16 The Almoner reports that :Jlr. Pitt Draf'ten and :JIrs. 'Vyndhmn .Jlurray have again pre entod Ho pital a,nd other letter, which ha"'\e proved very useful. The Di 'trict ~ur e, provided for '1t. John's Parish by the departn1ent, ha been of great a 'istance to Confrere the Rev. T. ",V. ,Vood, alllong the very poor and neecly population of his parish, but as the lady first appointed, .JIi s ",Vest, found the work rather beyond her strength, she resigned her po t after holding it for nearly a year, an(l has boen ucceeded hy IT urse Lilian M. Green, ,yho po se se equally ati factory testimonial', and whose labour in the pari h have already prov d a great uccess. By the kindness of Confrere Lord ...:\.lllherst of Hackney, the Chapter has acquired by purcha e the vacant pieco of land adjoining the stables. This will bo of considerable utility when the Order possesses funds to complete the new buildings \' hich are urgently required, owing to the exten 'ion of its departmental work. The special vellum vote of thanks, institutecl as an arknm\-ledgment of conspicuous sorvices rendered to the SL. John. Ambulance Association, by local executive ofiicers awl others, has been awarded to 1\11'. Henry C. Barstow, of the Bri tol Centre, and to Dr. N orm.an Aldridge, of the Southampton Centre. Full reports are annexed fr0111 the COlllmittees of the British Ophthalmic Hospital (J erusalelll), anel the St. John Ambulance Association. Upon the following accounts tho Rocoi ver-Genertll wishes to make one or two observations. The accounts show that thoro is a general ilnprovement in every respect, anel he is able to repeat what he said upon the issue of the last report, that thero is no branch or department of the Order in which substantial progross has not been made, and that the position of tho Oreler is one giving great encouragement to the melll bel'S. There are two charitable objects of the Order, howover, which need special support.

The British Ophthalmic Hospital at Jerlls[\,lem shows [\, clrticit of £476 17s. Bd., rm<l though this is a less deficit thn,n last yo[\,r the improvement is (lne to saving of expense, amI not to [\,n improved subscription list. The Almoner's Depn,rtment shows <1, deficit of £107. On the other hanel, the increase of activity in this clepartment is a very heLtlthy .'ign. 'Vith ro o'n,rcl to tho Hospi tal at .J erl1salem tho Hecoiver-Gollernl clearly sees that j twill Le a long timo Lefore his aiul i~ accOlllplishcd, namely, to make it self-supporting.

10 THE preparation of a statement for the Report on the Hospital for 1896-97, affords an opportunity of presenting a short review of its progress, and of the work it has accomplished during the last ten years, the period during which it has been under its present management in Jerusalem. "\Vith regard to the demands upon the Hospital, these haye for many years been beyond its power to satisfy' 0 that the work actually accomplished in no way shews the claims upon its resources. The patients are derived from all parts of Palestine ; the great majority of those admitted COUle fronl a distance. Under present crrculnstances only tho e needing operation can be adlnitted; the greater part of these eek relief fronl the sequences of the di a trous ophthalmia of the country. There remain the thousands of cases, yearly, of acute infectious ophthalmia and its dan o-erous complication, and a vast amount of chronic disease resuJting from iL, often capable of being greatly benefited by Ho pital treatment: lllany of the former urgently needing it, although they nOl\' can only be dealt with in the out-patient department. It seems prett.y certain that if the Ho pital were four or fiye times its present size, and with its staff correspondingly incr a ed, it would, on account of the great amount of eye disea e throuo'hout tbe country, be more than fully supplied with petti nts. A few figures from the Hospital register, which js accuraLely kept, will show what has been done during the peri()d mentioned. The Hospital had at first accolnmodation for 14 in-paLient ·, but by successive additions they last year reached to 20. The number of in-patients admitted during Lhe first year f the period was 237; during the last, .570; the total number for the whole period has been 3,797. The operations numbered 327 anJ 1,252 respectively in the same years, and the total 8,057. A very large proportion of the e are long and painful ones done under general anmsthesia froUl chloroform, which has been given (numbers k pt during only last eight years) to 3,939 in and out-patients. The number of out-patients entered in the books were 2,833, and 4,442 in the same respective years; the highest total number of attendances in any year has been 13,6 25. The number of outpatients that can be attended to is very greatly curtailed for lack of working power.

The expenditure in J erusa1em includes the following: maintenance and clothing of in-patients, bedding, washing, etc., maintenance and wages of servants, and salary of dispenser; general household expenses; furnishing (in great part) : repairs and additions to premises. The total expenditure during the period ha been £3,421 7s. 4d., a yearly average of £342. An amount of no less than £736 lIs. 6d. included in this, haR been expended on the premises, partly in repairs, but to the extent of about £500 in additions, increased accommodation, and pel'lnanent improv81nents, the money having been saved out of our u ual monthly allowance, 30 that the ordinary Inaintenance charge are Ie than the above-men tioned amount. The expenditure for 1 U7 was £307 Os. 4d. In n.dlition to thi , a further sum of £500 from private o'ift for special purpose has been laid out on addition to the premi e. These include the :0Tew Out-Patient ,Ying erected from the Tonlon jIemorial Fund, which was contributed by ~Ii ~ J [lue ,ViI on (chi f part), ir Ec1mluld Lechnlere, and Mr. J. jI. Oook: n. laro'e ci tern given by Lord Amher t of Hackney, and Mr..J. ~I. ook: n, new kitchen, and other minor thino' . The condition of the premi es is therefore greatly impro"\ed, and affonls on the whole sn.ti factory accommodation and arrangements for the work a at present carried on. It should be Inentioned that the expenditure under " clothing," with which all the in-patient are prOl-ided, ha amounted durin o' the la t eio-ht y ar to only £22; thi i in great mea ure due to the "\aluable pre ants recei"\ed fr01n England; Lady Lechmere pecially, n.nd many other In lie . have made laro'e gifts of l' ady-mac.le clothing to the Ho pital. The further development of the institution points no" T in the clirection of increa eel workino' power. At pre ent the whole of the profe ional work, inclndino' a o'ood deal of routine detail capn.ble of a more economical arrangement, pn.s e through one pail' of hands. In cour e of time, perhap , the Order will ce its way to develop their work in Pale tine. The gift of a brge full-Ienoth framed engra"\ing of her elf, 1110 t graciou ly presented to the Hospital by her Maj ty the Queen, was receive 1 here la t Chri twa. JERUSALE~1) 13th Januflry, 1 9 .

'un.ltie reported to the Board of Tracle for the nine month ending Septemuer :-30th, 1807, dOlllOl1:strat clearly the value of n.mbulance knowledge to rn.ih-ny men : Altorrether during the period stated, :1GO persons were killed .and 4-,45 ,~el'e injured 'in railway accidents: as compared. with !~W lnlled and 4,183 injured in the nine months of 189G, sl:owmg an mcrea. e of 134- killed and 275 inj ured. The rail w.ay compames. ha:e also reported under the Act of 1871 accidents on theIr premIses ~Tlngll1g the numbers of killed up to 9:33 and the injured to 13,074.

In the colliery and luining districts work i. caniecl on steadily and progressively , and illl portan t remark', te:tifying to it. 11. '0fulness, have lately ueen llli1de by ~Il'. J oscph T. Rol )son, Her Majesty's Inspector of ::\Iine for South \\r ale, in his annual report for 1896, who ,'tatcs : -

A:\IBULANCE 'VoRK.-There are still, I am sorry to say, many "collieries at; which few men are qualified to render first aid to the " injured j indeed, at some fairly large collie~'ies,. the~e is not a single lTI,lll " so qualified by having pa sed an exammatIOn III a~bulance ,,"or!\:. " ~Iuch credit is, however, due to those who have been lllstrumental 111 " forming classes for this desirable obj.ect. In this connection I may " mention the case of Cwmaman CollIery, Aberclare, where probably " more workmen in proportion to the total number employed are (1 ual~fied " than at a.ny other in the district. Here the names of those qnalIfied " are posted up at each lamp s~ati~n, and.a complet~ ~et of ambulance " a.ppliances is kept at the statIOn m readmess. ThIS IS well worthy of " imitation in other collieries."

Again, nil'. G. F. Adams, one of Her Majesty's Inspectol's of nIines, speaking n.t the annual dinner of the Aucn1n.re .i\IininO' and Police Ambu1n.nce Cln.ss, spoke the follo"wing \\'onls, ",hiuh cannot be too deeply ilnpres ed in the minds of all those \dlO either own or have interests in collieries 01' lllinc. ' :" " " " " " " " "

" In a minin rr district knowledge such as was obtained by attending these classes ~as inyaluable. Although science had done much to reuuce the number of accidents in mines, accidents did happen, anu would continue to happen, and. it was of the greatest importance that the best methods of cleaiing with such accidents should be devised and made known, and for the past five years that class had been quie~ly al~d unostentatiously tackling that question. In the case of an aCCIdent m the mine most of them knew of that tenible journey from the face to the pit bottom, and what it was to have men in the actual work~ng places who knew the right thing to do. Indeed, many a human lIfe,

11 (C

which lllight otherwise be saved, had been sacrificed through ignorance, such if!l1orance as that cla!3s and similar classes was intenc1ed to dispel. (Hear:hear.) The Home 'ecretary had for some time. past recognised the importance of these ambulance classes, and the lDspectOl's made inquiries at every colliery they visited as to what was being done and how many men actually llgaged underground were in a position to 1'el1(lor first aill to the injured, and while he (lid not wish to make comparisons, he coul(l v nture to ay that the collieries in the Aberdare Valley came ont a. well a those in any district. (Ileal', hear.) There was one colliery where the name of every man working in the di trict who knew ambulance work was posted up in the lamp station. He had always had very gr at; admiration fOI ambulance work, and it gave him much pleasure to propos' the toast."

The Ol'~'illlisIllg 1Ull1111 i.·si()llel', ~ 'llrgeon-::\Injur G. A.

A fir occLUretl at ~ome 011 stores at \Y alkercrat;e about two miles from ~ '\yca "tIe. The stores were close /:) , to the X O1'th Ea::;t;ern Hailway. A large number of people h~d. collected to sec the fire, when an explosion of an oil tank, contallllng orne thousanL1s of aallons of creosote oiL took place, scattering destruction on all side. It is stated that upwards of one hundred were injured. In a report which I havo received it is state~l 'that the .N' orth Ea tern " Hail way Company some time ago prOVIded a con:'el1lent hall, ~ few " yard- from the scene of the accident at Heaton , and here the rmlway "men have heEln in tructcd in 'first aid.' A a result; when the " terrible explo ion OCCUlT d, ,lOtI the injured were falling alll'ouncl about, " the ambulance mon knew what was to be done, and, what was better, " procee(letl to do it promptly and without flurry. T~lere is n~ ~loubt " that tItis prompt action did much to Ie sen th sufTenng of th ll~Jure? "It was 011 of the most not;pworthy examples that has oCCUlJ'elllll tl11s "neiO'hbol1l'hood of tbe advantage of ambulance instruction." The able ~tationmaster at the Newcastle entral tation, JIl'. llolliday, who made the arrangements for cony ying the most s~verely in,iured to the Newcastle Infirmary, reports to me' that the ufferer l'ecelvell prompt rc aiel and attention j YOll will understand when I tell y.ou tl~at tl:e " explosion took place a.t 1.5") p.m .. 21 of tho injured recClved first md " and were placed. in tbr e guards' vans which had to be rrot toO' ·ther " fol' the purpose of conveying them to N wcastle, and we hall thom h~re (, by 5.:~5 p.m. I Imel been advised by telephone, and I had ever 'tlung T

" in readiness for their reception, and w~ had them conveyed to tl~e " infirmary on our stretchers in a few mInutes. I never saw a, mOle " distressing sight than that of the sufferers when we took theI.n out of " the vans. ~lany of them were almo t naked and the clothmg they " had upon them hung in shreds.. One young wom~n had been knocked " over by some rail way waggons 111 her attempt to escape the effect of " the expl03ion, the wheels of the waggons had passed over one of her "I' d one arm She was attended by one of the ambulance lllen ;t~ :~plied a tO~lrniquet, and there can be little doubt but that ~ler « life was saved by first aid. Her leg was amputated. after her arr:val (( at the infirmary. Two of my rail way porters s~lstaIned most ,', el'l?us (( injuries." One of the surgeons at Heaton, Dr. Yeoa~dey) says ,Bem.g " the first medical man on the scene of the 'Valker disaster, I tll1?k It " my duty to congratulate most highl.y the orth ~,astern H:ul~a.y (' Ambulance which rendered great serVice to .the unfol tunate. sufferels " before any professional aid arrived. ,V ere l~ not for t~le. 111gh state " of efficiency displayed by these men, the suffermgs of the mJured would " have been much greater." Dr. ,Villiamson, one of the infirmary staff, reports, "I was SU~11r:lOned " by telepbone to the i~fi~'mary, and when I en.tered thA bUl::lll1g ~t " G o'clock some of the InJured had already arflved, ~nd othel s wele " rapidly c~ming in. 'l'h~ injurie~ received were almost In every c~se the "same varyinO' however m seveIIty. The fire had caught the exposed " skin ~f the l~ead and neck, face, ears and hands. These parLs. were " perfectly black, and the features um~ecognisable. The scene ll~ the " ward was like that in a military hospital a,ftel' a battle. The patients " showed a manliness and courage beyond all praise." r I visited the injured in tlle infirmary a few days a,ftcrwards. Two had died leavinO' twenty-two. \Vith one exceptiol1, the s~lffercrs' faces, wrapped'as the/'were in cotton wool masks were ~~recogl1lsa.blc. ,I went round the ward wi~h the resident surgeon, and VISIted the gIrl wlth the amputated leg, who was in another ward. Up to the present, eleven deaths have occurred. The General Secretary of the Rorth-Eastern Hailway Centre sa.ys, " Our work is progressing favollra~l.r. 01: Decem?er 31st, we l:a,~l 33 " classes under tuition, and are agam arranglllg a . enes of competItIOns, " and the directors are awardinO' £50 in prizes. Our men have been " complimented all o,'er the sy~tem by the medical. profes~ion for the " manner in which they have rendered '( first ald." are fully " equipped with appl~ances, and. our directors a,nd ge~erall11aI~,ager seem " ever ready and anxIOUS to asslst as f~r as they pOSSIbly can. :r Other railway companies are fol1owmg the. example set by the -: orth East.ern Railway Company, and are encouragmg ambulance work l~l the same direetion. The general report of the J!oarcl of T:-ade on ral~wa,y accidents }Joints to progressive improvement l~ the workmg of the ~ll1es, but the cases of injury to servan~s of compames are now nnme~lcally auO'mented by the recent rule which prescribes that non-fatal accldents to the employed shall be reported to the Board of ~~rade whenever they are such as to prevent the servant injured from beLng employed for five

hours on his ordinary work on anyone of the three ordinary working days next after the occurrence of the accident. Turning to the mining industry the same interest has been shown in ambulance work as in previous years, and a large number of men have been instrncted and received the certificate. I attended the annual inspection of the Babbington Oollieries Centre, established by • 'ir Cha,rles 'cely, Bart., in July, at Basford Park. General. 'ir E. T ewdigate X ewaigate, K. 1.B., was the inspecting officer, and in the course of his remarks at the close of the inspection said, "he could not " tell Sir 'harles 'eely how much they were illdebted to him for the " excellent exa,mple he had. et them in organising and maintaining that " ambulance corp. ,Yith regard to the men he must congratulate them "upon having voluntarily devoted their time, labour and trouble in " such an excellent, high and noble cause as that of the ambulance " service, uncI all h had to sa,yof the work on parade was in praise of " the perfect teadiness and the quietness of the way in which every " thing was don ." Other two most succes ful gatherings I a,ttended in August. One of the 'JO men at Hi ley H all, neal' Derby, under the able command of .Mr. 'tuart C. \\~ ardell, who has ever been to the fore in such demonstrations; the other took place at Skelton Castle, organised by another hard worker in the a,mbulance cause, 1\11'. ,Vaynman Dixon. There were 517 men on paraLle, and n arly 100 women all holding t. John Ambulance certificate, and belonging to the Miclcllesbro' and Cleyelalld Centre. The in!'>pecting oUiceI' was Colonel 'ir E. Talbot Thackeray, E..C.B., IT.<C., Commi'ioner of the -' t. John Ambulance Brigade. In January last the annual c.:ompetition for the silk banner for the collieries belonging to Bell Brother, in the COllnty of Durham) was held in the Town Hall, Dmha,m. I actecl a. judge. There were 3G men, compo ing 3 teams, amI from differellt collierie , and after a keen competition conducted entirely on practical lines-the winning team scored 4.30 out of 500 marks-tho secollll had J15, and the third JI0. Another competition in which I acted a. judge took place at Gloucester, in December, when five teams belol1O'ing to police, railway, and other il1llustrie:s competed. In 'eptember I attended, a,s delegate for the t. John .Ambulance Association, the Congress of the anitary Institute held at Leed . The Ambulance Station at the Eoyal Agricultural Show, held at Manchester, was open from June 19th to 28th, when the following cases were treated, several of which were of a serious nature :_

The station was visited bv the President fo~: the year, B.IL.H. the Duke of York, who was pleased to express his approval of all the arrangements. . DUl"ing the year opportunities have occasional~y been affor~e(~ me III s.eaport towns of directing attention to the necessIty. of ?rst aId I~stru~t~on in the Mercantile 1\larine. Oommander L. G. Tlppmge, R.::\., wrItmg to the Ti1716S of Auaust 21st, 1897, says: "By the provisions of the I; Merchant Shippi~g Act of 1 94, only those vessels which carry at " least one hundred souls are required to provide a metlical officer; consequently many a sea-going m~n loses his life or b.ecom~s a "permanent cripple because no one IS at hand to render surgIcal ald at "the time of accident. The Board of Trade will endorse any officer's " ticket with the fact that he holds the certificate of the t. John " Ambulance Association. It is earnestly to be hoped that the great "shipowners will encourage ambulance work by giving preference to " those whose certificates are endorsed." It is gratifying to be able to report the increased usefulnes of horse ambulances all over the Oountry. hecently I addressed the members of the York Medical Society on this subj8ct, as a horse ambulance designed by Mr. ,John Furley had, through the good offices of lr. ,Yo J alland, D.L., and Mr. J. H. Turner, honorary secretary of the York Oentre, been presented to the city in November. In my address, I gave an account of what horse ambulances in five different places had uone. In Birkenhead, a large town, it had been out in one year 373 time. A smaller town, J orthampton, 53 times. At Halifax 180 time, fully onethird accident case!'>, the remainder for the removal of sick and invalid people. The 'Vellingboro' Horse Ambulance had been out I l' times, and in the Isle of ,Vight it had been out on the average once a month since it was started in 1893, moving patients from Sandown to RydeDowes to Ryde-Brauing to Newport, &c., &c. The police force all over the Oountry continue to manifest the same interest in ambulance work as ever they have done sillce its commencement. The Lancashire Oounty Oonstabulary, the strength of which on 31st December, 1897, was 1,569, had 1,213 of the Force holding the St. John Ambulance certificate. The cases of first aid reported to me during the year are too numerous to mention-it is sufficient to state they embrace almost every injury in all the various industries throughout the country.

No doubt some of the teams possessed an advantage over others, inasmuch as they had taken part in other competitrions of a similar character, but there can be no question, that all the men who presented themselves as competitors, would prove invaluable assistants, to a medical man, in the case of a railway accident or some such similar calamity. The final stage of the competition resulted in a victory for the Great Eastern Railway team, and, without any disparagement to the other competing companies, it may be said that the work of the members composing this team was, on the whole, of an exceedingly high standard.

method of treating the apparently suffocated was very good; the clothing was in all cases loosened before resorting to artificial respiration, which was subsequently carried out in a skilful and satisfactory manner. The competition resulted in the St. John's Gate Division being placed first, the East Ham team coming second, Wellingborough third and fourth, and Babbington fifth.

lIT-BRIGADE. (Extract from the Judges' Report on the St. John Ambulance Brig(LLZe Competition for the "Deu;a1'" Shield). The teams competing were :St. John's Gate, No.1 Division; East Ham Division; Wellingborough, No.1 Division; Wellingborough, No.2 Division; Babbington Corps. The work, generally, was of a very high character, and the treatment of the various injuries was carried out in a way that showed the mem bers of the several teams had been thoroughly and carefully trained in the principles of first aid. The handling of the patients, when dealing with their supposed injuries, and when placillg them upon tbe stretchers was careful, and proved that the bearers thoroughly realised how necess~ry it was that they should work together. In the ViV£l voce portion of the competition the answers to the various questions were ~1fomptly and intelligently given. The" Firemen's lift" and the

Mr. A. Whitehouse Strickland, 21, High Street, Bognor. ANNUAL REPORT. THERE having been no classes heltl since the last report was issued, the talmlated statement remains the sarLe. A class for men has jnst commenced, and a Hrst aid class for" omen will be held in the early Spring of 1 98. So much Tecllllical Instruc· tion has been going on that it has been extremely difficult to get in all evelling for ambulance classes which was not already taken up with something else. The Ambulance Van for one horse to draw has been purchased aml is honsed by thc Urban Dlstnct Conn01l and IS aVaIlable for the conveyance of the pOOl' of the District free, but others will be expected to pay for its use. A tariff will soon be published and circulated to the medical men, nurses, &c., o[ the T own, with full instructions as to obtaining it, so that there may be no delay when reqllireu.

ANNUAL REPORT. 'THIS Centre was re-organised at a meeting held in the Town Hall last N ovemuer. at which over thirty prominent citizens were pre ·cnt. The chair was occupied lly the 1I1ayor of Chester, in the absence of the Duke of ,Ve tminster. The Bishop of Chester, the Dean of Chester, and several other gentlemen spoke in favour of the movement, and es-pecially of the useful work iu cases of emergenry which had been done by the t. John Ambulance Association. The Bishop made mention of the excellent work <lone in the cause by the late Colonel Duncan' he said that he wa one of the most zealous pioneers of the movement, and that it was a rleasing thing to bring the fading memory of those who ha<l <lone good service into fresher r ecollection. A Sub-Committee was formed for considering the hest means of promoting tlle teaching of ambulance work in Chester and its area. Since the re-organization of the Centre several classes have been taught through, <Jut the city with a consi<lera.ble amount o[ succe,'s, amI also a division o[ the t. John Ambulance Brigade was formed, on the roll of which there are 61 members. 'The division was inspected by Dr. Trimble, Deputy Commi 'ioner, on the 25th September, who spoke vf'ry favourably of the effICiency of those who appeared before him. On the same evening a keen competition t00k place [or the Yerburgh medal, value two guineas, which is given to the candidate who shows the greatest amount of knowledge of ambulance work. The medal was won by Benjamin Hughes, who nas studied the subject and practised it [or several years.

The corps ha during the year attended 3~ case of rcmovals and accident, many of which have been attested to by a eloctor as valuable, and in one instance a probable bleeding t.o death was l)l'eventeu. It is gratifying to know that the stretchers that have been placed about the town th:'ongh the in. trumentality of the corps, have been found of use on many occa ion', and that the permanent 110me of the wheeled stretcher on the premises of the Cottage Hospital has heen completed a.nd the co t of its erection wholly met by the sums obtaiued by the entertainment in the lecture hall, and donations given to the ecretal'Y sub equently. everal members of the -corps attended the anuual inspectio n at Westga.te, under Deputy-Commissioner Hey, and one squad, under t h e command of uperintpndent Clinch, did dut\T in KinO' \V'11' J' b 1 lam Street, London, on the occasion of Her Maje ty's Diamond Jubilee Commemoration.

AN VAL REPORT. TilE gracious consent of Her Royal Highness il,e Princel:.s Christian, to l lIDe President of the Great "W estern Railway Ccntre, is much appreciatcd hy the ,m· pany's Staff, and has heen a great incentive to largc numbers to (lUalify for the Certificates, which have heen siglled by Her Royal Highness. Since the formation of the Centre ill 1896, 63 new classes of thc G. W. H. Com· pany's servants have been held, in addition to which a large uumber, who already held certificates, llave presented themselvcs for re-examination, and, as this is con· siderec1most in1Portant, it is the great desire of the Chairman alHl Directors that each member shall present himself for t h e full course of examination, and cOlltinue to practi. e and take part ill the competitions fol' prizes given hy the Company, thus keeping up the lmowledge gained. A team, composerl of members of t h e OOl1ll1allY's StafT' at Plymouth, won the third prize ill the Diamond Jubilee Competition, held at the Crystal Palace.

During the year two successful sections have bcen added to thc Oentre, viz., Shaw 'Oross, where Dr. Beattie has lectured to one fcmale class and one male class, and Batley Oarr, which will commence thi month with a male class to whom Dr. Hall has kindly promised to give the necessary lectures. It is gratifying to report that the Batley Oarr Committee has already made good headway for provirlillg an .ambulance litter on wheels. Your Oommittee again wishes to place on record it immense appreciation of the medical profession throughout thc district for their loyal and continued support, and also to the executive officers, c. pecially to the local Hon. ecs. of Section. The hol', e ambulance provided a year ago hns been found very useful in the Dewsbury district, and your Committee feel that the effort made by the Dew, bury ection is worthy of imitation by the 'cctions within the area covered by this Association.

I N' presenting tbe seveuteenth annual report the Oomllliltee has rellewerl l'l(,asnrein stating tbat the work of this Ceutre exhihits no retrograde, t.igw; ill the great interest wlooh has been manifested ill the objects of tlle Association. AltllOllgh tIle COUll!.' classes have fallen off in point of numJJer'i, the town classes have materiall.( increased; it should he explained that the falling 011' in tlH' ('ounty does not ari: from lack of interest, hut rrollt the fact that tIle Oounty Oouucil has stopped th, grant malle in previous years ror am bula,llce WOl·k. During the past session 19 classes have l)eell llel(l, 15 in the to\\,11 awl foUl' in the couuty, at which 357 pupils (245 men ami 112 women) have been instructed in first aid and in nursing. 315 presented t lwlliselves fol' exalliinatioll, a n d 2 0 passed, A very success fu l men's llursing class in conncctiOIl with thc , Vorkillg 1I1en" College was instructr'1 hy D r.

The rc·exalllillatiolls have been fairly well attemlecl j 95 men presented themselves, and all passe(1; 17 women wcre l'e·e)"umillP(I, Lj of WllOl1l1'llsseu . The Committee has pleasure in all1lOuucing the succe.. s that atb'lldeLl their eITorts on the occa'ion of the'atunlay collection. The cllle..:tioll of raising the necessary funds to earry on thc \\'ork has to Ul' face(l each ye<Lr. The Oommittee thought it would not be wi,'e, being Jubilee ycal', to organise an out·door delllonstratioIl, insteacl of which it \\'as 'uggestc(l that, as an I'xl'erirnellf, tL street colledion should be malle. Favonrl'll with splel1llill \\eathcr. and n'afly hel p givell by the members, it turned out a gratifying sucef'!; '.

REPORT.

lK presenting the 14th annual report, the COlllmittee is pleased to record thatl large amount of good work has been accomplished during the l)ast year. It will ile seen thai 122 students have passed through the classes during the year, and they, with hundreds of others in our town, are qualified to render first aid in cases .of accid ent or sudden illness. The instruction of so many students necessarily entaili a great amount of work to the Medical Stalf and the Committee, and pupils appre· ciate most sincerely the valuable services of these gentlemen. There have been two classes held solely for the instruction of seamen, at thl Seamen's Institute and Marine School respectively, and it is expected that othe~ will shortly be commenced. It is satisfactory to know that every member of the Police fQrce now holds th! Certificate of the Association, and from the Chief Oonstablc's report we learn thlt 59 nases were treated by the police during the year.

214 of the association byanuual donations. It i hardly necessary to demon tratc theincalculable value of the instruction \\'hich has been afforded by thc association's clas e under a qualified lecturer. There are daily occurring innumerahle accidents which do not attract the public attention. It is uuneces ary to point out how trnly deserving of recognition mu t be any effort made to relien, eyen in the mallest degrec, so much hmnall anguish ann uffering, re tomtioll of life Ilnd alle,iation of pain. In addition to thi. there i the aid rcndered hy the a::;ociatil)u \yhich has come hefore the puLlic notice, a , for instance, on . e,-eral occa.'ious this association has through the prompt ,"olunta,ry senice of its members and the appliances at its eomnHLllcl, heen able to render \'aluahle aid to sufferers by accident. Amongst the most notable may be mentioned the dynamite disa. tel' which occuned on the 19th Feburary, 1 96, at Vrededorp . the dynamite eX}llo iOIl at the George Goch Amalgamated Gold Mining Company on el'tembel' th lao t, amI at . eyeral race meetings at whiuh minor accident occurrcd. Al 0 during the Queen'· record reign celebrations in June last, and at the Witwater.rand Agricultural.'ho\\. Taking the above fact into consideration, and after carefully going into thc matter, 1re would h'ongly recommend that you will devi e some mcans wllel'cby thc Hllancial state of the association can be considerably augmented, and wc \\'ould strongly uggest :-(A). An appeal to the hOllolUahle the Executivc Council; (n l . To the -lifferent mining companies of the 'Yib"atersra.nd district; (c). To thc Icar1itlgfirlll~ of Johanncsburg and district; (n). The generall'ublic, Thi. appe,ll to hc made in \yhiche,er form you con icIer achi able. ince your last meeting the \\'ork of the As ociatioll of thi - centre has becll greatly extended, Your lecturer has visited mo tly all the mines along the lille of reef and has bcen succcssful in forming numerous das e., and hc i. at pre, ell t l1Hl,kilJg armllge, ments for holding much more extended cour e of instruction throughout all the mines of the -Witwatersrand district. With this ohject in view, appeals advocating the formation of cla~ses luwc heen placed \yith each mining company, Already a large number of nalllcs ha\'c been subscribed, and yOUI' executive havc no donbt that, ill the immcrlin.tc future, many classes will be establi. hed, Various mCll' classe. for in. tructioll in first aiel and ladies' clas es for nursing work, have l)ec11 held in J ohallllc, bnrg allel along the Wibmtersrancl district, and most of the pupils who pre. ented thelllsclycs for exami, nation passed and ohtained the regulation certificate::;.

A grant of £500 was made to the association by thc Dynamite Relief Committee in Decem1)cL' last year, which the Executive Committcc accepted \\ ith gmtituc1c. The attcntion of meml)ers is drawn to the fact that ill the new lilling Regulations it is provide 1 in Section 20 that" At every minc, not llaving a rcsiclcllt ::;urgeon, the am1)lilance ,hall be undcr the chargc of a relia1)lc persoll approved of 1),')' a flualified smgeon or arlmittccl physician, competent to apply splints awl 1m,nelagcs ill urgent cases." This association in thc formation and instruction of classcs at the mines has lJeen greatly belpful towards the mining industry and the public. Acknowledgments are due to tIle Cape Government Railwn,y Dcpartment fa!' granting frce railway passes from and to thc Cape Colony to all the muses brought fr0111 Cape TO\\'Jl to assist the sufferers by the rlY'l'lmite explosion in Fehl'uary, 1896, and the 1\ etherlallc.ls South African ',Railway (~0DJ1'f\l1Y for granting a frcc privilege

AN UAL REPOTIT. Ix prE:senting to the members of the Adelaide Centre this leport for tbe past twelve months, your Committee regret that the progress has Hot heen as great as they cOI~d wish. During the period under review, the following classes have been held :-One nursing class and six first aid classes, viz., two JOI' men, two for !aelies, and two for youths, the result being that 164 pupil. have attentlr.d a full course, and 125 havf passed their examination. It is a matter of regret to your Com:nittee that up to the present tillle they hall not succeeded in arousing amongst the working community, especially those engag~ in factories and workshops, satisfactory interest ill t11C objects and teachings of tbl Association. There certainly have been many cOll111lel1llable exceptioJ1s, lJotably the railway employees, those of the Glan ville Sugar Refining Company, and Me~sJ\. Burford's factory, but as yet the existence of the St. John Am bulallce AssociatJODI its objects and its motto of "First aid to the Injured," seem unknown to the great

body of our working men. Your Committee will be only too pleaseci to receive snggestions as to the best means of extenllillg the help of the As:ociation in this direction. The withdrawal by the Government of the mode t subsidy of £50 a. year, has been severely felt by the centre, and its powers of usefulness consicleral)ly impaired. In vie\\" of the reCll!'rcnt bad scasons alHl continued dep1'c::; ion throughout the COI11munity, Y0ll!' COlJlmittee have lluring the Ia.st six years carefully abstaineLl frum asking subscriptions from the pnblic towards the maintenance of this almost selfsupporting orga.nization, hut the funds which have heen so carefully hlubanded are nolV fast llimiuishing, a.ncl to ron tinne the ncarly free instl'l1ction that ha been given to the police amI the raihmy cmployee::; it \\'ill he shortly ncccssary, if the Government subsiLly is withhelll this year, to appcal again to the general public foL' assistance to tJ.e Association. Six re·examinations have he en helli during the ,Ycal'. ,incc the inauguration of the centre in the year 1 u5, no le's than 1,19 certificate' haye heen issued, in addition to which many pllpils havc bccn cal'cfully in. tl'lIcterl, but have not presented them elves for examination.

AXXUAL REPORT. UNllER the authority of the Oentral Executive Oommittee a Provincial Oentre for Ontario was organised in ovember, 1 9;', His HonoUl', the Lieutenant-Governor, accepting office as President. TIli year, on the. ugge tion of the hicf Secretary, this body was enlarged to a Dominion Oouucil, composeu of each of the Pl'esidenh of Oentres and Branche, as Yice-Pre idellts, the Members of Council consisting of the Secretaries and two others to be elected next year from each entre and Branch, Thi Oouncil, rel)resenting the whole countr)', will, it is hoped, give \rieler intel'e t, stability and permalleney to the A sociation in Canada. In February, 1896, the Toronto Oentre was organised. It was followed by other Oentres at London, Guelph, Belleville anu OriIlia, in Ontario; \\'eSll1l0ullt and 1\1ontre.:Ll, in Quebec; and Fredericton, in cw Brunswick. It was fOUlll1 that the Oentre at IIalifax, though organised some time previously, was (llliescent, and that that at Vancouver had entirely ceased to exist. The latter is at present beiug resuscitated by Drs. A. 1. Robertson and \V. D. BrydoDe-Jack. The As ociation has the satisfaction of knowing that its ,york is appreciated by those whom it is chiefly intended to benefit, viz., the inuustrial cIa ses, as witness a resolution recently passed, by the Toronto Trades aud Labour Ooullcil, eulogistic of its work, and the favourable comments of the Ontario Governmeut III pector of Factories. It may be of iuterest to record that at the inception of the Association in Oanarln, exclu.sive of Halifax, the General Secretary has travelled 3,884 1I1iles in promoting the work. The following is a 1'cswne of the work of the severnl Centre from January, 1896, to September, 1897 : First Aiel. Fredericton Montreal ,Vestmount Toronto Guelph . Orillia .

the present, while good, would have been still better, had it not been for the commel'cialllcpressioll which ha prcvailed 011 thi.' continent for several years. There is a reasonable probability tlmt Hew Oentres will he establi 'hed during the coming year. •'atisfactory arJ'angemell ts have heen made with the Boy' Brigade, in Canada, and three junior cla se. have 11 ell helr1 under their auspices. The best thanks of the Association are (lue to the officers of the Centres and Branches. The sel:returies, espe<.:ia1ly, are to be thankcd for their untiring labour in promoting the goorl work.

On the 6th August, I inspected a large body of men brought chiefly from the mining districts, under the commnnd of :JI r. ,Va} nman Dixon, Knight of Grace of the Order, in the grounds of 'kelton Castle, Yorkshire, which had kindly been lent for the occasion by Mr. "Wharton. Having submitted a separate report on the inspection, it is unnecessary to recapitulate the details in this report. On the 11 th September, 1897, I made an official inspection of the Wellingboro!1gh Corps at the ,Vellingborongh Town ground, Brigade, Surgeon Lieut.-Oolonel Elliston, V.D., Deputy-Commissioner .J. T o. !II. district, and Mr. T. H. \V oolston, Assistant Oommissioner, also bemg present. . A large hospital tent had been pitchecl on the grouncl fully eqmpped with all the necessary appliances f.or field work, and was in charge of the nursing sisters. The exercises consisted of roller and tria,nglllar bandao-in 0- artificial resniration transl)ort by7 wutrO"on, Ashford wheeled b b' t ' , bb . litters, cycles, and hand seats. After the march past, the proceedlllgs terminated by short addresses to the men and nurses by myself and Dr. Elliston. The appearance of the men, who were nearly all in uniform, and the manner in which they went through the drills were very satisfactory, and reflects great credit upon Mr. T. H. Hilton, Ohief Superintendent of the Wellingborough Oorps, and Dr. W. E. AudJand, Ohief Surgeon of the Oorps. Among those present were Mr. David Dulley, J.P., C.C., President of the "\Vellingborough Centre, Mr. E. P. Monkton, M.P.,

Colonel Clark, M.D., Major P. E. Dudley, and others. I also inspected. the Ambulance station, and was much pleased with all the arranO'ements. Th~ fine anel useful corps is one of the best in the Brigade, ancl owes its present state of efficiency to its careful training under 1\1r. T. H. Woolston, now Assi tant Uommissioner, and formerly Ohief Superintendent of the Oorps. The band of the 1. and K. Companies 1st V. B.

I was greatly :pleased with all I saw, thc l)rogl'ess llladc hy the corps and divisions being highly satisfactory, and reHecting much credit on all cOlicerned. After the "general salute" ami. a march past in sections of 'c foUl's" (the nursing sisters heading this portion of the paraue), I hat!. the pleasure of "'itl1ossing some Yrry excellent" first aiel" work by both nursing sisters and mon, terlllinating ill a supposed railway smash.

I coul<l have wished that more of the supernumerary ollirers had foll owell then example, but no doubt the non-attendance of many \\'a~ owing to the night selecte~l clashing with their divisional drill, and to the long III tance some had to travel. EleYCll corubined drills were also held and "'ere found of great henefit to those who attcnded. I am sorry to say that the ~ttendance at these dril.ls un some occ:lsi~lls ,,'as. not 0 thoroughly representatIve as c~ul~l haye wIshed. The dl'lll mstructIon 11'a generally given by Sergeant-MaJor ::5nnth. The detailed statement of public duty performed durillg the ])ast twclve months sllO'\YS a markcd increase upon that of last year, and tends to prove that the value of the work performed i getting more gene~>ally r~cognised. Th e highest praise is .due to the members of all ranks for tJle Imy III wlllch they yolunteered for the yanom duties, especially for that cOLuected ,,-itll the open paces, whic~l ha .. lJe(:u extended, the Yachting Exhibition, the Imperial In titute, and the VlCtomm Era Exhibi. tion Earl's COlll't. Th e latter continued for three ano. fiye months nspectinly, thl atte~dance being an officer or supernumerary officer, foul' llle~l and two uursing sisters at each station nightly. . On Juhilee day, .June ~2, 504 of all ranks were upon lluty durlllg the d.ay, a1111170 at night during the illuminations, and J1lany di(~ not ret~lln f~'on~ duty 11.11 tIl 3 a.m .. the follo\ying morning. Duty was also lJerforJl1~ll III the CIty o.lstnct ~l:l'llJg the mght of the 23rd. On both occasions of night duty I pcrsonally ymtcd the several stations, and in each instance found the ofllcers and. men at ~heir posts, all:l rrer) arrangement mao.e for attending to any cases of accldcn t or Illness that Imght be brought in. Out of the 35 ambulance and nursing divisions, 25 han presented them,elyes for annual inspection and 32 have lJeen l'e·('xalllinerl, and it i hoped that before close of the year all will make tbemsehes emcien t. I haye conducte,l tlYO examinations for oJJiceI's and ix for supernumerary officell during the year. . Four ne\\' divisions have been formed, \'1Z., Norwood, Doulton, Tottpuham ana Hampstead Jllllction Railway, and Enfield. The total strength of the corp3 is 93;:), which is an increase of 13-1 members upon last year. . At the close of the period uncleI' notice, six. toremen were appoll1tecl to the depaIl. ment of the Superintendent of, tores, :fill'. S. B. Piers, and have aln:arly proyed 01 great service.

It is to bl' regretted that the numerical . trength is not so good as last yeaI', several of the members having left the neighhourhood, and others, not haying time to attend public duty, drills, &c., ha.ve re igned, but are remaining as honorary members. There is a prospect of several more joining the division. We regret to record the loss of one mem bel' through death . everal members turne(l out on Lord Mayor's day, and in the evening Colonel Bowell l' handed over the" Massey nlain· waring" cu p and certificates to the team. Public duty ha been undertaken a large number of times durillg the real'. I n June, a team from the division was . uccess[ul in winning the second prize at the Jubilee competition held at the Crystal Palace. T he case lJOok shows that a large nnmhe1' o[ serious accidents has lJeen attendea to by members. I n June, the division was presented with an "A hford" litter by the l'csidentsol the district, and the H on. Surgeon has given two bell tents. The litter is availa1)le at all times to the public. It is hoped that a Dur. ing division will shortly he started, and it will have the advantage of having at its head Dr. Goorgina Collier, a sister of the HOll. SUl'geoll. D rills for members take place every week . The division is getting a most oOlllplete cCluipmollt together.

M embers 20 . In submitting the Report for the past year, tbd di yi ion feels that there i~ every reason for atisfaction at the progress made. Durin g the year the trellgth of the division has ;ncreased from 15 to 20, LX new meUl bel's having been enrolleJ aO'ainst one resignation, while the present numlJer of members in uniform i 17. as a~ainst nine la t year. The attendance at drill and instruction compare somewhat Ie favourably with last year, the total number of meetings held being 51, with an averaue o attendan ce of 11 ; a against 61 meetings last year, anll an ayerage attell. dance of ten out of fifteen member. It will be spen, however, that in the matter of public duty the division bas well acquitted it elf, a total number of 50 Haring been carried out, with an average attendance of five; as agtlin t 3 , an(l an average of ~ix last year. The corps duties include the following: Earl' Court Exhil'itioll (ix timesL Imperial Insti tute (four times), t. Paul's Cathedral, L ord Mayor's how, Jubilee day, and at Blackheath and Peckham Rye on Bank Holidays. The local duties include attendance as follows: lrim bledon Commoll, Polytecbnic Football Grounds, ,Yim bledon H orticultural ociety' how and port, Xe\~ ,Yim blerlon Cycling Cluh\; Open l'lf eeting, .Jl erton Boys' ,'ports, j[anor Club Football Ground, and ,unday duty at Quick' Road, and Dundonahl Recreatiun Grounds. The number of cases treated is also in exce:; of lat year, the total being 47, as against 31. Th e e ea es are DOt il1clu i,e of any treated when on corps duty. It will be seen from the follo\ying Ii t that many of tIle cases were ex· ceedingly interesting, and it is gratifYing to have to rccord that .'cvcralmembe:s have on more than Olle occasion been complimented on the treatment of thell' patients. The following is a summary : -

Yet on all sides I heal' complaints, how hard it is to obtain sufficirnt 1lI0ney to purchase the required ambulance torcs to enable members to render efficient first [Lid to the injured. On July 3rcl I saw a parade of the Xorth-East Lancashire County Divi ion at Nelson. This wa a lllO t creditallle tum out, numbering 341 ambulance Ulen ~~d 203 nursing isters. Sincere thanks are clue to thc )IayOl', Corporation and Towll Clcrk of X elson, for the help given amI illtere t taken ill thi. gatherin c'. The officers and lllen of the :Nelson Corps were untiring in their e[forts to ll1~ke the Review a sncce!:l aUlI certainly they "cre rewarded. . uperintenclellt- ecretary Ml'. wanton, 1st Officer Ne"'lJOund (Treasurer), Lady nperintellllent :\11'.'. Davies and Lady Secretary Miss Fletcher did excellcnt service. Chief Superintendent "\VhittakE:r, No. cI. District, was in command. I have the honour of presenting a speci9.1report on this illspection, dated July ~9th, 1 97. At Bacup, on July 11th, 1 97, I .sa\\' the oulil-East Lancashire County Division consisl.ing of the Rochdale Corp and the di\-isiOll from Baenp, TIm)" Heywood am! Tottingtoll.

On all these occasions I can say that I ",ilnesed ,Ollle very creditable work, but there is ample room f(\l' exteniye improvements, I haye to "trollgly complain that there eems to exist, on the part of some ollicers and men, a "ery great 'lackHe S in attending the in pectiolls of their respecti\'e corps <ll1Cll1ivisioll', I ha\'e nerer lost an oll}lortllnity of impres ing the fact, that inspection panulc,; \\'ere Ilot to he con, sidered optional, but that it wa.s compu1sOl'Y on tbe part of' e,"ery lil('mber to bo present.

REPORT OF THE A

COU~Il

lONER.

BAL)lORAL TERJlAl'E,

ANLABY ROAD, HULL,

October 17 tll, 1 97, SIR,

I have the honour to report on the II ull corp. that during the past year I have made several" surpri e" visits to the different cli\'i ion (central, ,,,estern, and nursing) and have thus been well able to satiHfy myself of the manner in which efficiency ha been aimed at and maintained, The executive oflicials also have con· suIted with me on uDdeltaking any important movement, and I have thus also been able to keep in intimate touch with the ,,'ork uone and the progress made. Arrangements had been made for a complete corp inspection Oll April 20th, but circumstances intervened, which prevented it at that time, allrl aR I knew how work was being done, I did not consider it neces. <"try to ask for another date this year. The corps divided into the above three diyisions, ha a strength of one Chief Surgeon, two Hon. Surgeons, one Uhief • uperintenc1ent, one llperintellll~nt Secretary, two Divisional Superintendents, 125 rank and file, one Lady Supel'm' tendent, three Lady Officers, an(l 78 nursing sisters, making a total of 214 compared with a membership last year of 134. I am pleased to report there is a distinct improvement in drill, whilst the know· ledge of first aid and its methods keeps at the high stantlanl which this corps has always affected. The nursing divi ion also is ,yell oiliccre(l, awl the work and practice is enthusia.sticaily carried on. Many of the memiJers are doillg a helpful but unostentatious work amongst the sick poor, thus }'l'oving tbe division a. u eful auxiliary to the other nursing organisations ill the city. Practiccs and dnlls are held every fortnight. The Brigade uniform is gradually bcing introd~lced, but pecuniary difficulties prevent its general adoption as fJ. uiekly as I should Wish. The stores in possession of the corps include one wheeled litter, two stretchers, lllne improvised stretchers (for drill and practice purposes), fOLlr sets ::;plints, two haversacks, and the customary supplies of banuages, &c. I have the honour to be Sir, Your obedient servant,

400 In regard to the sectional WOl k \\ hidl ",as taken up this session, we have -unfortunately vory little to report. It has been found, o,ying to pressure of ,york in many cases, imllossible to get thc men of the va1ious sections together. Oue sedion, how eyer, have gone through their programme as originally drawn 11p.

The annual inspection will this year he h e1c1 some time during the month of 1.1arch. lYe arc ilHlebted to the Hon. nrgeon, Dr. Closs, for his interest in the Corp, and for the practical manller in which he seeks to mako AmlJl1lallce work interesting. During the last sessic.n he has (lolivered three lectl1l'es 011 "Circulation" "Some of the Poisons," and "Roller BallC1aging," Th e::;e were all well attended alld the mom bel's were highly gratified 11y the lUanner in which the subjects wer; brought before them, The ladies or tbe ~nrsing Corps were iuyited to attend the ledure on ,'Poisons," and a considerable number availeu theulso1ves of this ollPortunity, It i;,; considered probable that in future, where 11racticable, thcy ,yill be lllyitecl to attend other lectures. As regards the aetnal "ork of the Corps, we have to report 15 cases attendeu to by members, all of which were of a serions natnre; but this doe;,; not by any means represent the ,york done, a' many members do not care to make public what they have done. Th e ecretary has llad many seriou ca 'e' brought under hi notice, which haye not been officially notified; also there are many instance' in which members are able to render prompt aid in minor ca&es, and which are not recorded. The Corps also wish it to be kllOWll that they are always ready to relllOye 11!:Ltients from place to place, if required , ,Ye may mention that their ser,iees haye been called into rerillisition for tllis pOl'po~e, and have been of great service to those injured. Appliances are always to be fuunel at the places notcd in the Association" report, and members of the Corp can ea ily be found. Thanks are due to His Wor hip the Mayor for the llse of 'the Fire Brigade Station for the monthly practices, and also to Captain Mitchell for his illvariabl<' courtesy to the members of the Corps.
