; we trusted that the charges paid for these, and the small fees paid by consulting outpatients, aided by the subscriptions of residents in Cairo, would bling enough in addition to the Government subvention, to keep up the Hospital modestly but efficiently. ,Ve proposedThat the Hospital should be prcscrvcd in pcrpetual rememhrance of the assistance brought to Egypt by the English in her hour of need. That the Hospital should be utiliscd1. For lhose Egyptians ",ho dcsire a better treatment than they can obtain at an ordinary native Hospital. 2. For those English Officers who prefer a civil to a military Hospital. 3. For the European employes of the Government for whom the Arab Hospital is not suitable. 4. For the Officers and Privates of the Egyptian Army and of the Gendarmerie. 5. For the training of Copt or Egyptian-European women as Nurses.

The Government subvention commenced from the 1st of J a.nuar)', r883, and a. formal Committee ,vas held in it on the 8th. Hitherto the hospital had had no name, but under the new birth of a permanent establishment it was necessary to give it a titl.e. It was suggested to call it "the St. John's Hospital" in allUSlOn to the Refuaee Relief Fund which had brought us to Egypt, and which wa~ initiated by the St. John's Ambulance Association; while we ourselves wished it to be called "the Connaught," after the first friend who had expressed a hope of its permanent success. But when these names were mentioned to the Khedive, his Highness promptly replied, "My people do not yet have that sound in their cars' but there is ~not a/ellalt now who does not know the name of {he Queen of England and lhe meaning of it; I wish it to be called' THE VICTORIA HOSPITAL,' and I will be its Pab'on." Of course we gladly obeyed: and the name was at once painted on the four sides of the house bOlh in English and Arabic. We spent the next three weeks in making our last in:proveme?ts in the wards: in re-cementing the roof which the Chnstmas rams had proved to be much worn out: in furnishing th: rooms !or private or paying patients as nicely as possible! an~ m arrangmg offices for out-patients and dispensing. Dr. Sleyekmg .was ,compelled to delay leaving Cairo till Dr. Murison could fi111Sh hIS ar-

16 rangements in ."\lexandria, and could take up the work [or good and all. The grief of the soldiers at losing their doctor ,vas quile touching; some of them had become much attached to him and were inconsolable even to tears, at his going away. One saicl to me: "my bones will splinter now, but ",hat other hands can take them out as his have done?" another said" ho\\" can I walk ~f he does not stay to see my first step?" and several kept assur111g me "lYe shall think of him so often when we are in Heaven !" On taking leave of the KhediYe, his Highness expressed his warm thanks to ~Ir. Sieveking for his Llnwearied labour in admin~stering the hospital and attending to these poor fellows, maimed 111 the brief service they had been compelled to giyc to Arabi the re.bel; and in the kindest manner the Khedive presented him wIth the fourth class of the Mejidieh as a '( personal soun~nir" from himself. It was with the keenest regret that we tore ourselves away, 011 the 27th of January, from the place we had created with so muc h labour and delight; but we were much worn in health, and ,ye delayed only to see the work fully and steadily settled. Sad, indeed, were our hearts at leaving: but they were yet fuller of gratitude ~nf~rgettable for all the immense kindness, sympatllY and h:artlly-glven help that we had received from the Earl of Duffcrin, Sir Edward Malet, Sir Auckland Colvin, Mr. Alonzo Money, Colonel Money, Mr. Gerald Fitz-Gcrald, Sir Archibald Alison, Dean Butcher, and lastly, but by no means the least helpful, Mr. Moberly Bell. To their Excellencies Riaz Pacha, Minister of the Interior, and his successor Isma11 Pacha Eyoub, and to Salem Pasha, who from the first took an active part in its formation, and was ever at hand to forward our wishes, ,ye owe the warmest thanks. I: is impossible to say "who helped us most, but each gave of hIS best, and each made a link in the chain without the aid of which we could never have accomplished the establishment of the Victoria Hospital. T~ere is nothing more to be told, but that her Majesty graCIOusly summoned me to the palace shortly after our return to England, that she might personally express her interest in the Hospital in which she is joint patroness with H.H. the KhediYe, a.nd her good wish~s for its future well being. Her Majesty has S111ce presented to It her own portrait and those of H.R.H. the Duke and Duchess of Connaught.

,Ve trust that those who have visited Egypt for pleasure or for health,-those who have seen sickness and death in a far away bnd,-those who care to testify their interest in beneficent works in the country so important to England,-and those who desire to assist in the development of the Arabs, and especially in the training of native women,-will now and then, once a year, send a little aid towards the support of the Victoria Hospital, Cairo.

ACCOUNT OF LADY STR.\~G FORD'S HOSPITAL AT CAIRO, FOR EGYPTIA TS AXD ENGLISH.

HERDERT SIEYEKIXG, i\LR.C.S.Eng.

As a brge number of your readers are interested in the St. John s Ambubnce ~\ssociation, I think some account of the work being done here, under the admirable guidance of Lady Strangford, by the surgical and nursing staff sent out by that society, may be not unwelcome. It was originally intended that a hosrital should be established at. Alexandria; but on arrival t.here, on September 20th, it was found that the few wounded who had arrived (the majority ha\'ing vanished no one knew whither) were being well tended at the Deaconesses and Greek Hospitals, and that there would be little work for us in that quarter. It was therefore decided at once to proceed lo Cairo, where ~here was no European ho pita1, especially as the baltle ot Tel-el-Kebir had taken place seven days previously, and the wounded were arriving daily. "Whilst at Alexandria, the

Khedive gave Lady Strangford permission to use Arabi's late residence at Cairo-His Highness kindly undertaking to pay for all nece:sary repairs) it has luckily proved suitable in every way for hospltal purposes. \V~ found t~le ho~se entirely empty, except for the presence of Arabl s favounte whIte cat, and in a most dirty condition. "\Vorkmen were immediately put in to make the place habitable as soon as possible, the whole building being whitewashed inside and out laundry built, cesspools cleaned, yard paved, etc.; and on Octobe~ 15 th , we had four sick: officers, one correspondent, and twenty wounded Arabs, most of the latter very severe cases. . \Vhilst the hospital was being got ready, our nurses were not Idle, three of them being engaged with sick officers at the different hotel~-two of th~ cases .being most serious (acute dysentery and typho~d), and rapIdly gomg down hill for want of the constant attentIOn which a skilled nurse alone can give. I am glad to say however, that they improved from the moment the nurses went t~ th~n:. The value of good nursing could not have been more stnkmgly demonstrated. The applications for nurses which Lady Stra~gford has received have been numerous) and the Army Medl~al Department cannot possibly realise the valuable aid it l~ses m n.ot employing a large staff to attend its sick and wounded. Slr ~. AlIson, the present Commander-in-Chief, fully recognises the lm~ortance. of such assistance, as he gave orders for the sick officers wards m the new hospital at Abbassiyeh to be reduced to a smal~er number than had been arranged as Lady Strangford's hospItal was. also o~)en for t?eir reception-an official recognition of our hospltal whIch we hIghly appreciate. Arabi's hou,se stands quite alone in a well-to'do and open part of the town, havmg a broad road on each sl'de TIle b Ul'ld'mg conSIsts . O.f two blocks, ]omed by a narrow wing and balcony on the south SIde. Between t~e two is a garden, fifty feet by forty, and at the north-east c~rn~r IS a yard, about half as large, at one end of which the, laundry IS sItuated, all washing being done on the premises by n~tlve women. In the west wing, on the ground floor, there are three wards, large entrance hall, kitchen, etc. Above, on the first floor, are rooms , for most of the staff ' . 1'llC officers' rooms are on the first floor I? the east block (which is much larger than the other), occupymg the whole of the north side. On the same: floor are Arabs, who, however, are quite separate from the Eng1ish, On the ground floor of the same block are six rooms (three bein(r ustd ,

L .

for w;:trds, large entrance hall, bath room, kitchen for Arabs, etc. On each floor there are, besides several smaller rooms used for stores, pharmacy, ophthalmic cases, etc. All the closets in .the centre of the buildin a have been nailed up, those on the south sIde, close to the street, al~ne being used, a window opening directly on to the street from each. Large ventilating pipes, ten inches in diameter, have been run up outside each block from the cesspool bene;:tth to sever;:tl feet above the roof, to carry off as much foul ;:tir as possible. Such is the salubrity of the climat~ that, in spite of the ;:tbsence of artificial drainage, the place remall1S remarkably free from smells, and the sick and wounded do we1l under circumstances which in England would be deemed fatal to success: ~l doors and windows remain open day and night. The dnnkI~g water is filtered in the native" zeers," large oval jars, ~ade of. lIe mud-the spongy iron-filters which we brought ont .bemg entuely useless for cleansing muddy Nile water. The native cane bedsteads, " sireers," costing about two francs apiec~, are m~st useful for fractured thighs. They stand about eighteen ll1ches hl,gh, and are formed of vertic;:tl ;:tnd horizontal canes, the former p;:tssmg through the btter, and making a rectangnlar lattice-work, with apertures about fiye inches by three. They are most light, airy, and strong. The floor of the bed is made of thc same material, and can stand any weight. The surgeon-general, after see~~g them in. use at our Hospital, ordered four hundred for the Imhtary. hospltal, ~s. ~he sick English soldiers, one month after the, cessatIOn. ?f hostlhtles, were lying on the floors, in which unenvmble POSItIon many of thcm arc ~til1 to bc seen. T'he Egyptian Gm ernment is most particular ,in assuring itse~f that thosc wishing to practice here are duly qu.ahfied) ,t~le counCIl \\"ould not even accept my English registratIOn certlficate as a guarantee, but requested me to send for my diploma as soo~ as possible. \Vould that the home Government w~re equally anxl~us in the same direction. His Highness the Khedlye has been tak1l1g the greatest interest in the hospital, sending H. E. S~lel~l Pasha, his chief physician, three or four times a week to keep h1l111l1f?rmed of all that takes place. To-clay, November 1St, he ,came hImself, having previously requested that no, spe,ci~l preparatlons should be made, as he wished to see the hospltal 111 ItS every-day d~ess. He went most minutely into everything, and expressed h1l11~elf delighted with all he saw. He is going to send ~lis chil?ren 111 a few days. Salem Pasha, whose large-minded deSIre for lmproyement

is \\" or tll Y of all praise, has done all in his power to make the \\"8 y smooth for us, and is most anxious that the hospital should suc~ ceed, and become a permanent institution. He would gladly do much to reform the existing Arab hospitals here and at Alexandria, but circumstances are, at present, too powerful for him. He expressed himself as truly heart-broken at the way the ncw building at the latter place is being conducted. It is supported by Government at a cost of £7000 a year, most of which goes into the pockets of a lot of useless officials j but he is quite powerless to remove them, as each is supported by some one of influence. The comparatively small number of wounded who have arrived here, is due entirely to the fear the natives naturally entertain of the treatment, medical and general, at the native establishments. An Arab's dread of such places was most strikingly shown here the other day. One man of the first twenty we received from the Arab hospital had a compound fracture of both bones of the left leCT in upper third, with a large gangrenous wound, and was altogethe~ in a hopeless condition, refusing to have the limbs removed, and being, from his condition, injurious to the other patients. '1Ve sent for the vehicle to have him conveyed back to the Arab's hospital. After he ?ad been put in, and found he was really to go, his cries became pIte?US, and he besought me to take off bot!? his legs rather than send hm1 back. Under the circumstances, the vehicle had to return empty. All our nativ.e patients are fairly astonished at the manner they have been receIved, and thoroughly appreciate it. There could be no g~eater bo~n conferred on the Egyptians than that a few good EnglI~h hospIt~ls should arise in different parts of the country. HappIly ~here IS every prospect of this one being established on a firm foot111g, and being carried on by most able English medical men. The names of Dr. Grant Bey and Dr. A. Murison of Alex~ andria (who is coming to settle here), arc a sufficient guarantee for the future. good management of the hospital. They have both work~d WIth and for us. in the heartiest manner. To Surgeon Harnson of the GrenadIer Guards, we are also much indebted. Funds are still needed for carrying on the present work but before Lady ?trangford leav~s, s~1e hopes to have made such al~ral1gements as t.o 111sure t~1e .hosplta~ 111 a great measure being supported by natIVe subscnptIOns. HIS Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught wh~ went ov:r the h?spital the other day, expressed a spontaneou~ deSIre to be lts EnglIsh patron. There is every prospect of tbe in-

:21

iluence of the work done here extending far beyond the hospital walls. Already in the Arabic Journal, El TVattaJl, (which has a very large circulation amongst all classes of natives) articles have appeared eulogising the nursing system, and calling on the Egyptian ladies to follow such an excellent example. Dr. Grant Bey, at a large meeting of the Arab hospital staff, in ~ stirrin? ~ddress (which will be translated and published in the natI:e Arable Journal, by H. E. Salem Pasha) brought the matter promll1ently.be~ore the Egyptian medical men. There is every reason for b~ll.evmg ~hat the present time is fully ripe for such a movement rece~vll1g ser~ous consideration from, and being supported by the EgyptIan publIc. Social and domestic conditions have much changed of late years. L\S an example, I may say that Salem Pasha is frequently called to visit the harems professionally, a thing unheard of a very few years since. The women of Egypt ·are daily becoming less hampered by burdensome restnctIOns. Old eastern customs are slowly but surely giving way before western int1uences j and English. nurses contimllng their \\"Ork amongst the natives would have an 111calcubblc power for good, such as could be obtained in no other way. Three officers and two correspondents have already left the hospital convalescent. At present, it contains four officers (t.\',·o down with typhoid and byo convalescent from same), one sold~er servant (typhoid), two Cyprus muleteers (purulent ophthah11la), twenty-eight Arabs (all wounded soldie~s!. .. The ,'\raos came to us in a most pItiable condItIOn from the r\ rab Hospital j broken legs and shattered joints were without splints, amputations looking like the cut ends of a Gern:an saus.age.; one patient \\ as half-starved, and another eaten up WIth pedlculI. 110re wounded will shortly be taken in. As soon as Dr. Murison arrives, an out-patient department will be formed, and an endeavour made to stimulate the authorities to oraanise a search expedition for all those who yet remain wounded in Dthe surrounding villages, there being large numbers un~ccounted for. There is every prospect of a search even now savmg many lives, and relieving much misery, as the Arabs are wonderfully hardy, and bear privations in a truly marvellous manner.

THE VIOTORIA HOSPITAL, OAIRO. JANUARY 22,

188 3.

The aboye title (chosen by the Khedive) is that by which the first European Hospital in Cairo, founded by the unwearied efforts of Viscountess Strangford is in future to be known. The Egyptian Government has decided to giye a grant for one year of t\ya thousand pounds, to be continued if the, not wry onerous, conditions accompanying it are satisfactorily fulfilled. The chief of these are, that an average monthly minimum of in and out-patients be treated; that a certain number of Arab students be allowed to attend at the hospital, and that all accounts shall be open to the inspection of the Government. As the £ 2,000 grant will not be sufficient alone, the hospital will contribute to its own maintenance by patient's fees. Single rooms \yill be reserved for first c1ass patients, i.e., those able to pay all their expenses; other in-patients will be charged at the rate of five and two francs daily, a fair proportion of beds being reserved for the poor. The out-patients (i.e. all those able to afford it) will be charged one piastre (2~d.) a ,isit. Several fresh wards have lately been added, by making "'indows in the" hareem," part of the house and the building can now accommodate comfortably seyenty patients. The committee, composed of the first English residents, whom I am glad to say have already rendered great assistance, with Sir Edward Malet as president, held its first meeting on the 8th of January, and if any proof were necessary of the need for such an institution as Lady Strangford's work supplies, it might be found in the general good wishes and valuable help Ivhich have come from all quarters, English and native. The sick leaves) at the present moment, of the government employes reach an incredible number of years; Europeans in case of sickness, have to be sent all the way to Alexandria to the Deaconesses' Hospital, and the native emp10yes can only be got to enter the Arab Hospital here in the company of the policeman. I have paid many visits to the latter establishlnent j and I must say I cannot wonder at their aversion. I saW' lately an operation for labial elephantiasis. It lasted exactly on~ hour, and must have been very painful as the skin incisions were

large. No chloroform was given, the woman being held down by students crowding on all sides; towards the end one of the surgeons suggested an amesthetic, which excited intense scorn on the mind of the operator, who proceeded to push in the needles with points like pin heads, now and then resting himself, the better to maintain an animated discussion as to the lady's subsequent matrimonial prospects ,Ve have one man at present in the hospital whose thigh was removed at the upper third in the same way. There are certain wards set apart for sick prisoners, small boys charged with slight offences, arc mixed up with murderers and accomplished criminals, but all are treated alike in the matter of iron anklets and chains, which have to be worn, even in bed, no matter how sick or juvenile the sufferer may be. The ill-conduct and lack of improvement in these establishments is quite inexcusable, as many of the chief native medical men have studied at Paris, Vienna, &c., and have at least a knowledge of better things. Dr. ~\. 1IuRISOX (who has for some years had extensive practice at Alexandria) has undertaken the duties of Resident 1Iedical Officer, and on Lady Strangford's departure two experienced nurses, and an Englishwoman to superintend the laundry, will be left to assist him. Arrangements have also been made for nya Coptic women to reside in the hospital to learn the art of nursing, and if they are as apt and useful as the Arab Iyard-boys have been in adapting themselves to our requirements, they will soon become excellent nurses. The native wounded have proved very tractable and given no trouble whatever. They all belong to the" fellaheen." For adults, they arc the most simple, childish, superstitiolls people imaginable. Several objected much to the splints, but all in the end conquered their fears, with the exception of two, for whom a foot weight for fractured thigh, and a short backsplint had peculiar terrors. (. Effreets" (spirits) were believed to be running up and down their legs as long as they wore the obnoxious articles, and it was absolutely necessary at last to give in and take them off The thigh case \ras a severe compound comminuted fracture in the middle-third, several pieces of bone having to be removed; at the present time (January I) there is good union with exactly one and one-third inches shortening. Two other compound fractures of the thigh (one undoubtedly oblique) have left the hospital, the one with exactly two centimetres shortening, the second, with rather less. I cannot c1aim any

:-!5 credit for these last two cases, as there was considerable union before they came under my care, but I quote them to show the remarkable kindness of nature as in neither case was extension of any sort employed. Several of the wounds for days after admission exuded a tenacious gelatine-like substance, and in one or two cases maggots appeared before it was entirely got rid of. The natives having onr:c made up their minds, take chloroform well; I have never seen any struggling or sickness, even after prolonged inhalation, and several times after a first dose they have held the lint over their own faces for fear they should not get enough. \Ve have endeavoured to feed them exactly as they live at home, both as to time and kind of food. The following is the 17leJllt for one day: 6 a.m., coffee and native bread; 9 a.m., rice, milk and eggs; noon, meat and vegetables; 4 p.m., coffee and fruit; 7 p.m., meat and maccaroni. Each has had ten cigarettes served out daily, and as much more as his friends liked to bring him. I cannot help thinking that the constant smoking, night and day has assisted greatly in keeping the hospital healthy, none of the staff having suffered in any way, and the wounded having done well in spite of the muchabused drainage of Cairo . All the closets are, however, well ventilated on to the road and roof, and none in the centre of the building are in use. At first I tried to keep the windows wide open at night, but soon found that a little night air went a long 'way to produce marked rises of temperature in the Arab constitutions, and had to allow a very limited amount of ventilation in consequence. The Arabs invariably sleep with their heads tucked tightly in a blanket, and sometimes in two or three. I calculate that at least three-fourths of the wounds were in the lower extremities, and the number of amputations below the knee has been quite extraordinary. A great many of the wounded were quite old men. I found on the death of one old fellow his discharge, dated ten years back, which he had carefully preserved round his waist ever since. 'Ve have had two cases of perforation of the ilium; one has done remarkably well. The bullet entered midway between the top of the left trochanter and the crest of the ilium. Under chloroform, I enlarged the wound, took away a piece of bone rather larger than a shilling, covering up an aperture of the same size. On passing the finge r into the pelvis, I 'was able to sweep it round freely in

all directions as far as it would go, without meeting any obstruction, but was not able to find the bullet, which the patient said "had jumped out again." The man has never had any abdominal trou ble, and is now able to walk well. In the secon~ case the perforation (a small horizontal one), occurred half an Inch below the right crest; the patient has been at times very b~d. I should have made an opening in the right groin (where there IS a firm ,l~mp, as if the shell splinter had passed down between the bone and Iha~us muscle, tearing up the periosteum, and become surrounded WIth ossific deI)o it) but he was so weak that he nearly succumbed to the chloroform: and the attempt had to be abandoned. With weak injections of iodine the discharge has ve~y much de~reased, and the patient is just able to toddle about a httle., In thl,S case there has been a certain amount of tenesmus from tIme to tIme. Colonel Duncan, R, A" who initiated the mission, and who h,as done so much hard work in the past five months to ensure Its success, has arrived here to take command of the Egyptian Artil. lery; as a member of the Committee, he will continue to take an active interest in the undertaking, and has already begun to use it by sending in one of his men. It is to be ~oped th~t although the hospital is "ell launched, home interest in It (eSI?eClally ?n the part of members of the St. J01111'S Ambulance SOCIety), . WIll n?t entirely cease. I have only to add that all first-class patlents WIll be attended by any medical man they may choose, whether civil, military, or native.

\VINDSOR CASTLE,

K.G.

February 71ll, 1883.

DEAR LADY STRANGFORD,

------------------------ ---

Let me thank you m.any times for your very kind letter of the 23rd nIt. from Cairo. I rejoice to think that your untiring efforts in foune!ing a thoroughly good Hospital at Cairo, have been crowned with the success they deserve. You may well feel proud not only of the good you have already done, but also of the good you have every reason to hope may contiJlue. I am so pleased to think that the Khedive and all the leading men at Cairo have taken an interest in the (( Victoria IIospital" ; and I hope it will ever remain a lasting memento of the success of British arms in Egypt, and of the devotion to charity of English ladies and English doctors. I mentioned your great wish as well as that of the Khedive's, that the Queen should become a Patroness of the IIospital, and she has agreed to do so, and has authorized me to write to you to that effect. The Duchess is delighted to givc her name as Patroness, and is ,'ery grateful to you for asking her to be associated with so good a work. Hoping you havc returned to England in good health, belie"e me, Yours sincerely, ARTHUR.

Letter jrollZ HIS EXCELLENCY THE EARL OF DUFFERIN, K.P., Her lIfajes/y' s A 1Itbassador at Constantinople. CURO,

December 28th, 1883.

DEAR LADY STRANG FORD,

I cannot allow you to quit Egypt without placing on record, as Her Majesty's Ambassador, my very great sense of the services you have rendered to our own sick officers and men, and to our wonnded Arab prisoners, by the establishment of your Cairo Hospital. All the Military authorities here are loud in your praises, and I understand that His Highness the Khedive and the members of his Government fully appreciate its usefulness. This indeed is proved by the alacrity with which they have determined to continue it as a permanent institution. Not only will it in this way serve as a model of what an hospital should be, but it will be of great practical utility to our troops, both officers and men, as long as the Army of Occupation remains in Egypt. Comprehending as I do, all the difficulties with which you had to contend on your first arrival, and having witnessed the splendid success of your efforts, I am all the better able to pay this tribute to your energy, sound judgment, and practical powers of organization. Your mission to Egypt will not be the least honourable chapter in your life of self-sacrifice and devotion to the good of others.

Believe me, dear Lady Strangford, Yours sincerely, DUFFERI~.

\VAR OFFICE,

Prince s Beatrice, as President of the Shetland and Orkney I slands Centre, and of Major-General II.R.II. the Duke of Connaught, as President of the Classes at the Royal Iilitary College, i already so lengthy a one, that only this In't proof was needed to satil:3fy those who have had the be t intere't of the A ocia.tion so much at 1ea.rt that their zealous efforts to further a. work of such practical philanthropy had not pasl:3ed unnoticed in eyen the higllOst quarters; a.nd the Committoe feol assured that every worker, however humble, w-ill share it· pleasure and gl'a.tifica.tion at the honour conferred upon all concerned by a. Sovereign so much beloved as 01.U' revered Qneen, whose sympathy with aught that way tend to alleviate the suffering. or further the welfare of a.Il classes of her subjects, has long been a. household word. The ne_yt event which d serveS more than pa sing notice i the al pointment of Colonol Duncan ea.r1y in the present year to an important command in the Egyptain Army. This, whilst for ming as l'ega.l'cls Limself a. subject for personal congratulation, has caused a loss to the Association "'\",hich, though as it is

8 hoped, is only temporary, is one which the Committee cannot pass over without an expression of great regret. During the last five years Colonel DUllcan has devoted his great ability and all the means at his disposal to the development of that organisation towards the creation of which he so powerfully contributed; alld if the St. John Ambulance Association has gained, as it is believed, a firm hold on the sympathies of the people of this country, it is undoubtedly clue in a great measurc to the unflagging energy with which he laboured, and the persuasive eloquence which he employed in all parts of the United Kingdom whilst advocating the claims of a new school of philanthropy hitherto almost unknowll. The Committee anticipates with satisfaction the time when, his ,York in Egypt being accomplished, Colonel Duncan will return to England and again afford his colleagues the advantage of his most valuable co- operation and assistance. It has been decid ed that Colonel Duncan's name should still be retained as Deputy Chairman, two other members being also appointed to hold that office in addition, Mr. John Fm'ley and ::\-1r. V. Barrington Kennett. In last year's report it was stated that a centre had been established at Malta, so long the chef lieu of the Knights of t. .Tohn. Since then another foothold has been secured in the :Mediterranean, and, thanks to the initiative taken by Lady Brassey dill'ing occasional visits, and especially to the zealous efforts of the Rev. D. Nickersen, Chaplain to the Forces, whoso previous labours at Colchester and Portsmouth were productive of such gratifying results, the Gibraltar centre has become un fait accompli. This centre has also the advantage of the services of a hard-working member of the Committee, Captain J . C. Dalton; R.A., whose interesting report on Russian Ambulance math,iel, inspected during a recent visit to St. Petersburg, was published in the British Medical Journal for December 2nd. Amongst the new centres, or newly-formed branches of existing centres, may be mentioned Chatham, Guernsey, W orthing, Isle of Purbeck, Shetland and Orkney I Blands, Battle, Marske-by-the-Sea, P erth, Carshalton, Farnham, Merthyr Tydvil, Pease's , Vest Collieries (Darlington), vVimborne,

Fleetwood, Slough, lleywoocl, Eastbourne, Keighley, Faversham, nye, Llandudno and Festiniog, Rhondda Va1ley, Aylesbill'J, Cork, Gibraltar, 'tom'bridge, Burnley, Polesworth, The Heavy ,VooHen District (Yorks), Greenwich, Brighouse, Bexhill, Old Charlton, and Blackburn; and to the Metropolitan Centre have been added Dil:)triet No. XI. (~outlnnnk), and No. XII. (,Ville 'dell) ; amI in Fran(;e the Riviera. As an in. 'ta,nce of work performed, Surgeon-Major Hutton examined some "wec:ks since, during one yisit to Middlesbroughll- Tees, 18 classes, nUlnbering GOO pupils. Not less gratifying is it to report that at . everal old centres where from various causes clas~es hac1 become temporarily dormant, work has been renewed thi winter with redoubled 'rigour. In the nature of things this must occasionally be the ca. e, e8peeially in towns .\\There there is Hot a .fluctuating population, apd this fact points to the necessity that a local Ex.ecutive Cad1'e and organisation once fonned should be permanently maintained, so that at any time a fi:esh demand for classes may be at once supplied. Alit of the detached classes held eluring the past twelve months ·will be found ill the . . \ ppendi:x:. Amongst the number ,,,hich demand 81 ecial mention are tho, 8 at publie schools and collegeR, as Etoll; the Royal ~Iilitary College, Sandhurst; the l~()yal Naval chool, New Cro s; the \ Vm'eester Grammar School; ,Yhitgift School, Croydon; and the Royal Iilitary iullege, Kingston, Ontario, Canada. It will 1e obseryed also that in numerous cases former female ,. First .Aid" cla 'se' ha\'e thi,' year attellded the Illnsing course. So important iH the knowledge of nursing to women, and s useful is the information acquired ill the second course, that it i greatly to be desired thi may be invariably the case, and that every eneouragmnent may be given by Local Committees to the formation of such classes, The Metropolitan Police cIa seR, three courses of which, in <1ceordanee with an arrangement with the Home Office previously reported, are held annually at Scotland Yan1, Leman Street, Cartel' Street, Blaekheath Road, Albany Street, and T,vickenham, eontim.l e to be attended with great regularity and enthusiasm. As a proof of this it IDay be mentioned that 504 constables alonE" 1

10 returned their names for tho OOUl'SO oommenoing this spring. Similar polioe classes have beon or aro boing held at the nayal dookyards at Deptford and Devonport. At tho last-named plaoe 149 offioers were lately at one timo under oxamination. In tho City Polioe fresh classes have also boen held, under the supel'yision of ~fr. V. Barrington Kennott, Chairman of No. II. District. In this district oonsiderable impetus has been given to tho operations of tho Assooiation, not the least enoouraging of tho classes being those for tho offioers and men of tho Metropolitan Fire Brigade, all the oandidates of whioh, numboring 45, including the Chief Offioer, Captain Shaw, C.B., were suoces ful in the examination. Other classes in the City and Port of London whioh deserye notioo aro thoso at l\Iessrs. J. & R. Morley's, ,Vood Street, and Mo:::;srs. Cook, Son, & Co.'s, t. Paul's Churohyard; the Prudential Assurance Company's clas, c,' for both sexes of their omployes, the Meroantilo Marine cla at the Sailor's Home, Loudon Docks, malo and femalo cla, os at St. J ohu's Gate, as woll as cla, Re,' at Canonbury, Highgato, and Holloway, and special clas os for cyclists. The certificates will be presented by Il.R.H. The Duke of Connaught, at a mocting' to be held on the 30th of Juno, at tho Guildhall, under the presidenoy of the Lord Mayor. As in previous years, many important meetings have been held, either for the inauguration of oentres 01' the presentation of oertifioates and medallions. Prominent among the, emu, t be plaoed three : the first at ,Vindsor, on January 2 Gth, when the presentation was made by B .R.II. Princess Christian, who has lately been awarded thp, nursing oortifioate, after passing tho usual examination; the seoond at Riohmond, on Noyember 23rc1, H.S.H . the Duke of Teok, wbo \Vas aooompanied by II.R.n. tho Duohess, presiding; and the other at Dublin, on February 24th, on whioh oocasion Countess Spenoer presented 300 oertifioatos at a orowded and enthusiastic meoting of nearly 1,000 persons, held in the Sonate Houso of tho Royal University, kindly plu.oed at the disposal of tbe Looal Committee by tho Counoil. The energetio President of this centro, Mr. F . R. Davies, reports that the interest in tho work oontinues unabated, and tho good example set by the oapital has resultod in tho formu.tion of

11 dotached classes in other parts of Ireland, and the establishment of a centre at Cork. The following are a few of the places where 8imilar meetings havo takon place :-Portsmouth, Leamington, Lancastor, ,Voolwich, Exoter, hatham, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Vlimborne, Bedworth, Bridport, St. Helens, Swanage, Birmingham, Gravesend, Rochoster, I 'leworth, N orthfleot, Middlesbrough, Leicester, Carshalton, Coventry, IIastings, Kenilworth, Gloucester, Great Grimsby Brighouse, Birkdale, Willesden, W Grcester, South • hiolds, Rye, EtU'nley, Llandudno, Festiniog, Retford, Cork, ,V cst IIn,rtlepool, 'Vyken. And among t those members of the Ordor of 1t. John, and others to w born the Committee is indebted for pre, ·ic1ing at Ineetings or special attendance to advocate its claims, must bo recordod the names of H.S .II. The Prince Edward of Sax _-, Veimar, Lord Leigh, The Marquis of IIertford, Sir Eclmuuc1 and Lady Leohmere, Tho Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry The Duke of Wostminster, The Earls of Denbigb, Devon, and ,Vilton, Sir Edward Ponott, Sir Henry Looh, the late :Major- noral E.

Barrington Kennett at Exeter Hall, Bloomsbury, 10u thwark, East Greenwioh, Charlton Rye, and Birmiugham. Tho issue of oertifioatos sinoe tho opening of the ,\ inter Session of 1882 has roaohed the sum total of 9,069 . Of this number 1,139 have been awarded to women for tho nUl'sing OOUl'SO, 3,322 to women for the preliminary oourse, and 4-,G08 to men. The large comparative inorease in this last-named item

affords matter for grc:'at congratubtion, ::;inco, in the early days of the movement, it was assertod in many quarters that, howeyor popular ambulanco work might be with ",vomen, it ",vould novel' ma,ke much progrc:'ss 'w ith men. The illcorroutness of this assumption is abundantly proyod by tho foregoillg figm'es, and it need ollly be added that no,,\'11ere are snch steady perseverance and attention to tho instruction dieplayod as among thOFle cla~ses of tho popnlation wh ose daily ]ife is mor:;t familiar "rith accidonts-police, :6.re111.e11 , co1li0rs, miners, and tho, e working in factori es and manufactories. That the lectures also are not attended meroly as a tomporary recreation may bo recognised from the fact that 881modallions, which can only be obtained after two re-examinations [it intervalt:l of a year, havo been awarded. It is earnestly hoped that this may be continued, and that every facility and encouragement ll1ay be aiI'orded by Local Committees to certificated pupils to induce them to come .forward for re-examination, and thus prove that their effic.:ieney has been maintained. A notew orthy feature of rocent progress hat; beon the step,· taken for the ext ension of instruction in ,. First Aid to tho Injured" among the officers and men of the merchant navy. According to a R eturn of the Registrar-G enera] of Seamon in the Port of London, the tutal numb er of seamen in ship. l)elonging to the United Kingdom in 1 )1 Wit.' 183)000. Of this large number thore died in one year 4,4GJ. By disease there died 1,286, and by shipwreck and e(l.'nalties 3,178 . Thus the frequ oncy of accidents on board ship, and the comparatively few vessels provided with surgeons, renders this knowledge unusually valuable, and though there arc more than ordinary difficulties- such as the short timo seamen r emain in p ort--in the way, still, a m eeting at Liverpool in February last, attended by 111'. Furley, and held at the Offices of the Mercantile farine Association, after correspondence with the Board of Trade, has resulted in special arrangements for tho formation of such classes being made by the Deputy-Chairmall andActing Honorary Secretary, Col. C. B. Paris, at that centre-a, good example already followed at the Sailors' Home, London Docks, and to be extended, it is trusted, to aU the other ports. An increase

in the attenchnce at the Classes for Volunteer Life Brjgades, as at South hieIds, may here be reported with further satisfaction. The Committeo has to expross its inc1cbtedness to ~Irs . Surtees- .Alln att-a lady whose labours at Bodford, Taunton, and elsowhere have boen so inc1 fn,tigabJe and successful-for the gift of 50 till l)ox s containing "First Aid" appliances for use in 'ase of acuidents. Theso have been depositod with officials belongin g to tho Great N ol'thorn, Midland, and London and North ,Vestern Railways, and will no doubt prove extremely u. efnl Rhould the need for them unfortunately arise. Th outbreak of the Egyptian campaign, and the possibility that prolonged hostiliti s migllt render desirable an. offer of extraneous aiel, <..1ecic1ec1 the Committee to place its r esources of peTsonncl 8,11(1 77lathi-el at the disposal of tho authorities; and a clcputntion from th e Comn~ittee h ad an interview for that purpos , l,y app ointment, with the Director-General of the Army Medicnl Department ,,,ho, aftor hearing the ,iews of the mel1lbel'i-j pre 'ent, statod ill reply, that though ho could not on his OWll responsibility accept it, yet he g rat efully acknowledged the pI' po 'HI of as,'i 'tance, which he would communicate to the S cretary of Stnte for 'Val'; and that i~ exceptional circumstances arose, r ondering aid from bodies such as the Order of ~ t. John essential, ho fnIt sure the Goyernment woull be only too glad to avail it elf of such an offer, and it would be to him a pleasure as well as a duty to place on the lists for ser,iee thoso surgeons, bearers and muses recommended by the St. .T ohn Ambulanco Association, provided they w ere in all respects qualifiod. Subsequently, an official answer to a similar effect waR r eceiyed from tho 'Val' Office, and though the rapid termination of lhe campaign r endered any ns istmlce from the Order of St. John unllece.sary, yet the gratifying torms in which the proposal was acknowledgi-' c1 cannot fail to give satisfaction . At 8, Inter period, int elligence having b oon received that thero was much di.,tress and ickn eRS among tho native population of Alc..'xanc1ria, consequcnt on the burning of the city aftcr t.ho uomllardmcnt, and [1, sU 0 'gestion having been made that a few laclies holding tho ~ t. J olm Ambulance Association's certificates might be inyited to procoed to Egypt to act as

nurses and district visitors, it was resolved to issue a circ;ular to this effect to centres, and it is pleasing to be able to record that this produced a response from upwards of a thousand certificated pupils, who eagerly placed their services at the disposal of the Committee, many even offering to pay their own cxpenses. As soon as the requisite nmds were collected, a small and select staff, all the members of which had had much experience in nursing, was despatched, Mr. Herbert Sieveking, M.R.C.S., being in medical charge, the superintendence b eing accepted by a Dame Chevaliere of the Order of St. John, Viscountess Strangford, whose name was a sufficient guarantee for the thoroughness and success of such an undertaking. S~ortly after arrival at Alexandria, it was considered advisable to r emove to Call· 0 , where a Hospital was established, under the patronage of II l' :Majesty the Queen, H .ll. the Khedive, and T.R.II. the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, in which not only Natives, but many sick and w ounded English officers received r elief anJ shelter. A full history of the "Victoria IIospital," and the circumstances attending its establishment as a permanent institution, will be found in the report of the "Egyptian R elief Fund," to which Colonel Duncan, with characteristic zeal and energy, acted as Honorary Secretary,-copies of which will b e i 'sued to all the members of the Order and subscribers to the fund-and the evidence thus afforded of good service done in an entirely new direction) far remote from our own shores, affords safe a' mance that the personnel of the Association may w ell be r elied upon for aid in time of emergency, either in Peace or War. The formation of an Ambulance Corps for the transport of t he sick (non-infectious cases) and injured has arisen as the natuTal outcome of ambulance work in the metropolis. That we have no proper arrangements in LonJon for the r emoval of the infirm from one place to another, that of the few v ehicles available for the purpose many are of unsuitable construction, and t hat the cost of hiring them is beyond the mGallS of ordiuary p eople, are facts which show the need for an Ambulance Corps, and the want which such an organised body will meet. I n November last, a communication on the subject of ambulance carriages and litters, prepared by Mr. Furley, was circulated

among the leading members of the St. J ohn Ambulance Association, and, at a mGeting of the Ceutral Executive Committee, h elcl at St. J ohn's Ga,te on the 28th D ecember last, Ir. Furley and Mr. MacL ean were requested by a formal resolution, to complete an organisation for the transport of persons suffering from accident or illness. An Executive Committee, consisting of the late Maj orG eneral E . S. Burnaby, . I.P., Captain Rup ert C. F. Dallas, M1'. J ohn Fm'ley, Major James Gildea, 11'. Edmund Owen F.R.C.S., &c., &c., and .illr. R. M. MacLean, was then formed. ' So far the work carried on may be called experimental, but even with borrowed mathiel-e.g., IIorse Ambulance Carriage 0cincll y lent by Mr. Furley), litters and stretchers from the stores department, and bem·er from the Association-the Executive has ample proof that a necessity i,' met, and that, when in the pos. eSRion of a .'ufficiency of ?1wl/"iel and a staIT of its own, the work ,,~oulll become self. upporting. The charge made for the u e of the litters or carriage to all who arc able to pay is based on the follo\\ring scale : T\yo-wh eeled Litter Expen 'e., I s. per mile (. ay two miles per hOllr), or 2s. Gel. per hour. Minimum charge, 5s. If within one mile of ~t. J ohn's Gate, 2 . Gel. IIorse Ambulance ,VaggonExpenses, Is. Gel. per mile (. ay three miles per hom·), or 4s. Gd. per hour. Minimum <.;harge, lO s. Gel. In each case one Attendant only is sent. Extra Attendants Gd. p er mile 01' Is . per hour. Special donations have already b een received from the foll owing gentl men :-Captuin R. C. F . Dallas, Major James Gild ea, Mr. R. M. MacLean, and ~Ir. R. Reynolds Rowe. The Committee desires to express its sense of obligation for the use of the mathie l phwed at its service thanks to those who have contributed liberal donations, and it appeals for further funds to enable it to take over the carriage and other mate?'if1, and to conduct its work 'w ith efficiency, and generally to place upon a permanent footing an organi ation which will confer upon all, and especially upon the poor of this

great city, a benefit which is not now within their reach, and hy the saving of much suffering, truly carry out the spirit of the Order-PRO UTILITATE HOllIINUi\I. On the 30th April, Mrs. Priestley kindly convened a meetingat her house (17, Hertford Street, ~Jayfair), to discuss a proposal she had made for the estab1i hment of small ambulance stations in Hyde Park, and thus obviate the necessity of conveyinginjured persons to hospitals or their own homes in cabs 01' other l.illsuitable vehicles. Sir Spencer ,Yells presided, and Mr. A. B. Mitford, on uehalf of the Bot).,rd of ,Vorks, expressed himself in favour of the scheme, and said that every facility would be afforded by the office he represented in carrying it out. A Committee, composed of the following ladies and gent.lemen, was formed ;The Countess of Airlie, The Lady Arthur Russell, The Lady Lawrence, Lord Alfred Churchill, Lady Pollock, Lady Borthwick, ~frs. Priestley, Mr. Fletcher Moulten, Mr. Paul Hardy, Dr. Farquharson, M.P., Surgeon-General Mackinnon, Mr. George Robinson, and Mr. John Furley, and the sum of £56 5s. was subscribed for the purpose. Subsequently, it having been found that the St. John Ambulance Association alone possessed the machinery necessary for the immediate realisation of the ·wishes of the promoters l the Committee handed over the funds to this Association, with a r equest that it would act for the subscribers. ,Vithin a week ii'om that time a litter and a hamper of "First Aid" materiel wera placed at the Hyde Park Corner l odge, aHd a second litter and hamper put at the Marble Arch. A class was also opened at the Police Station in the centre of Hyde Park, under the instruction of Mr. Cantlie, F.R.C.S., of Charing Cross Hospital, and it is hoped that at the present time nearly all the Polioe Officers in the

lIyde Park district are qualified to render assistance to sick and injured persons. It is desired to draw attention to an admirable scheme proposed by L ady Brassey, to whose exertions to further the good cause in many quarters much gratitude is owing. Lady Brassey suggests that at every large town where centres are formed, the outlying districts should be constituted branches, after the manner of radii or spokes of a wheel-classes being held at each branch, and ambulance materiel, especially stretchers, and hampers containing splints, bandages, and ot!Jer appliances for "First AiJ," deposited at the POF't Office or some other central and ea 'ily ayailable position. The following will exemplify the 8ystem already pursued at one centre-Battle-the surrounding villages being the subsidiary depOts.

The advantages are concentration of all correspondence with B

head-quarters (which should pass through the centre alone), favourable opportunity afforded for the extension of the work, and great saving of expense when examiners are require 1. At some of the larger centres, as ~fidcUesbrough- on- Tees, V\Tigan, and others, a similar plan i8 pursued, with extremely good results. Lithographed copies of this" whecl" can be obtained from the Head Office, and it is hoped the system may shortly become universal in every county. Many interesting cases of good service rendered by eCl,tificated pupils have recently been reported, * and will be embodied in the next edition of the" Accident Pamphlet." To the list of foreign countries and colonies where am bulance work is spreading, the latest and most important addition is I ndia. Several detached classes had already been held at Allahabad and elsewhere, but during a r ecent visit 111'. V. Barrington Kennett made arrangements for the formation of centres in both Bombay and Calcutta, the proposal meeting the .cordial approval of Sir James Ferguson, Governor of Bombay, The Hon. A. Rivers Thompson, Lieut.-Governor of Bengal, The Bishop of Calcutta, and many of the leading members of the British and native community . A class of the native Police of Bombay has already been under instruction by Dr. Balfour, with the consent of Sir Frank Souter, the Chief Commis. ioner of P olice, and Princess Christian's translation of Dr. Esmarch's -handbook is being re-translated into ~Iaharati for their benefit. In Egypt, lectm'es on "First Aid to the Injured" have been . given by Colonel Duncan's orders to many men belonging to the Native Artillery under his command, and their proficiency, -especially in stretcher drill, has excited favourable comment at inspections by His Highness the Khedive, and Major-General Sir Evelyn Wood. Additional classes have been formed in

Canada, and in the United States, where ambulance work was introcluced under the auspices of the New York State Charities Aid Association, on the basis of information supplied from St. John's Gate, :1llc1 enthusiastic meetings have been held advocating its extension to Philadelphia and other large towns. The Committee has to report with regret that, owing to ill-health and other causes, it has lost the co -operation of several active members of the Local Staff at Districts or Centres, such as 111'. A. Harford Pearson, Chairman of No. 1 District, whose labours to aid in the establishment of the movement in Lonclon and e1. ewhere were so unl'emitting, the Rev. D. 'ickersen, Chaplain to the Forces, transfelTed from Portsmouth to Gibraltar, fr. Dimmonc1s, Guernsey, the Rev. R. C. Browne, Shoeburyness, and others. Grateful acknowledgment must again be made of the continued valuable service rendered by the 1eclical Staff, many members of which have been elected Life Members of the As ociation, in recognition of their unsparing and devoted exertions, and the be t thanks of the Committee must also be offered to the Executive Officers of centres, and above all t o the IIonorary ~ ecretaries, the value of whose assistance can ouly be truly estimated by those who have had opportunity of obserying and appreciating the care and trouble involved by the aCClU'ate performance of their duties . This l' port will be incomplete if mention be omitted of the almost censele s efforts to extend all branches of the work of the Association continued to be made by the Honorary Director of Stores, 1fr. John Furley. As heretofore, Mr. Fm'ley, when not absent on visits of inspection to existing or embryo centres, attends almost daily at St. J ohn s Gate to supervise the issue of materiel, or carry into effect plans for its improvement, and the best proof of the success of his effort. is afforded by the gratifying report of the extension of the Stores Department annexed. rendered necessary by extended Various new reO'ulations b experience and organisation have been enacted since the issue of the last report . Of these, one clause only need be referred to here-a clause introduced at th e instance of Major James B 2

'*' The following extract from the local report of the Midcllesbro' Centre may be here quoted appropriately:"As to practical demonstration of the useful work done for the benefit of sufferers through accidents at our large works, mines, &c., we have mt\ny records of lives saved, some in cases of bleeding from severed arteries, others from effects of gassing at furnaces; and in many cases fractured limbs have been temporarily se t and the patients carefully removed to our Hospitals, the staffs of which institutions have borne testimony to the benefits conferred, and the careful way in which patients ~re now brought in."

20 Gildea, Chairman and Honorary Secretary of No. I V. District (Kensington, &c.) of the :Metropolitan Centre, 'who has again paid over to the Central Fund £200 this year, making a total sum of over £GOO remitted since his acceptance of office, and who may therefore be considered entitled to speak with authority -viz., "That any Treasurer or Honorary Secretary who shall have contributed in anyone year from his centre to th Cent-.ral Executive Committee a sum amounting to £50 gross shall be entitled to have his name submitted to the Central Committee for election as a.n Honorary:Member." It is earnestly hoped that this rule may prove an incentive to the Executive Officers at the centres to relax no effort to endeavour to supplement the repayment to head-quarters of expenses by as large donations as possible, to enable the good work to be earried on and extended in poor districts. So boundless an area of usefulness lies before the Association, so numerous are the classes needing instruction, so piteous are the cries frequently received at St. John's Gate from those who are too poor to pay fcr it themselves, yet whose daily life brings them into contact with all descriptions of accident and suffering, that the Committee feels sure it need only make this appeal to rely that it will not be made in vain. The foregoing pages give but a feeble idea of the vast extension of the operations of the St. John Ambulance Association during the past twelve months. This can only be realised by those who are intimately acquainted with the daily office routine at the Central Office, or who read the r eports and newspapers r eceived at St. J obu's Gate from all parts of the world. The six years' existence of the Associat.ion has moreover condusively proved one fact, that the work of "First Aid to the Injured" has now won for itself in public estimation a reputation which cannot fail to produce such an effect as a factor in the national education as will place the undertaking on a baSIS as permanent as it is now popular. It only r emains that those who have laid the foundation stone 8hould use every effort to complete the edifice by obtaining increased personal co-operation and financial support, and thus assure enduring success for an institution so purely philanthropic and essentially practical.

HEPORT OF TIlE HONORARY DIRECTOR OF STORES. Scarc ly less in importance to the general public than the knowledge of affording 'First Ai.d·' in cases of accident or l:3ickness, disseminated by the medic:al instruction of the Associa tiOll is the ambulance 1nate1'£el which has been widely distributed by means of the tores Department. Five years ago, a syllabus having been eU'awn up by the Medical ol1l111ittee, a handbook was produced by the late Surgeon- raj or ~ hepherd. The yalue of this book, and the loss sustained by the Association ill the death of the author, have been referred to in a former report. Upwards of 50,000 copies of Shepherd" Handbook haye been issued, as well as some 8,000 copi s :of Dr. MacDowel Cosgrave's Manual on "Home Nursing and Hygiene" bcsiues special manuals on the latter . ubject by Dr. II. Crook hank, and others. It ,vas ahlO found necessary to supply the classes with ding-rams for the use of the lecturers, and with such simple articles as bandages, ,plints, &c., which were r equired for purposes of practical demonstration. From the first the advalltage of the Esmarch bu,nda,ge over all others for" First Aid)) purposes wa.s r ecognised, and although during foul' years the cla ses were supplied with ro11er as well_as triangular balldages, instruction in the former is llOW ollly given to the nursing classes, except at the discr etioll of the lecturers. The name of Professor Esmarch reminds us that we are also indebted to this distinguished surgeon for the elastic band tourniquet now used by the classes, and which is simpler and b etter adapted to their purpose than the mechanical pad and screw tourniquet, and the field tourniquet form erly employed. It is, however, still consi lel'(~ d most advifmble that unprofessional persons should,

when necessary, improvise a tourniquct rathcr than use an instrument which may be dangerous except in the hands of a surgeon. Ordinary lined splints have also been abandoned in favour of those first recommended by Professor Esmarch, a set of five interchangeable splints with sockets being adapted to the bOTeater number of serious bone fractures. From the Riel Sama'l'ite'rve'rein which, as was mentioned in last year's Report, has followed very closely on the lines of the St. John Ambulance Association, we have also adopted our large diagrams for lectUl·es. These moe superior to any at the same price to be found in England. No article issued by the Association has undergone more changes than the stretcher. At first a few were issued of the " Army" pattern, but these were too heavy and too expensive. The Oount de Beaufort, Secretary General of the Freneh Red Cross Society, then kindly sent over a stretcher of his own invention, and for some time the" Beaufort" pattern was employed. Although for several reasons the use of this stretcher was dis-continued, its -influence has more or less guided the changes which have subsequently taken place. A strong, inexpensive folding stretcher was required, in which there should be no separate or independent parts. This we have obtained after much thought and many failures; but we shall not be satisfied without fUlther progress towards perfecting an article which is of the utmost importance in the transport of the sick and injlued. To the stretcher a folding cover has been lately added; this not only tends to the comfort of a patient in the public streets, but it may be strougly recommended for military use in hot climates. vVithin the last two years the stretcher and cover have been adapted to wheels. This light vehicle, called the" Ashford" litter, is now very extensively used, and at the end of this report will be found a list of those public bodies and companies which have adopted it. By request of Sir John ,V. Reid, Bart., M.D., K.C.B., Dil.'ector-General of the Medical Department of the Royal Navy, this litter has also been adapted to the service cot. Probably there is no town in England for its size better supplied at the present time with ambulance maMJ'iel than Brighouse in Yorkshire, where, owing to the energy of Mr.

H enry Barber, the IIonorary Secretary of the local branch of theAssociation, a small corps of bearers has been organised, and in addition to four "Ashford" litters, and seven stretchers purchased of this Department, a one-horse carriage (designed by and built for Ml'. John Furley), capable of conveying foul' patients in a recumbent position, as well as attendants, has been stationed. A small and very portable h[ullper} in a waterproof ease r fitted with those simple 'First Aid" appliances, the use of which is taught in the classes, has al '0 met ,,,itll favolli', as it is well I1dapted for employment in connection "ith a stretcher or litter, or in railway or police stations, mines, factories, or other large establishmen ts. The above items will indicate one special sphere of usefulness in which the St. John Ambulance As ociation is engaged. :Much more might be said on this subject, as scarcely a day passes but the ingenuity of the Stores Department is taxed by applications for some special apparatus. For instance, only very recently an inquiry "as made aE" to the best means of bringing an injured man out of ::t pit, in which the cage used jn the shaft is only 3 feet 6 inches in length? J 0 stretcher ever invented was equal to such an emergency. For cages of small dimensions an arrangement of canvas and buukles, suspended to a bar fixed to the head of the stretcher, will now permit of the patient being placed in a sloping or perpendicular position if necessary. Severa.l distinguished surgeons have expressed their approval of the "Low:ThIoor" jacket for use under such cil:cumstances. We have said enough to prove the extensive work in which this department of the Association is engaged, and this to a great extent independently of centres and cla ses; but ,ye may add that no opportunity is neglected which may help to improve the means of hospital transport, and for many good modelsand suggestiuns we are indebted to Forejgn Aiel Societies, especially the TYiener Rettungsgesellschaft, which was inaugurated on the day after the destruction by fire of the Ring Theatre in Vienna, and which; under the personal direction of

Baron :Mundy~ has rapidly developed into one of the most important philanthropic institutions of the Austrian capital. The monetary value of the stores issued by this department during the last twelve months amounts to £3,036 17s. lId., and we cannot close this brief report without acknowledging the admirable manner in which the commercial management of this office has been organised and administered by M1'. J. II. Easterbrook, as Storekeeper. ,tV e are also indebted to Ml'. Jackson, and those who manufacture the 177 at(i1'iel, for the kindly interest they take in their work, and which has contributed so much towards the development and popularity of a, branch of usefulness which until lately had been almost entirely neglected in this country.

"Successful efforts have been made to establish 't. John ,; L'.. mbnl::tnce classe~, and there are something like 500 per. ODS being"trained in the neighbourhoods of \Yig-au and St. IIelens to render " first aid in cases of accident. This moyement will, no doubt, be the " moaus of lessening the suffering iuflicted by un skilful but friendly "hands, whilst conyeying those iujured to their homes. ,Yhen an " accident happens, there is always a natural di, Eke among officials "to make a fuss, and a wish to get the unfortunate patient to his "home as soon as possible, and by some mode of conveyance that will "attract the least attention, but \vhich is often very ill-suited to the IC purpose. In this matter of conveyance the helpless patient has often c. to undergo additional suffering to Rave the feelings of his friends and "relatives who are well and strong. It is true that to see one's 11ns" band or child brought home on a stretcher may well cause a shock, " but the person to be considered, at any rate for the time beillg, is "the patient, and no one else. The Society will do well if it succeeds "in doing away with foolish prejudice of ihis kind. A case came " under my notice very recently, where a man seriously injured, an "arm and a thigh being broken, who hau to be taken only a distance ,: of two hundred yards from the colliery to tbe cottage hospital, was " put into an ordinary spring cart instead of being carried comfortably " on a stretcher by band. The placing him in the cart, and then taking " him out at the end of the journey, together with the jolting: must " haye inflicted much unnecessary pain."

54 DETACHED MALE

(OR

FEMALE) CLASSES.

These are classes formed in the suburbs of London and in country towns and villages, pending the establi hment of regular centres. Such classes are under the immediate cOlltrcl of the Central Executive Committee, and the amount due for the cost of the same sbould be sent to the Chief Secretary (Captain IIerbert C. Perrott), St. John's Gate, CIerkemvell , London, E.C. A memorandum giTIllg a detail of the expen es will be fonnd at page 56.

COlwse of I nstnwtion.-This consists of five lectures, with an interval of a week between each. Each lecture lasts about two hours, the last half hour being devoted to practical work (bandaging, application of splints, &c., &c.). The sixth week the examination takes place. No lect/wer may examine his own

cl::lSS.

At least a clect?' week's notice, stating also pTobable nwnbet of candidates, should be given to the Chief SecTeta?'y of a convenient day, lwuT, and place (a choice of two or thTee dClYS is pTefemole) fo?' examination, to prevent di appointment in sending down an examiner. The only additional articles required for the examination are a supply of foolscap paper and pencil, or pens and ink. Certificates are awarded to the successful

The balance (if any) over the actual tot::tl cost of Detached Classes is applied to the maintenance of classes for police, firem en, miners, dock labourers, railway officials, working men and women, and others who are too poor to make any pecuniary return for the instruction received. I t is therefore earnestly hoped that where the pupils are in a po ition in life to afford it, the amount remitted undor the item "z'ncidelltal expenses " may be at least not less than UTe guineas; the demand upon the Association's limited resources caused by such gratuitous cla se being very great. The Committee also trust that as many pupils as po ible will become" Life" or " Annual" Members, and thus materially aid by their subscriptions in extending this philanthropic work.

candidates. Secretaries of Detached Classes are recommended to ascertain during the course the full Christian names of the pupils, as they will probably save themselves thereby much trouble ~nd correspondence when the extract from the examiner's report is forwarded for verification

From twenty-fi'i;e to thirty is the best number for a clas. . It is not desirable to have more than thirty, or the instructor cannot devote sufficient time to each pupil. In the case of a female class a small boy should be hi7'ed fOT demonstration of bandaging.

SEeo D CouRsE.-Lectures on "IIome Nursing and IIygiene" can be arranged in a similar manner for women who ha"\e gone through the first courso. It is usual, however, that the entrance fee should never be less 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 Certificate can enter for the examination for the Second Course, for which '1;ellum certificates are

The usual way to form a Detached Class is for the lady or O'entleman undertaki,n g to do so, to collect from twenty-five to thirty nan~s, charge each pU~ll an entrance fee sufficient in amount to cover the expenses, and remIt cheque, &c., to the Chief Secretary, who will detail a lecturer and in due course an examiner, and arrange for supply of 11Iate1'z'el. ' If it is required to send a lecturer an exceptional distance from town (as for in. tance had to be done in the case of Lincoln), an e:rtm fee of t wo or three guineas would probably have to be paid him .

A local medical practitioner (duly qualified) may lecture, provided he adheres to the authorised official syllabus of the Association. Female lecturers are not allowed. Detached classes usually meet, in the case of women, in some lady's drawing-room ; in the case of men in a parish schoolroom, institution, or similar building.

The Order was first planted in England in the year 1100, ancl rai cd th::! noble stmcture whieh once formed the Priory of Olerkenwell, of whieh the gateway no" alone remains to aUest the importance of the chief house of lhe Order in England.

RAIL "'iYAY OENTRES.

The Order held high place in this country until the year 1510, wben it was despoiled, suppressed, and its property eonGscated by Art of Parlia,ment. I n 1557 it was re tored by Royal Charter, and much of its po sessions Te-granted; but only to be again eonuseale(l wilhin tbe subsequent two years by a second statute whieh did not, ho\'\'e,e1', enact the re-suppression of tbe fl'aternity. Still, with the loss of posse ions, and the withdl'l1wal of most of its members to Malta-then the so,e1'eigu scat of the Order--iL became practically dormant in England.

l\1a,ny flucLuations ha,e marked the fortunes of an in Litution which played <l prominent part in mo t of the grcat event of Europe, until its supreme clisastcl' in tho 10 s of Malta, in 1798; after which the surviving di vi ion of the Order had each to perpetuate an independent existence, :md to mark out the comse of its own futurc. It is now upwards of hali a. century ago that a majority of firo of the seven then existinO' remnants of the institution decreed the revival of the tirne-honoured branch 0 of the Order in England; since which evcnL it has, so far as means permitted, pmsued, in spirit, the original purposes of its fOtmc1ation-thc alleviation of lhe sick and suffering of the human rnee.

The following are some of the objeets whieh have cngagcd lbe attention of tbe Order : Providing convalcscent patients of hospitals (without distinction of erecd) with such nourishing dieLs as are medically ordered, so as to aid their return, at thc earliest, possible time, to the business of life and the support of Lhcir families. The (original) institution in England of what is now known u.s the" N atioual Society for .Aid Lo Sick and Wounded in War."

124 The founcbtion and ma.:intenance of Cottage IIospitals and Convalescent IIomes. Providing the mel1ns and opportunities for local training of nurses for the sick poor; and the foundation of what is now known as the Metropolitan and National Society for training and supplying such nUl'ses. 'The promotion of a more intimate acquaintance with the wants of tho poor in time of sickness. The establishment of ambulance litters, for the conveyance of sick and injured persons in the colliery and mining districts, and in all large rl1ilway and othcr public departments I1nd towns, as a means of preventing much aggravation of human su:ffering. The award of siher and bronze medals, I1nd certificates of honour, for special services on land in the, cause of humanity. The initiation and orgl1lusation, during the recent Tureo-Servian'Var, of Lhe "Eastern War Sick and Wounded Relief Fund." The cc British Hospice and Oph tbalmic Dispcnsary at J eru!"alcm " estn blishcd in the Holy CiLy under the managemcnt of the Chapter fo1' Lhc allevil1tioll of the terrible sufferings caused by diseases of the eye and ignorance of its treatment. The institution of the cc St. John Ambulance Association" for instruction in the preliminary treatment of the Injured in Peace and Wounded in 'Val'. Although started litLIe more th::m six years since, this latter movement has already attained very great success, and upwards of 150 L ocl11 Centres 11a,c already been formed in important towns and districts in all parts of the kingdom, many others being in course of formation. Among the more notable ela se arc those f0r the instruction of the Metropolitan and Cit,y Poliee; COlmly Constabulary; "Metropolitan and Pro,incial Fire Brigades; Roya'! N ava,] ArLillery Y olunLecrs; the War Offi~e; Admiralty; Somerset Rouse; and other Governm ent Departmen ts; The Customs IIouse; East and West India Docks; Surrey Commrrcial Docks; Victoria Docks; Mercantile ~farine, and numerous public and pl'imLe in::;titutiol1s. Detached Olasses ha,e also been beld, pending Lhe formation of Centres, at numerous other places. The work has also extended to Ind ia , Australia, and Fran3e. In Fl'I1l1ce (the Riviera) many successful cIa ses of both sexes have been held uuder the immediate supet'vision of the Central Executi"e Committee. In Russia the llandhook of the Association has been translated into the native langnage, and there, as well as in Germany and the United Stl1tes, wOI'k, on the lines laid down by the St. John Ambulance Association, has been acLiYely ancl sucecs fully commenced. A specially inter esting episode has been the establishment of Centres at Malta, so long the princi pul stronghold of the Order of St. J ol1n, and at Gibraltur. Amongst many important Public Meeti ngs held iu connecLion with this branch of the Order, the following deserve spccial mcntion, not only on account of the additional irnpptus thereby given to the work, but a1. 0, as indicating, in an unmistakeablc manner, the growing inLerest ta.ken by all classes in iis development. On the 15th Februar.v, 1881, a most enthusiaslic Meeting, num erously atLen(1eu, was held at the Mansion IIouse, by the kind p ermi ssion and undrr 1.be prcsidency of the Lord Mayor, chiefly with a view of extending the work more fully in the City and Port of London; and on the 19th of ...1pril IT.R.II . the Princess :M:ary of

125 Cambridge, Duchess of Teck, prescnted Certificates to successful pupils [principall.r 1l1ches and policemen] at thc Town IIan, Ken~ington, in the presence of a large and distinguish ed audience; while a third Meeting, undfr the pre~idency of the Lorc1 Mayor, was held tlt the Guildhall on the 30th June last, 'when II.R.IT. the Duke of Connanrrht, in the presence of many leading members of the Order and a ~rge aL1c1ienc~, pre 'euted Oertificates to the IJupils of the Oity District of the l\fetropoli' an Centre. It is only neceSSl1l'Y to add, us a further proof of the importance of the move:nent, that IIer Majesty the Queen ,vas recenLIy graciously ple~sec1 to ma~e a. donat~on of £25 to the hetbnd Islands Centre, of which II.R.II. Pnncess Beatnce :s Presldent, while several members of the Royal Family :- T.R.H. the Duke of Edmburgh, the Duke of Connaught, the Duke of Albany, II.S.H. the Duke of Teck, and H.S.H . Prince Edward of • axe-Weimar-hold the offices of Presidents, or Patrons, of Country Centres. Princess Ohristian, who has obtained certificates afler passing the prescribed EXCLminations, bas lalely translated. a work fl:om the German by Professor Esmal'ch, on "First Aid to Lhe Injured," eoples of wh~ch may be purch:l~ed at St. John's Gu,te. lier Royal IIighness has also several times presentcd ecrtlfieates at IVfeetinO's at tbe ,Yjndsor Oontre .

The ~rdel' of St. J olm has no connection whatever with any of tho numerous associutions or fraternities now exi ting for benevolent or oLher purposes, w~e~hel' similar or not in name; nor is it allied with any sect or party of anyone religIOUS bu' l'S tllorou 0rrhly universal-embracing among .its. members and . t'IOn," denomlna o.ssociutes those who, in the spirit of our Divine Masler, are Wllhng t~ devote a portion of their time or their means to the help of tbe suffering and the sICk.

One of the Deputy-Chairmen will be, under ordinary circumstances, Director of the Ambulance Department of the Order of St. John of J ern salem in England. The Central Executive Committee and the Executive Officers are appointed by the Chapter of the Order of St. J olm of Jerusalem in England.

5 Members and Honorary Associates of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem are alone qualified to become members of the Central Executive Committee, or to act as Executive Officers. ~ T 0 l\Iember or Associate other than an Executive Officer can be elected a member of the Central Executive Committee who is in receipt of any emoluments whatever from the St. J ohn Ambulance Association.

The Medical Committee consists of the medical members of the Central Executive Committee, and of the Chairmen and Secretaries of the Ambulance Committees of the various L ondon Hospitals in communication with the Central Executive Committee. The Central Executive Committee meets on the last Friday in the month (except in August). Five members const.itute a quorum.

Centres and Districts. The Goyerning body of a Centre or District is a Local Committee in subordination to, and under the control of, the Central Executi\'e Oommittee.

is duly forward ed, at the proper time, to the head office. The Trea, surer can depute the performance of a portion of his duties to the H onorary Secretary at his discretion. The Honorary Secretary keeps the minutes of Committee J\:feetings, conducts the ordinary correspondence of the Centre, collects the names of pupils, and arranges details as to the classes for instruction, subject to the approval of the Chairman and L ocal He (or someone else whom he may appoint) is Oommittee. rccluirccl to keep a register of the attendance of pupils, showing C01'rect names (Christian and Surname), addresses and dates of attendance at the lectures and examination. It is essential that this register should be accurately kept, as on it depend. the compilation of tho returns for"Tarclod to the Chief Office for the Annual Report. The Honorary Secretary will communicate with the Director of Stores with respect to the materiel rccluired for the usc of the classes, all\l will make application to the Chief Secretary-(to whom also b 'neral corre 'ponupnce ~holll(l be a,lc.1ressec1)-whenever Examiners are rl'(luir (1. It i· desira 1Jlo to give ten days' clear notice, and the application shoulu state con yenient clay (or days) hour, place of xumiuation, sex, and probable number of can(lidates. The Honorary, ecretary willmakc periodical report of tho progress of the work at the Uentre to the Chief Secretary, for the information of the Central Executive Committee. 1

The Executive Officers of a Centre or District, are the Chairman, the D eputy-Chairman, the Treasurer, and Honorary Secretary. A r esident Nobleman or Gentleman of influence should be appointed President of the Centre. The Office of President and also of Chairman, should be h eld, if possible, by Members ~f the Order of St. John of J erusalem. The Chairman, and in his absence the D eputy-Chairm an, is responsible to the Central Executive Committee for the working of the Centre or District. The Treasurer is responsible to the Local Committee that proper m easures are taken for the collection of funds to d efray the necessary expenses, and will give r eceipts for all subscriptions received, out of books supplied for that purpose from St. John's Gate. He will also regulate the local expenditure at the Centre and as far as lies in his power, prevent extravagance. He "will also' take' care that the annual balance-sheet referred to under the heading FINANCR II (C

Any Treasurer or Honorary Secreta.ry who has contrihuted, in (/ny 011(' year, from lli. Centre to the CClltral Executive COlllmittee a sum amounting to Fifty Pounds [lI'OS8, is entitled to haye hi name submitted to the Central Committee for election as an Honorary Mem bcr. No person can form or hold a class under the nuspices of the Asso ciation, anll no meuical gentleman can 1'c-examine a pupil of the Association, without the sanction and authority of the Chairman or Hononuy • 'ecretary of the Di trict in 'which it is proposed to hold such class or re-examine such pupil.

The collection of local funds may be classed under three heads(a) Donations / (b) Anmtal Subscriptions / (c) the fixing of an Entrance Fee, or charge for ailinission to the Lectures. If the list of donors and annual subscribers be sufficiently lengthy, no better means can be devised. If, however, various circumstanccs, such as numerous uther local claims upon the residents, prevent this being the case, the charging of an entrance fee of more or less amount becomes a necessity. Nevertheless, the guiding princille which has actuated the founders of the movement must not he overlooked-namely, that the instruction afforded should bo equally available to rich and poor alike, without distinction of class or creed. To carry this axiom into effect, the plan generally adopted has been to compel those who can afford to pay to contribute-iJ~ modemiionfor those who cannot. Thus, e.g., the amount received from two classes, admission to which is by entrance fee, should be sufilcient to defray the cost of a free class for working people. Th se last, it is well known, frequently attach, however humble may Le their position, far greater value to a benefit to obtain which they have had to make some slight sD,crifice, pecuniary or otherwise j and it may be desirable sometimes to make a charge of a few penco even to these. The whole subject, however, of the fixing or tota] remission of entrance fees is a matter for the consitleration of tho Local Committee, which will be guided in its decision by its knowledge of local circumstances. The names of Life and Annual Members attach(;u to a Centre or District are printed in the Appendix to the Annual Report,

Course of Instruction. This consists of five lectures, each gf about an hour-and-a-half's duration. The last half hour is devoted to practical work, such as bandaging, restoration of the apparently-drowned and otherwise asphyxiated, methods of arresting bleeding, lifting the injured, carrying on stretohers, &c. There is an interval of a week between each lecture. Mixed classes of males and females are on no account permitted.

From twenty-five to thirty is the best number for each class. If this numher of pupils be exceeded the lecturer cannot devote sufficient attontion to the practical iliBtruction of each individual in the limited time at his disl)osal. The authorised Syllabus of the Association, copies of which can he oLtained from the Chief Secretary, must be uniformly adhered to hy lecturers. The Syllabus of in trnction is of two kind::;: (a) The Preliminary or First Course. (b) The Second or Advanced Course, entitled " Lectures on Home Nursing and Hygiene." The ~ 'cconu Course is for women only. Pupils attending it should have passed through the First Course, and in 110 case may a pupil 'nter for examination in the Second Course unless she has proviollsly obtaiIll~d the 'P reliminary Course certificate. III neither the First nor tbe Second Course maya pupil enter for the Examination unless he (or she) has attendetl at least four out of the live lectures.

The "Materiel" rerLuirf'(l for the use of the Clas~es Clm be pUl'cha r.<1 from the Directur of ~tores at the chcape. t posi:iilJle rates. Certain of 1,11e articles supp1i('(l,-SllCh as the stretcher, physiological charts, and sl'lints,-arc ClyailaLlc for the usc of an unlimited number of classes. The recognis'<1 to. -t book of the Association for the Preliminarv Course is the llandbook compiled for the use of the pnpils, ani pre. ented to the On1e1' of. t. John hy onc of its Honorary Associates, the late Surgeon l\Iajor P. 'hep11erd, A.1I.D. (Killoll at Isamlllb.) An authol'i cd Manual for the . . Tursing Course can also be oLtain .J from tho Stores Department. '-tVomen's c1n.sses usually meet in some lady's house j men's in parish school-room, public IwJl, instiLution, or similar bnilding.

Lecturers. All lecturers must he duly qualified medical practitioners. Local Committees are responsible to the 'entral 10mmittee that the gentlemen requested to ulllloliake the duty (whose llames must be duly reportetl) possess the lleCCSS[l.ry professional qnalifications. At the Association's Centres-with very fow exc ptions-the oiEce of lecturer is acc ptcd by local doctors entirely 'without feo or pecuniary reward. It is most desirable that this should invm'iably

10 be the case, as great expense is thereby spared the Centre, and additional opportunity afforded for the formation of classes, either gratuitous, or at a reduced entrance fee, for artiza.ns and working people. Lecturers may not examine their own classes. Any member of the Medical Staff of a Centre who has lectured gratuitously to not less than two cbssos is entitled to become an Honorary Member of the St. John Ambulance Association, without payment of the subscription requisite in other cases. Local Secretaries will forward the names of such lecturers to the Chief Secretary, who will submit them to the Central Executive Committee for election.

Examiners. The Examiners n.re appointed by the Central Executive Committee on the recommendation of the Medical Committee. All applicn.tions for Examiners are to be addressed to the Chief Secretary. Treasurers, or Honorary Secretaries, are on no account permitted to pay Examiners their fees or travellillg expenses. Reports on examinations are sent direct by Examiners to the Chief Secretary, who fonyards copies or extracts at his discretion to Honorary Secretaries for the information of Local Committees.

Examination. The Examination, which usually takes place the si.."'{th week, may be written, or oral, or both combined-usually the latter. Foolscap paper, and pens and ink (or pencils) should therefore be provided, as well as the matdriel (except diagrams, books, and illustrated bandages) used during instruction. Each candidate will bo required to satisfy the Examiner as to competency in both the theoretical and practical portions of the Syllabus.

Certificates. The Fmccessful candidates are awarded, by the Central Executive Committee-without charge-card certificates for the First Course and vellum for the Second. Small portable duplicates for the pocket can be purchased by certificated pupils for a trifling sum. All certificates are filled in, stamped, and issued (signed by the Examiner) from the Head Office at St. J olm's Gate. J 0 certificates are recognised which do not bear the official stamp of the Association. Arrangements should be made, if possible, for the public presontation of certificates,-at any rate in the case of malo classes.

Re-examination of Pupils.

Certificated Pupils, who have tlcice undergone re-examination in acconlalJce with the terms of the Resolution passed on July 25Lh, 1879, with an illterval of not less than tlcelve months betu;een each examination, will be exempt from any further examinations, and ,rill be eli,yible to receive a IedaJlion, to be carried in the pocket,. or b worn as a 1rooch, or on the watch chain, blit nevet as a clecoratwn, and to be used when ncces ary as a. certificate of competency to render first aid to the injured. Thus a pupil who has obtained a c rtificate prior to July 1 t, 1879, and has been re-examined during July, 1 - 0, a.nd a.gain in July, 1881, or la.ter, will be eligible for such medallion, of course provided he or she hn.s, in ea.ch instance, .,a.tis6. d the Exa.miner. The duration of interval since previous examination (or re-exa.mination) is immaterial, provided it be not loss than twelve months. 'Llch re-examinations may be maue by allY 1 mber of a Local :l\Iedical taff, and will only extend to a few practical questions, the answers to which may prove that the knowl Jae once acquired has not been forgotten. b ,,\VOME who have passed tho second course examination will be allowed to count this as a ?'e-exaJll inlttiun if the required interval of twelve months since the provious examination (or re-examination) has been compliod with. Bronze Medallions with names and Registered No. engraved on ba.ck, ,yill be presented Gratis to those Pupils who become entitled. to them undor the foregoing conditions. At o:ory ro-examination, howover, Candidatos will bfl l' quired to pay the Local Secretaries a Fcc of One Shilling each person, and no Bronzo Medallions will be issued from St. J olm's Gate unless the application for tho same (on the specified form) he accompa.nied by a romittanco for the above mentionod Fees, ~.e., of the aggregate amount of Two Shillings.

APPENDIX A. BRANOHES, OR SEOTIONS, OF OE~TRES, A Centre should, as far as possible, embrace all small towns and villages within a certain area to be defined by the Committee of such Centre, All ,York within this circle should be under the direction and control of the Oommittee of the Centre. ,Vh n once the area of a Centre has been defined it can only be enlarged by permission of the Oentral Executive Committee in London, .'uch towns or villages within the circle should be termed "Sections," but there should be only one "Section" in each town or village. Each Section should have a Sub-Oommittee of not less than three 11emhers, one of whom as Ohairman, and Olle as Treasurer and II oHorary ~'ecrctary shoulLl be ex officio Members of the General COllllllittee of the Centre. Th names of MemlJers anLl Executiye Officers of Section SubCommitt es will be reported to the General Committee of tbe Oentre for approyal, The Presillent of the Centre will be, ex officio, President of each Section. A Section sh<111 not incur an expenditure which cannot be met by its o,vn fum1.·, unless the sanction of the Committee of the Oentre shall have been previously obtained. The finances of the Sections will be under the control and management of the Treasurer of the Oentre, to whom periodical report will be made by the Section Treasurer. The latter will annually forward the former a certified statemcn t of receipts and expenditure shortly before the termination of the financial year (June 15). All applications for Examiners and requisitions for" materiel" will be addressed by Section Secretaries to the Honorary Secretary of the Oentre, who will forward the same to the Chief Secretary or Honorary Director of Stores as the case may be. A a general rule

15 the Secretary of the Centre will be the medium for all official correspondence with the Central Offices in London. A ny differences of opinion at Sections will be referred to the General Committee of the Centre for arbitration. In these and all other respects Sections hold the same relations to Centres, as Centres hold to the Central Executive Committee in London, and the rules and regulations of the Association aro, subject to the foregoing qualifications, thereunto equally binding.

FOREIGN OENTRES AND OLASSES. Olasses may be formed in foreign countries in the same manner as in England. At Oontinental Towns having an English Oolony such as Brussels, Boulogne-sur-Mer, and Florence, "Detached" Olasses may be held on the conditions stipulated in Oircular 49, or "Oentres" may be formed, as in the Riviera, Malta and Gibraltar. In English possessions and Oolonies, such as Oanada, India, and Australia, " Oentres " may similarly be established provided the regulations enacted in the Pamphlet, No. 57, be adhered to. In the above-named cases the office of Examiner may be held by local .l\fedical men whose appointment must, however, be submitted to the Oentral Executive Oommittee for confirmation.

HIS O~'cler ''laS founded about the year 1092, for the maintenance of ltn . . hospItal. a~ Jerusalem; and, subsequently, the defenee of Christian pilgr.llns on .the~r Jo.urneys to and from the IIoly Land. It afterwards became a kmghtly ll:s~tutI~n ; but ever preserved its hospitals, and cherished the duty of aileVIat111g sIckness anu suffering.

The Order was fi~st planted in England in the year 1100, and raised the noble structure whIch o~ce formed the .rriory of Clerkenwe11, of which the gateway now alone remams to attest the Importance of the chief house of the Order 111 England. Th~ Order h eld high pla~e in this country until the year 1540, when it was despo~led, suppressed, and Its property confiscated by Act of Parliament. In 1557 It was restor~d by Royal Charter, amI much of its possessions re-rrranted' but only t~ be a~a111 confiscated within the subsequent two years by ~ sccond s,t~tute ~hICh dId not, howe.ver, enact the .re-suppression of the [mtemity. Still, mth the loss of possessI~ns, and the wlthdrawal of most of its JUcmhers to JHalt~ - then the soverClgn seat of the Oruer - it became practically dormant 111 England.

lIan:f finctuatio.ns have marked the fortunes of an institution wllich played a .promll~ ent part 111 11.10St of ~he freat events ?f Europe, .until its supremo dlSaster 111 the loss of 1\1alta, 111 1/98 ; after whICh the surVIving divisions of the Order ha~ each to perpetuate an inclependent existence, and to mark out the course of Its own future.

It is J?-0:' upwards of half-a-century ago that a majority of five of the seven then eXlstillg remnants of the institution decreecl the revival of the timehonolU'ed br!lllch of the Or~er in. England; since which event it has, so far as means p~r~Itted, purs~led, 111 spIrit, the orif,rin'll purposes of its foundationthe alleVIatIOn of the SICk and suffering of the human race. The following are some of the objects which have enO'aaed the attention of the Order:-00 . Provicl:ing co~v~lesce~t patients of hospitals (without distinction of creed) mth such .nounshI~g ch~ts as are medically ordered, so as to aid their retul'll at t~~ earliest possIble tIme, to the business of life and the SUI)IJOlt of 'h'" famIlIes.

On the Oarriage oj Sick and Injured Pe'tsons. By JOHN FURLEY, Deputy Chairman and Honorary Director of Stores, St. John Ambulance Association.

N selecting a title for this paper I should have preferred 'Ambulance Work in Time of Peace;' but as unfortunately the word' ambulance' has been often misapplied, and by many people is still thought to be an exclusively military term, I have chosen a heading about which no such mi conception can arise. I must, however, premise that I intend to use the word , ambulance' freely; there is no reason why, because it is con tantly and erroneously applied to everything connected with ho pitals and hospital material, whether moveable or stationary, on legs or on wheels, we should be debarred from employing it as a most useful adjective to qualify means of transport in time of peace as well as in war. Previously to the Franco-German war in 1870-71, the ca,r riage of sick and injured persons was a subject which, in this country at least, was almost entirely left to military surgeons and their subordinates. It is true that in 8Gllie towns invalid carriages were to be found, but these were eith l' costly luxuries or wretched specimens of parochial parsllllony. Stretchers of the most primitive con truction were kept at police stations, but these were intended ra,ther for the use of inebriated persons than for the victlins of accident or disease. The Franco-German war, in a great measure trn.'ough the intervention of the British National Aid Society, opened OUT eyes to the fact that in such matters we were lamentably behind the rest of Eluope. Red Cros agents returned home from the seat of war with the conviction that ambulance work should not be confined to armies, but that there was a great field always open for it in time of peace, and thaJt mutual co-operation between the civil and military elements mnst tend to the advantage of both. L

2 Durino,the Red Cross Conference at Berlin in 1862, at the Inte;national Exhibition a~ Vienna in 1873,. at the Hygienic Exhibition at Bruss~ls In 1876,. at Ge~eva In 1882, and more than once at meetIngs held In PaI:Is ~~er. the auspices of the So?iete de Secours aux blesses Mll~ta~es, this feeling met WIth encourageJ?ent, and muc~ plactI?,'1,l advantao'e was derivert. from the trIals anu compansons whlCh were m~de of the means of hospital transport exhi,tited by inventors of various nationalities. At the same tIme, the relations just referred to were still f~rther strengt~~ned. Civilians learnt to appreciate the reqmrements of nulitary surgeons, whilst the latter foun,d that there was much knowledo'e to be gained from watching' the efforts of the former, wh~se essays and experiments were not tra~melled by those considerations of routine and finance WhICh more or less hamper individual energy in all departments of. State. . . Ambulance work in this cOlmtry was, and rndeed IS stIll, far from possessiuO'that degree of popularity which it enjoys on the Continent. b The reason for this lies in the f~ct that an intimate acquaintance with it has been developeu rn some states of Europe as well as in America by the act~1al presence of war, a sad experience, for the absence of which we may be grateful. Within the last few years, however, the St. Jolrn Ambulance Association has been established, and the rapidity with which it has taken root is a proof that although we have been spared the horrors of invasio~, and have, not b en called upon to turn every other house mto an hospItal for the exigencies of war, E~gli~h men an~ w,omen are as. reac1y ~s they ever were to aSSIst m the alleVIatIOn of sufferrng wherever they may find it. It is not my purpose to describe the work of the. S~. John Ambulance Association; but in tracing out how It IS that Eno-land has in one stride placed herself in front of all other nations in this field of practical philanthropy, it would be quite impossible to ignore the existence of a soc~ety whose pupils are now nUD?-bere~ b:f thousands, a:nd whlCh, by the introduction and dlssemrnatIOn of the SImplest and best means of removing the sick and wounded, has done so mu.ch to mitigate physical pain arising from the accidents of lIally life. As has often happened before in other fields of use~ul ness we were the last to take a forward step; but havmg Jon~ so our progress was rapid. There could ~ave been no more complimentary acknowledgment of thIS than the

3 manner in which the example furnished by England has been followed in other countries, and especially by the practical people of Germany. The St. John Ambulance ~ss~ciation must n?~ let itself be passed in the race by its dISCIple, the Samanterve'rein. An account of the way in which instruction is given in the best means of rendering first aid to sick and injured per.sons in the absence of a doctor, and the good effects wInch have already resulted from it, would exceed the limits of time allowed me. I shaJl, therefore, confine myself to a few general remarks on one or two of the improvised and mechanical contrivances for the transport of invalids, with the use of which a large portion of the British public is becoming gradually fa,miliarised. Not so very long ago there were two modes of removin g injured persons: if the distance were ahort, and police stretchers were not at hand, a shutter or a hurdle was usuaJly emIl yed; a,nd for a longer journey a street cab or fly WeL consilIerecl the best conveyance, without reference to the actual stu,te of the patient. In truth, in nine cases out of ten, the form er metbocl was in the highest degree eivilisecl wh n compl:Lred with the htter; and, unfortunately, the barbarous method of putting per ous suffering from fractured bones or internal injuries into cabs still prevails to a degree which is surprising to those who know how a patient' I:)tate may be aggravated by such treatment. There are now several thousands of men and women who know that for such cases a costermonger's barrow is a better vehicle than a cab, and that even a springless cart can, without the xertion of much ingenuity, be promptly converted into a comparutiv ly comfortable ambulance carriage. Men are taught to improvise stretchers with materials which are generally at hand, or which can be readily procured. Great attention has also been directed to the improvement of mechanical stretchers; and the need for this can only be estimated by those who have studied the endless variety of circulllstances to which a stretcher must be adapted. The pattern ul:)ually employed in ho pitals is the most perfect for the particular purpo e for which it is needed, namely, for the conveyance of a pa,tient to a bed, or from this to an openLting table a,nd back, as it has removable poles and no leg. But feet of some kind are absolutely necess(l,ry for stretchers which have to be put down on roub'h or wet ground, or on the bottom of a cart. Another important point in a stretcher to be used. for peace purposes is that, although it

4 must be made to fold up, so as to be more easily carried in crowded streets on a man's shoulder, there must be no separate or independeht parts, as it may sometimes have to be used by those who would not understand how to put it together, and when requi.red, one or more of its parts might be missing. Plain stretchers with pol s about eight feet in length are best adapted for use in streets; but if they have to be put into wagons, or employed in mines, it will in most cases be necessary to have telescopic handles. It may even be important to have articulated stretchers, or even stretchers that can be put into an almost perpendicular position without danger, for it sometimes happens that a badly injured man has to be drawn through a narrow shaft to which no other means can be adapted. In fact, the more the snbject is discussed, the greater will be the latitude which must be admitted in the construction of these useful articles; and yet it is of the highest importance that the changes which may be admitted as indispensable should depart as little as possible from one recognised type. The stretcher employed by the St. John Ambulance Association has also been adapted to wheels; and this, for many obvious reasons, is a great advantage where a patient has to be conveyed for any di.stance over a fairly good road. This vehicle is now much used, not only in England, but in many parts of the Continent and in the colonies. Time will not allow me to do more than indicate some of the progressive steps which have lately been taken in the improvement and development of ambulance vehicles, and therefore I can only briefly refer to the subject of horse ambulance carriages, which is in my humble opinion quite subordinate to the more important one of stretchers. When once these more simple vehicles are understood, there is scarcely a four-wheeled vehicle used on road or rail that cannot be easily transformed into a good ambulance carriage. There is, however, an increasing dellland for special horse ambulance carriages, pa,r ticularly in country districts where frequently injured persons have to be moved long distances. At the different international conferences to which I have already referred, certain conclusions were formed as to the manner in which stretehers should be placed in wheeled vehicles; and, as a general rule, it seems to be admitted that in a railway coach a stretcher should be fixed, and made as far as possible a part of the carriage itself. And with regard to horse ambulance carriages, from considerable experience and frequent trials I venture to think that if

5 the undercarriage be provided with good springs, and the bed of the stretcher be made of elastic material, it is better that the lat.ter shoul.d ~e as much £xed and made a part of a road carnage as It IS thought advisable it should be in the case of a rail way carriage. Quite recently the necessity for improved means of transport for invalids has been recocrnised in more than one important industrial centre, and t;o or three carriages of more or less .excellence h~:e been submitted for the approval of. local salllta,ry a~thorltIes; but so much ignorance prevails as to the reqmrements of such vehicles that I feel sure no satiRf<Lctory progress will be made in this direction until the .metropolis pos sses a museum of civil and military ho pItal and ambulance material, where the best full-sized models of Briti h and foreign invention can be seen and compared. Drawings and miniature models are useless, as only trial can prove the superiority of one over another. I must think it is wrong that any deception should be attempted ill order to conceal the use of a carriage employed for hospital plll~poses. This can only be done by lessening the advantag s It ought to combine, or in addiug greatly to the cost by producing a bad imitation of a private barouche or omnibus. Some. m~mbers of sanitary committees insist that light and ventIlatIOn hould be obtained only through the roof of t~e vehicle, and the consequence is that patients are occasIOn~~y shockeu. by being put into something which has a SUSplCIOU re ll1blance to a hearse. All such mistakes should be avoided. An ambulance carriage should be simple in construction, plain in its fitting's, and of inoffensive exterior; anel even if it should proclaim itself to be what it is, it is only likely to be treated with more respect, and to gain additional facilities for arriving at its destination. Is there any objection to the army ambuln-nce wagons as such, m~l'ked with the Red Cross, which are frequently to be seen In the streets and at railway sta,tions? There are one or two other points which should be noticed. A horse ambulance carriage should be constructed so that it may be used not only on level paved or mal"", adamised roads, but also on rough ground, or where there may be many small ob tacles and perhap deep ruts-a brick£. lel or railway works, for in tallce; and it is an absolute essential that it should be made to turn in its own length. I ha.ve mentioned these points beca,use they constitute

the principal difficulties to be met with in designing these carriages. I have alrecLdy referred to the manner in which the pupils of the St. John Ambulance Association are trained. Let me add, it is a fallacy to suppose that the first comer without any previous instruction is capable of properly using ambulance stretchers, litters, and carriages. The persons in charge of such vehicles not only require training, but experience; and I trust the day is not far distant wh n such personnel as well as materiel will be found in every town and village throughout the kingdom. At the present time the carriage of invalids from one part of the country to a,nother is possible for those who have well-filled purses, but not for people of small means. An organisation which will place well-trained bearers at the disposal of all, whether rich or POOl', combined with the general introd uction of convenient litters and horse ambulance carriages, and increased facilities on the part of railway comp<"1nies, will place every person suffering from disease or accident on an equaJ footin o' as far as comfort is concerned, even if it be not so as l'eganls luxury.
