The following Members and Associates of the Order havo deceased during the past y ear:-VISCOUNTE 'S STRAN'GFORD, T. FARLEY LEITH, Q.C. (Knight of Justice), JA '. DYSONPERRIX (Donat.). Th e Ord er of St. John and the cause of philanthropy generally, have sustained a great loss by the d ath of VISCOUXTRSS STRANGFORD, which took place in March In ' t whilst on her voyage to Port aid for the purpose of orgall.izing and opening the ew E o pital for British "('amon ·w hlch bas b een erected there by subscriptioll, and in th e promotion of which she took a most active intere t. Since h er admission to the Order in 1 73th re i. hardly a single Hospitall er object of importallc e, whether in connect.ion with the Order, or otherwise, to ·which Lady trangford had not devoted her experience and her energy, making her. elf the very ueau ideal of a Dame CheT"alierc.

established a bond of sympathy with Bulgaria which will never be forgotten. In 1877, LADY STRANGFORD formed a fund for t.he r elief of the Turkish sick and wounded in the Turco-Russian war. In order to save the wounded from the delay and sufiering of removal, she went with her staff of nurses to the front, and there opened and maintained her h ospitals. It was in the cour '0 of thi war that LADY TRA:rGFORD wa~ taken prisoner by the Russians, and underwent hardships from which she never fully recoverec1. In lr 2 she went, by request of the St. J ohn Ambulance Association, to Cairo, and estabE hed and opened the Victoria H ospital for t.he reception and relief of the sick and wo Llnded. This Hospital was warmly a1 proved of by the Duke of Connaught) Lord ,Yale ley ana L ord Dufferin, and in it were received and nurscd ll1n.ny En o 'li,'h ufficcrs [mel, olc1icrs, who o'Ye th ir lives to the t end '1' care and, 'kilful nul' ill~ there obtained. lIcr Majesty t c)()k a deep interest in this Hospital, and, on LADY STR.\.XGl1'ORD'S return, confelTcd upon her th0 clil:!tinction of the Red Cro ... ) then recently in 'tituted. H cr In.. t effort-the visit to P ort Said-undertaken in order to fulfil a promi e, and to preyent di appointment, proved fu.tal to her.

She took a deep inter est in Hospital T l1rsing, and 'went through a course of training in one of the principal L ondon Hospitals in order to obtain a practical knowledgc of the subject. She greatly aided a Committee of the Order in thr:ir successful efforrs to draw public attention to the want of bctter nurses for the working classes at their o\vn h omes, and the establishment of the National Associution f(~r provi ding nUl'F;eR for the sick poor was the result.

For some weeks pa. t her h ealth had been cl'iously affected by OV(;r w ork, but she did not hesitate to leave h er home, trust,i11g that the change and 8ea air might recruit h er. he W tlS seize d with cerebral apopl xy during the voyage, and thus closed a life in which everything-money, h ealth, and energyhad been freely lavished in th e cau 'e of ,elf- acrifice and devotion to duty, of which she was so striking an example.

The Bulgarian Relief Fund of by her own efforts, and expended with tho assistance of Our conf7'ere afforded the recipients relief of

Pnoro.

CONDlTlONA.L

The Char tel' desire'S to aoknowledge the great assi tanoe th 0 Y htl,vO reccivecl from JUr. Amherst, who not only uudertook

10 the laborious task of cumparing and condensing the StR.tutcs. but 1110St liberally bore thc expense of lithographing thc draft for the use of members of the Committee, and subsequently of tbe printing of the 8tatutes as approved by the Chapter. Copies of the rovised Statutes m:1y be seen by mombcr~ of the Order at the Chancery on R.ppiic(J,tion to tllO Assi ta.llt Secretary. Dm'ing the past year the medals of thc OreIm" hayc heen awarded to Poli(;e-constable Henry Bartholom ew, of the Metropolitan Police, who had beca strollgly r ecommended by Sir Charles ,Van:en, for hi gallantry in rescuing a woman from a position of great peril on tlle corner of a house in Dayies Street, Berkeley. quarc, and to James Millard and Hector Thompson, who, under circumstance::; of considerable personal risk, rescued two of their fello'.\workmen (one of \yhom died -hortly afterwanl ) from a g t. flu e at the Elswir;k Steel ,V orks of Sir \Villiam Ann trong &; Co., Newcastle-on-Tyne.

Mitchell & Co.: the Order boing represented by Mr. Waynman Dixon. Police-constable Henry Ba.rtholomew's medd was presented at a meeting on February 10th, in the Theatre of the Royal United ervice III titntioll, ~Ir. John Furley pre i(ling; a number of J\Ictropolitau Polico cbsses of the St. John Arnbuhmce Asso(;iation receiving their certificat.es on the same occaSlOll .

MED.il.S.

The bronze medal has also ber.'ll conferred on A ctiJl~; Sergeant Ryan, of the Irish COllstabl1lc.try, who, in MOUlt t. Street, Mullingar, at the imminent risk of bis lifc, charge(l at and seized a runaway hurse, and, notwithstanding the efforts of the excited animal to release itself from his grllsr, succeeded in arresting its progress, though he was dragged between the shaft of the cart and the wall of an ac~joiniug building for a co:;sideralJlc distance. Had he relinqui. hec1 bif::> hold the consequences might have been most serious, as tb e street was fill ed ill a most unusual manner with peop~e, owing to some existing excitement. The magistrates of ]\,J ullingar strongly r ecommended the case of Ryan to the authorities for recognition) including promotion. The medals awarc1ed to James Millard and H ector Thompson were presonted on February 7th, at a public meeting, presided oy ~r by the Mayor of N ewcastle-on-Tyne, held in the Mechanics' I nstitute of the Elswick \\Torks of Sir William Armstrong,

The Almonerf) report that, finclin o . themselves with a balance of only £1] Gs. 7d. on St. John's Day, 1886, they determined to make another appeal to the :JIembers of the Order to enable them to contin11e the six: authorlsed diets. From that appeal they extract the following paragraphs:" The Almoners have been lem o' anxious to extend the work "to other hOI pitll.ls, a - well as to be in a position to relieve the " mitlly cases of ickness whidl arc continually being brought to " their notice in the di tribution of the eliet..:. " The calls upon members of the 0 rc1er are no doubt 111 a, ny, "but, howe,er ·w orthy their OhjCCtR, it must not be forgotten "that thc chief work of the Order has always been the relief " of suffering at it, own dOJr , and the fir t obligation mcum, bent on every member who joins the Orc1er should be its " alleviation. "Tho Almoners feel bound to specially point out the "present unsatisfactory po Ition of this department of the "Oreler, and must leave to its members a.nd their friend the "c1 r:i:-;ion as to wheth r the sy tom of diets is to be carried on " and ext ellll ec1, or cea.se altogether to exit:3t." Th e circlliar letter from which the above extracts are t[l ken was ac1elre 'sed to every member of the Order, and 1'0 ulteel in donation s to the value of £37 being received from thirteen mem bel'S, alld new annual sub criptions amounting to £ ~ ii'om eight members.

12 The response cannot) therefore, 1e considered satisfactory, but with a grant from the Kensington Branch of the St. John Amb:lllance Association, and a donation from Lord Egerton of Tatton which was paid in 1885, but which had been erroneously placed to the credit of another account, the Almoners have been enabled to continue the diets, and to bring forward a balance which, if the Annual Subscriptions are k ept up, may provide for the authorised number of diets for a few more years. The Chapter has also increased its annual grant from £34: to £50. The following table will show the number of patients relieved, number of diets issued, and cost of same during the year.

" The funds of the Command<:ry lJavin g been recently in a more prosperous state, the ClJapter resolved to resume thlir subscription to the \\ est of England Sauatorium at \,\Testollsuper-Mare, in order to be ablo to send convalesoent patients cf the \V Ol'cester Dispensary to that Institution-an arrangem nt whioh in previous yoars has been procluctive of llluC'h lastilJg benefit.

" Tho lIon.

A vote of thanks has beon similarly awarll d to Mr. J. H.

The following Report has been received from the Committee of the BRITISH OPHTllAE\IIO HOSPITAL : -

evelltually do still more to add to the high r ep utation of the Euglish Branch at home.

The Committee of the British Ophthalmic Hospital at J erusalem, in submitting its Fifth Annual Report, cannot but feel (;1, very justifiable pride, which w-ill assuredly be shared by all subscriber8 and supporters of the Institution, as well as by Members of the Order generally, in the exceedingly gratifying record of the past year's work.

The Report of l\lr. OGILVIE, the Resiuent Surgeon in charge~ just received, and the testimony of Sir Edmund and Lady Leehmcre and others, who lmve reeently visiteu. the Hospital, will, it is believed, proyo that these views arc n ot by any means too sallguine.

Gradually, but surely, the distrust or indifference with which such an Institution must at first have been received by those fOl· whose benefit it was chie£y promoted, has disappeared, ane] the ever increasing attend}lnce uf Pati ents from all parts of the Holy Land, and beyond-now numbered, even in those spa~'sely populated districts, by thousands annually-and t~e gratltucle which even the poorest evince f0r the benefits conferred, prove beyond dispute that its conception was as wise as it was llllmane, and indicate that at no distant date this Establishment of the English Brauch of the Order of St. John, will become one of the most beneficial and truly representative works with which the name of the Order has been, in modern times at least, associated. That its distal1(~e from the sphere of other humanitarian works, which command the sympathy and support of the charitable public, militates strongly against its receipt of the necessary funds cannot be denied, but it is hoped that time will do much to remove this difficulty, for each year a larger numbers of visitors is being attracted and interested by the vast amOL1l1t of good being done at the Hospital, and publicity must follow. Meantime the Committee cannot but feel that these facts should be an incentive to incre8sed exertion; that many hitherto ignorant of the amount of work done, or indifferent to its results, may be induced to take a warmer interest in such a merciful and successful movement; ancl that Members of the Order especially, will identify themselves more generally and closely with a work which bas already revived the a.nclent prestige of the Order on the scene of its foundation, and will, the Committee feels assured,

]\fl'.

OGILVIE'S Report is as follows :_

(:Dnring the year pa t 3,012 new Patients have been treated " at the Di:-;peneary, and 12-1 have been admitted into the lIos"pit,.1. The toted number of Consultations has been 17, ').3:? r "heing an increase of ~,500 over last year. There have oeen "329 operations performed, great and small. The major opera(, tions include 35 fur extrclction of cataract, 37 for making a nmv N pupil to take the place of the original one, wmeh was cloaed,. "and 3 cases where it was necessary to excise the whole eye. "The result has been very satisfactory, a complete cure "havill g be 'n obtained i n 311 ca.~ esJ and in only five bas there I i beon no benefit whatever. "Ill 'Cru hiug Granulations,' the result hus been extremely " gratifYing. I adopteu this u w plan immediat ly after I read "tho llutice of it jn the Lancet. I have not had a siugle bad "resnlt, alla by its means ea es have bEen cured in six week; "which would have taken eighteen months or two years by the " olu methud. "The operation for in-gruwing eyelashes, which I havo called " , N e ,dIe and Tbrea(l ' in the list of operations, i , so far as I ., know, a new operation. It is the ontcume of a discu ion at " the M lieal ociety lately re-cl:ltabJished here. By means of "a neeelle and thl'ul.u cases arc now cured whieh othe nvi e "must have submitted to a paiuful eutting operntioll w'ith •• knife or scissors. " I thillk thc peop10 arc beginning to feel morc gn1.7efll1 L.r n

" what is done for them; several small presents of fruit anel ., vegetables have been sent to tho Hospital in the past year by " pationts 'who had benefitted by the treatment. One case ,yas " very touching-. A poor woman who had been blind for Oll1e " years was admitted for operation. She left tht~ Ho. pital <l ble ,: to see, but returned nfter a few days bringing with her [ L " CllCU11l ber. It was her mite, tho only uno she had, and it was " accepted in the same spirit in which it was given. Another " man, who had been operated upon for cataract., oamo back tho ,. other day with twenty eggs and a bundle of oniolls as hi. {, thank-offering.

witnessilJg and bearing of the amount of eye disease, and " learning how much is clone h ere, have been surprised that they had not heard of tlus Hospital in England, and all express " themselves with the groateRt cOllfidence ae to the results of a " serious appeal tu the Britif3h People. But, it is first of all the .( work of the Order of t. John of .J orusalem, whose chief pride " in England now is to livo pro 'I.1.t'ilitate lwminwn. This is pro" perly a work of that Order, for it is a work by which relief is " given to great nl1mberf3 of suffering human creatures-by " which e\'en sight is givon to the blind. It is an Iro pitaller " work, whi<.;h though not done to EDglishmeu, yet LCS seconrl to "nOlle f tlw great branchos of humanitarian work undertaken " by the EllgJiNh Di,ision of our great and famous Order.

,. It is now a well recognized fact ill Palestille that the " Hospital is doing good work; that it supp1ies a great and " much felt want in this land where eye disease is so prevalent " and so destructive. Its unsectarian character is now known " far beyond the boundaries of the Holy Lanel, and pOOl Ie of " every faith come long distances for ad,ico. "But, it is doing a work, it is exerting a far-reaching iufiuence for good, such as was probably never dreamod of by " its Founders. I was in the ancient Ramoth Gilead in January "last. This is a small Moslem town on the oth~r . ide of the " Jordan; there are, however, a few Christians in the place. " One of these told me a littlo a.necdote, 811O'w ing tho illfluonco " of our Institlltion. This man with a numb or of ~ro . lcms had c: been talking together, and one of thom gave it as hi.' opinion, " that Christjanity, surely, had a wonderful power ovor believ~rs "in it, when they were willing to send men and money to "establish such a place as this (mentioning by name our "Huspital) which is now acknowledged to exist only to do "good. It was mentioned especiR.lly for the non-interferenc~ " with their roligion, and for the breadth and liberality of spirit " shewn by such a. work. The Institution is, howevor, practi"cally unknown ill England, except to a few, and the work " done is not publicly heard of.

" Time after time tray ellers, who have come to soo it, after

" The period of my eugagl'lllont here i nearly at an end, Hand pm'hap' my cunncction ,yith this Hospital is about to " cea. e. I believe I lun~o done my part. I have done it as •. well c.lR I could n1l(ler the circum. tancef3, and I should like to " thiuk the work will continue to progn: '. ." The '10111111ittee believes that it ,yill be only interproting the ,vi 'hes of 'iuh cribor , and of the Or leI' generally, as well as €xpro .. ing its o,,·n feeling " ill here placing on record their high appreciation of Ir. Ogilvie s mo t succes ful prufe"ional work, as prillcipal Surgeon to tho Ho pital, and their gratitude for the caro and. kill bE:sto,yed by him UpOD the pai ients who placo thell1selyes in hi hands. It must be rememberod that Mr. Ogit,ie is not only the professional head of the Institution, but is also illllllec1i<'Ltely responsible for its general aclministratioll, and iR further the represontative of the Ordor itself in the City of it birth, and it is undoubtod that to his tact and zeal, and to the iufluenee which he thus exercises, as well a to his undoubted kill af3 an Ophthalmic Surgeon, the succoss of tho Ho pital is largely due. To him and Mrs. Ogilvie, to whom the Committeo is also indebtod for most valuable alld voluntary as i",tance and co-operation, its best thanks arc offered, and it is hoped that B

20 their .ioint services may long be retained, for the benefit of un Institution for which they have laboured so successfully. The r ecord of the year's work, as reported by Mr. Ogilvic details of which will be fully given in the R eport i sued to Subscribers, shows how marvellously diversified and intricate are the diseases of the eye, for the special treatment of which the Hospital was founded; and when it is remembered that to this long-suffering and afflicted people, who come in such ever increasing llum bel'S for relief, relief has almost invariably been given, n.nd their lives in consequence rendered brighter and more useful, and that at an individual cost which for the great blessing of restored or improved sight must appear ridiculous, those who have hitherto shared in the work have, indeed, causo for gratification. 1

It will not be uninteresting to know that a calculation Imsed upon Mr. Ogilvie's figures of the number of patient, and omexpenditure, shows that the annual aven1.ge cost of each patient, taken one with another, is considerably less than 58., each patient b eing seen several times; and, as stated, of these 124 have been received into th e Hospital, and lodged and feel .as well as professionally treated. The increase of work has rendered it necessary that ~fr. Ogilvie should have some skilled assistance, and the Committeo has accepted the offer of Dr. Robert ,Vinthrop Gillman, son of tho Ameriean Oonsul, to serve as ASRistant Surgeon for one year, without salary. Arrangements are also being c')nsidered for the appointment of a trained Nurse, and DispenE er, offices it is ,absolutely necessary to fill. Improved arrn.ngements have also been made for the regular meetings of the Local Oommittee at the Hospital. The Committee has had under oonsideration thu ReO'ulations. o for the Management cf the Hospital, and a revised code of Rules, approved by the Local Committee, and adopted at a Meeting of the General Committee held in Londun early in the'

year has been dn\,\yn up, and will it is hoped ensure the R.atisf~lctory conduct of the affairs of the Hospital. These Rules provide, amongst other matters, the gratuitous treatll1e~lt of all poor patients, while guarding, as far as may be, agmnst the abuse of the Oharity by those who are not indigent. Oopies of these Rul es were appended to the Report last iSSll cd. The numerous and in many cases successful appeals" hich have tbis year been made fur the support of home institutions cithp-r e ·tablished or projected, have rendered similar efforts o~ behalf of the British Ophthalmic Hospital less successful than would otherwise probably have been the case; but the 1eeting held in the Jerusalem Ohamber, by kind permission of the Dean of 'Vestminster, on March 30th last, and the Concert at Stafford Hou, e, on June 8th, by kind permi sion of His Grace the Duke f • lltherlund, have not only dnLwn especin.l attention to the liospi tal and its work, but have most opportuuely ben fitted it re, 'onrc s at a time 'whell our a~;ailable m aus were nearly exhatvted. The Meeting on March 30th, at the J erusalem Chamber when Colonel 8ir Charles' \Tarren presided, was not only wdl attended, but exceptionally well reported in the leadillg 11m\,. papers and. in the journals of the J em h Oommunity, and re. nltecl in several w elcome donations and new allnnal ·ubscriptions. The Le ·t thanks of the Committee are due to Sir Charles ,Vaneu for presiding, and to Lord Egertoll of Tatton, the Rev. Dr. Hermann Adler, Chief Rabbi of London, Colonel Duncan, U' Richard Temple, Mr. J. H. Puleston, :Mr. F. D. locatta, 1\11'. Brudenell Carter, Mr. Amherst, Sir E. Lechmere, and others who so eloquently addressed the meeting, and so warmly pleaded the cause of the Ho pital. Leaflets with extracts fr III the speeches made at this meeting may be had on application to the Honorary Secretary. The Co.ccert so very recently held at Stafford Hou e, anc1

which was honoUl'ed by the immediate patronage of their Royal Highnes es the Prince and Princess of vVale , lIer ~toyal Highness Princess Christian, Her Royal Highn ess ~he Pnnce s Mary Adelaide, Duchess of Teck, His Serene Hlghncs the Duke of Teck, and the Dames Chevalieres of the Order of St. John was promoted, as have been similar entertainments in previous years, by Lady L echmere, whose generol:s support and uncea 'ing zeal and illt~rest in all that appertams to the Hospital cannot be too gratefully acknowledged.

Land becomes moro widely mown, further substantial help may be forthcoming. A most gratifying and characteristic letter, adclressod by the Chief Rabbi of J erusalem to Sir E. L echmere, as representing the Committee of the Hospital, was presented during Sir E. Lechm're's recent visit, and fully evinces .the gratitude locally felt for the benefits conferred.

A vast amount of work, independent of cOllsiderable personal e:s:pense, is entailed in the promotion of all such meotings, and to Lady Lechmere, Mrs. FlU'ley, ~Irs. Tyssen Amherst, 1\lrcl. Brudenell Cartel', lUI's. Pitt Draffen, and oth rs who so killlUy cUld successfully co-opentted in thi8 generous object, which ha,' resulted in an addition of over £] 00 to the funds of the IIo..::'pital, the warmest thanks of the Committee are due.

It is al 0 propo ed to make a morc general appectl to the general public eLuring' next y aI', and it is hoped that a Meeting und l' influential patronage may be held in the City with this obj cd.

The Committee also begs very gratefully to acknowledge its indebt.edness to those ladies and gelltlemen who so kindly ga,Te their valuable artistic services on this occasion, and would especiu,lly beg to offer its best thanks to 1\1iss 1\1ary Davies, Mi 's Carlotta Elliot, 1\1iss Damian, 1\li, s lUarianne Eissler; the IIGll.

Frederic Cliffe; also to Sir Arthur SnlliYctll who kindly assisted in the arrangoment of the concert; ::md to Messrs. Broac1wooc1 and Sons, who gratuitously supplied. ono of their finest concert grand pianofortes. An effort has been made, which it is hoped may provo eventually successful, to interest the leading members of the Jewish Community in the working of the IIospital. Lord l{othsehjld, Mr. F. D. Mocatta, 1\11'. Sebag Montefiore, Rev. Dr. Adler, Chief Rabbi, and others have already generollsly contributed to the funds, and it is hoped that whon the grcat rolief being afforded to their suffering co-religionists in tho Holy

Copie' of tlll ' letter in fac simile, with a translation veri£ecl by the Rev, 1'. Adler, Chief Rabbi of London, may be had for a trifling SUill, to coyer cost of printing, on application to the Secretary.

The ommittee are glad to report that through the genera ity of l\Ii. ,\ViI. 'on, a lady ,vho has aheady ub cribecI to the g noral fuud of the IIo 'pital, a Leginning ha' been made to secure a' 'pecial Ii uad" for the "Gor Ion Memorial ,ranI," alld the 'mil of £f)0 has been plac;ed to its credit with the ankers. * A furthc'r 'lUll of J~50 has 'ince al 0 be8n gi,-en for the same pm'po '0 uy Ir.

R. Brudenell Carter, not ou]y for his emillent and valuabl8 adviue as Honorary .consulting Surgeon, but also for equally valuable and able public advocacy of the Hospital, and for pecuniary help also; and to Mr. John M. Cook personally alike for his ,varm interest in the Hospital, and his continued liberal support, as wcll as for the valuable aiel rendered by his firm aDd as",istan ts, as the nnancial agents of the Committee at Jerusalem.

not only assure Mellluers of the Order and SuuscrilJers, that the British Ophthalmic Ho, pital is an objeut in every way worthy of continued alld incrcased support, b . . .1t that it may so commend itself to their favourable consideration as to induce them to make a much needcd effort to p]aee it on a fil'mc'l' financial basis. At present, with every effort that has been po~sible to the few who conshtnte it, principal ,npporterR, the i11come is inadequate to e\'en tbe exceediugly ccollomical expen(liture whidl hils been previou.ly referred to, and to maintain the nOF~pital ill it., present state even, further aLd YJgorons dfm·ts are imperatiye. Annual Subscriptions especially are urgently neerled.

The Central Committee desires also to express its best thanks to Mr. Noel Temple ~doOl'e, C. l.G .. lIer Britannic Majesty's Consul at Jerusalem, Chairman, and to the l\I em bel's .and Honorary Secretary of the Local Committee at J ern alem, for the valuable co-operation and assistance at all times afforded by them ill the local supervision and admiuistfation of the affairs ,of the Hospital.

'1'0 Sir Edmund and Lady Lechmere must always be due the warmest thanks of all friends of the IIospital. Their ·constant zeal ill its welfare, and their generous and contiuuollS contributions to its funds, as well as thl'ir unceasing attention to every detail of its working arc the surest guarantees for, as they haye been the chief factors in, its success. The Committee has also gratefully to acknowledge t.he -receipt of several useful and appropriate presents for the Bospjtal, including a supply of Rpectacles for the patients by 111's. Pitt Draffen, cocaine and an operating table by ir E. Lechmere, and a regular dispatch of English daily newspapers, 'pamphlets, etc., by Mr. H..

The Rooms in the portion of the Gate lately occupieu by Ml'. Gay will also bo ro-arrangoc1.

The Direui ors appojnted Ly the Shareholdcrs at their first Meeting are :-Sir E . LECHMERE, General 'YH1T,YOnTil PORTER, Mr. FURLEY, Mr. 'V. D.

Fresbfields have, throughout the transactions "which haye resulted in the formation of tue Company, and in absolutely placing the property in the possession of Members of the Order. acted in the most lib eral manner as Honorary SoliGitors to the Com:t>any, as well as to the Order. T he Chapter desires to offer to them th eil' very .'i11cer e thanks for their skilful services, as well as for the gcnerosity with which they have declined any remun eration, and for the accommodation which they have afforded to the Com pallY by allowiug the Meetings of the Directors to t.lke place at their offices. Their acknowledgments are also dU8 to Mr. Robort Vigers (Donat) for hiB very effieient and gI'atuitous as. 'istance a.B Surveyor. A piece of land adj oining the East Tower, valued by Mr. Vigers at £1,200, has been pm'chased by the Company, and a building to receive the carriages and otber property of the St. John Ambulance Ass')ciation, more especially for tho Transport Corps, will be erected as soon as plans have been prepared.

The Directors of tho Company would be glad if Members and As 'ociates would help tbem to dispose of the remaining GOO shares, and hope that the hareholders will be satisfied with the propo. ed anangeIDcmt that the Dividends should uorumence as from St. J ohu's Da,y, 1887, and be paid y early on 01' about that day.

The annual rent proposed RE CEIYER.

to be paid by the Order to the Company owning the Gate is £100, and therefore there is due from the Order to the Company a proportionate part of this rent froUl the 25th March last.

The Librarian reports the followiug presentations to the Library during the past year : -

The Company owning the Gate, the "St. J obn's Gate (Clerkenwell) Company, Limited,» having been formed for furchasing these premises, it was resolved at a Meeting of the Chapter, held on the 14th December, 1886, that the invested Securities belonging to the Order should be sold, and such portion of the proceeds as might be necessary jnvested in the purchase of 150 shares of tbe Company, and the balance paid to the account of the Order, at the London and , Vestminster Bank, L othbury.

On the 28th J anuary, 1887, tht\ t:)ecurities werr. accordingly sold and realized, less expenses, the following amouuts, yiz.·£120 58. Bank of England Stock .• £200 Q,ueensland 4 pel' cent. Bonds .•

The sum of £1,500 was invested in the purchase of 150 shares of the St. J obn's Gate (Clerkenwell) Company, Limited, and the balance paid to the Account of the Order, at the L ondon and Westminster Bank, as directed by the Chapter. The sum of £80 7s. balance of the proceeds of the investments remaining in the Lands of the RECEIVER should, if not Tequired for the expenses of the Order chargeable to Capital Account, be reinvested, and it will therefore be seen that the sum of £399 Os. 8el. must be reduced by this sum of £80 7s., and also by the proportionate part of the rent amI the other current payments.

L prcsellting their r port of the progress of the Associa,tjon durillg the pn,. t hvelve months the Committee yentures to think the first duty i to offer for the gracious acceptance of Her Majesty the Queen, its loyal and respectful congratulations on this the fifti0th anllivcr. ary of Her Iajesty's beneficent and glorious reign. In these congratulations, which have been embodied in thc form of a loyal adche. s submitted for the gracious accC'pt<wee of the Que n al1l1 snbsequently prcsented by II.R.n. Princc. s n atricc, nll membcrs and pupils of tho Association, inc 'pC'ctive of race or 'reed or political bia,', will cordially join, Haul their pl'ofc'uncl anrl dutiful homage to a o,rercign who e 'w hole career has in. plred 1.1l1iyCl\ al admiration and affection 'will not be Ie selled by th .. fact that so much of the wonderful succes which ha, attelHlcll tho Cl,1'ec1' of the t.

As a proof of thii) u 'Ct", it i~ 'ufficient to 1 oint out that the A.'socintion bas now n its book upwa.1'c1R of 270 admilli tl'ati\Te Centl'CR, and that its c rtifi<.;a.ted pnpils now number cOll 'ideraLly over 100,000 stutlonts of both sox Fl, aU of whom have pa..

houspholcl in cases of sickness, whell the precion time of the medical man is too frequently wasted, and his advice even ~tultified by the ignorance of those about the patient, as to the first and simplest duties that should be performed by the liurs e. N or has the work of instruction, all important as it is, alone engaged the attention of the Committee. The meaSUrE'S taken for still further educational dev elopment, the encoura,gement offered by subsequent re-examination after extend d intervals, to maintain the standard of once acquired proficiency, the initiation of schemes for securing permanence and lasting utility, such as the establishment of Local Ambulance Corps for Men, and Nursing Guilds (or Corps) for omen ; anc1 last, but not least, the creation of a special department at h eadquarters, an "Invalid Transport Corps' for the r emov;"LI of patients of all classes any distances at hom e or abroad, all t end to prove that the Committee has borne steadily in mind the necessity for renewed and continued effort, and that the movement the Order of St. John has had the good f ortune to originate, and to place, it is hop ed, on a sound audlasting basis, cannot be allowed to be anest ed in its onward course at any fixed or settled limit, but must ever keep pace with the requirements of an advancing age, seeking to find in its futur e, as it has alreac1y done in its short but prosp erous past, numerous fresh fields of usefulness, and again and again renew ed opportunities for the expansion of the very object of its being, the prevention of needless suffering, and the alleviation of hnman paill.

A great feature of the past year's work has been the succes, which has attended the establishment of Ambulance Stations at the Colonial and Indian and the Liverpool Exhibitions. A ppreciation of the usefuln es~ of these stations has been testified by the governing bodies in special letters of thank.', which the Royal Commissioners of the former have practically emphasised by a grant of One Hundred Guineas towards the expenses incuned. Full details will be found in the Appendix

and in the Rep ort of tl l:) Honorary l\Ianager, I\1r. Fmley, who in thi' as in the oth er departments 'w ith which h e is connected, co ntinues to display the same untiring devotion to the advanoemont of the Association's work. It is gratifying to the Committee to record that Mr. Furloy's servioe, in the can 'e of humanity have r ecently been further recognise d by the receipt of a diploma signed by H.R. II. Prinoe Ilenry of Prussia, the President, confel'l'in g on him Honorary ilI emborl::!hip of the Gcrman S((}]7,({1'ile1Te1'eill.

10 in appreciation of zealous services, and tLre0 of th~ mo::;t energetic workers of the Association, Sir Vincent Bal'l'lngton, General Sir George H. S. ,'lillis, K.C.B., and lUI'. C. R. Fletcher Lutwidge have availed themsel\-es of this privilege. At the end of June last year, but since the elate of the last report, H.R. H. Princess Beatrice, President of two Oentres, who was accompanied by H.R.H. Prince Henry of Battenberg, was graciously pleased to open a bazaar representing ~ ~IungaricLn market, beld at ,Villis' Rooms, in aid of the AssocmtlOn funds . The decorations of the market, and its novel and elegant features, excited urnversal admirR..tion, and the grateful thanks of the Committee are due to the stall-holders, to all thOEl,e who so liberally forwarded gifts of money and in kind, to the professional and amateur performers who so generously gave their services, anel, aLove all, to the energetic Honorary Secretaries, ::Mr. and 1\1rs. Crossland, whose indefatigable exertions have been inadequately recoguised by Honorary Life 1\1ember hip of the Association, the highest honor in the power of the Committee to bestow. After the payment of all expenses, the sum of £190 lOs. 10el. was paid over to the St. John Ambulance Association, and £83 17 s. Gel. to the British Ophthalmic Hospital at Jerusalem, a rp,sult which cannot be considered unsatisfactory, inasmuch as the bazaar was held amidst all the disturbing and unforeseen influences of a general election. A large number of meetings for the inaugluation of new Centres, to open the Session, or for the presentation of certificates and medallions, have been held at home and abroac1. Of these the most noteworthy were that in July last, when ILH.II. Prince Albert Victor attended 8, meeting of the Polytechnic Classes, at the Y oung ~Ien's Christiall Il1stitute, Regent 8treet; and allother in the Rame month, when H .R.H. Princef:s Louise, Marchioness of Lorne, presented certificates at Carshalton. Similar interesting gatherings have taken place at the College for ,Vol'king ,i\To men, Fitzroy Street, and at Scotland Yard, for the 1\1etropolitan Police, the presentatiolls 1 eing made by

11 ViscounteF:;s \V oJseley, Colonel Duncan, lvIl'. Fmley, and ~ 'ir Charlel:l \ Vanell respectively; at the Jerusalem Centre, by the Presiclent, Raonf Pasha; at ::Melbourne and Arlelaide, Australia; and Lyttelton, New .zealand; and at Bombay, wheL'e addresses were delivered by Lord nud Lady Brassey, who are sparing no effol't at every place they touch at during their present voyage round the world in the " unbeam," to ad vocate and extend the ad vantages of the Amb111ance can e. Not the least ilnportu,llt a1130 of the many meetings, the enumerntion of which .'pnce al 'n forbids have been two held in LOIl(lon: one nt Pachlington, when Lord Lyttelton and Sir Vinceut Barrington advocated ancl succeeded in forming very successful cIa' 'es for Great ,Vest-ern Railway employes; and in April last, at the 1\1an.'ion IlO1l.'e, when the LOl'd 1\1ayor pre.8uted certificate and medallions to the City Police. The Committee have plea ur in reporting that, both at the home and colonial Centres, the ab olute nece sity that all police officers, of -whatever force or grade, should po 'es the Imowledge of llOw to renc1er "first aid," is fa t becoming daily more an(l mOre recoglli. 'ed by the varion cOll)orate and other bodies charged with their aclmiLli tration. The cIa ses held annually for the 1\1etropolitan Police, though nt henvy co t (notwithstanding the trifling graut from the Home Office) to head-quarter fund" haye be n referred to in previous report, the City Police ChL8ses, lately revived, have al 0 been among the first formed in London; but in the province the in truction of the County or Borough Police forms almo t the first ohject whieh attracts the attention of Local Committeos and Executive Officers. (0 well is this carried out that in at lea t one Centre (Oldham), all the Police Officers have attended cIa 'e, while at another (Stalybl'idge) the whole force have llone so twice . in exc lIeut example is set by Lanca ,hire to other parts of England, as the whole of the county COl1stabulctl'Y arc now nndergoing instrllction in "Detached Clas os,~' the Chief Oonstahl being cliredly in communication for this pm'po (' WiUl ,,'1. .John's GaLe.

are the foreign Centres fm' bchind ill the race. At Jerusalem class for the native poliee was held by Dr. Ogilvie, the surgeon of the Order's" British Ophthalmie Ho pital,,' at the expre s inst.ance of the Turkish Pasha; "while at Singapore, the local force is being instructed by the Committee, the Government paying two-thirds, and the Centre one-third, of the cost. .More interest has also of late been shown in, and greater success has attended the formation of classes for railway 1110n; :1, great obstacle being often the heavy and continnous nature of their duties, so that a Sunday is frequently the only day on which a class can meet. At some places it has long been no unusual circumstance for classes to be instructed and even examined in tbe intervals between the arrival ~tnd departure of trains, a sacrifice of the instructor's leisure for which no 'word, of prai, 'c can be too warm. But the perusal of a few pages only of an Ambulance report is enough to show the ulltiring energy anel devotion exhibited with scarcely an exception by all members of tbe medical profession who have been brought ill contact with its work; and with what large-hearted onthusia m they are ever r eady, at any personal sacrifice, to benefit a cauee t]lC:! guiding principle of "hich is identical with that which inspir s their own humane and noble calling. During the year now closillg new Centres llave be~u

1\1 nch greater care thttJ1 formerly IS now exercised in enrolling new Centres, tho establi.·hment of which is not sanctioned unless it seem, Irobable that the holding of a certain numb8r of classe' will be annually mn,intained. In pln,ces where local [1,1lCl other circumstuDces render this unlikely, increased ncourn,gemcmt is offered to the formation of "Detn,cherl Jass0s," a v ry large nlUnber of which have been held during the receut se'siol).

In the past tw lve months 15,751 (.

The higher educational attainments of the rio ing generation, the conviction yearly gaining ground that Ambulance work is a sober and serious study of real and vital importanco, not a fashionable amusement to be taken up and dropped at pleaslue. has gradually caused a more elevated standard of proficiency to be expected by examiners from pupils, and the Committee hopes that as time goes on this principle may be still further recognised, and superior efficienoy, e pecia,lly in the test for tho subsequent re-examination, be maintained, or perhapl:l even increased. The Committee has to express its obligation to :Thll'. Robert Bruce, recently elected one of its colleagues, for his nLle assistance as Honorary Secretary of the Handbook Revi. ion 8ub-Committee, and for other services. Owing to the largo increase in the number of classes in the Principality, the preparation and issue of a Welsh translation of hepbercrs Handbook had become a necessity. Con iderable portions of this valuaLle little manual have also been tranl:llated into Bm'mese for the use of the pupils at the Rangoon Centre. Owing to change of rosidence and other causes, the Association has lost the servicos of some of the most able and indefatigable of its honorary secretaries. Among those lllay be ineluded .Major J. C. Dalton, Gibraltar; Dr. A. Price, Isle (If 'Night; 1\1rs. Manley, Sydenham; 1\11'. V. K. Blackburn, Barnsley; Mr. A. T. Cocking, of Parkgate, near Rothcrham; and the Rev. Thomas Flayell, Christ Church, New Zealand. Gratitu le will always be due to these, as to so many others, for their zealous co-operation, and the Committee feols suro that the success which has followod their exertions, will have tended, not a little, to repay them for their labors of love. A word of regret must here be inserted [Lt the loss to the Association, by his departure for lIong Kong, of Mr. James Cantlie, whose services, both at the head-quarters of the Association, ancI to the various districts of the 1\1 etropolitan Centre, have been invaluaLlo.

Very mallY leeturcrs have this year bpon elected lIonorary Life Members of the Association, in acknowledgment of their gratuitous ser,·ices. The xtension of work in .0 many new c1i. 'triCt3 has also elltaileellHlll1erOUS additions to the examining Rtaif. The names of all the examiners arc this year published for the first time in the Appendix. a s]jght recognition of the scrnces of these gentlom ll, whose miuute attention to the conduct of examinations i, oft<:n vcry inadequately rcpaicl by the mot1erate honoriLriulll attached to their office .

In the face of thcse illc1iHputaLle l:ltatiHtic it is gratifying to state tha t. t.he intcrest taken in Ambulance work by railway clllploye of all grade is not only maintained, but eYcn steadily gaining ground. A, already report cl, one of the most flouri 'rung railway corp wa cstabli::;he(l '0111e year sllH:e at one f the ol<.ler centrc '-Leic tel', a centre whi ch sets a o'ood example to many others in the steady perlllanence of its work, and ,,rhich ha. lately start.el1 ,t ,.

and two admirably instructed classes of Metropolitan Rail way employe. , meeting at Bakel' Street Station. The formation of St. John Ambulance Corps is not, however, limited to railway men. Corps for all cla.s es are now regularly formed at many Centres (the most recent has been one at King William's Town, South Africa), e pecially those jn the manufacturing districts, ::md amongst these, one of the most complet.e ill detail and arrangement is that at Northampton; while the in titution of "Nursing Corps," the member of which must be certificated pupils prepared to give their services in tending the sick poor or any others requiring their assistance, is constantly on the increase. The opportunity afforded by these means of rendering the knowledge both of "first aid" and nursing, of real and practical utility, cannot be too highly estimated and encoura.ged. The disastrous explosion which occurred on October 2nd last, at the Silkstone Pit, at 1essrs. Pope and Pear on' Colliery, Alt oft s , neal' ,Vakefield, and the valuable assistance rendered by the members of the Association's claRses to those of their injured comrades who had esell,ped instantalleons death, will be fresh in the memory of all residents in the Yorkshire mining districts. A few of the other similar striking cases where aid afforded by pupils has been advantageou, are recorded below. Such instances of what has been actually achieved afford the best proof of the utility of a knowleclge of " fin~t aid," and show conclusively the great and pressing need for the work of the St. J ohn Ambulance Associa,tion, especially illustrating how men cngaged in peaceful occupations go forth in the morning to their daily labours in robust health-some into mines in the dark recesses of the earth, Rome iuto mills and factories in the midst of dangerous machinery, some upon railways, and others into chemical works amongst deadly explosives, none knowing that before evenin g they may not he 1rollght home with mangled limbs and bodies.

Many such deeds arc performed b'y Ambulance pupils that are lost sight of because no ODe tbink. it worth while to chronicle them. A grand total of good, that it is impossible to calculnte, is being made np daily . b it not strang tIlat, with our tali of earnest workers, we should, in a town Jike L iC('!8ter, have such a glorious work left year after y ar to languish for want of fund ? fj subscription of 5s. per annum constitutes member hip, and 100 uch would keep us goil1g gn:llldly. , Ye have now a cIa. s of polie men, another at the gasworks, Aylestone, for t11e men mployed tbera, and ' \'e h ope sbortly to b:we a cIa for the firem81l . , Ve hope tbis fresh proof of tbe utility of our work will bring us a little of that substaDtial sympatby we so IDnch l1C'ec1.

The minor accid nts continue to be-both as regards numoor awl character-yery serious. TlJi::; Report, 11u\\ e,'er, is Iwt by allY meallS a complete record of tbe accidelJts which occur. No returns have oeen recei ved from Grosmout, South Skelton, ..Aylesoury, Rosedale Ea t, Grinkle, Kirkleatham or Lingdale, and LIle retuL'ilS from 'ome of the other mines are not nearly complete. Before concluding this Report we wish again to call tbe attelltion of the llelllbers to the (luestion of Ambulance. Mauy of tho e ,d10 CIuahfied to render" first aid" to tIle injured, in case of accidellt, ha\'e left the district, and "e think the time has arrived 'w hen an eITort should be made to establish ar.1uitional corps at every mine to increase the nU!Dber of those who have already been trained . rrllere is prooably never one working day during the whole year on which all accident does not occur. It is therefore of vital importance that an eamest attempt should be made to make Ambulance work a permallent institution in the district. Tbis IV ill nece, 'i3ita te funds bei Il g- raised oy some means, and I am instructE-d oy the Executive COLllmittee to ask the tDelllbers to seriously consider tue ad visalJility of each mall ill the district contributing threepence per year towarus this dc.'iraole olJject. No doubt the mine alLd royalty owners would contribule a like allloullt, and this would be sufficient to l11 struct one man in every ten every year.

TLe Corps docs not UlHlcl'take to supply meclic.::tl comforts (such as food, wine, &c.), and \\ ill not interfere with any case except at the request amI accordillg to the directions of the medical attendant. The A sociatc's are not ll('rmitted to interfere \vith the religious views of those wLom they attelld. The UorlJs is not at the outset prepared to undertake the nursing of infectious caf.;es, al though tLey hope ultimatc]y to be able to include tLis uranch of work.

The extension of ihese useful bodies of men has been satisfactory. At Yorthampton the force number no less than 108 members, and up to the late t l'eport stretchers and litters and Ambulance h.ampers have been placed for the use of the Corps at no less .than 16 different parts of the town-thu affording ready help at any tIme for the removal of the injured, and also for the ick. Dr. Arthur Jon~s, the II~n . Sec~etary of the Centre, has been very active in the promotlOn of thIS serVlCe on practical lines in Northampton. At Oldham several ca8es are reported "here the various Ambulance Corps in the town have done useful service. The different sections of the IIeavy \Voollen Di trict Oentre report several cases, some of them severe, such as compound fracture of the leg and scalp wounds, broken leg, wounded artery and fracture of the skull.

The Bal'nsley Independent, January 22nc1, 1887. Jon A::.\tBULANCE As 'OCUTIO AT MANYERS MAIN COLLIERY.The advantages to be derived frum being connected with tbe a.bove Associatioll are furtber illustrated by a ca 'e which ha recently occurred at MallYC1" Maiu Colliery. La t August a workman named IIenry Beasley, engaged at the colliery, had his leg broken Ly a fall of coal. ST.

3G The injured man was attended to in the pit by Mr . Uaseley and Mr. George Dunstan, members of the "\Yath Branch of the As ociation, '\vho after applying bandages to tue man's leg, conveyed him to the bottom of the shaft, a distance or nearly two mil s from tho RC81le of the accident. Iil a letter which Beasley ha now vTitten he thank the Manvers Main Colliery Company, and their esteemed mallager, Mr. Thomson, for the intereRt they have taken in the St. John Amlmlanco Association: and also Rta,tes that the thanks of all miners are due to the Members of the Association for the increa 'ed comfort :llld safety which they have assured to those uffering from accident. ACCIDEXT AT ,yATH ~Lu:x COLLIERY. - On MonCl.ay afternoon, hortly after five o'clock: as a collier named George Ulegg wa following his emplo:rment at the above colliery, a ma....,s of coal f II upon him and broke his leg. Many miners and colliery official. in this di tl'ict are members of the St. John Ambulance Af'lsociation, and in thi ca e some of them were able to render assiRtance before tbe man waf'l removed from the pit, proving the benefit of it by binding the injured leg up, thereby alleviating the sufferings that otherwi e the man would have had to undergo. After thi he was conveyed home and medical aid was procured. This good quality was exemplified a few days a go at a York hire coHiery. One of the men employed above ground accidentally fell into a h opper filled with wet slack, and wcnt under at once, just a if he had tumbled into a quicksand. There he remained, amI a quarter of an hour elapsed before tbe unfortunate fellow was dragg c1 ont of Ilis involuntary cold bath. ITe was, of course, quite in ensiLle, and to all appearance life seemed extinct. Luckily, however, some ll1ember of of the St. J obn Ambulance Society, ,vho were present formed a different opinion, and illstantly resorted to artificial respiration with complete success. In this instance, "a little learning" was \'ery far from being a dangerous tbillg", ither to its possessors or to the perRoll on whose recovery it was expended.

The persons worl-ing' with 11im called for assistance, Mr. Monison, tho cokebul'ller, getting all bands at work as speedily as possible, but it was not till after he had been immersed in the slack fifteen minutes that he was extricated, and it was fem'ed the worRt had happened. Mr. Bailes, the manager, with lr. Dod<1s, the engin er, and othen:;, rendered all the assistance possible, and as several members of the St. John Ambulance Association wero present, artificial means [or restoring respiration were resorted to, and after about hal£-an-llOur's bard work, tbeir efforts v:rere successful in bringing him round.

"In my last year's report I mentioned that many of the large " mine owners in thi ~ di trict had provided ambulance or stretchers at " their mines, for the purpose of conveying injured persons Irom the " illine to their homes or to the hospital, and appliances Ior bandaging. "I also recommend the institution of proper classes for the purpose of " instructing and trainiug men ready to render' First Aid' in ca es of "injmy, without which the above material so supplied would be "comparatively u eless. This has only to a small ext nt been carried " out. I am, however, hopeful that the exertions made by the " St. John Ambulance .As ociation, through their energetic llon. "Secretary, Mr. Waynman Dixon, of Iiddlesbrough, may be IJroductive "of much good being done during the present year. The ociety has "appointed Surgeon-Major Huttun, A.M.D., to make a special effort to " organise classes in every colliery village in the two northern counties, " so that at least one in every dozen or so of all the men employed at "our coJiieries will be qualified to render help in cases of accident. "A public meeting in support of thi movement wa held in the Edgar " Memorial Hall, at Bishop A uckland, on the 12th ultimo presided over " by the Lord Bi hop of Durham, when Surgeon-Major Hutton gaye an "instructive address on the objects and methods of instrnction to be " followed. The meeting was well attended. " I am glad to find that the Government have inserted in the Coal " l\Iines Bill, now before Parliament, a general rule making it compulsory " at mines, where over 50 persons are employed underground, to have "ambulances and appliances for bandaging, ready for u e at the mine "in case of accidents. I hope it may become law."

IN last year's Report reference was made to the Ambulance stations formed by the St . .J ohn Ambulance Association at the Indian and Colonial Exhibition and at the Internatiollal Exhibition at Liverpool. At the former 701 persons suffering from accident or sudden illness were treated, and of these 41 were taken to hospitals 01' to their own homes. At Liverpool 247 received" first aid," and 11 were conveyed to hospitals. At the latter exhibition great assistance was rendered by Colonel Paris, Honorary Sccretary of the Local Contre of thc Association, he having organized relief for evening duty. The following certificated pupils kindly gave useful and gratuitous help for this pill'pose :--Messrs. W. Harvie, James Jones, R. , i'\Tinter, T. Roberts, D. Roberts, J . Kelly, VV. ~lervor, A. Hart, G. Thornton, J . Hodgkinson, J . Larking, R. , Vigley, J. T. Domville. At the station in the Livcrpool }1~xhibition various articles for the relief of the sick and inj urecl were exhibited, for which a diploma of honour, hon concoU?'s, was awarded.

The Royal Commissiollers of the Indian and Colonial Exhibition also prescnted to the Association a medal and diploma, together with a lallation of one hunched guineas. Mr. Fill'lcy's reports with regard to these exhibitions are appended. A station is now established at the American Exhibition, \'irith a branch which is open at the ., ,Vild ,Vest" during the two daily performances. •'ince the 1st May 46 persons have been treatec1 and J have been removed to hORpitali:l. During the la t ycar the actual Transport work has greatly developed, and this i . hown, not. '0 much by the number of the aRCS, as by the importance of the journeys undertaken. A m etillg was held at t. J ohu s Gate in support of this department on the 31st ~Jarch la, t, 'when Sir Edward Sieveking, M.D., prc. i led. As a full report of this meeting i appended, and copies can be obtained by those who may be interested in the uLject, it would be uperfluous to repeat all the details in this p!u,ce. Briefly it lilay be t:'tted that between July 31st, 1 6, and July 31 t 1 7, 290 invalids have been removed from one place to another by the Corps, an increa e of 116 over the number conveyed in the previous year. The report, to ,'i hich reference has ju't been made, gives a list of the principal journey, but since the meeting ,'{as held invalids have been conveyed by the Corp' as follow, from :\Y cybl'idge to London

DOl'king ,,(by road), Margate ,,(2), Southampton " Kllebsworth to N ewcastle-on'ryne, Londou to Eastbourne (2) " Margate (2), Liverpool, ,. Cat ~rham, " Brentwood (byroad), " ., Bagshot (by road), Birmin gham, "

Londou to Folke tone (3), " Stroud (Gloucestcl'shire ), lIa lemere, " Ascot, " Sevenoaks " t. Leonard::;, " urbiton, " Brighton, Dorking (by road), Chislehur t (by " road),

also a journey from Coventry to .Munich, Mr. Brasier accompanying the invalid as far as Cologne, and then placing him in the sleeping compartment which conveyed him t o MUllid1. In regard to this journey the following very satisfactory letter has been received by :Mr. Furley:-

however, been much checked by the want of proper coach-houses and stables, a want which is to be removed before the winter. Perhaps the most important step whidl has been made in this department during the year has been in the direction of Am bulance Stations in the streets of the Metropoli~ on great public occasions, On the 9th November, 1886, the IIonorary Manager made a.n offer to the Cummissioner of the Metropolita.n Police to establish two stations on the occasion of the Lord 1\fayor's 8how, and these were placed at Bow Street and King Street Police Stations respectively. Although, fortunately, there was little need for their services, sufficient was done to prove the ad valltnge that such supplementary aid might be, and, therefore, some weeks previously to the celebration of Her Majesty's Jubilee the offer was repeated. On the 21st June three detacbments with carriages and needful appliances were placcd at Buckingham Palace, "\Yestminster Abbey and Spring Gardens. Sir Cbarles ,ValTen's appreciation of the ,York done is, perhaps, best shown by his allowiug the report made by the Chief Surgeon of the Metropolitan Police to appeal' in Orders. A copy is appended. 011 the 22nd of June, with the sanction of the Children's Jubilee Celebration Committee and with the co-operation of the Metropolitan Police an Ambulance Station was established in Ilyde Park in a marquee ",rithin the enclosure where 30000 childrell assembled. Mr. Owen, of St. Mary'S Hospital, and Dr. Lewis, of the Children's IIospita.l, Great Orlllond Street, assisted by four Sisters from the latter institution, kindly undertook the medical charge. 21 cases were treated, and one adult and three children were remo~T d from the ground in the ambulance carriage, of which there were t,yO on the ground. On the 2nd. July Sir Charles ,ValTen again accepted the services of the Corps for duty with the police in St. James's Park, on the occasion of the march pa t of "Volunteers in presence of I1.l\1. The Queen. One station was estnblished within the railings of Bllckillgham Palace, one at Storey's Gate, [wd one in the Mall. 14 cases ,Yl:re hL'ated.

DEAR

SIR,

29th June, 1~87.

Only a few hurried lines to tell you that, thanks chiefly to your care, I reached this place with such ease and comfort as I could scarcely have dreamt of. Far from injuring me, I thil.lk the joumey has done me absolute good. But I am sure that without your stTetcher the whole thing would have been a failure; a breakdown might have happened any and everywhere, as none of the ordinary descriptions of stretchers would ha,e been of the least use on board the boat, in the International sleeping cars, or any of tho liuos south of Cologne, and last on the road here and up the stairs iuto our lodging . In Munich again, where we rested over three days, I lay the greater part of the day, " by way of a treat," on the stretchor. },IT. Brasier was a most sa.ti factory tra,elling companion, and took a1l and every trouble off our Lands. ile proved Lims8lf full of resources, was never at a loss for anything, never asked ullllecessary questious, was always where wanted, and never in ono's way. \\Te were sorry we couldn't shake hands with him, but you hen-rd probn-bly that, the train from Cologne starting off without the ghost of a signal, he was nearly abducted a3ainst his win, aud had to jwnp off at some risk. I shall send off tbe two blocks he left behind this evelling by parcel post. Give him our kind remembrance, please. I am greatly ill your debt, that part of it-and it is the smallestwhich can be expressed in £ s. d. I shall be most happy to liquidate as soon as you will kindly let me know the sum total. If you happen to see Mackinnon you may tell him that his introducing you to me was as good a turn as he bas ever done me. Mrs. Btriedinger writes in kind regarns and best tbanks. Sincerely yours, J OIIN FURLEY, ESQ. (Signed) OTTO STRIEDIXGER. "Vith part of the proceeds of the Bazaar mentioned in the General Report an Ambulance Carriage of tLe same pattern as that which gained a gold medal at the International IIealth Exhibition, a set of single harness and a carrying chair-lounge have been purchased, and these have greatly added to the means of us efulness of the Corps. The pr(Jper development has,

On the 4th July, when H er Maj esty laid the foundation stone of the Imperial Institute, the Corps were again allowed the pri\ilegc to co-op erate with the police. Two stations were established: one opposite to the principal entrance in Exhibition Road, and the other within the park at Queen's Gate. 7 cases were treated, and three were conveyed from the grolmd. More recently, on July 15th, the Committee which organized the Jubil ee fete for 3,500 school children at Clapham availed themsel ves of our services, and we had the kind a. sistance of Mr. V\Testlake, Resident Medical Officer of the French Hospital, and two sisters from the same in titution. 15 cases were treated, and two of the more serious ones were conveyed to their homes in the Ambulance carriage. A "first aid" station was established during the IIorse Show at Olympia in May, and the services of the Corps were again lent for the Agricultural Hall during the week of the Military Tournament in June last. In addition to the services of the Staff of the Association, we are glad to acknowledge the willillg help given by the following certificated pupils of the Association :-1\1es 'rs. J. 'V. Knott, J. F. Rumball, Gordon, A. J. Chcxfield, G. Chillingworth, F. D. Mackenzie, C. Alan Palmer, A. 'Voodword, Travers, Farrow, G. "\Villiams, and Fowler. Such vohllltary aid as they have afforded is most valualJle, and the Honorary Manager hupes he may be able to reckon on their contiuued help as well as on that of other gelltlemen who may follow th~ir example in the future.

I have the hOllor to pre eItt to you for tllO information of Bis HiJyal IIighness the President, ar.d the Members of thc Royal 'iommi6sion of the Oolonial and Indian Exltibition, the final and general report of the work doue :it the Ambulance Station, v;rllich, by permission . of IIifl Royal llighness, the t. John Ambulance ASRociation waR allowed to establish at 22, Old Lond on, for the use of the staff and employes of the Exbibition as well as of the visitors. This Station was opened on the 1st of May last, with Ir. B Ltys, late Staff-Sergeant of the Medical Staff Corps, as .... uperintendent, ~lr. II. Percy Potter, F .R.C. "., as Honorary urgeon, and myself aH IIonorary Manager and Director. Owing to the ill-health of Mr. Bettys he was rcplaced on tbe 2nd of June by Ir. Ad:1I11S, late 'e rgeant 'uedical Staff Corps, who acted as Superintendent until the clo c of the Station. On 92 evenin gs Mr. Adams was relieved by Mr. Brasier and Mr. Jackson, and be himself remained there on 71 evenings. After the Exhibition was closed on the J Oth November, you accepted my suggestiou that the station might be useful for the workmen engaged in dismantling the \'arious Court s, and it was kept open until the 21th of the same month. During the periud between May 10 th and ~ ovember 24th, 70 l persons were received at the Ambulance Station; of the e, 522 residc or were staj ing in the metropolis, and 179 came from the proYinccs; tH cases were r emoved to hosp:tals or private residences by mean. of the vehicles belong-ing to the Association. 'The tLc(:ompanying' tabulated st:ltement will afford illformatioll as to the nature of the cas~s, and should further detaib be req'lired, the report books kept at the Station can be placed at your disposal.

PRIOR to the capture of Jerusalem by the Crusadera A.D . 1009, two hospitals were founded therein by the Christians for male and female pilgrims. In 1113,. ~ope Paschal II formally sanctioned the establi hment of the ITospitallers as a l'ehglO ~s Order, and in 1118 they took an additional ,ow to bear arms in defence of theu' faith. Permn,nently established on a militn,I'Y basis the Order of St. J olm of Jernsalem achieved imperishable renown in "or whilst eyer cherishing the duty of alleviating sickness and suffering in pcace. It was divided into eight Langues or nationalities, viz., Provence, .A.uvergne, France, Italy, Arragon, England, G ermany and Castile. Introduced into England in 1101, the confraternity rapidly attaiued great power and influence, its head-quarters being at Clerkenwell. St. J oh.n's Gato led to its far-fameu. Priory, and the Sisters of the Order were established at Bucklands, in Somersetshire. The Order held its high position in this country until the year 1540, when it was despoiled, suppressed, and iLs property confiscated by Act of Parliament. In 1557 it was restored by Royal Charter, and many of its possessions were re-granted; only to be aauin confiscated within two yelll's by a second statute, which did 11ot, however~ enact its re-suppression . SLill, owing to the loss of its estates and tl:e withdrawal of its members to Malta-then the so,ereign seat of Lhe Order-l1; became extinct in England, although the Sixth or Engli h Langue continucd to be represented at the Chef-liett. Many fluctuations have marked the fortunes of an institution w11ich ~layed a prominent part in history, until the loss of Malta, in 1798; after wInch the dispersed divisions of the Order struggled to maiutain iudi,idual cxistence'. More than half-a-century ago fire of the seven then existing divisions of the Oreler decrced tbe revival in England of the English Langue, since which its Members have to the extent of their ability striven to carry out their duty as Hospitallers in the relief of sickness, distress, suffering and danger. The follo"ing are some of the objects which bave engnged the attention of the O rder in Englund:-

If I could have done s~, I should certainly have said that I think such a method of trar;tsportmg invalids as yon have devised is of great value; and I have known mstances in which its utility has been tested and has proved to be beyond doubt. Very truly yours, JAMES PAGET.

,,, l\"-~ FURLEY - I am sorry that it is impossible for me t~ be present D E~,- J 1 L l i . . , h 31 t' t I ho ld lIke to have at the meetinO' arranged for Thursday, t e s ms. s. u .' I been resent b to do or say something to advocate the obJect~ m VIew. may s~y I have been the means of your ambulance wagons bemg employ~d in over a dozen cases and all have reported most favourably on t e manner in which the work was done. Yours very truly, JAMES OANTLIE. THE OHAlRMAN introduced the subject of the Meet,ing as follows; . Gentlemen, in inviting you to attend in thi.s ancient do~i~ile to-day, It was desired that you should hear an explanation and deSCrIptIOn of what has been done in a very important matter. You are probably all aware that the Order of St. John established, some ten years a,go, an Ambulance De artment; it is known by an unfortunate ter:n, whlCh scarcely conv?ys a d~finite meaning; but it is now understood. m the s~nse of affordmg instruction as to the means of rendering first aId to tb e slCk and wounded and as to the proper mode or transporting invalids from one place to an?t~er. Just ten years since this instruction was commenced, and an ~SS?ClatlOn was formed under the name of the St. John AJ?bulan?e AssoClatlOn, and all who are acquainted with the wor~ done, admit that It has been a most valuable aid in the education of EnglIsh men and worr:e~. (Hear, hear.) It has spread an over the three Kingdoms of Great Bntam, ~nd the system is extending to the farthest confines of the world. The smc~rest form of flattery, we are told, is imitation, and that we have rec~lved on the Continent, especially in Germany: (A.ppla~se.) The work IS supported throughout by the medical professIOn; ha~ ~t not been so, I am afraid ~he undertakinO' must have failed, but the ortgmators ~f the work were kll1d enough to ~ccept advice on mat~ers of a purely medlcal .character, and the judgment which has been exercIsed haa b~en such as ~o mame everywhere the good feeling and aid of the medIcal profeSSIOn. (Applause.) I believe tbat was a very wise proceeding on. the part or the 1?romoters, because the medical profession had long deslre~ to do sometl~lllg of the kind and long before this Association had any eXlstcnce, had tried to work in this di~ection. But under the influence of a great Order no doubt muc.h more ready and general support w~s given, and th.e whole plan or work IS now recognised as very much more Important thallit would have been had a single individual taken it up. The Ambulance Department. may be regarded as the" child ,. of the Order. o~ St. J ?hn. I 1!0w beg to mtroduce to you the" grandchild." The work It 1S partlCularlymtended to recomn: en.d to your notice to-day may be kno~n to a. Eew, and I am perfectly certam It

only requires to be gener~lly known to the popUlation to be utilised to a m';lch larger extent than It ha~ been yet. It is, beyond question a good unmg, and one of those good thmgs that the medlcal profe ssion are ....-villincy to roster al:d to ,avail themselves oE; .their rec?gnit i.on will stamp it a8 '; valnable ad.Jnnct ~n the treatment of dlsease, whlCh wtll cJmmend itself to t~e, general pU,bllC. The Order of St. John may claim some little superVISIon over tLls "grandchild," but it is essentially the child oE one man, and that one man has such a rer.nark~ble ,faculty of hiding his light under a bushel, that tho e who know hlm thmk It only right to I'emove the bushel and let tbe light shine forth in a more brilliant manner. (Applause,) Th~ wOl'k this " grandchild " is intended to assist in is the removal and transport .of the si?k. It has nothing to ,do with what is called first aid, but IS essentwlly work connected wlth the conveyance of the sick of all clas3es Those of us who are practical phy sician" and surO'eons know ,that np to a fe:v year~ ago" it was an expensive and difficult matter to transfer patIents serIously Ill, 81th,er from surgical or m edical complaints, from one hou e to an?ther; and sttll more from one part oE the Kingdom to the other. But thlS bas now been rendered a matter of extreme ease and al 0 great eoonomy. I feel ~onfident that yon will agree with me, when you have heard more about It-that it is one of the thulO's that require only to be known in ordei~ to insure its acceptauce throngh;ut the country. (Apphl.l:se.) Mr. Furley IS the gentleman to whom I have alluded; it is ImpOSSIble to speak of the matter in hand without alluding to him. (:Applau~e.) You have .bo~n asked here, I admit, specially at my instigatl?n to lIsten to a de crJptlOn or the work from 1fr. Furley himself. You WIll hear from Mr. Furley al1 that it is e sential to know about his inventions, and the method or spl:eadmg tbis admirable work. 111'. Furley is the ollir person who has a rIght to speak on the ma.tter, and it is because I desne, you to :'egard him as a representative man, that I entreat your special attentlon to h~s remarks. To those wbo do not know Mr. Furley, I would recommend hlm as one or the most ingenious, persevering, laborious, unselfish men I k:IOW. (Applause.) His enormous experience, gained through five campaIgns, I believe, and great campaigns, in which he was exposed to every po sible danger, enables him to know more about the mo~e of tran p~rt of sick and wound ed people than any living man. l!e is not a medlcal man, but I think the least the Oollege of Physicians or S,urge?ns ought to do af ter all he bas d one for the medical profe sioD, is to give, hlm an ~onol'ary diploma, (Hear, hear,) Well, ladies and gentlemen, I t~ll1k that 1S all I need to say to you on the snbj ect, excepting to ask you to .ltsten to J\fr, Furley's rema.rk , and to add double or treble to anytltltl,g he mny s~y of himself, because he is so apt to slnr over his own m~l'lts that he mIght not tell yon:111 he ought to t ell. (Hear and Applause.) Wlth these few words I beg to introduce Mr. Fnrley. ~R. FURLEY, whowas received with applause, said-Sir Edward Sieveking. !tIdies, and gentlemen,-The kind words-the too kind words-with which Sir Edward ::jieveking has alluded to me have placed me to-day in a much more prominent po ition than I should have chosen for myself. He has told you how closely I am identified with thii:l particular branch of our work, and I am l~roud to admit it. Perhaps, he is J'ight in saying that I ought to gIve the hcts connected with this work. because there is n,obody else present w110 could do so from such intimat e personal expenence: I hope to be very brief, but at the same time to put before you some Interestmg facts connected with this undertaking, and in doing so I fear, I cannot avoid appearing som ewhat egotistical. Well, gentlemen, It may uot be known to some in this 1'0001 that since the SL John Ar;nbulance Association was fonnded, during the greater part of the tIme, I have held the position of Honorary Director of the Stores Departmellt. The other branch or wor s for which we

6 are specially met to-day is 80 closely conneoted with this Departmen.t that I cannot well separate them. I may tell you that in the early days of the Assooiation we used to purchase our stretohers from the Army Stores, at Woolwioh. But we found that these were not only too expensive for us, but too heavy. Then we adopted a Frenoh patt~rn, which was inexpensive, but too light and fragile. Tha~ led us to consIder how far we oould improve on the stretohers and mtroduoe ou,r own pattern. Well, we did 80, and since] 879 we have man~factured and Issued 1244 stretohers of our own pattern. Then we found It necessary to apply: wheels to the stretchers. Men were not aJways to be found oapable of carrying the stretohers properly, 9r the distance .might be too great. Therefore, we invented and adopted a wheeled ltt~er. Th.e St. John Ambulance Assooiation had not under its control that lItter whlCh belonged more partioularly to the Order of St. John, .and whi?h is known as the Neuss-Manley Litter. We introduced a htter whlCh takes our 0:v n stretoher, and that is a great advantage; the stretohers are made WIth plain or telescopio handles, and all of these are interohangable, and fit on the same two-wheeled hand carriaO'es. We had considerable encouragement from Sir Thomas Orawford a;d the Army Medical Department, and, indeed, from the commencement we have had the most generous support from the medical profession. (App lause.) We adapted our two-wheel litter to the regulation pattern stretcher of the Arm'y. Tha~ :would nO.t be of much use on the field, but it is of considerable use In the mIhtarystatlOns at home. We have also adapted it to the navy cot for the Admira.1ty-s~ that an invalid in a oot when a ship arrives,can be disembarked and ImmedIately put on one of these two-wheeled litters, and taken to the hospital. Of ~hese " Ashford" litters we have manufaotured and sold 282 ; of horse carnages up to the present time we have manufactured and sold, 32. It occasionally happened that people came here to borrow stretchers, and .this led us to think of keeping one always for the servic9 of the pnblw. Wb~n ~e applied the stretcher to an under-carriage with wheels, we fo~nd It s~.lll more useful for this purpose. We went on in this way for some tIme, uutil I felt the absolute necessity of having something to be drawn by a horse. The distances became too great for our men, I, thererore, had made a horse am bulance carriage, which I lent to the Association. I admit it was or rather a primitive description, compared with what we build now; but a little later, our friend, Oapt. Dallas, made us a handsomfl present of a horse carriage to take three stretchers, so we were fairly set up with material necessary for the transport of invalids. (Applause.) It must be distinctly understood that we cannot undertake to convey persons suffering from infectious diseases, and whenever a doubt arises on this subject, Wd ask for a medical certificate. From the first I was assisted by a man, who is s(;i11 in this building working for us, and whom I continue to regard as one of our most useful helpers, I refer to Mr. Jackson; but as he had charge of the stores he could not always be spared. Fortunately I was able to put ~y hand on a suitable man at Margate. I knew the interest he took 111 Ambulance work, having given instruction to him and others at Margate some years a,go, and thus gained a knowledge of his zeal and ability, and when I suggested to him that he should come here, he immediately cam~ ; and Mr. Brasier is still with us, every day making himself more u seful 111 this department. (AppJause.) Personally, I am very much indebted ~o those who sbew a willingness to help UB, and amongst them I WIll mention Mr. Knott, a volunteer, who is always ready to give us assistance. Originally, our intention was to confine this transport work rather to the poor, and to persons of sman means, but you, gentlemen, know better than I can tell you that the people who most require Buch assistance are not so much the poor, who generally remain where they faU ill, unless they are taken to the hospital, but the rich who, when invaliqed~ ar~ more disposed for change and petter ~ble to alforq it than the

7 poor. They have more inclinati~m to travel ; whe~her it is absolutely necessary or nO.t I do not pretend to Judge, but we are very glad the rich do COme to us,,£or It en~bles us to make our little organisation more self-supporting than It otherWIse. would be. No doubt I shall leave a great deal of ground uncovered on WhICh I ought to speak, but any question that gentlemen li~e to ~sk me afterwards I shall be happy to answer. (Hear, hear.) The dIfficultIes we h.ad to contend with arose chiefly from a cause common to many ?ther undertaklDgs-~amely., want of funds. With the best feelings towards It, the Oentral Oommlttee of the St. John Ambulance Association had no sum of money they could give to our small sub-committee to utilise for this branch of work. 'llhey ga:ve us every enc?uragement ~orally that they could, an~ later, when better ab.le to afford It, some peculllary assistanc~, hut had It not been that Oapta.m Dallas presented us with a horsecarna.ge, we shoul~ ha":,,e bee?- in an impecunious state long ago. This questIOn of funds IS stIll a dIfficulty, but it is not one that troubles us much. We know that if we ~ave the patronage of the medical profession we shall soon ~ake the InvalId Transport branch self-supporting without help fro,m outSIde. (Applause.) In 1885 another carriage was added to our l'ollmg-stock, thanks to the Oentral Oommittee of the Association' ~ third carriage has been put on the road quite recsntly, and I hop~ 111 ~he course of ~ few weeks to be able to say that this vehicle, fully egUlpped, and WIth our first set of harness, has been paid for out of the I;rofit ~rom the b~zaar held at Willis' Rooms last year. (Applause.) The Uommittee has gLven us every assistance with reO'ard to coach-houses and o I am happy to say a piece of land has been found adjoining this Gate: and I hope before the autumn we shall have O'ood coach-houses if not stables also upon it. (Ileal', hear.) I think, perhaps, themostintere'stinO' part of my duty to-day will be to give examples or such cases as wt have had also borne idea of the manner in which patients are removed. and as to th~ cost of. doing it, because that is a most important item, I have before me a very 111complete list ~f members of the medical profession who have asked us to. remove patIents ror ~h?m, but I may mention that amongst them are SIr James Paget, Lr WIllIam McOormac, Sir IIenry Ackland, Mr. Mack~IJar, Dr. Maclag~n, Mr. E. Owen, Dr. Holman (Reigate), Mr. Uantlie (Oharmg Oross Hospltal), Dr. Rowe (Margate), Dr. White (Margate), Mr. Thornton (Margate), Dr. Frank (Oannes), Dr. Aldridge (Southampton), Mr. Oarter (Chelmsford), Dr. Bloxam, IT. Eccles, Dr. J. F . Woods, and Dr. Fenton Jones. I am also happy to say we have ~ot o~ly carried patients for eloctors, but we have had several cases m WhICh doctors have shown their confidence ill us by askino us to carry them~elv~s when ill. Only the day berore yesterday w~ removed a doctor s WIfe to Dunstable. I have before me a list of all the cases. I do !10t propose to read it in extenso, but will quote some of the cases. One IS the case of a poor girl who was living at ReiO'ate. HavinO' said she w~)Uld rather be a month in London with her mothe~ than a year at Reigate wl.thout her, the doctor gave his consent to her beiRO' moved althouO'h- he saId flhe was in a most precarious state. We were tl1en quite new to the work, but two of us went down to Reigabe, takino a litter in the lugO'aO'e o vR.n.. We m.oved the girl. from her cottage in the covered litter, and p~t her lUtO a thtrd-class carnage-we generally find that stn,tion masters in such cases are willing to have a compartment reserved without charO'inO' as Lhey have a right to do, for four or six seats. Ou arriving in Lo~do~; we whe(z)led. the patient up to Devonshire Street, Portland Place, and plac~d her III bed on the third floor of R. house where her mother was lodglllg. ':(1he total charge, including the railway tickets fol' the girl, her mothe.r, and the men, was 3Us.-that was aU wo asked the lady who had kmdly undertak-en to pay. (Applause.) Then we had a case from London to Oroydon ; this was a poor person, anel we took her all the way by road to Oroydon for £2. rrhere was the case of a distinguished O

statesman who was brouO'ht from Oannes to London on one of OBI' stretchers arranged as a bed. Dr. Frank has one of the. "Ashio::d" litters :1t Oa.nnes and this was used from the house to the raIlway statlOn. '1'he patient was'then ramoved on the stretcher and put into t~e train. On his arrival at Oalais he was conveyed to the steamer, and carned from the steamer to the train at Dover; we met him at Oharing Oross Station with a horse ambulance carriaO'e. He was not even in his clothes, but remained all the way in bed, fr~m Oannes to his house in London. We .had a case from London to Maidstone in which the litter was used. The patIent was !;ufferinO' from a fractured leg, and the charge was 30s. In a case from MarO'ate to N flath, a carrying-chair was used throughout the journey. Later,;'e had the case of an officer in the Guards, .who had meb with a hunting accident, and whom we removed from Wmdsor to London. That time we had only an Ambub.nce wagon; now we have vehicles which cannot be dis tinguished from private omnibusses. Iu thiB particular case the wagon was u sed a~d the gent~ema~'s mother. accompanied him. We never, if we can h elp It, pu~ a p~tl?n~ 10 a carnage on a truck on account of the oscillation, espeCially If It IS at the end of a train where it O'enerally must be if we are not starting from a terminus. We prefer to p~t the patient in all ordinarl compartm~nt or .saloon, according to the wishes and means of the patIent. On thIS occaSlOn the waO'on was put on a truck which was placed, throu~h the influence of a dir~ctor in the middle of the train, and I must admit there was no serious oscillati~n; but if the truck had b~en at the eud of the train, I would not have taken the responsibility of leaving the invalid in the carriage upon it. We also had a case from Netley to London, a serious spinal case, which some gentlemen connected with the army, who are present, may remem.ber. An officer had been on his back at N etley for several monto s, and he was remnved to a house at Clapham. I sh')uld mention that, as far as possible, we make the stretcher a part of the carriage thaL it is put into. We never suspend the stretcher if the carriage has good springs. If a doctor is present and says it must be suspended, we follow his instruction and he is responsible; but from our own experience we never suspend the stretcher. I r emember when we were having our first h orse - ambulance carriage built for London, I t01d Sir Thomas Longmore about it, and he said, "Whatever yon do, make your stretcher as much as p ossible a part of the carriage," and we have always adhered to that rule. On this uccasion we bad a distinguish ed officer iu the carriage, and he said he thought he should prefer the stretcher to be suspended. I said, "All.cight," and h e saw it suspended. 1 knew wh3.t would follow. I had provided mys eH with plenty of rop l3, and the officer I refer to, having been in the n avy, fortunately knew how to use it. We h'1d not gone more than five miles befor e he said, (' We must alter this;" the smp ension. was done away with, the stretcber was fixed, and the pa.tient wa3 th ·m quite comfortable. (Hear, hear,) Another removal was from Portsmouth to London . We m et a ship on its arrival from Egypt and moved an officer, who had lost a leg, to Loudon. Our charge for going down to Portsm ou th, carriage and men in London, &c., was three guineas. (Applause,) Then there was a lady moved from Reigate to London by road. In this ca.se the doctor prefe rred we should not attemp t the rail. so we sent a carriage. horses, and m en by rail, drove to the house, an i moved this lady tJ Kensington. The cost in that case was ten guineas; the chief item of expense being the iournay by rail to Reigate. You cannot always judge from these fi g ures ex actly, b ecau"e sometimes people give a little more than they are asked to give. The lady in qucgtion was the sister of a member of the present Government, and the family behaved liberally to us. (Hear, hear.) Some months ago a lady wished to be taken to Oannes. I may mention that during the last month we assisted to move three invalids to the Riviera. In this partic 'l lar case I was not

quite ~ure how we could manage the journey comfortably, and I undertook to go as far as Oalais with the lady, who had to stay one night at the" Lord Warden," at Dover. She was removed in one carriaO'e via Waterloo StatiON, from Bournemouth to Dover and I went acro~8 the Ohannel with her and sa~ her settled in a cO~tpe-lit-toilette. The lady wanted very much to remam on her own stret sher, but we did not think she could do so, because the cabins are generally very small and the doors narrow. Wben we arrived at Dover, and I saw the cabin which had been engaged-for they vary in size-I telegraphed for one of our stretchers with telescopic handles, and I was able to diminish the width of it without disturbing the invalid,. and by that means get her through the door and on to the couch; Without that she could not have used her cabin. From the experience thus gained, I was confirmed in the belief that in future we could manage to take any invalids desirous of going to the South or bring them from the South. (Hear, hear.) Of course, we should not mind sending men to Oannes, Nice, or Mentone to take invalids or bring them back, but we do not consider that it is necessary to incur the expe?-se. because~ in going out, as soon as we get invalids to Boulogne or OaJa.ls t~ey rernam on one of our couches and go straight away to their des.tmatlOn, and there are doctors and plenty or persons who can give aSSIstance, and who know how our stretchers and litters are worked. At Oannes ,Dr. ~rank has one of our litters, and this he is always ready to lend to lllvahds. We had one case from London, via Holyhead and Dublin to Queenstown, which was a difficult one, and a trial to Mr. Brasier's ingenuity. A GENTIJmAN: Was that a case of injury? MR. FURLEY: No; a spinal case. A nobleman had to be removed to the ~eighbourhood of Oundle-a. case in which money was very little object; III fact, we went part of the way down by special train. In no case, no matter what might be the rank of the individual, should we incur greater expense than necessary. It was no t necessary fo1' us to send a horse-carriage to Oundle. if an omnibu that would take our stretcher could be found there. In this instance the family ha.d a large private omuibus in tbe e, tablishment, so that the case was mana.ged on our part for very little money. We took a poor patient from LOlldon to P embroke Dock, and a man of high social position from London to 'Ves tgate. The latLer was livillg in Belgrave Square. I saw the gentleman in his bed and I said ,: If you take my advice, yon will not have a saloon, but a second class carriage." A second is better than a first-class, because there are 110 obstructions on the seat of the former. 'Ve m oved him from London to Westgate, inclLlding railway fares and horse carriages in London and W estgatc, for seven guinea ', There was a removal from DalsLon to Brighton, and another, a boy, was moved from one of the royal keepers' lodges at Bagshot to London. We sent down ~ litter, and wheeled him two miles along the road to the railway station, and brought him to 'Va.terloo, and thence in a horseambulance carriage to the London Hospital. The inclusive charge for this removal was three guineas. I have referred to three invalids who were removed in "B'ebruary to the South of France. One was a gentleman, one a lady of title, alld one the wife of a gentleman known to a great many in this room. We bave a chair downstairs which I should like anyone interested in the subject to inspect, because it is the last thing I have introduced in the way of transport material. We found it necessary to have a carrying chair. In this chaIr (which was built, on my suggestion, by Mr. Ward. of Tottenbam Oourt Road), an invalid can be moved to the :ailway station, wbeeled d.own the platform and lifted into a carriage, and, If necessary, travel right across Europe iu it. Of course, one could not remain in a sittin~ position during the whole journey, but when required, the occupant can be gently lowered into a recumbent position, and the

chair can be used as a bed. I saw the lady I have just mentioned off from Victoria Station, under Mr. Brasier's charge; he accompanied her as far as Calais, and put her into a coupe-lit.ioiZeite-and she remained in that cbair till she arrived at ber hotel at Cannes. She says tbat without it she does not believe she would have got to Cannes at all. Of course, we are obliged to meet cases as they arise, and to adapt our material to cbanging circumstances. There was a case the other day of a nobleman (for obvious reasons I do not mention names) whom we removed from London to Brighton. He took my advice and bad a second· class compartment. The cost of the journey, from Albemarle Street to Brighton inclusive, was £3 lOs. 6d. That was a case in which the patient was not very sensitive to pain, and we did not hesitate to do as we had done before. We telegraphed to a job-master to meet us at the station with an omnibus, which we knew would take our appliances, and the nobleman went very comfortably in the way described. Had it been a more delicate case we must have sent down a carriage or a litter with India-rubber tyres, but wherever we can avoid that expense we do so, If invalids do not object to the litter, they can travel very comfortably upon it. One was recently sent to a gentleman, who insisted on going through Odord without the cover on it. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I have mentioned some of the cases we have had, but they are only a few of a very long list. I have omitted to mention that when we began the work in September, 1883. between that date and December of the same year we had 11 cases; in 1884, we moved 78 cases; in 1885, 167 cases; in 1886, 219 cases; and in the first quarter of this year we have moved 45 cases, that is 17 more than we moved in the same period last year. (Applause.) Before I sit down, I should like to say one thing. Sometimes people make a mistake and imagine this to be an ambulance station, and that we are prepared to run out at a moment's notice. We do not pretend to do that at present. I only wish we were strong enough for th~ purpose. But we require and look for certain notice; at the same time if an accident happens and anyone applies to us, and we possibly can help without ~elay, we do it. Two days ago a telegram arrived from Dr. Eccles, of Kensmgton, for men and a stretcher, and he wrote yesterday a letter acknowledging the promptness with which the men arrived and the admirable way in which they handled his patient. (Applause.) They took a canvas cover, which I think is very important for street work. It conceals a patient from head to foot, and thus avoids that exposure to the gaze of the public, which is frequently annoying to an invalid and unpleasant to passers-by. I hope I have made myself intelligible on this matter. (Hear, hear.) We are a very small corps; there are only three or four of us, remember. We endeavour to meet all the invitations we receive from members of the medical profession to transport invalids, who require our assistance, and I think, considering bow small a body we are we may be a little proud of the amount of work that has been done. {Hear, hear.) But it rests with the medical profession to decide whether we shall be able to develop and extend our operations as we wish to do. I am sure it is the desire of the members of the Central Oommittee of the Association to belp us financially as far as they legitimately can Ido; but it is by the patronage of me~b~rs ?f the medical. profession at large that we hope soon to make our mstltutlOIJ. self-supportmg. We are often asked to assist in the removal of invalids ~or little and sometimes for nothing, and we always endeavour to me.et the Clrcumstances of those who apply to us. Whether our patrons be. nch or P?or, we always act as well as we possibly can, and as economlCally, whlCh I consider a very important point. (Applause.) SIR J. RISDON BENNETT moved: "Th!1t. the members of the medical profession now present are strongly "of opmlOn that a proper system for the transport oE invalids in London " and throughQut the country is very desirable."

SIR RISDON said :-The only reason for my intruding mysel£ upon this meeting is that you asked me to appear here, Mr. Obairman, and I was anxious to testify my appreciation of the Association's work in connection with these matters, and my conviction that it is of extreme importance that its opera.tions should be known throughout the country and especially by medical men. The resolution I propose does not want any laboured elucidation, for it simply affirms what everyone present is ready to state. (Hear, hear.) There cannot be two opinions on the subject. My only regret is that the appliances which are used by this Association, and which have been rererred to are not ,isible-shown to us in this room. There isjusL a single observation I should like to make, and that is, as to the propriety of making it available ror use in private houses-if this is not done already-for the purpose of moving sick persons from one floor to another. (Hear, hear.) Our London houses are very inconvenient to people not in strong health, though they may not be invalids, and I know or nothing to meet the requirements in this respect, except the very elaborate and expensive chairs which are only procured in the case of an extreme invalid, when it is absolutely necessary to move him or her. I am sure in a great many houses, people would be glad to have a cheap and conveuient stretcher, such as has been mentioned. (Hear, hear.) I need say no more. You have heard enongh to show you what is the character of the Institution, and what good it bas already done. (Applause.) SIR WILLI.i~1 MACCORllAC, in seconding the resolution, remarked: I am surp- this meeting will accept this resolution, which I have the pleasure or seconding. I think the account we have heard from Mr. Furley is most interesting. (Ileal', hear.) The greate t possible thanks are due to him for the good work he has done, and the account he has given us of its points to still grea,ter u efulness in the future. The work is of the greate~t interest. 'l'he n,mount of dama,ge clone to sick l1nd wounded persons by the want of efficient tran port is not to be calculated. In America they have developed a sy 'tem oE transport, but we have not attempted it in this country a,ny way, and I think this movement in connection with the St. John Ambulance Asso~iation will prove the germ of a still greater movement in tbe same direction in the future. 1£ adequa,te means for transporting the sick are placed at tbe di posal of physicians and surgeons by this Association, certaiIJly a great public and philanthropic act will have been accomplished. In the meantime we must all appreciate in the highest degree what Nr. Fudey has done, and I am sure no branch of the community will appreciate it more than the members of the medical profession. (Applause.) Therefore I have much pleasure in seconuing the resolution. The Ohairman put the resolution to the meeting and it was carried unauimously. SIR Tnmas CRA.WFORD, Director-General A.N.D., in moving the next resolution, said :-It is a matter of great gratification to me to be entrusted with a resolution, and to be able to sn,y in presence of this assembly wbat is being done, as weH as to allude to what has been done by this branch of the St. John Ambulance Association. 'Ve, in the army, appreciate perhaps more keenly than civilians do, the work that has to be done in the field. Whether in time of peace or war, we all know what the St. John Ambulance Association bas achIeved in putting the pnblic in possession of some knowledge of this very importaut subject; bm up to the time that Mr. Furley took up tho question of the Ambulance and its use in civil ~ire, the civil population or this country know very little of what was reqUIred on what we in military phrase, call "lines of communication"-that is the link between the place where one may be injured or rall sick and the place to which it is necessary in the interest of that person to be transported.

12 (Hear, hear.) I have watched with great interest what b~s been d~ne in this direction by the Association. I nave seen all the applIances designed and put into execution by Mr. Furley, and many ot?ers, ~t the Health Exhibition and other places. We have known the drfficultles ~hat are to be encountered in such labour, and it is to me a matter of s~rpnse .to fi~d that so many of our difficulties have been met by the applmnces III thIS house. (Applause.) Three of them appear on papers ~ bold.i n J?Y hand, and I do not think any of them caR be exceeded e~ther m lIghtness, comfort, efficiency, or cheapness. For all these we are III a great measure indebted to the ingenuity, the skill, and the persevel~ance of !dr. Furley himself. (Applause). In stating this I have only sald what IS perfe?tly well-known to many with regard to the appliances; but when we. consIder the success which has attended his attempt to adapt these applIances to cases that have heretofore been practically immovable we may congratulate this great Association in having had a hand iu doing so good .a~1d u.sefnl a work, and congratulate Mr. Furley on the past, and by antlClpa.tlOn, on future success which must be much greater than that already a?hleved,. as Boon as the public, and the medical profession, are made. acquamted wIth what he has done. (Applause). I am addressing an audience the weatel' part of whom can appreciate, as well as I can, the success whICh has attended the efforts I have alluded to, and it is hardly necessary for me to detain them by any arguments calculated to indu.ce ~hem. to accepu the resolution I am now going to propose. The resolutlOn IS thIs; " " " "

"That this meeting has confidence in the organisation for the car.ri~ge of invalids, which was initiated by the St, John Ambulance AssoClatlOn and pledges itself to use every endeavour to extend and develop the work of usefulness which has now been in operation for nearly four years."

The point at which we have arrived is to express a strong desire that the merit of this work should be published very extensively, and that the evidence adduced to-day will be published, so that the public may know how, when and where to avail themselves of the great advantages offered to them at St. John's Gate. When that has been done, we need have no doubt whatever of the success of the institution itself, nor of the rapid initiation of branches an over the country in connection with this grandson of the Association, rivalling in snccess the earlier branch, with the work of which we are all so familiar. (Applause.) DR. R. FARQUlJARSON, M.P., seconded the resolution. He !Said; I am sure if anyone present had any lack of confidellce in the inventions for the carriage of invalids it has been effectually removed by the c1ear and comprehensive description of Mr. Furley of the work in which he has been engaged, shewing the efficiency as well as economy with which he is able to move patients. I hope that his light may be induced to shine out more prominently than before. The question is what can be done to develop and extend this work. I do not know whether we could not do something in the way of West End meetings to popularize it. (Hear, hear.) Or if you were to take one of these carriages to Charing Cross with the great material we have, the eloquence of those interested i.n the Association, and the support of the medical profession should enable us to popularize it. I think the charities of the country are going to traverse a period of great trial. The word " Jubilee') passes through our minds, and we feel that this Jubilee movement will be detrimental to the charities of London. Violent efforts are being made-I do not mean to say they are not properly made-on behalf of the Imperial Institute and other things apart from the charities of London; and the charitable institutions will have to do all they can to promote their special objects of benevolence in the coming year. I hope means will be devised by which we shall be able to

13 popularize this movement by meetings in the West End of London and elsewhere. (Applause.) MR. R. DA.vY spoke as follows; I am glad to have had an opportunity of attending this meeting in order to testify to the really excellent work done by this Association; more particularly in its relationshin with Mr. John Furley. As a hospital surgeon, I have been brought into contact with a great deal of sickness, and I could not help being impressed, since 1875, with the great loss of life attendanb upon the want of proper communication between the patient's home and the hospital. We have not come here to advocate any special way of removing patients, but to affirm the broad principle that it is right and proper that the publie should be made cognizant of the advantage of this branch of the St. John Ambulance Association. There is one point on which I may be allowed to make a personal remark, and that is in reference to suspension. I have endeavoured as strictly as t possibly can to follow anything said against it, but my experience tells me that suspended parts are extremely free from being injured. That is aU I will sayan that point. In the event of an accident happening to us in the Loudon streets we have here an opporuunity of being conveyed either to our own houses or to a hospital. I think amongst the rich there has been a certain apathy in this matter, buL in reference to the poor, they are trained in the event of accident to commit themselves to the care of the police, and so are conveyed to the hospital. I t?ink it is n~cessary for this society to be known. W ~ see: advertIsements III the .medICal ~apers of all sorts of appliances for mvalIds, and.I ha.ve made 1~ my b?sm~ss to see everyone of them; but not one advertlsed m the medICal prmts IS :vort~y the name of an invalid carriage. If anyone wants to see an mvahd carriaae and requires a thorough knowledge of the subject, I strong1y recom~end him to pay a visit to 111'. John !urley, at St. John's Gate,.and see how be has fitted himself, so to speak, mto every corner of the subject. (Hear.) It has given me great pleasure to come here and have t~enty minutes' chat with Mr. John Furley, and see how he adapts hImself to the wants of the people in relation to transport. Mr. Chairman, I think you have done good service in br~giDg t~g~ther so many hospi~al physicians and suraeons. We, as hospItal adml111strators, are far behmd the times. 'rVe do ~ot ai ve that attention to Ambulance matters that we ought to. 'W ithout beinaoirreverent, I will point to one verse in St. Luke b~ar iug on this point. nl'hat ~ingle verse .c~ntains the sum total. of hospItal discipliue. When a certam man was lDJur~d, ~he good Sam,anta;-t went to him and bound up his wounds and pou:-ed III 011 .and gave hIm wme; t~en he set hi m on his own beast and took hlm to an mn and took care of hIm. N ow, there is not at present, except by means of this Association, a single means whereby patients can be conveyed comfortably and safely-upless they come to this Associatiou, or tmst themselves to the tende,r ~erCl~s of the ever-willing ca,b-(a lauglt)-a?d you h,ave done g.ood servICe m brmgin(y this matter before the prOfeSSlOl1. If, m concluslOn, I may venture to th~ow out a hint, I would strongly advise this Societ:y to a·dvertise in the medical papers-not week by week, but, .say, twelve tHl?-es per annum-so that this Society may not l?se touch Wlt~ the pro.fesslOn. (Hea~, hear.) N a people are so closely in mtercourse WIth the slCk, .and suffermg, and distressed, than the members of our own worthy professlOn. MR. EDl\IUND OWEI't, being invited by the Ch~irman. to sp~ak, said-I am extremely glad, sir, that you have taken the chaIr ~t thIS ~ee~m~ and that we have had this valuable address by Mr. Furley. ThIS AssoClatlOn IS n?t known as it ouaht to be' indeed I have constantly urged our modest fnend Mr. Furley to adverti~e more,' and I unde,rstan~ t,hat ~e is advertis~ng in ~he medical press-the advertisement bemg dlstmgUlshed .by the lIttl? whIte cross of St. John of Jerusalem. But I think a somethmg more might be

14 done by all of us to popularise the transport movemen t. on being put was carried unanimously.

Tho resolution

MR. FURLEY : Replying to a remark that hu.s fanen from Sir Risdon Bennett, I beg to sta.te that thero is a man with a stretcher outside, and he will be glad to show it to any la.dy or gentleI?an. ~n reference to the Jubilee funds, mentioned by Dr. Farquharson, It may mterest you to know that quite recently r have bee~ ask~d to have manul'actured fiv.e" J u~ilee Ambulance Oarl'iaO'es." One IS gomg to the Southern Hospltal, Llvorpool, and the othe~s are being built for .South:am'p~on, Birmingham and Finchley; these are to be paid for by pl'lvate mdlvlduals, ar;td presonted for the benefit of their respective towns. I have also recOlvod a letter asking if I will give a design and estiI?ate for an ambulance carriage, which is to be the Jubilee gift of worklllg men to the town of Loeds. (Hear, hear.) Sm EDMUND LECllMERE moved a vote of thanks to the Ohairman. He said-As Ohairman of the Oommittee of the St. John Ambulanoe Association, I have great gratification in seeing before us so distinguished a body of medical men, coming, as they have, to show their interest in this movement genern.lly, more especially with that department over which Mr. John Furley so ably presides. It is a pleasure to me for many reasons to be bere to-day. For one reason it enables mo to contribute to a recognition of the merits of Mr. Furley. I have admired for some years the extreme patience and perseverance and anxiety which he has displayed in prosecuting his studies and experiments for his tellow men. I cannot help thinking the time has nOw come when we should remove the bushel from the light which has been somewhat obscured, and it will be an excellent thing if, through the influence which you, Mr. Ohairman, and others possess, this work of his should be made better known throughout the meftropolis and the country. The medical profession have frequent opportunities of making such valuable aid better known among their patients, und I am sure Mr. FurIey will be delighted to supply to every medical man throughout England a. card stating the mode and terms by which it can be obtained. (Hear, hear.) I think that could be done at once, and I think it will be far better than any advertisement in papers. People are more likely to be led by the counsel of their medical attendants in a matter of this kind than by anything else. Speaking as a member of the Order of St. John, I may say it is with great pleasure we welcome this distinguished body here to-day. From my first experience of the Order, I have been most anxious that the medical profession should be identified with it. We have had the advantage for many years at our meetings of the presence of our Ohairman, as well as oE other members of his profession. By a law of the Association we have no business to trespass beyond certain limibs, and in all questions of doubt and difficulty we go to the medical profession. I move a most hearty and cordial vote of thanks to the Ohairman, not only for calling us together to-day and presiding, but, in the name of the Order of St. John, for his persistent efforts to help us in the work and the good advice he has always given us. (Applause.) Sm JA1l1ES HA.NBURY spoke as follows: I have great pleasure in seconding the resolution proposed by Sir E. Lechmere, and, in doing so, dosire to say that I am quite sure the public, and the medical profession particularly, are especially indebted to the Oha.irrnan ror calling this meeting together, because it will help, as has been said by previous . speakers, to popull1rise this movement throughout the country, and very few movements require popularising more than this rrransport Ambulance movement. (Hear, hear.) I was glad to hear allusion made to the excellent services of Mr. John Furley, not only in regard to this branch, but in the ambulanco

movement genomlly. I think Mr. John FLlrley may be regarded Hot only as the gmndf>Oll, but as the pn.l'Cllt, tho son, and gralldsou of this movem?nt. 110 ha~ been th~ head and feOltL ot this extension. I III ways entertalne~ th~ notLOn that It wOllld b3 to tho advantage of pupils if your ol'galUsaLLOtl and the Ambulanco Association amalgamated-Lhat tbe pupils of tho t.wo should co-oporu.to and work together. I hope this great moveme~lt Will extend througho~lt tho three kingdoms .. Thoro is no subject on whlch the people are m?re Ignot'n.nt, u,nd the osLabltSlhment of depots is a greu,t moans of Spreu,dlllg knowlodgo amongst UJom. With these few remarks I beg to socond the l'o.::lolution, and heartily to endorse the reo marks that have been mlldo. The motion having boen carriod, 1'1f~ OIlAIRlIIA.N sllid: I beg to thank you very much. I am dolighted Lhltt so mn.ny gontlemen havo tn,kon Lho trouble to como here.

By its means life may be rea::1ily saved in ice accidents without any risk to the person employing it, and when the ice is not sufficiently strong to bear the huma.n weight.

It consists of a wooden ball to which a metal axle and a few yards of rope are attached, and this may be easily projected, even by women, to anyone in danger of clrownin~; ; or w her8 the piece of water is not too broad, it may be bowled from shore to shore, and the rope thus drawn across the surface and put within reach of the person in peril.

UUllllllitteo of the Briti .. h Ophthallllie HosI ital at JCl'll!-4alc.:m in . llulllitting tboir :Fifth Annual Report, cannot 1mt feel a very justifiaule prido, which will as. llredly be .hnrecl uy all ub 'criller' anll Supporters of the Institution, a:-:; well as by lHemb'r8 of the Orelcr generally, in the exceeclincrly gruti(ying n~cor 1 of the pa:-:;t year's work. r\'ac1ually, but 'urely, the eli , tru.'t or inllitference with which such an Institution lllll. t at first have been rocei ved by those for who. e b nefit it was chiefiy promoted, ha. di.'appeare(l, anel the ever-increasing attenclul1ce of Patient from all part '. of the Holy Land, antl beyond-now numbered, even in tho e spar ely populatod district. , by thou. ands annually-ant] the gratitllde which eV'l1 the poorest evince for the benefits conferred, prove beyond di. pute that its conception was as wise as it was humane, and indicate that at no llistant clate thi E ,tabli hment of the Order of ·'t. John of JerLF'alelll in England, will become one of the most beneficial and truly repre entati vo works with which its name has been, in modern time' at least, associated. It canllot be denied that the distance of the Ho pital from the .. phere of other humalliturian work., which command the sympathy und support of the charitable publir., militatos strongly against its r ceipt of the neces. ary support, but it is hoped that tirne will do lllLlch to remove this difficulty, for o[1ch year a larger numbcr 0[' visitor.' i:-; beino' utLL'actc(1 uHcl illtel'e~ted b ' thc vast o alllOunt of good beiug donc at the Hospital, amI pul,lic.:iLy lllU:-;t follow.

5 Meantime, the Committee cannot but feel that these facts should be an incentive to increa::;ed exertion: that many hitherto ignorant of the amount of work done, or indifferent to its results, may be induced to take a warmer interest in such a merciful and successful movement, and that !Iembers of the Order especially will identify themselves more generally and closely with a work which has already revived the ancient prestige of the Order on the scene of its foundation, and will, the Oommittee feds assured, eventually do still more to add to the high reputation of the Order in this country. The Report of Dr. Ogilvie, the Resident Surgeon In charge, anel the testimony of Sir Edmund and Lady L echmere and others, who have recently visited the Ho pital, will, it is believed, prove that these views are not by any means too sanguine.

THE REPORT IS AS FOLLOWS :" During the year past 3012 new Patients have been treated at the Dispensary, and 12-:b have been admitted into the Ho, pital. The total number of Consultations has heen 17,052, being an increase of 3590 over last year. There have been 329 operations performed, great and small. The major operations incluele 35 for extraction of cataract, 37 for making a new pupil to take the place of the original one which was closed, 3 cases where it was necessary to excise the whole eye, etc. The result has been very satisfactory, a complete cure having been obtained in 311 cases, and in only five has there been no benefit whatever. In "Crushing Granulations," the result has been extremely gratifying. I adopted this new pJan immediately after I read the notice of it in the Lancet. I have not had a single bad result and by its means cases have been cured in six weeks, which would have taken eighteen months or two years by the old method. The operation for in-growing eyelashes, which I have called " Needle and Thread" in the list of operations, is, so far as I know, a new operation. It is the outcome of a discussion at the Medical Society lately re-established here. By l11.eans of a needle and thread cases are now cured which otherwise must have submitted to a painful cutting operation with knife or scissors. to feel more 0I)'ratcful for what I think the pcople arc 1J ocrinllillO' o 0

is done for them; several small presents of fruit and vegetables have been sent to tIle Hospital in the past year by patients who hael benenteel by the treatment. One case was very touching. A poor woman who had been blind for some years was admitted for operation. he left the Hospital able to see, but returned after a few day bringing with her a cucumber. It was her mite the only one she hall, and it was accepted in the same spirit i~ which it was given. Another man, who had been operated upon for cataract, came back the other day with twenty eO'()"s and a bunelle of onions as his thank-offerinO' 00 o· . It .is now a well recognized fact in Palestine that the Hospital IS domg good work; that it supplies a great and much felt want in this land where eye cli.' ease is f;0 prevalent and so destructive. Its unsectarian character is now known far beyond the boundaries of the Holy Land, and people of every faith come long dista,nces for advice. But, it is doing a work, it is exerting a far-reaching influence for gooel, such as was probably never dreamed of by its founders. I was in the ancient Ramoth Gilead in J anuarv la t. This is a small Mo 'l m town on the other side of the orclan; there are, however, a few hri ,tian. in the place. One of the. e told me a little anecdote, showing the influence of our Institution. This man with a number of Moslems had been tal kinO' toO'ether anel o 0 ' one of them gave it as his opinion, that Ohrsitianity, surely, had a wondel'ful power over believer in it, when they were willing to end men and money to e, tab1i h , uch a place a this (mentioning by name our flo.-pital) which is now acknowledgecl to exist only to do gooel. It wacl mentioned especially for the non-interference with their religion, anel for the hreaeHh ancl liberality of pirit shewn by such a work. The Institution i , hmvever, practically unknown in England, e~ 'cept to a few, anel tho work done is not publicly heard of. Time after time traYellers, who ha\Te come to see it, after witnessing anel hearing of the amount of eye di 'ea 'e, and learning how much is done here, have been surpl'i ed that they had not heard of thi!') Hospital in England,anel all expre 's thel1lsel ve with the b0'1' atest confillence as to the results of a erioLl a,ppeal to the British peoplo. But, it js fil' ,t of all tho work of the Order of St. John of ~ ~ I'USalelll, whose chief pl'iele in England llOW is to live' lJ1'o ut~lul("te liO?ni rnum.' This is properly a work of that Ordor, for it is a work l)y whieh relief i o[)'ivcn to bp'L'cat llLlLuLcr ' of 'uU:'rilJII' v 1"'

human creatures:-by which even "ight i~ given to the blind. It is an Hospitaller work, which though not done to Engli~hm c n ) yet, is second to none of the great branches of humanitarian work undertaken by the English Di vi ion of our great and famous Ord er. The perioLl of' my engagement here is nearly at an elld, and perhaps my connection with this Hospital is about to cease. I believe I have done my part. I have done it as well as I could under the circumstances, and I should like to think the "vork will continue to pl'ogress."*

The ~ommittee believe that th ey will be only interpreting the wishes of Sub.'cribers, and of the Onler generally, as vV 11 as expressing tbeir own feeling, in here placing on rcconl their high appreciation of Mr. Ogilvie's mo .. t successful professionfd work, as principal Surgeon to the IT ospital, :1nd their gratitmle for the care and skill bestowed by him upon the patients who place thomsel ves in his hands. It must be r emembered that Mr. Ogilvie is not only the professional hea(l of the Institution, but is also immelliat,eJy respon ible for its general ad mini tration, anll it is undou l)ted that to his tact anel zeal, and to the influence which he th llS exercises, as well as to hi · undoubted skill as an Ophthalmic Surgeon, tlJe SLlCGess of the Ho. pital is largely due, To him and to 11r8. Ogilvie to whom the Oommittee are al 0 indebted for most valuable and voluntary a sistance and co-operation their best thanks are offered. The record of the year's work, as reported by Mr. Ogilvie, shows how maryellously diver ifieu anu intricate are the diseases of the eye, for the special treatment of which the H ospital was founded; and when it is remembered that to this long-suffering and afflicted people, ,,,ho came in such ever increa ing numbers for relief, relief has almost invariably oe('n given, and their lives in con,'equence rendered brighter anll lllOre useful, and that at an individual co, t which fOl the gl' at !JleE'. ing of restored or improved sight must appeal' ridiculous, tho~e who have hitherto shared in the work have, inde el, cause for grati 6cation. It 'will not be uninteresting to know that a calculation ba. ell upon Mr. Ogilvie's tigures of the number of Patients, ancl our known expenditure, shows that the annual average CO.i t of each patient, taken one with another, is considerably 18S. than 5s.; each patient being seen several times; and, as statel1, of the,'e 1:Z b have been received into the Hospital, and lodged and ferl as well as professionally treated. The increase of work has renrlered it neces. ary that Mr. Ogilvie should have some skilled as;jistance, and the (ommittee accepte(l the offer of Dr. Robert W. Gillman, son of the Am erican Oonsul, to serve as Honorary Assistant Surgeon for one year. The Commitr,ee have had under consideration the RC'gulations for the Management of the Hospital, and a revise<l corl(' of Rn)cH, approved hy the Local Co 111 Illi ttec, and a(lopte<l at ,L 1\1 (,cti ng of

the Gonenll Committee held in London early in the year has ueon drawn up, and wlll it i~ hopell ClbUl'e the satisfactory conduct of the aHail'~ of the Huspital. These llule::l cnl:iure, amongst other llla.tters, the gratuitous treatment of aU ?JOOl' patients, while guarding, as far as ma.y ue, again. 't the abu"e of the 1hm'ity by those who are not indigent. Copies of these Rules were appencled to the Rc'port last lssued. The numerous alHl in many (;a~es successful appeali;; which have receutly been lllade for the sLlpport of home institutions, eitlwl' establi .. hed or projected, have rendered similar efforts on behalf of the Ll'itish Op11 thalllJic Hospital less sllccessful than 'w oull otherwise probably have boen the case, but the Meeting helfl in the J ernsalelll ~lHl,lll bel', l)y kinc1 permll), ion of the Dean of \Vestminster, on March ;30th last, and the oncert at • 'taffol'd HUllse, on June !Hh, by kill,l pel'llli .... iull of Hi!':!

A vast amount of \york, independent of consi(lel'allle personal expense, i. entailed in the promotion of all such ll1t'etings, and to Lady Lechmere, .Mrs. Furley, 1\lrs. Tys:3en Amherst, Mr.. Brudenell Carter, Mrs. Pitt Draffen, ancl otherR, who so kindly and successfully co-operated in this generous olJject, which has reRulted in an addition of over .£100 to the funus of tho Hospital, the warmest thanks of the Committee are due. The Committee also beg very gratefully to acknowledge their indebtedness to those ladies and gentlemen who so kindly gave their valuable arti. tic services on this occasion, and would especially beg to offer their best thanks to 1\liss Mary Davie. , Miss Carlotta Elliot, Miss Damian, Miss Marianne Eissler; The lion. Spencer Lyttelt0n, 1\lr. Iver McKay, Mr. W. H. Brereton, 1\lr. Ralph Livings, Mr. Clifford Harrison, Signor Tosti, Mr. A. J. Caldicott, and Mr. Frederic Cliffe; also to Sir Arthur Sullivan who kindly assisteu in the arrangement of the Concert, ancl to Messrs. Broadwoocl and Sons, who gratuitously suppliecl one of their finest concert grand pianofortes. An effort has been made, which it is hoped may prove eventually successful, to interest the leading Members of the Jewish Community in the working of the Hospital. Lord Roth. chilcl, Mr. F. D. Moccatta, Mr. Sebag Montifiore, Rev. Dr. Adler, Chief Rabbi, and others have already generously cont.cibuted to the funds, amI it is hoped that when the great relief being affonlecl to their suffering co-religionists in the Holy Land becomes more widely known, further substantial help may be forthcoming. A most gratirying and characterjstic letter, adclre .. ed hy the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem to Sir E. Lechmere, as representing the Committee of the Hospital, was presented during Sir E. Lechmere's recent visit, and fully evinces the gratitude locally felt for the benefits conferred. Copies of this letter in fac-simile, with a tran.lation verifiefl by the Rev. Dr. Adler, Chief Rabbi of London, may Le had for a trifling sum to cover co:-;t of printing, on application to the Secretary. The. Committee are glad to report that through the generosity of Miss WilBon, a lady who has already subscribed to the general fund of the Hospital, a beginning has been made to Fil:Cnre a Special Fund" for the Gordon Memorial Ward," amI th e ~l1ln of £50 has been placed to its credit with our Bankers.*

As similar donations are recei ve(l, it if) proposed to capitalize the amount, which will not be used as revenue, anu thus make an effort, to permanently .. ecure the much-needed additional beds for In-patients. The present Cash Balance at the Bankers is barely £200, and heavy expenses have still to be met during the current year. No change has happily to be recorded in the constitutjon of the COlllmittee during the past year, which it will be admitted has been one of steady progre's a .. regards the work clone. To one anc.l all who ha ve so far co-operated in the good work, satisfaction at the result of their laLours ll1U~t be even more gratifying than the thank.' which are eminently their due; lJut the COlllmittee specially desire to expre. s once again, on behalf of the ub. cribert:l, their Lest thanks to ..Mr. Amherst for his continue(l liLerality, as well as for hil'3 zealou' discharge of the (lutiel'3 of Trca 'urer; to Mr. R. Bnulenell Cartel', not only for his eminent allll valuaLle acl.vice as Honorary Consulting • 'ul'geon, Lut also fur hi, public advocacy of the Hospital, anll for pecuniary help aI'o, an(l to 11'.

The eatral ommittee cleire al. 0 to express their best thanks to Mr. Noel Tel1Jple Moore, C.M.G., Chairman, an(l to the Member anll Honorary Secretary of the Local COlllmittee at Jerusalem, for tb e val uaule co-operation and a. si ·tance at all time affol'llcll by them in the local supcrvi~ion and administration of the afiairs of the Ho pitaJ. To Sir Edmund amI Lady Lechmere ll1U t always be due the wannest thanlrs of all frienlls of the lIo pitaI. Theil' constant zeal in its welfare, and their generous anll continuou. contributions to its fUll(.1S, as well as their unceasing attention to every detail of its \vorl ing are the surest guarantees for, a..~ they have been the chief fa.ctors in, its success. The COlllmittee have all->O gratefully to acknowledge the receipt of several useful and appropriate pre onts for the Hospital, inclueling a supply of spectac1es for the paticnts by Mrs. Pitt DrafIcn, cocaine, awl an operating table by Sir E. Lechmere, and a l'cgu lar tlispatch of English daily newspaper~, and palllphlet8, etc., Ly Mr. It RL'ynolLls Rowe.

of a LETTER (in fac-simile) addressed by the Chief Rabbi in Jerusalem to SIR E. A. H. LECHMERE, BART., M.P., Vice-Chairman of the Executive Committee of the BRITISH OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL AT JERUSALEM, on the occasion of his visit to that City in October, 1886. JERUSALEM (May the Holy Oity be speedily reb uilt) the 2nd Hesvan 5646 A.WL (Co?Tesponding to Octobe?' lIth, 1886.) FROlll Zion and Jerusalem may the Lord send blessing and life to the Excellent Baronet, who pursueth virtue and loving kindness SIR EDMUND LECHlIIERE, the Lord protect him. We greatly rejoiced when we saw thee, honoured Sir, during thy visit to the mountain of Zion, for we know fun well all the k indness thou purposest doing to the in-dwellers of Jerusalem in opening for them an Eye Hospital and placing therein an experienced physician to heal the sufferings of the poor of Jerusalem. Our hearts are deeply moved with gratitude towards you honoured Sir for this good work which thou hast established, being prompted thereto solely by good-win without any reference to creed or form of faith, and without grieving the hearts of those who are stretched on the couch of suffering. N ever shall we forget this thy loving kindness. We have now heard that thou hast the intention to seek permission from our Sovereign the Sultan (May his glory increase) and to speak with the excellent Baroness Coutts with reference to the Water supply of the Holy City, so that the poor thereof may no more suffer t he pangs of thirst. What shall we say unto thee, honoured Sir, and how shall we thank thee fol' t his thy great goodness? Our tongue faileth us, adequately to express unto thee our feelings. Our prayer is offered up unto Heaven that He may recompense thy work sevenfold; that He may remember the benevolence thou exercisest towards the poor of t he H oly City, and t hat H e may bless thee and thy house for ever . Amen. This is the prayer of him who honoureth and esteemeth t hee.

The following i.' a brief sllllllllary of thL' proceeding of the Boanl of Directors for the pa. t twelve months :-

Out of the 14<00 shares forming the capital of the Company, 79-:l! have been taken up by 1\le111bers of the Oreler, includi.ng 1:30 hares by the Chapter of the Orc1 l' of St. J obn, and 200 .,hares by the Committee of the St. John Ambulance A sociation. The Board have purchased from ir Edmund A. II. Lechmer , Bart., I.P., the freehold of t. John' Gate and the public house adjoining, but as the number of share" ta,l-en up llid not atlmit of the purchase money being paid in full, .£~OOO ha, been bOl'L'owed on morto'aae at ,H per cent. from the Rev. Canon Vernon I usgru,vc, b b and ir Edmund has allowed .£3000 of the purchase money to remain on mortgage at the same intere t, the ll10rtgag es kindly ret.urning ~ per cent to a Repair' Fund. The value of the property ha. been eon illerably increasell by the purcha. e, with the part aid of £1000 pai 1 by 1\11', Gay for his new lease, of a vacant piece of land arljoinin o' the Ea.' t Towel' from :Mr. Bryant for the sum of £1200. A mall . trip of thi land not required by the Company has been re- old for £1:)0 to Messr::3. Lovell and Christmas, and on the remainder a coachhouse and stable l'eqnired by the Ambulance A:sociation j ' in proces of erection. II'. Gay has vacated the premi, es In the East Towel', tIl various rooms in which havc been placed in a state of thorongh structural and tenantable repair: the Gate preml e 'will be lea >d to the Order of St. John anrl the ~ 'to John Ambulance A.'. ociation, the former paying a rent of £100, antI the laM l' of £225. This last, however, will not be chargeable until the new buildings are erected, when it is contemplated to ask for a slight increase of rent from the Ambulance Association on account of the increased and superior accommodation provided over what was originally intended, the Board reserving the right to let a portion of the

Order of St. John amI two-thirds to th~ Ambulance As. ociation. Mr. Gay will pay hi own rate and taxes. A call of £D per share wa.' made shortly after allotment, and aU th 'hare money has be n paid up in full,

It will thus be secn that th

nts to be paill by the Order of t. John, th Ambulance As.'ociation, and ..Mr. Gay (or other, ) will protluc an income of about £-:l!50 per annum, which after the paym nt of intere t to the mortgagee, and the discharge of present liabilitie. , will allow the D irccton~ to declare the proI'
