About this it "Till only be nece ary now to state that the fact that it is an integral part of the Ord~r ,\Till not be 10 tight of. The thanks of the Order are due to ~Irs. Pitt Draffen, ~Ir . ,Vyndham Murray and Colonel Aubone G. Fifo, for their gifts of hospit1111etters to the Almonor' Department. The British Ophthahnic Ho pital at J orUSaleIll h:1s Leen put upon an improyed working basi, ancl its ll1:1nagmnent i Lnmght more directly under the control of the Order. ,Vith regard to the Hospital, the Ch:1pter-General wish to impress th:1t which has already been m:1de puLlic Ly Lord Egerton of Tatton, the Chainll:1n of the Hospital COlllmittee, in his published letter, that the Hospital requires eyery y aI', to maintain it in its present state of efficiency,:1n annual SUlll of not les than £900 and the collecting and proyiding this for the future is one of the special duties that "Till haye to fall upon the IhapterGeneral, and in which they ,,·ill require the support of the Conn:eres. In a general report, such as the present, it is impo .. ilJle to enter into details. That which is of mo. t importance to the Confreres-viz., the state of account', ,vill l)e . een from the report which -will be duly circulated with the Accounts as soun after Michaelmas as the requirements of the Alnbulance department render possible. Certain lnattor.', howevcr, cannot lJe pascd oycr in silence. Considerable changes hayo taken place in the pcrsonnel of the Order since the last Genoral .L\.sseullJly. The Order has to lament the inepar:1Lle and nnexpectec1lo 'S it has sustained by the death of the Honorary Dailifi~ Sir El ):\ICSD A. H. LECH1\1ERE, Bart., M.P. His death causes a Llank on the roll which can never be adequately filled. Becoming connected with the Ordor up-\Yflrds of twenty-nine years ago, he held amongst others some of it. hi<Th st ,u1(1 1ll0.·t important offices, such as Secret:1ry-Gener:1I, Receiver-General, Chancellor, and Ch:1irm:1n of the. it..Johnihnbulance As.'oc·iation (the Ambulance department of tho Order), and of tho British Ophthalmic Hospital at Jerusalem, in addition to holding the office of Commander of the Hanley Castle COlm nanclery for ]Jlany years, carrymg out the duties of O:1ch of the offices which he filled with characteristic zeal and energy, and inspired at tho smne ti1l1e with a zealous lovo for the lnaintenance of tho Lest traditions of

the Order. Not the least of his lllany valu:1ble services ,yas the purchase of St. John's G:1te over twenty years ago, with a view to its accplisition (as is now happily the case) as the freohold prop~rty of the Order. A Ulmllorial tablet ]aas Leen erectod in the Hall to his memory, uml it h:1s Leen do,.o{cled :1S :1 huther fitting memorial to make a rone\red offort to r:1ise increasod funds for the endmnnont of the British Ophthalmic IIo .. pital at J erusalelll, the institution which owe .. so Jnuch to his initi:1tive, and with which, a ' Chairman, he was the most closely connect c.1 at the tillle of his doath. It was Sir' Edlllund1echl1lore's good fortune in pu l)lic life to be as much l' spedec1 Ly political opponents as he was l)eloyod by his frionds awl L)y hi ' Confrercs in the Order, who lament his loss.

In Dr. ALBERT NAPPEB. the lutpter deplores the loss of the oldest Honorary As ociate of the Order, who ,nt nro11 d as long ago as the 6th of April, 1S6£). lIe expired sudd nly of heart disease on the 16th N oyemoer, 1 94. Dr. N apl er was one of the pioneers of the Cottage Hospital lllovement, in which the Order at one time took an active interest, and was enrolled as an Honorary Associate in recognition of his scrvices connectecl therewith. The deaths of Surgeon-General Sir THO:'IA:-5 L()XG~IOHE, C.B. , a distinguished officer in the Army :J1eLlical D partll1ent, and ooe of the earliest supporters of the f:lt. John Allllrnlanc Association, of the elllinent Baron F .'lROXID. 1\1 uxny, so w 11known as a leader in the Red Cro 11l0yement in ior ign countrie, and founder of the Austrian Salvng'e ~ 'o<.;iet)', of Lieut.-General JA;,IES KEITH FRA, 'ER, C.:'I.G., who was enrolled an Honorary A sociate in recognition of hi eryiccs dm·jng the Franco-G erlllan "'Val', and of Mr. "' T ALTER ",YI 'KIUl\I, ;'1.H. '.:-' .. who had rendered valuaLle service to the Al11oulan'e D 'pc.utl11ent, have al 0 to oe recorded with deep regret. The Right Rev. HEXRY BOXD BOWLBY, D.D., Bishop 'utll:agan of Coventry, was only enrolled as an Honorary A 'sociate some eighteen months oefore his death, in August of lasL year, in recognition of his ser\Tices as Chairman of the Bir1l1inghmn Centre of the St. J oh11 AmlJulance Association. The Chapter have therefore little to record of his worl" in clo, e connection with the Order, hut it lllay well be said Lhat hi, ' life was given up to the furtherance of such olljects as it is OUl" privilege to endeavour to support. The Order has to regret the resio'nation of Lord A;,lllEIVT OF HACKXEY, who filled the various ofuces of Genealogist and Secretary-General. Lord Alllhcr,'t's sClTices to the Urder nrc well-known, and were recognised Ly a resolution of the Chapter in N ovemoer last. The Order has also to regret the serious loss it has sustn.lll ,<1 owing to the appointment of Lord SANDHUltST as GOYCl'llOr 01Bombay. Lord Sandhurst had only within a short timo H,,'snmcel the position of Director of the AUllJulance Departlll nt, Lut ha. even during the short tunc that he occupied the post, left his mark upon the department over which he presided.

Pa,'sin o' the record of losses the Chapter General has to congratulate the Order upon the fact that His Royal Highness Lhe Duke of Co~ Nl'lUGIIT has accepted the office of Bctiliff of Egle, previon'ly held for so lllany years by Lord Leigh; the Chancellorship is now tilled by the Earl of LATIIO:'I; the ~ 'ecretaryGelleralship Ly Captaul Sir ALFRED J EPIJSO~, R.~.; the DU'ectol' and Chairman 'hip of the AU1Lulance Department by Lorcl KN TSF01W; the 'hairmanship of the Briti 'h Ophthalmic Hospital J eru alelll, lJY Lord EGERTOX OF TATTOX; and the oftice of Genealogist oy MI'. l\1AcLEAX. The Almoner i the Dean of R< 'JlESTEI1; and the LiLrarian the Rey. Canon DUCKWORTH, D.D. The Chapter-Cienentl has to express its unbounded sati, faction that Mr. I. (+OFT()~-SALM()XD, the ,,'ell-knowll and energetic 'ecrett"try of the cc J3riti,'h Home for IncuraLl s," has agreed to ulHl'rLake the important anel onerous eluty of Honorary 'ecreLilry of the British Ophthalmic Ho pital at J eru alem; a11(l lastly it must be a !llatter of conoTatulation to the onl'l'l'l'eS that our yalucd Confrere olonel Sir HERBEET PE1UWTT hn. as ume<l his olLl po.-ition as Socr tary of the Ortler ulHl'r C,l,pLlin Sir Alfred J eph on, RX., the'ecretaryG n'ral.

The sum received during the nine months on behalf of the Lechmere Memorial Endowment Fund already referred to, was £722 9s. lId., but this has been supplemented by the receipt to the end of the year as per appended list, of £1,064 6s. Od., including a donation of £1,000 from Katharine, Lady Lechn1ere. The total sum, £1,786 15s. lId. (less expenses), has been invested, and it is proposed that a Memorial Tablet in marble to record the connection of the late Sir Edllllmd Lechmere with the charity be erected in the Hospital at J erusalen1.

According to nrnmgement Illnde on hi nppointment, Dr. Cnnt, the Resid nt Modicnl Officer nt J eru nlem, Ciuno to En 'bnd on six rnonths' lenve on ptomber 1 t, an 1 the Committee hnvo hnd the valuaLle assistance of his pro once and advice at soveral of their {ootings. The following Roport from hiln has roceived their careful consideration, anc.1111any of the sllgge tions hnve alroady been

aeted upon. The services of Miss Margaret Shawe have been secured with a view to assist in the work of the Ho pital, and she will proceed to J erusal81l1 with Dr. Cant. During his absence in England the Hospital work was under the care of Mr. G. H. Pooley, a surgeon of ophthalmic experience.

,Vhen we re-commence in the spring weshallhave added another ward of two beds, so that we may be said now to take twenty patients, a fairly respectable number for a special Hospital. Our patients are admitted for 01 eration almost exclusively: and I finel that, by devoting three clays a week to out-patients, and three days to operations, I am not quite able to keep pace, as far as operations go, with our admissions, which last year numbered 512, the highest number in one month being seventy. You will see also that over 1200 operations, including a large number for out-patient, were (lone in the year, the majority of these being long operations under amesthetics. This sho'ws that the number of heels is sufficient fully to employ one surgeon in operati"Ve 'work, and as it is for that most important part of Ophthalmic 'uro'ery that the hospital exists, the gain of extending the accommocbtion without increase of working power would not be ureat. Indeed, it is not increased accommodation that we 'want, but increased working power: with the latter much more JlliuhL Le done, specially in the out-patient department, where gl' aL nmnLer haye chily to be excluded, as they become over"\\,11 Imino'. Allllo ,t y ry out-patient day throughout the summer, we hn,ye to open our doors at seyen o'clock or soon after, in order to ·lose them aO'ain immediaL ly,having by that early hour a sufficient numLer to k ep the 'urrreon employed uninterruptedly until one o'clock. To nppoint an a(lclitional surO'eon ,','ould, ho,\e,er, mean an increa,'cd expense of from £200 to £300 a year and unle the fllncls a. 'mne v ry dificrent proportions we cannot hope for that. :Jluch a ', istllnce mio'ht be derived, and nlore work got through, if n suiLaule and skilled nul' 'e were available: a help which, except for n brief period, we hnye hitherto clone without. It seem difficult Lo geL the rio'ht person in the rio'ht place, for whiL 'L the work i more difficult nnd arduou and ha to be carried on under more tryin o' eircml1stnnce than at home, the best help nsually fincls ltlploYlllCnt at hOllle, and we R.re ,ery apt to get applicant.' who for one rca on or another do not fit into t.heir plttc . As to the Ho 'piLal itself, it i now in e.'cellent working ord l' and arrangement, nncl i::.; exceedingly suitable [or the purpo e to which it has been adnptocl, " 'hich i not thnt of a ho pital for the "ick uut one [or operations upon the eye in otherwi e healthy poople.

JJledical 0ffice1"s R epoTt, lJ1'e e1lied to the Hospital COlll1nittee, October, 1895. Since 1 last had the pleasure of meeting the COll1l11ittee, it has, I believe, been re-organized and lllR.ny new lnemb rs have been appointed on it; on account of this, a few remarks frOnlllle upon the Hospital a,nd its work in Palestine 11lay be wolcolne to the Committee. In the early part of the present year I wrote a rather Ion 0' report for publication in the Hospital Report last issu~cl, and I th.ink that informs you fully of the amount of work done In the H o pltal, the constantly increasing and overwhelming amount that presents itself and which unfortunately we are unable to get through; and generally of the value of the chR.rity, and the estinmtion in which it is held throughout the greater part of Pal stine. Our patients and applicants come from R.ll pnrt near and br, from Gaza and district in the South to Nazareth in the North; from the sea-coast to the Jordan valley, nnd from the Bedouin tribes and other inhabitants East of Jordan and ou th of Palestine. Of the Jerusalem patients a small majority nrc Jews ~ we get a variety of between twenty and thirty nationalities from the town in the course of the year. Our Christian patient, of the Lntin, Greek, Sp:ian, Annenian, and other Churches, come mainly frOl11 Jerusalem and Bethlehem' whilst D.'011l nearly all the villages far and near, and the distant towns, as N ablus, H ebron, Rn1ll1eh, and Jaffa, the applica,nts are chiefly Moslems. The majority of those we arunit are long distance patients, and con equ ntly the majority are Moslems. We have patients of all nationalities and religions in our wards at the sanle time; and we hnve never yet. had any trouble with them on account of religious dissensions. We have our seventeen beds always full throughout thegreater part of the year and usually two patients over number. f

Our wards are very suitable, forming a compact range of rooms opening inwards into a covered courtyard immediately adjacent to the operation room; being in the basement, they are almost entirely sheltered from the heat and strong light of the fierce sun, and are almost entirely free from the dust of the road, which is a great nuisance to our own d weiling, looking as it docs over the high road. ,,'" e have during the past seven-and-a-half years, devoted ourselves to developing the arrangements and accommodation of the HospitaJ, which has had the advantage of the whole of my attention, as I have found lllore than sufficient to do in it, without private practice. The Hospital is now in a very different condition to what it was; we have in the time mentioned spent about £1000 in additions and improvements: £500 of this has come from private donations, R.nd the other £500 we have been able to save out of the monthly expenditure, which the Committee wished we should not materially exceed, of £30 per month. This we have been able to do, so far, on account of having no housekeeper' and skilled nurse's salaries to pay, owing to voluntary help. Thus we have added a new out-patient block, with valuable storage accommodation beneath, the latter as much needed in the premises as the out-patient department itself: n. new large cistern, an expensive and very valuable and also absolutely nece ary adjunct to premises, where we have to store ,Yater for a nine months' supply; a new day-room for the patients in connection with the wards, and where meals are taken in the coollllOnths ; a new kitchen: and a new room on the terrace in connection with the Surgeon's residence: besides greatly improving the condition of the pre-existing premises. The cost at Jerusalem per month for the seven-and-a-half years comes out exactly at an average of 30 guineas or 360 guineas the year. \¥e have for six-and-a-half out of the seven-and-a-half years, done with only native help, which is extremely inefficient for carrying out our work according to our home standard, which we endeavour to lllaintain; often lacking, and always quite unreliable. The authorities in forming an estimate of cost of maintenance should not omit the cost both of an English nurse

and a housekeeper; the Surgeon, as the work is now carried on, is busied from seven o'clock in the morning until one o'clock daily, in either the out-patient department or in the operation room, and the whole superintendence, and no small part of the work of the establishment, the wards and patients, the kitchen J1nd domestic matters must necessarily devolve upon other shoulders.

E. CANT.

The foregoing Report constitutes the best Appeal that the Committee can make, and it is hoped that it may receive the careful consideration of the charitably inclined. EGERTON OF TATTO T, Chairrnan.

Duncan, G.B., M.P., in placing the St. John Ambulance Association on the sound and onduring basis which h as resulted in its present succes. EYer ready with his advice and personal service, and not sparing with his purse, the memory of Sir Edmund Lechmere 'will always be revered for the aid giyen by hilll, especially in early days, 'when many looked with suspicion on a no\'el and untl'iedlllOYement, ,'{hilc to tho e of hi confT"e?'es who knew him well and were priYileged tu posses the charm of hi · per onal friend hip, regarding hi111 with a much affection as respect, his premature death has caused <1, doep-rootod sorrow which time may soften but crm ne\'er eft.1ce. The members of the Royal Family continue to tako their wonted interest in all that affects the well-Leing of the Association, especially at those OClltres with which they are themsel\'es 11l0St intill1ately connected. Two of the lllOSt successful meetings of the year IHlYO been at the Crystn1 Palace when Princes Christian presentedllHll1ycertificates nn(lulCdallions to the X orwood Centre, and at the head-quarter of the Metropolitan Fire Brigado at Southwark, when HoI' Royal Highness performed a similar duty to the officers and men of that gallant force, Sir Arthur Arnold, tho Chairman of the London Council, presiding. At a rocent presontation of certificates to soldiers b"\T General H.R.H. the Duke of ConllflUo·hL J b at the newly-formed Aldershot Calnp Centre, His Royal Hig-hnes' referred to the great interest in ambnbnce work he hacl taken for many years past in India, in the City and Port of London, and at Portsmouth (of which Centres he is President), and elsewhere, and gave a striking instance of the lUanner in which the house carpenter at his residpnce at Bagshot, a 1'0 er\'o lllan from the Scots Guards, who had oLtt1ined the ~ 'to John AmLulance certificate, had been able to render" first aid" when ono of the men servants fell through a verandah and severely cut his leg, and might have bled to death. 1\1any well-authenticated cases of the same kind, especially frolll Chief ConstaLles of County Constabulary and Borough Police, are being constantly reported at St. John's Gate, a selection of whieh have l' cently been printed in a pamphlet, copies of which can be oLtained (gratis) on application.

H.R.H. Princess Christian has also attended Ineetings at "Vind or, presenting cerLificates and 111edallions to the local classes, principally Great \Vestern Raihvay eTnployes, 2,255 of whoJll, it was stated Ly Viscount Emlyn, had now oLtained certificates, 1,127 of whom ha,d Leen aLle to give "first aid" in accillents, while at least 7:3 01' 7·~ lives had been saved throngh their timely assi.stance. f)imilar testimony as to the value of amlmlance hlOwlmlge to 1'<1,il way lllen was recently borne Ly Lord ~ 'talbri(lgo, speaking' at the half-yearly meeting of the London and ...

10 Ambulance instlUction in the coal and iron mining districts has bren well maintained. The }Jublication of the first Annual General H,eport of the mineral industry of the kingdom, prepared by Mr. Le Neve Foster, is interesting and instructi\'e. The repol t was undertaken at the suggestion of the Royal Oommi"sion upon Mineral and ~lining Statistics. The part of the report dealing with accidents in mines, their causes, results, alld the mEthods of prevention, is very instructive. The first striking feature is the enormous proportion of fatalities arising from what may be called minor, or isolated, accidents. Thus, ont of a total number of 1,173 deaths ill all mines in 1894-, no fewer than :25, or 70·4 per cent. of the whole, arose in cases in which there was only one \"ictim . It is" the general idea that explosions arising from firedamp, as tbey must ~lways be the most terrible, are also the most fruitful source of deaths. In reality this is not the case. There is another source of danger less striking in its aspect, but on the whole more deadly in its result. Falls of ground, either from the top or the sides of the workings, are responsible for more than balf of the fatal accidents recorded. They are generally cases in which only one or two persons sll£fer. The same may be said of non-fatal accidents. Fractures, burns, wounds, &c., as a rule, take place to une, or few persons at a tinlP, and we have always urged upon all miners and officials at the mines, to qualify in " first aid," so as to be able to render timely assistance, in whatever part of thR mine, or premises cOllnected with the mine, tlwse accidents may occur. The more universal our am bnlance instruction, the better it will be for the injured in our mining districts. Better t.estimony to the widespread general knowledge in the Miucllesbro' and Cleveland district of the proper treatment of illjuries canno.t well be given than in the following letter from Dr. J ame l\lackllllay: the foremost medical attend::mt on the spot, on the o(:ca iOll of the terrible explosion of 11 large boilers at the \V arren by Iron 'Yorks, near Redcar, when 11 men were killed and a larae lIumber were injured . \Y riting with regard to this on J une 19th~ 1 '95, he says :"1'h.e explosion at vVarrenby, h~ppening, as it did, in the e\'ening, when It was dark, and accompallled by a shower of bricks, boiling water and dust, must have been enough to have tried the nerves of most men. As far as I can learn, only two ambulance men, besides one who was killed, were on the night shift, and they both rendered efficient aid. In thIS particular accident I do not ·like to draw much distinction between ambulance and nOlH:Jmbulance men· all workeu well. ' "But where I think thfl benefit of the ambulance movement shows up most distinctly in this disaster is in the fact that every worknlan llas seen ambulance men remove a comrade, either at the time of accident or du~ing practi?e~ so tha.t then was more general knowledge of the bancllll1g of the Injured ulsplayed than one could have expected. Again, a very great advantage over but a few years ago, was the num ber of stre~chers that were available from neighbouring \yorks and railway stat[(lns for t he removal of the injured.

11 "The explosion occurreJ at 9.17, and very sbortly after 10 p.m. all the injured living were safely housec1. Thero were, from first to last, seven medical men in attendance) and not olle hael to go on to the "works; the work they had to do was all ready for them in the separate houses of the injured." 'Vith the view of creating increasecl interest in "first aid" work, the firm of Bell, Brothers, have instituted an annual competition among their extensive collierips in the County of Durham. The first competition took lJlacc at Durham, on November 16th, the prize being a silk banner presenteel by Mrs. Johuson, daughter of Sir Lowthian Bell. Among those pre. ent, were Mr. Hugh Bell, (tIle High Sheriff of the Oonnty), Major Johnson (both members of the firm), th~ Mayor of Dnrham, and several others. The ambulance station, at the Royal Agricultural Show, was open from June 22nd to 29th, when the following ca ·es were treated : -

Two of the lightning cn. es died-the other three) all insensible ~nd in a critical state, \ven' promptly n.ttended to at the ambulance stat1On, but for this, in all probability they wllulLl have dieu. After about two hour~, Sl'll ihility l'etul'l1ec.1, auJ th y were removed to the permanent hospiLct! ill Da.rlingtoll, amI in the course of a few da} s were able to proceed hom('. A mo t succes fnl and fnlly-equipped ambulance station was maintained by the Birkenhecl<l lentre at the ,Yirrall Agricultural Show, on the 4th and 5tl! uf "'eptelllber. A yery large llumber uf cases ,vere treatclI, om of a serioLls nature, one rase, a broke" leg, having to be sent tn the Borough Hospital. The station was under the supel intendence of Mr. H . C. Bielby, the 11011. Secretary of thp Uelltre. It i~ gratifying to notice the goocl work Jone hy the Police Force in many parts of the country. In the counLy of Lancashire Oolonel l\Ioorsom, the Ohief onsLahl, report, that out of a force of 1,50.1 men 1,12:1 hold ,'ti. John ambulance certificates. His report gl\res a detailed list of thirty- even severe ca,es where « first airl" has been rendered. These case:, were fracture., bl elling, drowninf!, >·c., ancl it is on record that several Jiv('s have been saved by this timely assistance. The useful work clone by horse n.mbldances in vn.riolls parts is worthy of note. In the small conntry lown of \Vellingborough 129 ca es have been treateJ in connection with which the hort-e ambulance van has travelled 48 mdes durin!r the tWl:'lve months rnu in u in t>ptember. The following are some of th~ cal:ies dealt with: brok~n back, fracture of the skull, burns, clislocations, fractures, &c,. delicate medical tran port cases. The recent report of the Great l. orthem Hospital at Liverpool states that

tbe borse ambulance attached to the h ospital had been called out 954 times during the year, and had proved itself of the greatest value to the institution and the public. Ambulance <..lemonstrations and inspections ha,ye been frequent during the year. A large number of men and nurses from various parts of Lancashire 'N ere reviewed at Blackpool by Lord Kllutsford and Colonel Thackeray, lJ.Qt., in June, and in July 235 men and several nurses,. belonging to the Middlesborough amI Cleveland Centre, were inspected at 'Vllton Castle Park: kindly leut by the Right Honourable James Lowther, M.P., and certificates were presented by Lady Dixon, 'wife of Sir Raylton Dixon. On the following day, Sunday, a parade of members of the various ambulance Curps in the county of Durham was hehl at Durham. The parade was organized by the 1\layor of Durham (Dr. Jepson), and ,yas attended by nearly 4:00 men, from seventeen different stations-miners, railway men, police, &c. The men marcheu to the cathedral, where a most impressive sermon was preached by Canon Body, D.D., on St. John ambulance 'ivork in relation to its hU111ane and Ohristian spirit. In the same month Loru Knutsfonl inspecteLl Oolonel Seely's Ambulance Corps at Basford, near Nottingham. On August 3rd a review was hel(l for the Midland counties in the park at "" Telbeck Abbey, kindly lent by the Duke of Portland. 'orne "' 00 men were put through an ambulance chill, under the command of 1\lr. S. O. ",Yardel!. The hospital tent was under the stlperintendellce of 1\1rs. Wardell and a staff of nurses. The Duke entertained a larue party for the occasion. The inspecting officer was Surgeon-OolonelbTaylor, at present serving as principal medical officer in Ashantec. Two well organized competitions have taken place at Leicester and Gloucester for a challenge shield. These competitions require to be cunducteu very carefully. The teams shoul<1 operate separately, and one team shuuld not see ~nother, and they should be designated by a number to be handed to the Judge in the room, who should not know anything further about t.hem until after the competition is completed and the judgment given out. Among the nUlllfHOUS case:; we are constantly receivillO' of" first aill" renu.ered, the following may be t aken as typical ex:mples of good serVIce. In Ma.y a boy was severely injured on the J orth-Eastern Railway at 1\lalton-a compound fracture of the thialJ and other injulies. The ambu}ance men at the station put a tOUl~iquet on the femoral artery, and bounu up the leg in splints and bauuages. Dr. Hartley paid the men a very sincere compliment, sayinO' he could not have believed t,hat am bu1ance men could have doue a ra~ient up in such style. In Au?ust a visitor bathing at Bexhill got beyond his depth and sank. \\ hen brought on shore he sho""Ted no signs of life. Two local coast-guard men at once r esorted to artificial respiration, and in about twenty minutes faint signs of life were shown. The treatment was continued for- three quarters of an hour, when respiration was r~stored. ~'he doctor, when he arrived, said the man would surely have dIed, but for the coast-guard men'::; timely treatment.

Since the publication of the last report 293 ca es have been treated at the St. Paul's Ambulance Station. 8taff- 'ergt. Friend l'eports that he receives every support £"r0ll1 the officers an 1 ]11en {)f the City Police. Since the opening of the station in 1 90 no less than 1384 cases have received treatnlent here, and Inany influential residents in the neighbourhood speak in ,\Tann terms .of the useful work carried on. Encourao'ino' o b reports are receiyed frOln the colonies, e pecially from Austra,l ia and from South Africa, where there was a momentary lull during the visit of Profes~or LiclJlllann to England. In Canada considera.ble impetus has been giyen to the elasses at the instance of D eputy Surgeon-General G. '. Ryerson, several new centres being in progress of fonnation. In England the establishment of the" J orth Eastern Rail\\Tay Centre" on a system long desired Ly the Committee has Leen a source of much gratification. A descriptive circular lately i. sued hy the General Manager is reprinted at page 19, and this plan appears so advantageous that it, or a similar one will, it is hoped, ue adopted by every railway company throughout the eountry, c pecially as every line, almost without an exception, has for so many years past held classes connected with the Assoeiation. The greatest feature of the year's work, however, has Leen the affiliation of so many country, district, and parish council dH,sse~, both ambulance and" nursing," with the Association. ,Vith very few exceptions, there is now scarcely a county ill England where " Council" classes carried out in accordance with the A. so<.;iation's rules, and examined by its examiners, are not held, and it is confidently believed that before another year js over a still further extension will be found to have taken place in this direction. Full particulars as to classes connected with the county councils and evening continuation schools will be found in a recently issued pamphlet ("fA," 1895), which can be obtained frOlll the H ead Office without charge. It js to be regretted that, in spite ot urgent representations from the Director and Chairman, SODle puLlic bodies (as, for instance, the London School Board) fail to

see the absolute importancc of ambulance instruction being given by duly qualified medical practitioners, and it is to be hoped that publie attention may not Le forcibly called to the suLject by some fn,tality, caused by erroneous information from an incompetent person, resulting in the loss of human life. It may be mentioned in this connexion that the syllaLus of the Association, both " first aid" and "nursing}) was copied by the Education Department, and i sued a the authorised official currieulum in the 1895 « ode for Evcning ontinuation Schools." The i.-sue of ccrtinc8.t s for the ession has been :19,687 " First Aid," Male 7,812 ditto Female Nnr ino' " :J18.1e 145 3,570 ditto Fcmal making 8. gr8.n 1 total t date of 336,214.

In conclusion the Committee ventures to hope that this brief and inadequate summary of the results of its labours for the. past year may be considered not un'ivorthy of a d epartment of that OTeat humanitarian order of which the St. John Amlmlance Association is an integral part, while at the same tinle it relies upon receiving in the future fronl all those, . es~ecially the Medical Staff and Local Executive, to whom It IS so nll.1Ch indebted, still further co-operation and support to enable it to extend and develop yet more a noble work of which it has been truly said, {( It is twice blest-it blesseth him that gives and him that takes." NOTE I EXTRACT FROM REPORT OF THE CHIEF I 'SPECTOR OF FACTORIES A~D ,VORKSHOPS, 1895, TO THE HOME ECRETAHY. Mr. D.WALMSLEY, H.M. Inspector for Stockport, reports:" Considering the thousands of accidents 'w hich occur each year in factori es, it is important that the 'firs~ ~id,' as taught undel~ the auspices of the St. John Ambulance AssocIatIOn should be apprecIated and taken up by factory employes. I h.ave on~y knowle~ge of one works in my district where suitable interest 15 mamfested-vlz., the London. and Rorth-\Vestern Railway vVorks at Crewe. In each department of their extensive works a notice board containing the names of all persons capable of rendering' first aid' is affixed ir: ~ prominen~ position; this is found of areat value not only for the lllJured, hut It prevents any alarm or ,~onfusion that often enSHes, when skilled help is Jacking. In my opinion this is 'a subject which should come uncler the direction ~nd assistance of either the Science and Art D epartm ent, or the 'techmcal departments' of the various county councils.* Speaking. fr?m experience in establishing a claRs both last year and thIS year It IS no easy matter to carryon these classes without the. monetary and official support of some public organization, and what IS more grand or noble th:1ll seeing a man studying at some self-sacrifice, in order that at some future time he may be of some value in uiminishing the pain, or probably saving the life of his fellow man."

NOTE II.-vVhile this report was in press the following appeared in the T i?rl,es and other London papers of Thursday, 30th January, 1 96. AMBULANCE 'YORK IN SOUTH AFRICA. The St. John Ambulance Association has received the following letter from its South African Council :_CC Capetown, January 8tb, 1896. On the 30th December, when we found that there was every probability of fighting in the Transvaal) Professor Liebmann wired the Johannesburg Centre offering to come up and h elp them if needed, and bring with him stretchers, hampers, &c., that we had in stock. On the 1st we heard of the fighting between Jameson's forces and the Boers, and on Thursday, having no r eply, it ,vas decided to send on Professor Liebmann with a few others for ambulance work, and accordingly a notice was inserted in Friday morning's paper calling f or volunteers from certificated pupils. ,Ve hrtd a number of applications from which we selected the following :-Lady E. Bl'Llce (Nurse Ernestine), Mrs. E. Good win Green, Messrs. A. Cane, ,Yo lod ger, L. Bauer, G. E. Baillie H amilton, aud D. A. Grant. These left by Friday night's train, anel, all being well, "ould reach their dest.ination Monday, the 6th . Before leaving, Prof s or Liebmann had a couple of inten'iews with }eneral Goodenough, who very warmly endorsed his propo als, and (rave him letters to tbe authorities in J obann burg and Pretoria, a king for safe conduct and commending the party to their best consideration . This morning we have receiyed the following wire from Liebmann which is very satisfactory: "' J ohannesburg, just retnrned from r rugersllorp. Five Boers and thirty-five Jameson's men in hospital. Arrangements for wounded excellent, con iderin g hurried inauglll'ation of hospital. \Younded progre ing favonrably. Our a si tance ha . been requested by Drs.

1st November, 1895. Ci/'cular No. 502. C(('ncelli7l(J Circular No.4 [-1 ancl 4. 79. North Eastern Railway Ambulance Class.

*On reference to pages 32 to 38 of Pamphlet A, 1895, it will. be ~eell that t.his has alreaJy been done with great success by most County CO?Jlclls, 111 eo-opet'~tlOn \yith the Association. It would, however, appear, that, except 111 Ireland, the SCIence and Art Department can give no help.

It having been decided, with tbe approval of the St. J obn Ambulance Associn.tion, to form a TOl'th Eastern railway Centre of the Association, all rail way ambulance classes on this system must ill

20 future be worked under the newly formed Centre. The following rules must be observed :1. As soon as it is decided to carryon a class at any station, a class secretary should be appointed, who should at once communicate with the district secretary of the North Eastern Railway Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association, and apply for the necessary number of books and bandages. As soon as a class is commenced, the class secretary must send an advice to the district secretary, who will advise the centre secretary of its commencement, th e number of ra.ilway and other members who have joined, and the name of the instructor of the class; and the centre secretary will afterwards forward this information to the general manager. 2. An examination (of a simple and practical character) will be held by a medical officer at the conclusion of each course of in struction, and all who pass the examination will obtain the certificate of the St. John Ambulance Association, which will be signed by the chairman of the railway company. The bronze medallion of the St. John Ambulance Association will be awardeel to any member who successfully passes the second and third examinations, which will be held at intervals of a year each after passing the first examinatioll. Th e arrangements for the examination must be made by the secretary of each class by communication with the Head Office. The re-examinations should be performed by local medical men approved by the district councilor the chief secretary of the St. John Ambulance Association, and should not involve any additional expense. N.B.--The course of instruction consists of five or six lectures by a local surgeon, each lecture being follow ed by a practical ?e~onstration on bandaging and the mode of lifting and moving lDJured persons. 3. The company will supply a small badge, which can be worn upon the coat, to a.ll their servants who pass the first examination, to indicate that they are qualified to render" first aid." 4. The locomotive superintendent will supply to classes worked under the N .E. R. Centre, upon application through the storekeeper, the following articles : A stretcher suitable for railway use with awning and blanket, a supply of rough splints of variolls sizes, a dozen triangular bandages, and a simple tourniquet. 5. As soo n as the examination of each class has been held, the centre secretary must send to the general manager a report of the working of the class, giving a list of the members who have attended it, and the members who have passed the examination. This ri?port must be accompanierl by a statement of the expenses of the class, embracing the following items :.(a) Examiner's fee of £1 111:. Gd. for each 30 or part of 30 attending. (b) Examiner's travelling expenses and other incidental expenses, if any.

(c) Amonnt paid, if any, for loan of diagrams " On the ?ther side of the account should be shown a~y fees taken tor non-rallway members lJaid under Rule 6. The acc~unt s~ould be then sent to the general manager at Y?rk, and If conSIdered reasonable, the balance will be paid by the raIlway company j but the company will not pay any balance in excess of an average cost of 5s. per member. 6. ,Vhere clas~es are form ed tor the servants of the company and persons no~ III th.e serviGe are accepted as members, a fee of 5 . per head. mcludIng Is. Gd. for book and bandao-e must be charged for such meml~ers, and the class secretary r:u~t account for tl~e amount so rec ~l\Ted to the centre secretary. Classes under the North Eastern H,al~ way Cel:tre at the following places must be confi~led to servan.ts of the raIlway company, viz. :-Leeds, York Darlington, Ber WI ck, Harrogate Hartlepool \Vest H tl J' Hull and liddlesbro'. ' , . ar epoo, 7. ,Vh ere servants of the company join St. John Ambulance ~la es, other than those h eld. under the: Korth Eastern Hailway Ceutre, a .class fee not exceerlmg 5s. per head will be paid by the company In 1'e p ~ct of each of their servants who may obtain a ?ertIlicate of effiCiency to render c. first aid." This fee of 5s. will Il1clude the co t of book and bandage (to be supplied to each member fr ee of cost) a.nrl any expen e in connection with the second and. third examinations at the end of the first and second ypars, but m n~ case will the compan:y pay more than 5s. per mem bel'. The c1,ccount for fe s und er thIS clause must be rendered by th lo cal secretary of the 't. John Ambulanc e class to the general manager of the company.

REPORT.

I N presenting the Eighth Annual Report of the Colne Centre, we have much pleasure in again recording that during the past year 16 new male members and 16 new female members attendeu the comse of "first aid" lectures given oy our instructor, Dr. Dickey, and are pleased to say that they all passed the Examination held in December last by Surgeon-Major G. A. Hutton. The Financial Statement just audited shows a satisfactory balance towards the work of next Session, so that on the whole the Committee have cause to feel satisfiell that their efforts have met with a fair measure of success. At the Annllal Review and Competition, helJ at Blackpool on June 29th this year, we are pleased to state tbat the" nursing" division of this Corps were successful in winning the second prize in the competition-ll Corps competing-which is very creditable to the Corps. During the year thirty-six: accidents have oc(;urred at which our pupils haye rendered "first aid ." Invalid cases have been numerous, and these have been provided for most satisfactorily. '1'he Committee feel gratified in being able to call attention to the u::;efulness of the Horse Ambulance Oarriage, it having been used fifteen times durilJg the seven months to convey injured persons to the Burnley Victoria Hospital, where the members have been commended for the manner in which tbey have rendered" fir::;t aid" Tbe frequent use of the carriage, both within and beyond the Lorough tlistriet, only shows the great need that existed for such a conveyance for the transport of the sick and injured. It is a source of gratification to those who have en(leavoured to keep to the front the usefulness of ambulance work, to find that mallY persons hitherto unfriendly are seeing tbat the cause is one purely to relieve the suffering and to sa,'e life. :JIany cases have been imJ:>ortant. For instance, at Colne Railway Station a gentlemen attempted to get into a carriage whilst the tJaill was in motion, when he missed his hold and fell between the carriages on to the metals below, the wheels passing over his leg just below the knee. A memLer of the Corps quickly applied a tourni(luet antI arrested the Lleeding, thereby saving the gentleman's lire. Another case was that of a little girl, ten years of age, Leing severely burnt on the left side ofbe1' body, through her dress catching fire . A member at once reudel'ed "first aid," and in the meantime a doctor was sent for, who ordered her removal to the Hospital, where she remained for six months. Many more cases could be mentioned of the like nature, if space would permit.

A large number of our members took part in, and presented a most credita1le appearance at the Ambulance Review held Augnst nth, 1895, at Welbeck Abhey, the success of which was unfortunately marrerl by the wet and unpleasant weather. Our best thanks are again due to our Honorary Treasurer, and those medical members of our staff who have as usual spared no pains in the valuable services they render to the Centre, greatly stimulated by the interest taken in our work and the assistance given by our new President, Mr. Fras.

IN submitting the third Annual Report of the Dudley Centre, the Committee have pleasure in l'cconling another year of usefulness in Ambulance work. During thc past year one class for the instruction of women in " first airl," and two for "home nursing" have been held, anti were well attended. One class for men was started, but the long severe frost interrupted the meetings and it was abandoned, a number who had given in' their namcs being unable to attend. Oth er classes are being arranged to commence in October. Of 46 cases reported in which "first aid" had been successfully applied during the year, one, a fractured thigh (a woman), was skilfully treated by a lady mcmber, and was highly commended by the Hospital Surgeon. Particulars of the Ambulan ce Corps are given in the Brigade reports .

TUAL REPORT.

TilE Committee beg to report that during the past session sixteen classes under the "Dllndce Centre" have been held. The total nuwber of pupils who have received a complete course of instruction on " first ai,l " to the injured and sick is 422 (302 men and 120 women).

The total number of pupils who have received instruction on "home nursing and hygiene" is 53, of which 28 have received certificates. As in former years, the Committee must again express their appreciation of the valuable services rendered by the members of the medical profession in conducting the classes gratuitously j also to those gentlemen who have acted as Secretaries at the various" sections" under the" Dunuee Centre." The Committee have pleasure in reporting that four clas el'l for the employes of Railway Companies have been held during the pa t session; also one class for the members of the Police Force.

126 The inco me has improved, but not in prorortion to the work, for though last year the pupils fees for fourela ses amounted to £2 19s., those for sixteen classes held this year came to but £40 Us. lld. Of those . ixteen classes, ten were free, justifying an appeal for more support to the public (who can beco UJe anllual lllc:mbers on payment of 5s. , "'ith the privilege of nominating one of their poorer neighbours to any class at half· fees), and especially to publi c bodies, including those in charge of thc T echnical Erlucation Grants-to enable ll8 to more fittingly reward our Medi cal" talT, who e arduous labours confer such benefits on th e community at large. During the session, the services of lecturers were specially rc\Yanled in two ilJ.'tan ces - the members of the Hollington Ladies' classes pre enting 1\11'. F. ",V. B.

THE work in this Centre is moving steadily on . Two classes have been held this year, "First aid " class successfully taught by Dr. Hartley. lYe are pleased to refer espe0ially to the "nursing" class taught by Dl'. Hitcholl. The knowledge the students have gained has been very usefu] to them; two of the members have gone to be pr01ationers for three years, one to the Royal Hospital, Liverpool, the other to the I nfirmary, Bury. Two field days have been belel at Tottington and Heywood, which were well attended by the public. Our Corps attended a review and competition at Rochdale, and were successful in bringing away t\\'o first prize~, vi;,:, Furley tretcher and .Ambulance Box. , Ve 11a,,'e placed ambulance boxes in the principal parts of the town, which have been of service to the public already. Our l1lemb~rs have done excellent work in attending upon cases of . evere blecrling and fracture,:, &c., for which they have been complimentcd by the medical nlen.

ANKUA.L REPORT. THE work during the past year has been very _atisfactory . Thirteen classes have been held, and 298 students ha,'e gone through a full course of instruction. The classes were examined by Rrigade-Surgeon Lieut.-Col. IIIcXalty, Dr. Coates, R . N., Mr. Ling, and Dr. V ('rnon, and ,yere all instructed by our own :Medical Staff, Mr. Fryer, nIl'. Hoyland, and 1111'. 'Wo od, each gil'ing gratuitol1s courses. This year, for the first time, the G.E.R. certificates are given from their own Centre, othel'wise we shonld have had 265 certificates, vouchers, alld medallions; as it \vas, 239 were givpn at the Annual Meeting. If we had more mones, we could have done a grea.t LIeal more work; cIa ses of working men could not be starte(l for lack cf funds, dnd working women , too, want instruction. There have been a few accidents successfully treated by Poliee, etc., but noue at the Railway. The Report of this Centre has been printed locally in e,i;{enso, and the Honorary Secretal y lrill be glad to forward copies to anyone who may apply for them .

148 A JNUAL REPORT. DURING the year twenty -eight classes have been held, being an increase_of three over last year. Twenty-one have beeu male "first aid," three female "nrst aid," and four female" nursing." Ambulance instruction has been carried ou in a systematic manner iu the Leeds City Police Force, and over 100 of its members have obtained their certificates, and it is estimated that a like number will obtain th em during the next year. Classes continue to be held amongst Colliery and Railway workpeople, whilst it is interesting to note that an increasing number of past pupihl qua1ify themselves by Re- examination for cp.rtificates and mellallions. I n addition to the classes mentioned, about ten new classes have already been commenced in connection with the forthcoming session.

AN UAL REPORT. TUE Committee, in presenting this Heport for the past session, i pleased to record the fact tha.t the work has been steadily maintained. There ha been a slight falling of[ ill the num bel' of Town clas es ; on the other haml there has been an increase in the number of classes in the county. During the year twelve men' classes have been held, viz :-Counteslhorpe, ,Vigston Magna, Kirby l\luxloe, Dc ford, ,Yorking l\Ien's College, Leicester Cyclist, Y.M.C.A., Burbage, yston, Gallowtree Gate Cbapel, Borough of Leirester Working Men's Club and Institute, Gas and Electric Light Department. Six Re-examinations al 'o were held; 191 presented themselves, 176 passed; or whom 32 became entitled to purchase the medallion of the Association. Four womell's "first aid" classes were helll: -two at Leicester, and one each at Coulltesthorpe and Wigs ton. ixty women presented them elves for examination , 53 of whom gained certificates. In strllction in cc nursing" has been given to three classes; at Leicester, Burbage, Barrow. Forty-nine women presented themselves for

150

151

examination, 41 pa sed, eight only failing to satisfy tile examiner. Five women's re-examinations ,,-ere held; 61 candidate passed out of 69, 33 women became entitled to purchase medallions. Alto.~ether 19 classes have been instl'Ucte(l ; this, compared with former years, is a decidp.d falling off in numbers, amI llIay be aecoullted for to i'ome extent by the unsettlrcl state of the staple indu t~'ies of the town in the former part of the present year. In Leicester 107 men and 33 women passed their first examination, making for the town a total of 1725 men and 878 women who have earned certificates in " fil'st aid" ; amongst whom 411 women have also gained. the" llnrsiug "certificate~. The Committee have l'leasUl'e in noting the great int6rest evinced in the county in ambulance wOlk, as testiGed by the number of classes held in the different village, and tl'Ust that during the coming se sion others who have not alrea(ly fennerl classes Illay do so, a knowledge of am bulance I'.'ork being e peeially (lesirab1e where a surgeon Illay live at some (Ii. tance away. The Committee note with satisfaction the large number who presented thcm ..elves for re-examination, showing a ustained interest in ambulance WOI k. The cxaminers expressed themselves gratified with the high state of efficiency tlisplaycd by those re-examined. The Annual Public Meeting of the Centre was held at thc Temperance Hall on ~Ionday, October 8th, 1894, anLl was largely attended, the hall being Iluite full. The Rev. Canon Sanders, LL. D., presided, and was supported by U1'geon-Major Hutton, J . P, of Leamington, and a number of the local medical staff. Thr Mayorcss killll1y presented the certificates obtained during the year. On the afternoon of 'unuay, November 25th, 189,1, the members of the Leicester Corps assemblell ill the Market PlaCl', and headed by the Gas and Electric Ligllt Department Ballu, procee(led in procession to St.1IIartin's Church, where by the kiudness of the vicar, the Re\' . Calion Ilis worship the Mayor, aecom panied Sander!', LL. D., a special service was helu. by the Mayoress, and a number of the members of the Corporation, \vere present. The chureh ,,,as packed to excess, and the service \\'a. throughout of a most hearty character. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Peterborough preachell a powerful sermon ill support of the work of the Association. 'The Bishop chose as his text, first cbapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Phillipians, ninth verse, c. And thi I pray that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all j lIdglllent." At tbe close of the service a ('o1lection was taken, \\'hidl, after lledl1ctillg the expenses, amounted tv £9 lOs. 7d. T he fourth Annual Cornpetitioll for the Challenge Shield was held at the OIll Town Hall on Thursday, September 19th, 1895. Snrgeon-nIajor IIutton, of Leamington, Organizing Commissioner, St. John Ambulance Assoeiation, acted as ju(lge. The following tealJts took part :-T11e Fire Brigac1e, the Gas Di\'i:;ion, Dorongh Police, Working Men's Club, and the Syston Division.

ANNUAL REPORT. bringing before yom notice the work of the Centre during the past year, the Committae has much pleasure in stating that it has been one of increased activity and success, as many as seven classes having been held, attended by 173 mem bers, to 126 of whom certificates have been granted. Classes have been formed for the pnrposo of instructing Railway employes, both from the South Eastern, and the London, Chatham, and Dover railway companies. In order to carry out the scheme it was found necessary to hold the class on Sunday afternoons, this being the only time when Railway servants in a body are available. The classes were well attended and both examiner and lecturer desire to plaee on record their appreciation of the zeal and energy that were displayed by the men attending these classes. The Committee have approached the Corporation of the Borough of Maidstoue, respectfully urging upon them the importancf\ of the Police Constables being instructed in " first aid." They have reason to believe that their suggestion has met with the favourable consideration of the authorities and that classes will shortly be formed . I~

ANNUAL REPORT.

(Vacant).

Annual Meeting of the Marlow Centre was held on January 29th, 1895, at the I nstitute, Marlow . Owing to want of fuuds it was decid.ed to hold no new classes before September, but Re-examinations for medallions and vouchers were held in June and July; and. a public presentation was arranged [or October. Two new classes were arranged for the ,Vinter session, both to be held in l\Iarlo\\'. It was unanimously agreed to alter the date of the local financial year to correspond with that at head-quarters; so in future the Annual Meeting of the Centre will be held in October instead of January; the date for this year is fixed for October ~5th, at Great Uarlow.

ANNUAL REPORT. DURI -G the past year your committee have to report a fair amount of work performeu in the way of formation antI instmction of classes, the most interesting ieatures of whir-h are the very good attendances and high proportion of ct'rtificatt:s granted compared with the numbers who joined the classes, thus showing the intelligent interest taken in their work by pupils, mostly working men, and the excellent quality of the instruction given by the doctors and their assi,tants in th e practical part. The most notable of the general classes this year ha ,e been the four "first aid" and three' 'nursing" classes, consisting mostly of the wives and uaugh tel'S of the ironstone miners at Normanby and Eston, to whom we remitted one-half the usual fees. We are glad to report that the North-Eastern Railway managers ha\'e shown their increasing appreciation of the value of first aid knowledge among their servants hy having recently decided to form a separate centre for the whole of their system, with local centres in the various divisions. But, nlOst important of all, they have generously conceded the principle, so long contended for by this centre, of i n future providing gratuitously to every railway servant who joins the classes not only the necessary instructions, but also the requisite book and bandage; thus making it absolutely free to all who join the classes. T his is already giving a much desired impetus to ambulance work, and numerous classes are in process or formation or instruction . The medallion will also be presented to every man who (lualifies himself by passing three annual examinations. We have again to regret that so little ambulance instruction is being gi veIl under the Technical Education Committee of the North Riding County Council, for although they nominally offer a 5~ . grant to all who take the S.J.A. A. certificate, to the limit<:d extent of £25 for the whol e North Riding, the restrictions imposed have prevented even this small amount being applied for . The policy seems to us to be misguided, for no object of instruction receiving grants in aid can be of more value t o the public generally than t hat of ambulance knowledge.

and 16 of them passeu the examination conducted hy Surgeon-1\1ajor Hutton. The certificates granted are to be distributed at the Grand Parade this year. The usual instruction in "first aid" was continued dUJ'ing tIle past winter. 1\11'. Cropley, Dr. Green, i'llI'. KelllJelly, 1\11'. Linnell and .U r. Hyde conductcd classes during the year. Of the 117 pupils at these cla ses, 101 pas ed the examination, and most I)f them have joined the Oorps. The medallion 11as been taken by 19 men. There is now a total of 1606 certificates in "first aid," 178 in" lllll'sing," and 548 medallion . . There should be more classes in the tOWll dming the coming winter, in oreler to re-inforce the town divisions of the Oorps. The Committee has maLle a grant to\"\'arc1s the equipment in uniform of nearly jO memhers of the Corps, on condition of three years' efficient service. This has gi\'en great sati faction and ha upplied a fre 11 impetus to the work. Of the" first aid" rendered by the member of thc C01'1)S in :Northampton it i difficult to speak, for the lllodesty of the actors in thi nel(1 prevents the Local Honorary Secretary hearing of lllany of them. There have, however, been 40 ca e reported, and the Police have bad 83 cases. K otwith. tall cling the vigilance of the P olice and the other members of the Corps, ten fractures of the thigh or leg, which should certainly have been removed on propcr appliances, found their way to the Infirmary without proper assistance . Thi' can only be rem euiell by a complete r e-arrangement of the present Stations, alld the all option of various mean. already planned, but failing of execution owing to the lack of funds. The annual presentation of medallions took place on the occasion of th e Grand Parade, July 6th, wben Col. Thackeray, C. B., 1T.(!t., 1l . E., made an official in 'pection of the Corps on the Infirma.ry Gronnus. The follow'i ng day Rev. Canon Bury preached at All Saints' Church: where the officers and member of the Oorps were on parade. The statement of receipts and expenditure does not represent the year's takings and outlay, for it includes nearly all th e snbscriptic,ns of the preceding year, anu does not comprise all those of ihe CUl'rent year. Tlli arises from difficulties in the collection of the special fund, which now amounts to £167 9s. Of thi sum about £35 has already been expended in the part execution of the " cherne ." A further sum of £95 is now appropriateJ to the purchase of an Ambulance ,-ragon, the Committee having accepted the tender of Mr. Clark, of Aberdeen, for its construction. It remains to raise nearly £350 for the completion of the scheme. Two benefit performances 11ave been held in aid 'of the fl1nd · t.his year.

OUR work in Perth has been chiefly amongst the Railway employees of this large Raihmy Centre. Over 200 men in all grades of the Railway service havc receivcd instrllction in "first aid," since the formation of a class by Dr. David H. Stirling, during the winter of 1884-5. Last year increas~d attendance, and thc exigencies of railway service necessitated division of the class into twO sections, mceting on Fridays and Sundays re~pectiv ely ; 75 attended the b,o clasr,es, and 50 received certificates out of 53 who appeared for Examination . In 1890 a Corps was formed under St. John Ambulance Brigade Rules and named the" Railway Station" Corps, with a membership of 28 which has now reached a total of 45. A ('.omplete equipment of material has been provided and is carefully kept ready for use in onc of the rooms at the Station . The Ashford littcr has been found most useful in removing patients to the Hospital, many being brought in by trains from the surrounding district. In addition occasional minor accidents in 01' near the Station require trained assistance. ince the formation of the Corps over fifty cases have received attention . Th e Ambulance ,Yagon is also in fn'qucnt usc. Three years ago the Caledonian Railway Compflny offered a SilYer Challcnge Cup, to be competed for annually by s(]uads of five men from any Corps or class throughout their system. Under noted is the position taken by Perth squad at each Competition ;1892. 1893. 1894. Thinl. Third. Fourth . I n every CtLse the Perth squad was only a few points behind, and in 1 93 the men were awarded five special medals for their snperority in the practical part of theExamination. Last year the North Briti. h Company followed the cxample of the Caledonian Company, and instituted a similar Competition, which took place at Edinburgh. Twenty squads took part and Perth squad secured third place with only two points behind the cup winners.

ANNU AL R EPORT. T ilE work of the Association has been canied on with success in the Centre. Eight classes were examined during the year, cnding December 31st, 1894, six in "first aid," and two in "nursing. " From the former 126 canrlirlates presenterl themselves for examination, 82 gaining" first aiLl " certificates, 37 re-examination vouchers, and five me(lallions, while two only failed . From the" nnrsing" classes, 25 presented themselves for examination, all ofwh0111 were successful. It is with pleasure that we record the fact that the Borough Can 'tables are receiving instruction alld that the members of the Fire Brigade, both thosc who \'olunteer and those employed hy the Corporation have pas ed most sat.isfactorily thruugh a course of l ectures-28 being examined and one only failing to satisfy the Examiner. The occasion of handing certificates and badges to the Firemcn and Con::;taIJle. was made of an interesting public character ;. the men with their engine., escape::;, &c., were forlllec1up in front of the Town Hall, where the layor add res cd them, the :JIllyore 's halHling them the badges of the

" Donations-l\lr. A. lIlallaliell ANNUAL REPORT. I x presenting their Anuual Report to tbe subscribers and supporters of the Saddleworth Celltre of the St. Johu Ambulance As ociatiou, the Committee feel that they have cause to be satisfied with the work which has been (lone . • iDce tIle la t annual meeting, men's classes have heen held at Delph, Dobcross, an(l pl'inghead, amI a ladies' class has beeu held at Dobeross. The students at Ole Delph aml Dobcross men's class were tutorecl by Dr. Herbert Ramsden, and of the forty-seven \\'ho presentcd themselles forty-six passed successfully. Twcnty-four stUUCDts attended the ladies' class, which was also conducteu by Dr. HerllCrt RalllSllen, an(l out of this number there was not a singlc failure. The men's class at ~ pringhead, conducted by Dr. Wakelam, also did \yell, there being but two failures out of tbo twenty-six students who sat for examination . That the knowledge acquired at such cla. ses is of the greatest value has been clearly proved by the number of case' where "first aid" has 10en rellderel1. On A pril 2nd, 1895, William Thomas, ageu two years, of PIaU's Yard, Upper mill , fell into the canal, and was quite unconscious when pulled O~l t. TIll'. J osoph Hinchliffe iJhoe maker, Uppermill, rendered "filst aiu," and Dr. Aspillwall, \\'ho afterwards saw the chilu, certifies that life was unuouUtedly saved hy M r Hinchliffe's prompt efforts. On l\[ay 30th, 1 95, Levi Horsfall, an iron worker at the Dobcross Iron ,Yorks, receive<l a puncture of thc brucltial artery w hibt following his vocation, and we have it on the authority of Dr. Herbert Hamsdell that his life was savell by the 'first aill" rendered by 1\11'. Jo:>eph Hillchlifl'e, of Den, one of his workmates, who has undergone amLulance training. I'. C. Denison, of Delph, has rendered valuaLle services on three occasions during the yeur. On June 20th he was at Dewsbury, on duty, and \\'us there uble to ba11l1age tho il1juries of an old man who had been knocked down 1)y a falling hoarding, his sel'Vices being such that he wa,> warmly congratulated by Captain Despard, the Chief' Con stahle. Two days later, P . C. Denison gave timely help to IIcnry Shaw, of Delph, who had his nose broken by a cricket ball; and on August 22nd he gave" first aid " until the arrival of a meuical gentleman, to haac Hall, of Oluhan~, who had been thrown with great violence from a cart. On September 2nu, William Wood, 'of Calf Hey, Junction, had the artery of the thumb cut by a piece of glass, and hemorrhage was stopped by P.C. Greenwood until Dr. II. Ramsden could properly attend to the injury, So recently as Sunday, September 2211c1, Mr. Joseph IIinchliffo, shoc maker, successfully dislodged a plum stone which had got fast in the throat of ~liss H allam , of Moorgate Street, anu it is probable that he thus saved the woman's life.

Corpoi'CGtion Free C'lasses.-A special feature in the \\ork of the Session has been the inauguration of the Corporation Free Classes. The students in these cJa!'ses have been "ery regular in their attemlance, and have evinced a praiseworthy carllcstness in the accillirement of "first aid" knowledge. Th e importance of tlu: work done in these classes can hardly bc over-cstimated when it is remembercd that the students are ncarly all employed in the large works on the Tyne, where serious accideuts are of such frequent occurrcnce. P ilots' Clctss.-The whole of the memben of this class passed successfully, and the examiner, Surgeon-Major Hntton, 'cxpressed him elf as being very highly pleased with the excellent \yay in which all his questions had ber.n an wered . A long report might be written regarding the effect of all this ambulance training and the valuable" first aiel" rendered by the students of the se"eral classes in cases of accident and sudden illness, but your Committee considers it will be cnough to sati fy tho'e who so generously contribute yen by year to the funds of the Centre, to know that much suffering has been prevented, and that the work of the medical men has been greatly facilitated by the prompt and efficient help rendered Ly tllc Ambulance men. Arrangelilents ha\-e already been made for the carrying 011 of nine classes (induding one for seamen) during the forthcoming session. The sincere thanks of the Committee are due to the medical Ulen who, at sueh great personal sacrifice, bave instructed the stu(lents, amI to the Secretaries of the several classes.

221 Presidents as strong as possible, and have incluued everyone of positioll in the city, sO that I can fall back on them for as istan ce in case of need. I ought to have ad vised you earlier of our formation, but un fortunately my business occupations keep me fully occupied by day, while every moment of my spare time has been dedicated to the St. John Ambulance amI the formation of our Centre. Before closing this I would like to explain that our operations are confined to the City of Buenos Aires only, as the Argentine Society has 110 leav e to work elsewhere, so that it means taking Province by Province until " e have our foothold evcrywheTe , and this is the work I have, et myself to do, and do it I will. I am thankful to say I have the direct promises of the Governors of the Provinces of Buenos Aires, anta Fe and Entre Rios, so that I hope to advise a teady advance until the barbarous customs of to-day have been replace<1 by the h umanital'ian operations of the St. John Ambulance Association. Finally I would adll for your guidance that 111', H. Lovetiny was appointed om ccretary, but a~ he i away on leave in England I have also taken oyer his dUlies. I trnst he will call on you, when verbally he can report what I lta ve endea voured to pu L before you in writing. His L ondon address is care of Gt. oulhem Railway of Buenos Aires, Finsbury Circus, E, C.

ANNUAL REPORT. As you are doubtless aware, Sir Vincent Kennett-Barrington was here in 1892, when he practically "sowed the seed," which has resulted ill the establishment of the St. John Ambulance Association in this R epublic. Kindly allow me to recapitulate the facts, so that our history from its commencement may be clear. Sir Vincent, who is a great friend of mine, express(;d his wOIHler at the existence in th e Argentine of the barbarous custom that no one is alloweu to touch a wounued person until the arrival of the proper authorities, so that constantly death ensues before the most ordinary" first aid" is permitted. I haLl the pleasure of introducing Sir Vincellt to the President of the Republic and several of his miuisters as well as to our most wellknown political men, who all promised their assistance in altering the state of affairs. With this Sir Vincent left us, after having first established a Centre in Buenos Aires, appointing me the R ou. Secretary, ,yhieh post I have since helti. Variolls clas3es have been formed, lectures delivered and a number of candidates passed,-Mr. R. Loveday acting for me as I have incessantly had on my hands the fight for the right to rend er" first aid," without which we are pOlyerless. It 1Y0uld ,,'cary you were I to go into the details of a three years' warfare, and will be more satisfactol")T if I get to what has been done; but I would ask )'ou to bear in mind that we have, or I lDay say with perfect truth, I have had to contend against a custom prevalent in all Spanish speaking conntries, anti one that until no" has never been put on one side; besides which tbe initiative c'lming from a foreign source has made the ta·k a much more difficult one. OlVing to what I ha.ve done (after Sir Yincent Barrington' lead) the Argeutine "first aid" Society, or La Sociedacl Argentin(t de Primeros A ll;I'ilios has been formeJ, with precisely the same objects iu view a,., the t. John Amlmlance A, sociation, but beyond the medical men, medical students and certified U1l1'ses here, some 177 in all, no one has joined the ranks. Tim e after time had I appealed for leave to render" first aid" on behalf of the t. John Ambulance Association; amI at last, owing to the fri endly disposition of Mi s Dr. Cecilia Griersoll, the head of the Argentine Society, matters have been arranged in this manner. That the Argentine Society recognizes the St, John Ambulance Association, and that member thereof duly certified by the Argentine Centre of the t. John Ambulanre Association can enter into and become memhers of the Argentine First Aid ociety without any trouble beyond the payment of a dollar as a fee for the meual to be shown when rendering" first a~(l. " On the strength of th is I called a meeting on the 6th of last month at the Hall of the English Literary Society of Buenos Aires, when I ha(l the pleasure of addressing a very large andience of ladies and gentlelllen, and tclling them what had been done to date. It was unanimously resolved to found an Arflentine Centre here, with tbe intention of extending the work and cstablishillg Cell~res all over the R epublic: at the same time the officers and Committee, &c., of tIle Argentine Centre were elected, and the meeting was good enough to pay me the compliment of electing me President. r enclose you a list of officers, alld on behalf of the Arcrentine to Centre beg to ask that approval be given to the Celltre's formation. Mean whil e I am lJusbing on as actively as possible : a class of over forty stronO" is beina ll eld or , I on) should say, a course oflectures by Dr. Graham Pilgrim is ueiug atten(lecl by the class, and as a result of an explanatory lecture I gave at one of OUI' suburbs on the 9th inst . , a detached class (the Quilmes class) has been formed there of twenty-nine, with Dr. J. O'Conor as lecturer, commencing next week. I hav e now four or five more suburbs to attack before going elsewhere, I have made our list of H Oll . Prcsident and Vice-

REPORT.

Cenh'al Executive Committee in L ondon auctioned last year the formation of a Council for South Africa, which, accordiug to the rules laid uown for its guidance, approved of au (1 promulgated by heacl-qnal'ters, St. John's Gate, ClerkrlJ \\'ell, has paramount authority over all centres and sections in South Africa, frow Cape Agulhas to the Zambesi. The Councll, in prescnting its fir't Annun.l Report, congratulates the members of the As ociaiion Oll the yigorou growth of ambulance "\\ork in Southern Africa within the last few years. The Cape Celltre has 1Il0re than held its own during the last year. The Orange Free State hopes to figure \\'ell in the coming returns . British BeellUanaland has clone good work alrefldy, a1ll1 gives promise of still better results in the fntme. The success of the Transvaal {Johannesburg) Centre is ([uite phenomenal. The Coullcil tru, t that llexL year Natal will be represented on the Board, ani] that then also even distant l\Iashonaland and Matabeleland will DoUure well in the reiurns. The Council rCIlOl't , witb l'C'uret 0' the loss through death of nIl'. A. II . IIarpel' (representing British Bechl1allalanll). The loss of 1111'. Harper's services has been keenly felt by the Council, who greatly appreciated his quiet, able, and valuable co-operation . The Conneil lias great pleasure in recoruing that H . R. H. the Prince of ,Vales and the Council ancl Chapter-General have recognised the di~tingLlished service in the cause of the St. John Ambulance Association by recommending to H er Majesty the Queen, who has been graciously pleased to approve the same, the enrolment of ~Ir. Andrew J. Fuller, (the Treasurer-Gen eral of the Council) as an Honorary Associate of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem in Eli gland . The d eparture of Professor Lieumann (the Secretary-General) on leave, gave the Council an opportunity of testi fyin g their appreciation of the work done by him in connection with the Asso ciation, and at apublie meeting held in N ovember last, presided over by General Sir William G.

CLIFF ACCIDENT AT LYTTELTilN :-A telephone llles age frol11 Sumner having been received at Lyttelton on Novembcr lOth to the effect that two boys had fallen oyer the cliff near the lighthonse, the Harbonr BoaI'Ll tug, having on boanl Dr. Pairman and two constables with an ambulance b'etcher, was at onre despatched . On aniving, it was found that the hro lads named Alexander (sixteen) and Oecil Rarusey(eighteen)sonsofthe H on . W . O. Walker, LL. O. , were lying at the foot of a kind of gutter, down which they had fallen for a distan ce of ninety feet, resulting in the younger lnd having one thigh broken and th e flesh badly torn, while the other lad escaped with a shaking and a few scratches. Endeavours were maue to reach tho lads with a boat, but this had to be given up after everal attempts, lasting some hours, and their rescue was finally effected by lIlr. ,V. inclair, one of the tug's crew, landing on the other side of the clift' ~nd climhing to the top, whence it line was lowered , down which inclair swanneu . Having reachetl the uisablerl lad, he secured the broken limb by lashing it to the sound one; then, hoisting the boy on his back, he climbed up the rope hand over hand to the top of the cliff, which he had to sit astriue of, wbile he slung young Walker in a bo,dine amI lowered him dowll the other side to the boat's crew. The sufferer was then taken Oll board tho tug, where the broken limb was set by Dr. Pairman . The other lad was able to climb the rope without assistance. A HFORD LITTERs.-Four of these, wheelru and on delicate springs, each with a hamper of surgical requisites, are tationed at the Police, Railway, alHl Fire Brigade D epots in Ohristchurch, for the public benefit in case of acciclen t Ot' sickness. An ambulance stretcher is also placeLl at the lIlerivale Par:ionage. This year the members of the Fire Brigalle Oorps, with. the litter in their charge, have conveyed to the Hospital or el ewhere 27 patients. Th o sum of {;-1 16s. h<1:; boen expended by the Association in paying for the men's time awl flll'1lishing anll repairing litters and hampers. Fees amountillg to £2 Os. 6Ll. have been received by the Association from the persons benefitted who coulr1 afford to pay. HOR E rl.MBULANCE.-This, by llleans of special sub.3criptioll and the help of tbe Hospital BoaI'd, we have been able to oUtain from St. John's Cate. It is of the latest pattern, and is capab le of being used for one 01' two patien ts n,t a time, on stretchers, with room for an attendant inside. It is furnished with india-rubb'r tyres as well as springs, and may therefore be relied 011 to remove invalids with comparative comfort. This is now stationed at the Ohcster treet Fire Brigade Station, and may be engaged on application to Mr. George Fuller, on the premise. Its use for infections cases is prohibited. MI'. Fuller is furnished with a scale of charges which he is authorised to collect on behalf of the Association. We have now 41 professional nurses on the R egister CJ.ualified to serve in acconchement, medical, and surgical cases. Some of the nurses formerly on the Register have not subscribed to the new rnles, but those that hayc are observing t hem well. The Secretary has received letters from persolls who llave made use of the R egister to obtain nurses, expressing satisfaction and pra.ising the usefulness of t he Institution. T he thanks of the Association are as usual due to the Medical Staff for their generous help in the way of gratuitous lectures and instruction to classes, as well as the performance of the equally responsible and critical task of examining. The L ecturers were Drs. G. E. Deamer, James Murdoch, J. H . l\Illl'ray-Aynsley, A. L. Devenish·M:eares, J . O. Palmer, and E . P. S. Gane, at Ohristchurch ; Drs. H . A.

It has been handecl over to thc Otago Harbour Board, and is placed in the Harbour-master's oUire on the Rattray Street 'Yharf, where it is available in the event of any acci(lent OCCUlTing in COllnection with the shipping, &c. Intilllation was receivc<l during the year from the Chief ecretary at St. John's Gate, London, that the Ccntral Executive Committee had, in accordallce with a recol11melHlation lllalle, appointed Dr .

BEFORB reporting on the work done by the Dunedin Centre of the t. John Ambulance Association for the year ending 31st December, 1894, the Committee take the opportunity of referring to the loss of two of its office-bearers. By the lamented death of the late Rev. Dr. Stuart the Association lost one of it Vice-Pre idents, alld a friend who was ever ready to assist the local Ceutre and further thc can c of ambulance work generally. Prior to the commencement of la t session the Centre a150 lost the services of Mr. ,Yo B. Fishel', in conseCJ. ncnce of his departure for 'V ellington . Mr. Fisher had acted as Hon . Secretary of the Dunellin Ccntre since its establishment as a branch of the organisation of St. John, awl the Committce took an early opportunity of placing on record their high appreciation of the services which he had rendered to the Association, and of testifying to the zeal which he had Ji played in the carrying out of the duties of his office. It is mainly o'Ying to the exertioll of 1'111'. Fisher that the Centre is to-day in snch a prosperous position. The Annual Meeting was held on 29th May, when the Hon. the Premier and Mrs. Seddon were present, the latter kindly presenting the certificates to those who had been successful in pas ing the examinations of the lll'evious year. Mr. eddoll, in the course of his remarks, paid a high tribute to the usefnlness of an ambubnce training, and promised to use his influence with a vie,Y to furthering the cau e. Unfortunately the medallions did not arrive from EnglallJ in sufficient timc to be presented at this meeting, and the Committee had them distributed privately on receipt. The attenrlance at the town classes held during the session has been very gratifying; in fact, in most cases too many pupils have bcen enrolled, and ncxt season the Committee purpose considerably reducing the maximum number a]]olyc(l for each class. The total Dumuer of members' tickets issued during the year was 297. In Dun edin, instruction in "first aid" was given to ,yomen by Dr. Will, and to men by Dr. Barnett, the examination of b')th classes being comlucted by Drs. Macpherson and Teevan . The nursing class was again uncleI' the charge of Dr. Jeffcoat, Drs. Gordon Macdonald and Closs acting as examiners. The class at the Hillside Railway Workshops was also continued, the lecturer lleing Dr. Smith, and the examiner Dr. :JlcKellar. At Kaitangata, Dr. Thl)mson lectured to a largc class of men, Dl'. Fleming, of Balclutha, undertaking the work of examination. A satisfactory commencement has also been marIe at Palmerston, where Dr. Hislop lectured during the year to classes both for men and for women. Dr. Dc Lautour, of Oamaru, kindly gave his services, and travelled to Pnlmerston for the purpose of conJucting the examination of the classe . . The Committee regret that the Port Chalmers class was not resumell last session, but it is hopeJ that during the forthcoming year it will be recol11mel1ceJ, and all opportunity afforded tothose who have obtained their first year's certificates offmther pursuing the course of instruction. There are a number of other ccntLes of population where the Committee desire to

John Ambulance Brigade has jn t been receivell from head-quarter", and next session the officers will be in a position to give more attention to the stretcher and other drill of the members. Dr. Clo" has rendered valuable assistance to the Co rps, and Supe:,intendent Mearns and his officer haye been unremitting in their el1Lleavours to further i ts interC'st anu extenu its useful ness.

Some fifty ladies atlemlecl both courses, taking a very liYE-l) interest in the proceedings. T\\'en ty-four \\'ere examined. 1>y Dr. Boor in "first aid," of whom twenty duly q uali fied for certificates, and, of even teen who were subseC] llently examined in "nursillg," all satisfied the Examiner. The best thanks of the Committee are accorded to Dr. Boor for conducting the Examillations sillce the formation of the Centre, anLl to Dr '. Hudson and Roberts for aga.in hel ping by deli vering the Leetnrcs. Our credit balance is being reserved to purchase an Ashford Litter for public use in our Cily, ,\'bieh desirable object we hope to accomplish at an early time. Although I cannot report any sen ational cases of the knowledge obtained at our cla 'se:; being used, I may say that pupils are findillg the knowledge very useful in mallY minor cases.

The offer or a c1tallell~e :::hield allCl medals for competition amongt-t the ladies was perhaps rer:;poll'lble fot' a 1llarkc'd increase in the unmber of the companies of the fair sex who took pnl'L ill the day':l proceedings, There were 11 detachment formed as follows: Dtu1ll.>), :W, Clitheroe 9, Accrin~toll 18, Pac1iham 8, PresIon 12, Colne 12, Ureat Harwood 1:3, Reac19, N ebon 30, Brierfield 7, and Barrowforu 17.

After tIle ill"PC'('\ iolt Lord Knut"ford, who was loudly cheered, said this WIIS the first, ofIicial yi"it he had paid since be was made Director of the Ambulance Dcpartlll(1)I. a11(l he could assure them that it ~ave him the profoundest atitifaction tlmt. that "i,it shonld be madc to a Division \\'l1o'e excellent work w as sO well kuowil nt, lll';{d Q,uaders, Ha,ing ill~pected them and seen them llJ'trclt P;If<t. he COllld gldllly report to hi" colleagues that their appreciation ofthe good W'l1'k of thl .t\ 0:111-1<:a"t Lan cashire Divibion was fully .i ustified, lie wished to l'XPl'l'SS his l'c;,!l'f.:t in the first place that the i>Iayor's invitation to Field i>IaJ'sllal LOl'd Houer!" could not be accepted by him. Lord Roberts had himself pcrtiolJall)' expressed to the speaker his regret thnt he was unable to attend on that ol'cllsioll. The great glory of the work was voluntary work, Voluntary work of aL kinds, 11lilittl!y and civil, had tf} meet at first with a cons~derable amOU1lt, of o]lp()~ition, WIth a con iderablC' amount of chaff, and with cOllsi(lf'raule (10111) s a" to whether it was useful. or if useful. whether it would he Pt'l'l1Htllent. But good work would sllnrjve opposition, i t would survive goo I-humoured chaff and di spE'l clonhtf<, and that was exactly what the a~llbulaJlee work had done ill this country; al1d he was happy to say IIOt in thi' eoulltry only, but in the colonies, where the work had largely extended. There was 110 doubt th~t the work W8S most u eful in war, but he very much questioned wh~ther it was not of more importance in times of peace, In time of war. aCCIdents got concentrated in a i:hort time. but they must conf'idt'r tllis-thal if they excluded children (and he did not kllOW wI)), they Rhoull b' 'xclncll'd) , 2.000,000 accidents happened every year, In conclusion, his lor(bhip advi~cc1 them all to put their shoulder.; to th e wheel, and help on the ambulance wOJ'k as far . as t.hey conld, remarking that he was glad to l10tice tllat. tIle COll1lLy COUlICll were assisting them. and that the police forcE'S were now plying grl:'at a tt ention to the subject" 'J he Commi sionel' said that sinf'e the last review that 1m' IY e di-tri/,t had b ecome a portion oE the Brig-ade under District IV., by which ~nealls the work o~ ,t~le organization would be better mallaged, The di ::;trict (;ollPi:-teu of 14 dlVl f<lOl1R or corpQ, numbering in all 1,032 mem b el'S.

I h lye tilt; honour to suhmit extracts [rom the reports of the se\'eral Di\'isions of the '\Id~(}politan Corl's. IIa\'ing- onl), recently taken oyer charge of the District. [ have not ytt heen :lhle to inspect any of the Dil'isions, anJ for the following statement of the I\ork done by the .\letropolitan Corps during the pa 't year I am indebteti to my inddttig:tble Chid uJ erintelldent, '\Ir. \Y. II . .\lorgan: The :\Ietmp )liL.tn Corps has continued to make steaJy progress during the pa.st year. two Ilell Divisions ha\'e been fOlmed, and its general efticiency has b;!en well maintained. The numerical strength is, however, not so large as laSt year owing to the Briga.de reJui:ttion Jealing with efficiency haYing been strictly adhered to; thus a hrge number of men II ho hal e failed to present themselves for annual re·examination bave been remol'eJ [rom the register. This is, ho\\,eyer, counterbalanced by the fact that the whole of the ex isting membel s are thoroughly efficient-a \'ery im portant feature, tak ing into consideratio n the large amount of public duty annually performed by the Corps. The am buiance duty undertaken with the a ppro\'al of the Lontion County Council an Corporation of the it.\' of London upon the open spaces has been continued Ilith much success. T\\'o adJitional open spaces have been attendeti by detachments fully equipped, making in all [!\'t.: "hieh the members of the Corps attend on each Bank lIoliday. .\ , ery large number of cases has bet n treated on each occasion, thus sho\ling the importance and neeJ of sLlch a mUlemenl, "hich is fully recognised llj' the authorities. The .\nnual J nspection again took place in the O';uJens of Gray's In n by kinJ permi,;;;i()n 0l'the Bel1L'hers. The par.tde was under the com · manti of Chief 'Ilperintendellt \\'. J. 'hurch Brasier. and after a careful inspection of the accoutremen IS, eq ui pmen t and hospi tal ten ts by the Commissioner, Co!. Thackeray, the 'orps marched past beatied by the Brigade band. 'ubsequently the Corps gave a display of ambulance \\'ork as practised in the streets on public occasions and upon th e open spaces on the various B.tnk IIolidays; and the men were then formed up in square and addressed hy the Com mis~ioner, \1 ho com plimented those presen t upon their sma rtness and the way in \\ h ich they had performed thei r WOI k. The members upon parade were as follows :-T\\o I I on. urgeons, I Chid 'uJler in tendent, 17 Ambulan ce Offi cer5, 166 Rank and File, allli 30 .:\ursinO' ~isters . Th e l\nnual Camp of In st ruction \I <IS again held at Dent-de-Lion, \\'estO'ate-on· ea, l\!r. "\ .. \.

The work in this Dil'ision continues to be keenly maintained, and the officers and supernumerary officers may be congratulated on the able and energetic way in which they are at all times supported by the members. The call for yolunteers for public duty is one that is always well responded to by officers and men alike. The Division has lost the services of 1st Offi.cer i\. J. Trimmer, he hal'ing been promoted to Superintendent of to res of ~o. I District OIetropolitan Corps) ; this they very much regret, but at the same time congratulate him on his promotion. The drills take place every \\'ednesday at IIead-quarters. Ayerage attendance 10. The memhers express their sincere thanks to Lady Superintendent Church Brasier, the Lady Xurses, the Brigade hid. uperintendent, and Chief Superintendent 1Iorgan, for their kindness in attending at the :.\Iildmay Club and distrihuting the certifi.cates won by the members, and it is hoped Ilith the classes no\\' starting that the Dil'ision will be able to augment its numbers.

17 1\1embers. Thi s Divi sion is as yet in its infancy, its formation ha\' in g taken place so recentlt as March last, originating through a "first aid" class which was started at the Club at the in stigation of th e Divisional H onorary Secretary. Th e present membership is 17, wi th a prospect o[ a speedy increase . Drills are held [ortn igh tly; the mem bers sho w a deep interest in their work, and are exceedingly enthusiastic, a result largely due to the excellent example sel by the IJ onorary Surgeon, who has expressed himself more tha n grat ified with the res ults of his ow n and the officers' efforts. Since the format ion, about a dozen ca~ e~ ha\'e been successfully treated, b Ul as there have so far been no official "turn ~-ollt." the Division ha s yet to prove its capabilities, an opportunif. }' for showin g \\hi ch it is hoped will not be long delayed.

This Division was formed in June, 1893, and is composed of the employes of Messrs. 'Vaterlow & Sons, Limited. During the year under review, the Di\ Ision has undergone a thorough re-organization. Drills are held weekly and are well attended by the members, who have also done pUblic duty on many occasions. The Case Record Book s~ows that the number of cases treated during the year is 177, making a t?tal ~f 38 SInC~ the formation of the Di\·ision.

The one event of the last t\\'eb;e months, \\ hich o\'ershadows all others in connenion with this 1)lvi sion, is the death of the late Presiuent, General CoplandCraw[oru, j{.A., in F ehruary last, at \I hose funeral the Diyision furnished a Guard of IIonour. B\" his death the ambulance Walk 111 the district has lost a \ery energetlc and kind fri~nJ. 1 Je always pointed to the fact that it was the kno\\ledFe acquired at the classes here \\ hich ena bleu his son, Major P.

A display was also gil'en at the Local IIorticultural S ociety's Sholl'. On hoth these latter occasions the Nursing Sisters gave a di splay of roller bandaging. The sen'ices of the Dil'ision "'ere formally requisitioned by The London and Torlh 'Yestern Railway i\.thleti c Club at their meeting at Ken sal Rise, hut no casualties occurred. r\. poor woman having been found late one evening with a fractured thigh, the case, at the request of the surgeon, was conveyed to Unil'crsity College H ospital that night, thus again demonstrating the usefulncss of the Dil'i~ion to the neiahbourhood . As a mark of appreciation of ,york done, the Tru stees of the \Yemhley Charities yoted 1.0 the Diyision a sum adequate to fit up a stretcher station at ,\Iperton.

The nursing of the sick poor of the llistrict has been well maintained; over 20 cases, involving some 40:J vi sils, having been reported.

To THE CO:-'DII STONER, ST. JOHC'! A:'-'fBULA . 'eE BRTGADE. SIR,

I ha\'e the honour to submit to you my first Annual Report for Dis rict Xo. II. From the Official Register kept at TTead-quarters, I find there are +0 Divisions. But I lun not heen able to completely ver ify this, as several Divisions ha\'e failed to send me any reply to the Circular Letter I addressed to them. I rearet to find that for some time past certain of these ha\'e done but little or no work, indeed in som<.; instances they are practically dormant. I am in hope, however, tbat during the coming year I shall have the opportunity of visiting tbese Divisi ons, and as a result, [ trust th'lt work will once more be actively resumed. [t is my intention also to ad\'ocate in conjunction with the \'arious County Councils and other aoyerning bodies, the promotion of ambulance competitions, believing as I do from experience gained during the recent competitions in the County of Kent, held under the au~pices of the County Council, that tbese engender a spirit of healthy rivalry among the various Divisions in the County. :'Ily appointment as Deputy Commissioner to this District has been of too recent a date to admit of my tra\'elling over the \\hole of the large area \\hich it covers. I have, ho\\e\"er, inspected the following Di\'isions, accompanied by the Brigade Chief Superintendent: Faversham, Herne Bay, Westgate -on- 'ea, and Whitstable, and I have much pleasure in reporting that the ambulance \\ork, ~, oth in first aid and in drill was in the main well carried out, sbowing that the memters have received careful instruction at the hands of the Medical and Ambulance Officers. For the mo~t part the men 5howed a ready resource in extempori . ing splints, &c., for the treatment of the supposed injuries. 1 was pleased to no te that the5e Di\'isions are heing- in . lIuCled in the Drill laid dm\n in the Official :\hnual; and, although it has been in the hands of the members but a short time, the various exercises ,,,ere gone throu~h very creditably. As the majority of them are \\'olking men, this pro\-es that, pro\'iJinz the Ambulance Officers of a Division will only take the pains to make themselves efficient, the men of the Division will readily emulate their example. 1 am a:50 plea:ed to report tbat the stre:chers and other appliances Were in good order. 1 regret thal two Divisions, namely :\largate and Ramsgate, which iormed part ot the gruup for inspection on this occasion. failed to put in an appearance. It i-' \\ i th much pleasure tha t I ha \e to report the extension of the work on the Lon don, Ch-aham, and Dover Railw:l}, and London, Brig-bton, and outh Coast Railway. Tbe former company is now acti\'e!y eng-:lO'ed in the formation of large classes which "ill be instructed dU1 ing the ensuing \I inter, and I am glad to mention the kindly interest taken in tbe 1I10\'ement by :\1r. \Yilliam Forbes, Traffic Manager, allLl bi~ starf, as undoubtedly the encouragement gi\-en to the work by those in authority doubly commends it to the men. Considering the larger number of invalids \\ ho tra\ clover these railways hoth to the coast and to tbe Continent, it iSL matter of satisfaction to know that the railway men \lho may be called upon to assist in conveying them to the train or boat are thoroughly trained in amhliance work . ep to the present little has heen done in thiS District to\\ard~ the formation of Nursing Di\isions. But I am desirous of ~eeing \\omen \\'ho ha\'e aone through the -ursing course and ha\'e ohtained their certificate~, el,rolled. These X ursiHg Divisions would undouhtedly pro\'C of great value in l'OL.JlllY places, w here it is not always possible to obtain the services of a professional nurse. Although many of the Di\ isions in the District h:tye not as yet adopted the uniform, there appears to be generally a desire to do so. .\ nd in connection \\ ith this it is my intention to see tbat the Dress Regulations \I hich ha \'e recei ved the approva l of the Central Executi \'e Committee, tbe 'hapter and Council of the Order, and of H.R.H. the Grand PIior, a re strictly adhered to. This seems to me to le essential, bearing in mind that in the early part of this year an Act of P arliament 1elating to un iforms was passed, thereby rendering it necessary that tbe unl form \\ orn by this Brigade should 1 e of one ~uthorised pattern. In conclusion my thanks are due to all officers in my District \\ bu bave kindly gi \ en me their assistance . Bellc \ e me to remain. dear ~ir, your ohedient sen'ant,

Since the formation of the Di\'ision in I~90, e\'ery effort has been made to compktc Our stores and to equip the members suitably [or any emergency that might present it self. and 1I0W we ha\'e two stretd1crs, a \\ hec1eu liller, and a " 'agon at our disposal for the COil \ cyance of patienls. During the year t\\el\'e additional satchels haxe becn supplied to the mClnbers, makillg- IS in all. and it is hoped that during the coming year c\ery member \\'ill h.: supplied with this necessary equipnlCl1l, so that at any moment tlwy may he readily prepared to render first aid to the injureu. There arc now Lto cases in the OCCU1Tence book, o[ which 36 occurreu

since the last annual meetin CT , and q members haye ren d ered sen·ice. T he \yaCTon has been used on twelve occasions during the past year in com'eying il1Yalids t o different parts of the Island, and in every case entire satisfaction has been gi\·en. 'Y ith regard to the other occurrence, it is very gratifying to inclu.:le in this report that \ye have also gi\'en entire satisfaction. T his is manifested by the letters of thanks we ha\'e recei,'ed both from patients themselves anu their relatives anu friends, some of whom have desired to become annual subscribers to our funds. This year the Division has made a new departure by assisting in thede \'elopment o[ ambulance work in other to\yns and villages in the I sland, anu it is generally hoped, now that ambulance work has been regarded as a fit subject for the Technical Education Committee to entertain, t hat ere long e\'ery to\\l1 and village of this Island may boast of its ambubnce Di\·ision. Eighteen members of the Di \'ision CTa ve a demonstration on '''hit :\ Ionua), at ~arisbrooke Castle of am bulance \\'ork, which was greatly a ppreciated. The Di\'i~ion was represen ted at the Port mouth demonstration. A team took part in the Ryde ambulance competition and "'as successful in securing the first prize. On OctOber 22nd a capital smoking concert \yas gi\'en by the Di,·ision. This has been a most successful year both with regard to the manner in which the members ha\'e c:uried out the duties which have devolved upon them, and \yith regard to the furtherance of ambulance \,"ork in the I sland generally, which taken together reflects no small credit on the superintendent. Our thanks are again due to Capt. E\'eleCTh and :\ [ 1'. Pragnell, for the use of theIr la m1S [or outdoor drill.

Cntil \'cry recently, arrangements han.! always been made for the presence of a few membcrs of the Di\'ision at large gatherings, such as the Bath Races, IIorse ~hows, c·c. , but these have had to be disconl1nued in consequence of no funds being a\'aibble to meet the expenses. The annual entertainments, which ha\'e heretofore leen given, were of great assistance in impro\'ing the financial position of the Di\ bion, sums of [50 and up"ards having been raised at each entertainment durinCT the first two years after the organization of the Di,ision, but in I 93 and 1.'9+ losses \\ere sustained, and the useful work of I endering I. first aid" has, in consequence, been much hampered.

The attendance of m embers at drill was very small, so few of them being properly interested in the work .. A .great amounl of good has been done by the Division on the various works in the dlstnct;. there were a large number of cases of accidents attended to by our members.

Mr. J. R. Stamp. The Committee has pleasure in reporting that the past year's work of .the Corps will be1.r fa\'ourable comparison with that of any former year .. Th~ prestIge of the Corps has been fully maintained, and it h~s now r~acheJ a hwh pitch of excelle~ce. Its popularity amongst the citizens of BlI'J11Ingha.m 1~ a~sured, and no u~~llOnstrali~11 is no\\- complete unless a contingent of the Corps IS III attenuance. I l!f; cases In which ( first aid" has been rendered are more numerous than ever, and a vast amount of pain and suffering has been relie\'ed by the care with wbi~h it has bee~1 auministereJ. In the matter of transport of invalids, the calls on the servIces of the Corps In\'e heen numerous. Several chanO"es amonO"st tbe administrative officers ha\'e taken place since the last report, anl'there has'''been an addition to the number of tl~e Divisions. OwinO" to the lamented death of :\Ir. Alderman R. C. Barrow, the Committee was for some ~ime \\'ithout a chairman, but :\1r. Alderman S. Edwards \ery kindly '.lcceded to the wi~hes of the members and notwithstanding- hi" many and onerous dUlles, pbced his sen'ices at their dispos~l. The Vice-Chairman, :\lr. Charles Uunt, :\l.InsLC.E., to the great regret of the Committee, resiO"neJ in Octo~er last. They \\'er~ fo.rtunate in securing the sen'ices of :'Ilr. A. R. Tozer, the Supenntendent of the BIf'mlngham Fire Brigade, and one of the: first members of the Committee, to fill tbe post thus rendered "acan t. The competition for tbe Challenge Shield, a very handsome trophy, took place in December last, and was won by the L. & . 'IV. R. Division. The shield will Le competed for annually. A scheme is under consideration whereby members of the Corps who show conspicuous ability in rendering (( first aid" will receive from the committee a suitable acknowledgment. " . The follO\\'ing information as to the work of the Corps will be read With I11terest :_ The police bave used the ambulanc~s stati()J1ed at. the ~ire Sta~io.n~ on 80 occasio.ns, and those at the Railway Stations 23 tImes. The Fire Bngade DIVISion bave had nllle Transport Cases, and lent ambulances to private persons on three occasions. Am?u lances and Stretchers have been lent for displays and classes to the G. W. R. Co., L. & T. W. R . Co., Ebenezer Schools, Boys' Brigade, &c . On tbe 8th February an ambulance and men were in attendance at the Sports at Perry Barr. Ambulances ha\'e also been lent for the assistance of the public at Bingley II all Cattie Show, Birmll1gham Fair, Cbarity Sports, Reservoir, Edgbaston Pool. At the Cbarity Sports two ambulances were in charge of nine certificated members. On tbe I 7th October on the occasion of the Cycle Parade, three ambulances were in attendance of certifi~ated members of the L. & . \iV. R. Co., G. \\T. R. Co., anJ Handsworth Divisions; in addition to this the Fire Brigade Division had in their charge an (. Argus:> Van Tricycle equipped with material to render c. fir~t aid." On the occasion of the visit of their R. H. the Duke and Duchess of York, 1894, the Corps had 12 ambulances with 3 certificated members in charge of each, placed in various positions along the route. The 8ervices of the members were frequently called into requisition, no less than 47 cases being successfully treated; of these, lwo were cases of epilepsy, one fracture, 12 wounds, remainder faints. The Chief Constable, J. Farndde, Esq., sent a letter to the committee wa rmly thanking them for their services. On the occasion of the L ife Boat Demonstration, four ambulances, fully equip; ed and in charge of 23 members of the Brigade, attended. Calls and materials h" \'e I~een used from the fire alarm boxes on three occasions.

The Committee have once more to tender their hearty thanks to the \Vatch Committee for the free use of a Committee room at the Chief Fire Station; to :\lr. Superi.llendent Tozer, and the members of the Fire Brigade for their attention on the occasion of monthly meelinO"s; and to the representati\'es of the Local Press \\ho are most kind in publishing accounts of the monthly meetings, and in bringing before the public any details of work done by its members. The Committee trust that the O"eneral public will assist the members of the Corps by donations, so that there shall be ~o lack of ,\[aterial \\'herewith to carryon the work. ~Iore ambulances are required for parts of the to\\I1 where, for want 01 the same, injured and sick persons ha \'e to be remO\'ed in cab ', C\:c., thereby oftentimes causing much pain and inconvenience. Birminrrbam has always been foremo:-.t in monetary assistance for charitable purposes, and it i'~ hoped that the needs of the 5t. John Ambulance Brigade will not be overlooked. -C;'.IBER OF :\[E:\IBERS IX E.-\.CH DIY]srO:--1 A);D CASES REPORTED

Thi s Division, though in its infancy, h,\s a n acti\'e strength of 8 men in uniform and 19 not in uniform. In submitting our first report we are very pleased to say that much gO(KI work has been accomplished by its members on various occasions. On Jun e 15lh, six memlKrs of the Corps attended the Crewe Alexandra Athletic Festi\'al, where se\'en cases \\ere treated for "hich we received special mention in the local press. Our Superintendent, while on holidays, was called to a boy having had his hand in some machinery. H aying rendered immediate" first aid," he cOl1\'eyed the boy (l\ er three miles to Stockport Infirmary, \\here amputation of the hanu was founu necessary. I n Crewe, or , as it is termed, the" raih\'ay town," we hear of lllany accidents in the large engine works, and it is pleasing to note that the majority of our memhers, being employed in the works, have many times materially assi!:ited their cumrades when in distress. Our members are particularly anxious to make themseh'es thoroughly efficient in the new drill, also to increase the number of members, so that in the near future \\c may expect to have a large corps and at the same time hope to upholu our Borough m otto" Never Behind ."

A mbnlnilce Rriyrule, !lea)' 18D5. As Deputy Commissioner ,for thc .\"orth \\Testern Di~trict (:\0. IV.), I herewith beg to present my Peport for the ycar ending 30th September, 1895. I may "ay that as I only had the honour ofreceiving my appoil, t ment last .\ugust, 111y statement must !le of necessity ~xtremely. brief. The . District placed under my charge is one of great lmportance, seelllg' that It emhraces the t\\·o counties of Lancasbire and Yorkshire. 'Y ith lheir en())'mnus population, one l\'Quld naturally expect to find the large cities and boroughs leading the way in amlJulance energy and training, but, so [.11' as I can make out, quite the reverse is the case. I \11.S much struck and surprised ,,,hen I became aware of the fact tInt nei~her Manchester or Liverpool possessed a thoroughly orgallizeu Aml lulance Corps. It is rather in the outlying districts and small boroughs that one finds the most efficicnt Corps and Di\·isions. By the extensi \re area co\ered hy thc Xo. 1\'. District, I ba\e ample opportunity placed atmydisposal for thc de\'elllpmcllt of amhulance organization, and I only trust I may be ahle to de\'ote sufilcient Lime out of m)' husy life as a general medical practitioner to do justice to lhc illlporLant post 1 ha\'e undertaken. ,. , The ~l). ]\1. or .0.'orth \\'estern DisL1:iet St. Jobn Ambulance Brigade, in 1895 is compost.:d Llf .j. C(>rps and :!2 Di\ is ions "iLh ;t total strength of 1,336 officers and men, an Increase of 3 Corps, 5 Dil'isio ns, and 30-1- officers and men since your Report for 1895 \\';IS issued. :\Cl\' Corps l1a\'e been fllrmed at Burnley, Rochdale and :\elson and nel\' Divisions at Brierfield, Clitheroe, 1IaI)ton, Huncoat, LOllerridere' Sabden , and . \\'halley. I ,11ll sorry to b.lye to report the fact that some Di\'isions have through \'arious ath'ersc ClrCulllstances to withdraw from the District. I may name the follo\\'ing-:De\\'sb ury, :'Ileltharn, and l\IUlccambe. 1 sincerely trust that these names are not to be permanently erased, lJUt that their several troubles may be overcome, and that these Divisions may SOLln reLurn to their former prosperous condition. I h<l\'e been unable to inspect allY of these Corps or Di\-isions, but I hope by next year to hc in a position to report that I have pcrsonally bad the pleasure of seeing each unit. :\lany slllall defects ha\'e to he remedi'!d, but no doubt in a lillIe time, and \I ith the help of the olhcers of the various Coq.lS and Dl\·isions, more uniformity may l>e obtained. Tbe greatdifficultywiLh most di\'isions is the question of money, and th~ trouble at time;; experieneed in raising sufli.cient funds LO pro\'ide uniform and other ambulance necessaries amoLlnts to and produces great discouragement. The public are apt to forg-et Lbat Ambulance :\[ en when they ask for a little pecuniary as;;istance are not hegging for themselves or any selfish 11l0ti\'e, but they are actuated by ;t desire to I elie\ e Lbe suffering- or e\'en sal e the life of their fellolV man without asking- the smallest ft.:e or rCII'ard. Turning no\\ to the formatil1l1 of .:\'ursing Di\·isions, I have the pleasure to notify a marked increase. In I 9+ only one Nursing- Dilision existed in tbis District, with a strength of ~o .\"'Jrsin CT Sisters, nOlI I have charge of one Corps and II Divisions, giving- a total strength of -1-50; this br,lnch uf ambulance work has advanced by leaps and bound . Re\'ie\\s \Iere held at Blackpool on the 29th June, when some 40-1- men and ISS rursing ~ isters were inspected, Lord Knutsford also being present, and at Rochdale. An account of the latter review will be found under the special report on th is Ct))'ps. 1 bave appended to ~his report, first, a list of the Corps and Divisions forming the North-'VesLern District, and also an ,\ bstract Tlble gi\'ing some information as to officers and the strengths of several Corps and Di\'isions, \"ith a list of Xursing Dilisions. In cO:lc1usio n, I can only trust that this short statement may merit your approval. ~

I have the h ono ur to be, your obedient sernnt, Louth lI ouse, Bamber Bridge, Near Pre -;ton, 20th :\ O\'Clll ber, I Xg 5.

The Corps in its present form was reconstructed from the old Corps and various "first aid" Classes on 1st June, 1892. Since then practice ane! in<truction has been g-iven once a week. The orps bas paradeJ [or inspection at four of the ='forth-East Lan cashire Division re\·iews. As regards the work of rendering" first aid" [or this year, assistance has heen Riven in some 60 cases. In many instances tbe correctnes" of the help g-iven has gaineJ tbe higb praise o[ the medical profession. Much difficulty is experienced in g-etting the men to fill up the" accident forms" supplied to them. During- the year 3I men have been put into the unif0rm of the St. J ohn Ambulance BrigaJe, these men paying for their o\\'n uniform. A larg-e increase of members is confiJently looked forll'arJ to; this augmentation is to be derived from new classes. Good central IIead-Quarters are much required; hopes are entertained tbat these premisec; may soon be secured. A g-reat desire exists to make the ambulance service popular. This Corps has a good sum of money to its credit. l\bterial in possession of the Corps: I Whe eled Litter, 6 Street Boxes, fully furnished with all necessaries required in rendering (( first aid," including I Furler Stretcher in each box, 2 Stretcher!:> at H ead-Quarters, 2 Ice Balls, 6 pairs Crutches, 6 Cages for loan purposes to necessitous persons, I case full of extra Stor~s fo[replenishin a the street boxes, diagrams, bandages, ·c.

181 Members. T here has been a decided lull in the operations of the Corps during this session, though doubtle:;s some good work has been done as a sequence to the endeavour and study of past years, rather than the result of erfort of the session just closed. The monthly lectures at Head-Quarters have been fairly well auended. L ectures were delivered as under: October 5th, 189+, "Infectious Diseases and their Prevention," lecturer-Dr. E. Brien November 2nd, "Tobacco," lecturer- Dr. II. R. Preece. D ecember 7th, "Notes on Travels in America and the West Indies 30 years' ago," lecturer-Surgeon-Major Hutton. February 1st, 1895, "Telepathy, or Thought T ransference," lecturer-Dr. C. T. Green. T he annual distribu tion of Prizes, Certificates and Medallions was made by Colonel Sir Baker and Lady Russell, at Birkenhead Town IIall, on 31st August, 1895, when sq uads from the follo,", j ng Di visions of the Corps took part in a demonstration of ambulance work :-Birkenhead, Great 'Western Railway, Price's Candle ' Vorks , Boys' Brigade, Fire Police, 1st V.n.C.R., Head-Quarters, 1st V.13.C. l{., I· II " Company, H.M.S. " I ndefatigable." Material in possession of the Corps :-5 Ashford litters, 30 stretchers , and the requisite splints and bandages.

This DiVision has maintained its smart and erficient condition, no pains being spared hy 11'. Derham to keep up interest in ambulance work amongst the members of the 130rough P olice Force under his command. The follo\l'ing is a copy of :\fr. Derham's report, which demonstrates most clearly how life may ce sa\'ed, e\'en in the mostsel i )u~ cases, by prompt and \\'ell applied ambulance knowledge : The ~talllLrd and strength of the Corps has been maintained. 'b'er)' mCl11ber of the 131ackpool Police Force no\\' holds the Certificate of the St. J uhn l\ml ,ulallce Association, the pusses~ion of a Certifi cate being practically one or the conditions of sen'ice. The nece~sity fur the possession uf ambulance knowledge h1.s been shell'n over and ol'er again during the summer ju~t past by the variety of accidents and cases of sickness IIhich the police have been called upon to deal \\'ith. The injuries dealt with comprise-:l cases of broken thigh, 6 ca~es of broken legs , 1 cas-= or rralllJled ribs, I case of rracture of lnse of skull, 2 cases of se\'ere concussio n of the hrain, I case uf compound fracture of thumh, 3 ca~es of fractured co]l:u bone, I case of ~e\"(~re burns, 17 cases of persons knocked down and run over (although sel'crel), IJluiscd, 110 bones broken), :l0 cases of epilepsy, fainting and apoplectic fits, 2 cases uf di:;]()cation of the shoulder, and the arrest of arterial and \'enOllS lleeJing beyond other 111 I nor cases. In all the pol ice have deal t IIi th 7'2 cases, in addition to I1UflH:rous services rendered \l'ith the ambulance carriages in cOl1\'eying p:aients to and from the raill\'ay stations, and to the hospital. One case mentioned ahoye , :\t 12.15 a.m. on Sunday, 2 'th July, I 95, however, dcsen'es special menLron. police-constalle llysl op was informed that an accident had happened on the rail\\'ay; he went,and found Edward D.l\\'50n lying in t.he six.-foot \\ ,1)" Uyslop examined him and fuund his right arm se\"t~rely \;u.:crateJ and crushed between the elbow and arm pi t, the bone protrud i n 0' through the sk in. The bracb ial artery lI'as se\'ered. The constable arrested the bleeding by pressure on the subclavian artery, until the clothing" lias cut all~ly, he then applied a tourniquet close to the shoulder-the man all this time lias (hunk and kicking, prel'entinO' the effons of the constahle, alJd had to be held dOlln all tbe time he lias being treated. The constable afterllards remol'ed him to the lwspital where he received the attention of Dr. 1:\1 0lloy, who wrote afterll'anls to the Chief ConstalJle as under:" I desire to drall your attention to the excellent sen'ice your men performed in connection \\ ith the I first aid' rendered to the man, Ed. Dawson, I\"ho lias run O\'eron the railway in the early hours of Sunday morning. "Besides other selcre injunes the man's arm \\a5 almost completely severed above the elboll joint, the brachial artelY being cut across at its upper part. One of your men (LJyslop) was on the spot almost :.t once, succeeded in securing the divided vessel by means of an improvised tourniquet, and so saved the man from bleeJing to death. The injured limb was afterwards cleverly secured by means of triangular band'lges ill such a position as to sa\"e it from further damage, and the patient from suffering. " 1 understand your men had an anxious and dangerous experience in getting the man rrom IIhere he was found to tbe ambulance. I \\'ish to express m)' ad(l1Iration and thanks for the skill and care they displayed . . . " 1 feel it is my duty to address you on the subject, as I consider the puoiIc IS under a great debt of gratitude to your r\ mbulance Corps. " I am, yours faithfully, "(Signed) L~uNARD r.[QLLOY." The knoldedge that the services rendered in this one case were the means of .saving a life (the man is now living), is sufficient reason for the. re.mark that every policeman should be a member of the St. Jobn l\ mbulance ASSOCIatIon. :\lany cases which but for II first aid" kno" ledge \\'ould have been attributed to drink, h;l\·e.on jnvestigatioll, rel'eale I the necessl ly of a hospital bed, rather than the ac ·oml11od.tLlo n

of a police cell. And, if for no other reason, the knowledge is necessuy to prevent the extension of injuries by unskilful handling. Material in possession of the Corps :-2 wheeled litters, 3 Furley stretchers, 100 triangular bandaaes, 2 sets splin ts, So elastic tourniquets, I am bubnce ham per, and I horse ambulance carriage.

YVe ask you to kindly peruse tbis, our Fourth Annual Report. The past year has been a memorable one with us in many respects. In September, the local cyclists made arrangements to hold a Fancy Costume Cycle Parade, and collections were taken en ?'ollte on behalf of the ursing Association and OLlr Ambulitnce Brigitde. As the result, a good sum of money was hitnded over to each of the Associations, and a yote of thanks WitS passed and sent to the Parade Committee for their efforts in rai sing a fund for the Ambulance Brigade. It was decided to erect street ambulance boxes in various parts of the town, con taining ambulanre appliances and things requisite in cases of accidents. IVe are greatly indebted to M essrs . Veevers & Sons for so willingly making itnd giving to us the first street ambulance box, 1yhi ch now occupies (by the kind permission of Colonel Robinson, the Castle) a. position at the junction of 1\1 oor Lane and Woune Lane. lYe are also indebted to :'lessrs. J. Whiteside & Sons for generously painting and lettering the aboye box, and tender to them our high appreciation and thanks. Other firms ha\'e promised to make two more boxes, and these will be erected at specified places when completed. A very good :\1ale Class was formed during the eitrly part of the year, and 1\ent through a course of "First Aid" Lectures. Th e attendance throughout was very encouraging, and the examination report excellent. All the students \lho attended the exami nation were fortunate in satisfying the examiner, and ei ther gain ed certi flcate, voucher, or medallion. The ladies were re-examined in Nursing, and all gained certi fica tes. We took part in the Annual Demonstration and Review of the 1\orth-East Lancashire Ambulance Brigades at Blackpool, on June 29th, but were not fortunate enough to gain a prize, tbough we had a keen competition for tbe third prize. The public recognise that we are of some service in rendering" first aid,' as shown by their desire in cases of accident to secure immediately the help of l\m bulance men. The members are willing and ready to attend any case" of accident, and to renri er " first aid." Three additional stretchers haye been purchased, making a total of six stretchers, a quantity of various sizes of new splints, and a large quantity of new ballditges. The Division is not sub-divided, and itppears to be progressing. i\1aterials in possessiun of the Di"ision consist of 2 stretchers, I street box, a quantity o[ splints, bandages, and havresacs .

The Di\' ision was formed in the early part of 1894 with a membership of 26; the members worked with great zeal and were rewarded by carrying off second prize at the Blackpool I e\ie\\ in 189+, Another class was begun in the Autumn of I '9+ and an examination conducted by Dr. Trimble was held in February, 1895, the result being highly gratifying. In the same month all the old members except one submitted themseh'es for re-examination by their lIon. urgeon, Dr. Sharples, Cniforms ha\'e becn purchased this year and the men present a vcry smart appearance wh en on parade, T\\'o \'l!ry seriolIs cases were promptly attended to, and a number of minor accidents OCCUlTing in the se\'eral mills were cared for. It is a matter for regret that the mill-owners and other influential gentlemen in the yillage and neighbourhood do not take more interest in ambulance work. Thanks are due to the Co-operative Society, \\'ho grant the use of their large meetingloom free of charge,

This being a Railway Diyision, it has been instrumental in renderino- aid to a number of our fellow servants, and also to some of the travelling public. everal case;; of compound fractures have been successfully treated, and also a large number of cases of seyere haemorrhage, caused by severe wounds .

The five stations established 4 years since continue to prove extremely lIseful, particularly the Dock stations, accide Its at this point being ,'ery frequent. The sen'ices of the men ha\'e been highly creditable and much commended. During the year 2 mcmbers of t.he Division have been a\\'arded the Royal Hum ane Society's Vellum Certificate for gallant rescue from drowning and success./ul restoration.

From the Secretary's report the following account is culled: In reviewing the work of the past year the Committee are pleased to find that it has been most sa ti factory as compa red with the preceding one. Many and varied have been the calls on the male and female portions of the Corps to render "first aiJ" assistance. Their efforts have been much appreciated by the public and highly commended by the medical profession. Over 100 cases of accidents have been treated inside the two years this Corps has been in existence. The following is a report of the Re\'iew held by this Corps in August, 18 95 :ROCHDALE AMBULANCE "VORK.-Review and Demon stration on the Ath letic Ground.-It is little more than two years si nce the Rochdale ambulance corps wa s formed, yet it has already done some good work, and as the result of its estahlishment similar organizations have been commenced in Heywood, R oy ton, Bacup, i-[iddleton and Tottington. 'Y ith the view to still further popularising the useful and self-denying work in whi ch they are engaged, the members of the local corps decided to hold a re\iew and demonstration, and invited the rest of the corps in the South-East Lancashire division to join them. This took place on the Athletic Club Grounds on Saturday, 2+th August, the different corps mentioned above, including 50 ladies and ahout 0 gentlemen, all being represented, except Middleton . Unfort unately, the attendance was not very large. The Town Hall Square wa s the meeting place. IIere a procession was formed, and headed by the police band, and commanded by the chief sllperintendent, Mr. C. Buck, it marched to the athletic ground. After the band came the ladies' companies. The horse ambulance came next, and thi s was sllcceeded hy four carriages. In the first were the Mayor and Mayoress, l\Iiss IJardman and Coun ci llor John Turner, J.P. The second contained Drs. 'Yilkin son (Oldham) and Cal row (Bury), 1\1rs. R. Holt (president of the Pi oneers' Society), and i-lr. W. E. ;'IIill s (president of the Provident Society). In the third were Alderman J. R. Heape, J.P., Dr. Sellars, and 1\1r. C. Buck (Chief Con stable). On arri\ing on the grounu there wa s a march past. Various bandages were then applied, and aftel this the different corps showed how they would act in the case of a raih\ay accident. The presentation of five new ambulance wheeled litters to the Rochdale corps then t ook place ; these were presented by the fayor ( ou ncillor 'V. H ardman ). Alderman J. R. Heape, J .P., Tu rner Bros., the Pioneers' Society and the Pro\'iuent Society. After speeches by Dr. Sellars and Alderman Heape, the squad competitions took place, the judges being Dr. ' Vilkinson and Dr. Calrow. Squads of four men with one ?fficer representing each corps rendered" first aid," according to the direction of the Judges. There was a similar competition for the ladies. I n the former case the prize was a Furley stretcher, valued at £2 2s. ; and in the latter a box of am bulance appliances, valued at £1 lOS. Material in possession of Corps: Five Ashford wheeled litters and q appliance boxes.

The other stores are juuiciously di stributed about the town. These include large tin bottles of caron oil. Durin g the year 26 meetings have been held, and the attendance has been good, but there is still room for improvement. In addition to many cases not reported, 26 of a more or less serious nature are recorded, in which the members have been able to render" first aiu." The litter has been used nine times. All the members (with the exception of three) have adopted the Brigade Cniform. The Division has attended two public demonstrations in the town, anu on one of these occasions the Brigade Chief Superintendent was present.

O",ing to my recent appointment as Deputy-Commissioner of the abo\'e District, my rcportlllust nccessarily be brief. I b;l\'e endeavoured to obtain correct returns from the different Corps anu Di\isions in my District, and am glad to be able to report an increase on those of last year, anu a still increasing amount of interest in the work. I have not as yet had time to inspect the different Corps, [Jut hope to do so durin~ the year. I ha\'e luu application:; for information with regard !o the formation of fresh Corps, and h;n'e 110 doubt the comin~ year will see m:ll1y more attached. The first steps towards the formation of Corps haye already reen taken at Haslilnd and East\\00d, \\·ith centres of lar;;e populations, :\Jr. linn being secretary to the former and i\Jr. ·W ylde to the latter. I~ncouragement should l:e gi\'en for all Corps to ha\'e a st,lfr of certificated nurses attacheu to them, for it seems to me most impor tant that aftcr I, first aid" has been rendered in the \\'orkshop, mine or field by the lllcmrer:; of the Brigade, they should ha\'e efficient nurses to follow the doctor's instructions in the !Oick room. l\n excellent review, lJy permi~sion of His Grace tbe Duke of Pon land, was held at \\'dbcck in _\ugust.

l\Ir. L. Pal kes '\1.D . '\Ir. A. J. Hill. This Corps now contains 25 Divisions with an aggreO'ate membership of 825 officers and men. During the last 12 months upwards of 900 cases h3.\·e been recorueu in which "first aid" has been rendered. Iany of these were, of course, comparatively slight injuries, but unfortunately some of them were se\'ere. They include assistance rendered to passengers and to the general publ ic, also acciuents which ha \'e occurred in the members' own homes, as well as those which h:tve happened to servants of the Company while on duty. In many of the cases special praise has been bestowed upon the members of the Corps by the doctors who have subsequently treated the patients. Considerable interest is shown in the work of the Corps by all grades of employees of the G.E.R. Company, and many who are unable to join the Corps as acti\'e members render assistance by their kind support and sympathywith its objects. Taken as a "hole the work done has been most valuable anu satisfactory, but in t\\O or three Divisions more acti\'ityand O'reater zeal miO'ht be sho\\'n. The annual competition for the ChallenO'e Cup presented by the Directors was held in the spring, 20 teams entering. Sectional competitions were held at J'\ orwich, Cambridge, Colchester, anu 'tratford ,,·ith the resu lt that teams from the Cambridge, Xorwich, Parkeslon, Fenchurch treet, and Stratford Divisions qualified for the final. The final Competition was held at Stratford Town Hall on .\lay 18th, 1895, in the presence of Loru Knutsford , Lortl Claud J. Hamilton, Admiral of the Fleet Sir John Commerell, V.C., Captain Sir i\Ifreu Jephson, R.~., \V. Birt, Esq., J. Holden, Esq., Archdeacon Ste\'ens, and a large concourse of ladies and gentlemen. Through the generosity of the Directors and officers of the Company, prizes and certificates were awarded to each team competing in the final competition, and the order in \\'hich the JudO'es awarded them was as follo\\'s : Xor\\'ich Thorpe 1st Prize and Challenge Cup. Stratford 2nd Prize. Parkeston 4th Prize. Fenchurch Street 3rd" Cambridge 5th " The special thanks of the Corps are due to the judges, BriO'ade Chief Superintendent Church Brasier, Dr. Heaton Howard, and Dr. .\Iilnes IIey for the painstaking, kind and imparti;tl m;tnner in which they fulfilled their duty. During the past year 4 new stretchers and 4 am bulance cupboards h;t ve been provided. In concluding the report, the valuable work done by the lIonorary Surgeons, Honorary S ~cretaries, and other officers of the Corps should be acknowleged, an~d it is to be hoped that during the coming yea I progress will be made in;tll the Di\'isions.

There ha\'e been ambulance men at this station for some years, but it is only recently that they have taken up the work as a Di\i sion of the Corps. The large amount of traffic of all uescriplions renders it most desirahle that there should be ambulan::e men distrihuted through the staff, and it is hoped that the present members will not only keep themsekes efficient, but will win new recruits to the Di\·ision. Se\'eral cases have been reporteu, in which" first aid" has been satisfactorily rendered.

Cape Col.ony (Cape Town) Corps, are sorry to state that very lillIe work has been done dUrIng the past year by the Division, owing to the disinclination of the doctors to make use of the members. .At a com~l.1lttee meeting .h~l~ in l'\o\ember, it. was decided to acquaint the clergy WIth the e~lst.ence ~f the DIVISIOn, and to authOrIse them to apply (or nursing help for any case wlth1l1 their kno,dedge (with the sanction of the doctor allending the case). The cler~y of Rondebos~h a.nd Claremont have announced their willingness to make use of thiS. Several ladles 111 Claremont are attending lectures in order to qualify th~~~elves. to become I?embers, and it is hoped that very shortly a branch of the DlVlslon wIll be started 111 that parish.

It is satisfactory to know that considerably more interest has been taken in the instruction, c·C., of the Corps, and the average attendance this year has been much higher than in the former year. 1\Ir. A. Mathews resiO'ned his position as ecretary during the yea", and !\Ir. G. M. Campbell \\ as elected to the office, 1\Ir. R. Farrant being appointed to the position of third officer. A series of practices in the rescuing of the dro\\ning, and the inducing of artificial respiration has been commenced, and is found to be of great benefit to members. I t is proposee.! to shortly hold a field practice in the vicinity of Dunedin, so that the members of the Corps may obtain a more varied experience in improvising, carrying, &c. The Occurrence Book shows that a goodly number of cases of "first aid" ha\'e been attendee.! to by members Juring the year. i\ copy of the Provisional Drill Book of the t. John Ambulance Brigade has just been received from IIead Quarters, and next session the officers will be in a position to gi\'e more attenti·.)n to the stretcher and other drill of the members.
