THE CrrAPTER GENERAL OF

THE ORDER OF TIlE HOSPITAL OF ST. JOlIN OF J ERUSALE~I I~ EXGLAXD presents the following report :-The Chapter conoTatulates the ID81nbers on the completion of the new Hall, and on its formal opening by H.R.H. the Prince of "Vales, Grand Prior of the Ordor, in July last. The Members cannot but 1e pleased that a suitable building is now erected for the ll1eetin o's of the Order, while the store and drill rooms for the use of the Ambulance Department will, it is hoped, extend and develop this most useful branch of the Order's work. The formal opening by His Royal Highness was followed by a Reception of the Knights of Justice, who had been promoted in the Order since the last RecepLion by His Majesty the King, when Grand Prior. Tho e attendin o' for this purpose were :Viscount Knutsford, G.e.M. t. (Honorary Commander). A. F. Gresham Leveson Gower, E q. Lieut.-Colonel F. A. Heygate Lambert. Colonel e.

Sir Charles Daubeney was an old and valued member of the Order, and had served on the Council and on many of the Departmental Committees, notably of the Ambulance Department. He also at one time held office as Receiver-General, and his advice and co-operation were always held in high estimation by the Confreres. 1\1r. Rupert Dallas was formerly Treasurer of the St. John Ambulance Association, and in its early days, Honorary Secretary of one of its most important districts, to which he was a liberal benefactor. He also generously presented the cost of the first ambulance wagon used by the Order's Invalid Transport Corps, and rendered valuable assistance in the initiation and establish111ent of the movement. Sir Vincent Kennett-Barrington was enrolled as Honorary Associate in recognition of his services on behalf of the sick and wounded during the Franco-German war. He was subsequently promoted to Knight of Grace as an acknowledgment of his long and conspicuous services in the ambulance cause, both on the Continent and in Egypt, and in furtherance of the work of the St. John Ambulance Association, in which he held the office of Deputy Chairman up to the time of his death. ~ ir Vincent Barrington's genial and amiable characteristics, his deep interest in everything which concerned the relief of the sick and wounded in war, and in the amelioration of the condition of the working classes, had greatly endeared him to all those who knew him, and his loss as a long and active worker on the Order's Departmental Committees will be long and deeply mourned. ~Ir. VV. Dawes Freshfield. The Council has sustained a grievous loss by the lamented death of 1111'. W. Dawes Freshfield, who had ever taken the keenest interest in the affairs of the Order, and whose professional services as H onorary Solicitor were always at the disposal of the Executive Officers, when matters of great and often urgent importance required the most careful consideration. H is co-operation will be not least

remembered in connection with the framing of the Charter of Incorporation, the details of which required not less antiquarian knowledge than legal acumen. Mr. Joseph Lambert was long associated as Honorary 'ecretary of ambulance classes at Jarrow-on-lyne, which were both formed and maintained by his zeal nnd enterprise. ::Mrs. Laverack was Lady Su perin tenden t of the Nursing Division attached to the Hull Corps of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. Her interest in the ambulance work of the Order knew no bounds, and it was owing to her unsparing devotion and zealous self-sacrifice that the success of one of the best Nursing Divisions in the Brigade was assured. Mr. Mark \Vhitwill ,vas for many years a liberal snpporter of the local centre of the 't. John Alllbulance Association at Bristol. (See aclcZen elu n1 at page 20). The following are the awards for the year Diven for acts of gallantry in saving, or aLtelllpting to . aye, life on land, and werG presented to the recipients at 'to John's Gate, on Thnr day, the 9th of July, 1903, by H.R.H. the Prince of ,Yales, K.G., Grnnd Prior, after a meeting of the 1hapter-General, on t.he occa ion of the opening of the new buildings by Hi .

conspicuous bravery displayed at the shipyard of Messrs. Vickers, 80ns, and ~Iaxim at Barrow-in-Furness, on 12th February, 1903. An electric battery on board No.6 submarine, which was being charged with gasoline, exploded, injuring six m.en. Rowe was lowered into the submarine, and succeeded in getting out a man named Underwood, who was covered with the deb/t is of the hatches, battery cover, &c., and in so doing suffered badly from the fumes. A second explosion of less violence occurred after the man U ndenvood had been rescued. The danger was unknown, and submarine work being a new branch in ship construction, it is difficult to guage the risks; but that they are considerable is shown by the explosion on the English, French, and American submarines, the causes for which are not as yet at

attending market, his plucky action undoubtedly averting a dangerous and probably fatal accident.

all clear. GEORGE PETT, J OH~ TOXG, ERNEST GODDEN, and EDWIN HAR')I:ER (Labourers). B1"011Ze lJIeclals Awa1·decl. For great brayery displayed at Booth's Cement ,Yorks, Borstal, ncar Rochester, on 27th November, 1902. A man named Hermitage, overcome by poisonous fumes, had fa,llen into a lime kiln at which he was working, when another workman, named Bigg, went to bis help. An alarm being raised, George Pett and Henry Hill entered the kiln to get the two men out. Pett endeavoured to pull Hermitage up a ladder, but only just succeeded in reaching the surface, he himself being overcome by the fumes. John Tong and Ernest Godden then descended, and made a rope fast to Hermitage and Hill; but they also, overcome by the fumes , had to make for fresh air. Ed win Harmer then descended the kiln, and succeeded in making a rope fast round Bigg. Each ot the four rescuers reached the surface in a state of collapse, and their efforts to reach the deceased men, Hill, Hermitage, and Bigg, were 1110st highly commended by the Coroner at a subsequent inquest. :MB. jIrcHAEL CHARLES HICKEY (late Corporal, Royal Welsh Fusiliers).

Full reports fro111 the Committees of the Ambulance Department and of the British Ophthalmic Hospital at J erusalelTI are appended. The steady progress n.nd activity of the t. John Am bulance Association and of the t. John Am bulanee Bri t">crade, the continued extension of work both in India and in the British Dominions beyond Sen.s, afford ground for deep thankfulness, while t.he assistance given to the Naval and 1ilitary Services by the provision of recruits for the Auxiliary Royal Naval Sick Berth Ileserve, and [01' the permanent Army carer COlllpanies ( t. John Amlmlance Brigade), afl"ord aO'ain striking illustration of the patriotic and nn.tionn.l nature of the Order's operations. It is llluch to be lamented thn.t the scanty pecuniary support given from outside to the Hospitnj at J erusalell1 is again a suurce of deep anxiety, and thi is the lllore to be reoTetted b because the most satishwtor,Y reports arc received of the benefits conferred Ly the hospital on those sulI'erin o ' frOln one of the most dreadful scourges of the En 't, ·whi1e the zeal and self elevotion of the hOI'pital sLaff, and specially of Dr. and Irs.

POST SCRIPTUM. ,Vhile this Report was in press the Roll of Deceased Mcm bel's has been added to by the lamented death of three distinguished members :The Bishop of Gibraltar, on December 8th. Sir Edward Sieveking, on February 24th. Sir Albert

,v. Woods, on Jann£Lry 17th.

The Bishop of Gibraltar took a keen interest in the aftairs of the Order, especially in the sncce s of the British Ophth£Llmic Hospital Jerusalem, which is situated in the Diocese £Lncl of which he was one of the earliest supporters. ,Vhen in Eng-bnd his Lordship frequently attended the Committee meetings, [mel he rarely missed the General Assembly of the Order on 'to John's Day, when he preached the £Lnniversary sermon on several occaSlOns. Sir Edward Sieveking one of the original l\1embers of the Central Executive Committee of the St. John Ambulance Association, which owed much to the cordial support and encouragement given to it by a leading member of the :JIedical Profession of his professional eminence. For many years he seldom missed a meeting of the Committee, and as Uhairman of its Medical Sub-Committee, his £Ldvice in matters of dctail connected with the Association syllabus of instruction, and with the conduct of examinations, was invaluable. A deep debt of gratitude will always be due to his illemory for the foresjght which enabled him to give t.he Association that loyal co-oper£Ltion which added so much to its ultim£Lte and great success. Sir Albert W. Woods was appointed Director-General of Ceremonies at the time of the Incorporation. His heraldic and antiquarian erudition were of the utmost use to the Council, which greatly regrets the death of a Confrere always re£Ldy to afford it his invaluable assistance.

Dr. Haui, on Bntler, who:o appointment a Assi tant urgeon was recorded in last year's report Legau work in July, but as he was unable, for want of accolUJllocln.tion, to Lake up his re idonce at once in the Hospital, he did not Lake charge of In-patients a.nd beds until tho end of I 'epLe11l1)er, when the new house in the Hospital grounds was ready for oceupation. The lommittoe gladly express their further thanks to the o'ener011S but anonymous donor who, bosidos ptl.ying 1'01' the cost of tho extension of the Hospital itself, gave an ac1ditional ,'lllll 1,0 COY l' the eroction of an Assistant Sllrgeon's residonco. As onr roport COvors tho poriod Crom October 1st, 1902, to SeptemLer 30th, ] 90:3, it will Lo seen that in the year just past the Hospital wns still Leing worked by only ono I lu'o'oon for Inpatients. Tho new Buildings wero eOlllpletec1 and tho alterations and additions made in the old prelllise.' finished toward, tho end of 1902, and in tho, 'pring of Lbo present year ten new bods \\'8re openec1111aking a total of thirLy available for patienL '. \\Tith the cOllling 'pring when the busy season of the Hospital sets in, Dr. Cant hopes to have at his c1isposal n. further tell beds, making a total of forty, whose occupants will have the undivided attention of' our two skilled residont urgeon, As the new

building was designed to give forty-eight beds, the Committee call attention to the fact that the Hospital even then will not be working at its fullest capacity. They trust however, that a considerable increase of support from annual subscribers will enable In-patients to occupy the full number of beds, which the present inadequate funds do not permit. It will be noticed that the number of In-patients admitted during the year is slightly less than that of last year (662 as compared with 674) though as above stated there have been more beds in use during the latter part of it. This is due, according to Dr. Cant's evidence, to the severe epidemic of cholera and to the resulting quarantine throughout the country for three months, during which time travelling was entirely stopped and the supply of In-patients, which comes lnainly fronl the country districts, was thus broken off. The number of Out-patients on the other hand shews an increase of over three hundred. Testimony to the usefulness of our work has been given by many visitors to Jerusalem, and by Bishop Blyth who has again expressed himself warmly in its praise. The faille of the skill of its operations has not only been spread throughout Pa.lesLine, but has penetrated Central Asia as far as San1arcand. The Committee regret to have to report that the financial position of the Hospital gives them cause for serious anxiety. Though the Hospital is extending its work and the Con1lY1ittee incurring fresh but absolutely necessary responsibilities consequent on its expansion, the subscription list remains practically stationary. The slight improvement shewn this year is accounted for, not by fresh subscribers, but by the results achieved from two lectures given by Colonel C. M. "\Vatson, C.B., C.M.G., and to 1Ir. Isidore Spielmann, who has collected various sums amounting to £36, to whom the Committee here offer their sincere thanks. It is hoped that some greater interest in this important work of the Order will be shown generally by its members, and that they will rally round the Committee, and not allow the Hospital any longer to suffer from the want of funds, after the extension of its wards and buildings has been provided by private generosity. The Committee regret to report the death of the Bishop of

Gibraltar (Sandford), who took a lively interest in th H . 1 and attended the meetings of the Committee wh ~ h OSPlt~, England. enevOI e was In The ~ommittee have to roport with regret that Colonel C.

Ambulance Department Committee for a great many years past, is deeply ltl,mented by the Committee, an~ i~ fact ~y all. those connected with the work of the AssoClatlOn. Su' VIncent Barrington's personal qualities, hi ser:ri?e in many ~a~1paigns as a Oommissioner and in other capaCltIes for the relIef of the sufferings of the sick and wounded in war, and the great intere .t which he always displayed in every beneficent and hUml1l11tarian movement affecting the welfare of the 'working classes, had greatly endeared him to his colleagues, who will long remember with affectionate regret a personality to whom all who were intimately acquainted invariably became greatly attached. The Committee has also to regret, although from. another cause the loss of the services of Colonel 0. Bowdler, C.B., as Chief Com~issioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. His ceaseless and self-devoted labours, especially during the South African and Chinese ,Val's, have at last unfortunately told upon his health and he has found it necessary to endeavour to recoup his streng~h by prolonged absence aLroad, entailing his placing his resignation in the hands of H.R.H. the Prince of 'Vales, who has appointed as his successor Inspector-General Be~gra.ve Ninnis, M.D., R.~., Deputy Commissioner of the No. 1. DIstnct of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. The services of Colonel BowdleI' as Chief Commissioner during a long and trying period in the history of the Brigade, the extension and development of which owes so much to his energy and enterprise, have been in-valuable, and will long be remembered with gratitude by those who have the best interests of the Ambulance Department at heart. The Committee considers itself fortunate that Colonel BowdleI' has been able to take over the appointment by His Royal Highness of Commissioner for Special Services, which can be carried on to a great extent Ly correspondence. This appointment includes the enrolment of members of the Brigade and others for service in the Auxiliary Royal Naval Sick Berth Reserve, correspondence 'with the War Office with respect to the Brigade Bearer Companies, and correspondence with officers of the rapidly increasing units of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in the British Dominions beyond the Seas.

There can be no doubt that Colonel Bowdler will be able to render to the Order in this capacity not less valuable co-operation than he has done in the past. On receiving his resignation of the Chief Commissionership, H.R.H. the Grand Prior directed a letter to be written to Colonel BowdleI' expressing his estimation of his valuable serVICes. Conspicuous services in the furtherance of ambubuce work have been recognised by His l\1ajesty the King, on the recommend.ation of H.R.II. the Grand Prior and the Chapter-General, by the enrolment as I-fonorary Associates of:1\1rs.

Detachments of five men each were present from the Mersey District Railway, the Cheshire Lines Committee Rail-way, the North Eastern Railway, the London & South ,Vestern Railway, and the Great Eastern Railway, these sections having beaten about twenty· five sections in their respective districts. The result of the Rail-way Competition was: 1. The Great Eastern (March), winning the Order's Silver Challenge Shield with 276 points. 2. North Eastern (Hull), 273 points, 3. Mersey (Liverpool), 201 points. 4, London & South ,Vestern (\Vimbledon), 259 points. 5. Cheshire LineE Committee (\Varrington), 253 points. The competitors belonging to the St. John Ambulance Brigade consi ted of winning detachments from the Cyclists, nJ etropolitan Corps, No. 1 District; the Ell Bay Division, No, 2 District; the ,Vellingborough Corps, No. 3 District; the Kendal Division, No. 4 District; and the Birchwood Corps, No. 5 District. In this competition the Cyclists, :Metropolitan Corps, ",Yon the Dewar Silver Shield with 266 points; the Kendal Corps came second with 229 points; the ,Vellingborough Corps third with 213 points; the Mill Bay Corps fourth with 161 points, and Birchwood Corps fifth with 141 points. Each team carried off a memento of the competition in the form of a carriage clock, or some other article. Votes of thanks from the Committee were unanimously passed to Dr. J. Ratcliff-Gaylard, Judge in the Railway competition, and to Drs. Heaton Howard and Abbott, Judges in the Brigade competitions. Great interest continues to be taken by the Directors of the leading Railway Companies in the extension of a1ubulance work. Colonel C. M. Royds, C.B., M. P., a member of the Central Executive Committee and a Director of the Great Central Railway, has presented a shield for competition annually on the railway in question. Lord Claud Hamilton, another member of the Central Executive Committee, presided at the annual competition at the Ley ton Town Hall for the Challenge Shield and other prizes presented by the Great EasLern Hailway. Similar competitions and meetings for the presentation of

certificates and medallions have been held on the London and North VV estern Railway, Lhe Cheshire Lines CommitLee, the North Eastern Railway, the Cambrian Rail ways, the London and South ,Vestern Railway, the Midland Hailway, and Lhe London Brighton & South Coast Railway. The importn,nce of ambulance instruction ~or rn,ilway-men is proved by the fact that during the year endmg December, 1903, n,ccording Lo the general report of the Board of Trn,de upon Lhe accidents that have occurred on the railways of the United Kingclom, ii-Olll accidenLs to trains, rolling stock, and permanent way 3-4, persons were killed and 919 injured' from other accident on railwa"s 679 I) [1.sseno'ers J b' trespassers, and others were killed and 2,207 injured: and of serVLI,nts of the companies 446 were killed and 3,659 injured during the year.

I~ my remarks in la!'\t year' Annual Report, I entered upon a somewhat " detailed account into accidents in our mining and colliery di tricts, " ctnd what had been done to lessen the injurie and 10 ' of life in these " great indu tries, and perhaps it may intel'est our Ambulance readers " to say something in detail about our railway , Of late years many , comparisons have been made on the working of the rail ways in "America, as compared with British Railways, Of course in such a " report as this the only que tion is that of accidents, and it is most " satisfactory, as showing the CCtre exerci 'ed by all responsible in the , management of our railways, that from all the reports received it will " be seen that the number killed and injured giye a '~ory large difference " in favour of this country, A compari 'on of the official return of the " Inter~State Commerce Commission with those of tbe British Board of " Trade gives the following re ults for 1901. " In the United Kingdom, one pa engel' killed in 8,681,414, " In the United States, one passenger killed in 2,129,382, " In the United K.ingdom, one passenger injured in 516,57l. , " In the ,United States, one pas engel' injured in 120,3 6, The AmerIcan reports show that during the year ended June 30th :: 1902-the c~sualtie t?, pa engel's and eu;ployes on duty were; ra:ssenger blled 303-111Jured 6,0 9, Employe on duty killed 2,516, lllJured 33,71l-Total pas engel' and employes killed 2'819-injured " 38'800, , Accidents in America from coupling or uncoupling car led to 143 " railway employes being killed, and 2,130 injured durinG' the same " period of twelve months, figure that scarcely supporl th~ arguments " advanced a few year ago fOl' the compul ory adoption in Great Britain ( of tbe automatic coupler now in general use in the United States, The " reports of the Inter~State Commerce Commissioners' Inspector shows " that out of 161,371 cases exan:lined by them in the twelve months ended " June 30th, 1902, the number in which one or more defects wm'e found " in the couplers was 12,718, which is eufficient reason aG'ainst the com~ " l(,ulsory enforcel?-ent of automatic coupler on British Railway Lines, " ~ furth~r noticeable feature of accHlents to employes on American "Ra1lways 1S th~ large number due to f~lling from, and getting on or off, cars and engllles, though the magmtude of the figures will be less " s~rprising perhaps to those who have seen how brakesmen e, pecially " Slt or walk about on the tops of the freight~cars while the trains are :: in mo~iC?n, The grand tota~ of the various employes killed and injured, " COl?pnslllg b,ra,kes,men, engll~er:nen, firemen, and other employes, under ~~llS head, ~e~ng k;llled 5:37 ; lllJured, 6,867, " The stat1s,tLCs glven above) relating o!lly to ca,sualties to passengers " and e?J-ployes on ~u~y ~esultlllg from rall way aC:Cldents, do not include " the kilhng or the lllJ urlllg of the general pubhc at leveJ crossings or « elsewhere, ,T~le total number of per80ns other than employes killed « w,as ~,488;, lfiJured 7,209" These ~gures show the danger of the 1evel" CIOSS1!lg still ,so commo~ m the Umted States, and also of the ordinary "Amencan ra1lway statLOns, where there are no footbridges and no ~~bways, and passengers have to cross the metals as best they can, In face of such melancholy lists of killed and wounded as those " re~erred to it would be a somewhat illogical procedure to bid English " ra1lway managenl to go to the United States for ideas, whatever lessons

16 " 'of the gl'eat population of miners, and associating and labouring with " 'them from my earliest days, I am fully cognisant of their sterling " 'qualities by which they are di tinguishcd, and that their industry, " , self-reliance, courage and skill are beyond prai e. I would entrust to " 'them duties the mo t difficult, and the most arduous, confident that " 'what men could do they would do j and in no other section of society '" hould I meet more thorough, con cientious, and resolute work.' " As an instance of what the miner has, very happily only occasionally, "to undergo, let me briefly relate an incident in an accident la,st " November (1903) in the Sacriston Pit, County of Durham-an inrueh " of water into the workings-a man who was rescued alive from the " pit after being in the mine for ninety-two lw'w's says, as oon as he "folmd that the ,,-ater was coming in, be prepared himself for any "emergency. He took the tub which he had been filling, and "which " was about three feet high, and gathered the loo~e coals about him in a " heap together near the timber which is pro,ided for each man to be " u ed when required for propping up the roof. He took se,-eral planks " and laid them from the top of the tub on to a heap of coals which he " had placed a few feet away. He then mounted on to the planks and " made himself as comfortable a possible under the circumstances, " knowing that a rescue pal·ty would soon be at ,,-ork. The structure " he had made raised him three or four feet from the ground. He was, " at the time of the inrush, working on higher ground than the other men " and the water, although it came into hi8 ";\"ol'king, did not rise a high " as the top of the tub at any time. He had a little foocl, 'which he , consumed on the fir. t day, and his lamp gave him light throughout " the day, but afterward he wa without light and food . Fortunately, " he had with him a bottle of fresh water, and u ing this \-ery sparingly, " he managed to make it last him, and when rescued he had still a little "left. He states that he kept up a repeated tapping against the sides " of the tub. After his lamp went out he lost all idea of time. " I continue to hear of good WOl·k done, in the tran port of sick and "wounded in civil life by the Horse Ambulances. At Ipswich, Northcc ampton, Isle of '\Vight, and other places, the removals haye been " numerous, and in seyeral cases covered long di. tances. In the City of " Liverpool, six fully equipped HoI' e Ambulance are attached to the "Police Station, and the calls upon them in] 902,had been 2,759 in number, " so that e,ery ambulance had been at least in daily requirement. In my " addre s at the :JEning In titute already mentioned, I aJluded to this " ubject as of importance to the City of X ewcastle-upon-Tyne and said, :( ( you al'e about to move your Royal Infirmary-admirably. ituated as " C it now i , in close proximity to your leading factories and works, and " C also the Central Railway Station-to a distance away on the Leazes. " ( An ambulance service, neces. ary as it is at all times, will be doubly " (needed when you ha,-e to move the injUl'ed to the new site. Let me " (recall to your remembrance the terrible catastrophe that occurred a few " (years ago at 'Walker Gate, when over one hundred were injured. In ( ( a letter I received from :JIr. Holliday, the then station master at the " , Central station, he said, (that the suffel'ers received prompt attention " (you will well understand, when I tell you that the explosion took " (place at 4.58 p.m. Twenty-four of the most severely injured received " (first aid and were placed in guards' vans, and we had them here at ( ( 5.35 p.m., and conveyed to the Royal Infirmary, close by, in a few (( ( minutes' As showing the importance of this subject, in the year "1890, the late :JIal'quis of Salisbury, then Pl'ime Minister, called £01' " reports from our representatives in all the foreign capitals, and in the " principal cities of the United States as to the means adopted in these

" various cities for t he ambulance transpol·t of . '1" .

This took place " on the 24th Februc.try, and thanks to the (;ol'di[tl support of Lord and " Lady N orthcote and Ueneral Bir Hobert Low and th excellent <tl'range"ments made by !III-. George Lunel, fulfilled allreal:;olutble expectations. " The words which IIis Royal IIighnes' ~poke on that occasion reached H all parts of India through the Prc'>:';, and <..:ould hal'elly 11a\'e failed to ;: l;~ake their mark. I a~n sorry to say that Loru and Laclr N ol'th(;ote and SlI' Robert Low, havmg left Bombay, can no longer chrectlv help that " Centre, but I have reaS011 to be1ie'\~e th1tt Lord and Lady Lmningto11 " and General ~ ir Archibald Hunter will adequately fill their place. The "Bombay Centre continue' to be the st1'o11 0 'e t in India. It has pre" ~~nted. a challenge shield for competition amono' the police of Bombay. " Durmg the past year the Bombay f 'tore D pot has been tmll ferred " sole from Messrs. King, King and Co., who fo), mot' than two year ha ' held H L charge of it and managed it excellently, to the care of fro George und, Honorary Secretary of the Bombay Centre. On 13th Juno Me rs.

"Kino' Kino' and Co. sent in a statement of account showing that " £146'5 . 6d~had been remitted to t. J olm's Gate, and that tock to. the ., yalue of £94 had been handed over to Mr. Lund. Since then 1 beheve ., the sale of tores has been yery considerable, one railway alone having , ordered 520 copie of Cantlie's 'First .Aid.' Until the 1 t July both (. Karachi and Ahmedabad were worklllg under the Bombay Centre. "Ahmedabad till continue to do 0, but on 1 t July the Karachi Centre " was inauo'urated under the patronage of the Commi, sioner in indo " Since th:t date a fund of oyer Rs. 500 has been raised, and four 'first " aid' classes tarted, including one for about 50 emplo;v:cs of the J orth" We tern Railway. Of the five other well-estabhRherl C~ntres "Calcutta, l\Iadl'as, Baroda, Quetta and J abalpur-1 have receIVed .no " formal reports. Th~ most active 9.f ~hem appears to be J ab3:1pur, "whlCh " was founded by :JIaJor E. 1IcK. ,\'ilham~, R.A.N.C., seyen or eIght mont.hs " ao'o and which has already done con 'Plcuously good ,,,ork.

Of the Baroda " Centre 1 haye only to say that it is in the hands of the Chief Medical "Officer of that State, and that Dr. Dhanjibhoy Mehta haf) been " specially mentioned to me for the good work he ha, done both a a .' lecturer and as a translator of the manuals into Gujarati. " The retirement of Colonel Harvey-Kelly (followed by his udden and "much to be regretted death) has proved a ,erious loss to the .;\Iadras "Centre. Brigadier-General J. ixson, C.B., applied to me six months "ago for information, &c., to enable him to re-create the Dangalore " Centre; but, though 1 sent him all that was needful, 1 have heard " nothing furtber . " As regards the Calcutta Centre, the ill-health of ~Ir. H. B. Mason, " the late Hon. Secretary, ha proved a serious drawback; but now that "Dr. T. F . Pearse is again Hon. Secretary, I look forward to a recrud" escence of activity. Mr. H. B. :JIa on, some nine months ago, on the "occasion of a very painful and fatal accident caused by an electric "tram-car, showed great promptitude in appealing to the Calcutta " public to prevent the recurrence of this. He urged the Calcutta " Municipality to establi h ambulance stations. The re uIt was that " the Chairman of the ~Iunicipality, Colonel T. H. Hendley, lIIr, H. "B. Mason and others met to discuss the matter and frame a plan of "action. The re ult of the meeting ha , however, neyer been commu" nicated to me. I attach Colonel Hendley's report on first aid instruc" tion in the Bengal Police. In the PioneeT of 6th May, 1903, appeared "the following notice :-' All Police Inspector and Sub-Inspectors in " Calcutta have now to undergo a course of instruction in first aid to "wounded and ambulance work, and are required to attend lectures " at the Police Hospital twice a week."

" Recent cases of railway accident confirmed his belief that much unneces" sary suffering, and in some cases death, could be prevented, if the mem" bel'S of tbe police force were able to render temporary relief in such " cases, Accordingly, with the concurrence of the Inspector-General of " Police, a scheme was introduced into Bengal for the ambulance training

22 "of the Lieut.-Go\'ernor (Sir Charles Rivaz) and the Inspector"General of police, 'first aid' instruction i being tarted in the , school at PhilIour for the training of all ranks of the Punjab Police. "Thi is very sound. :Major Rawns1ey, R.A.M.C., has been doing good " "ork in and near Ra"a1 Pindi for 'detached' c1as es; and he has a1 0 " been exerting himself to get the Punjab Centre formed. One sugges" tion of his I regard a distinctly practical-viz., that both English and " K ative oldiers who ha"e been through the military fir t aid course " hou1d be encouraged to pre ent themselves for examination for the "St. John Ambulance As ociation fir t aid certificate. I may also ., mention that I received a most interesting and instructive letter " from Dr. Lefl'oy, the Bishop of Lahore, about ambulance hygiene " instruction in mis ion schools. His lord hip favours it, but fears that " the Government Code for State-aided chools i an in urmountable "obstacle. It i on this subject that I trust to haye a talk with , :Jlr. H. vV'. Orange, the Director-General of Education, ·when he vi its " Karachi on th December. In a letter dated 23rd April, 190:3, the Chief " ecretary authorised me, on behalf of the Central Executi,e ommittee, "to addres the Government of India on the :subject of the intro:: duction. of first aid, home nursing, and home hygiene tea,ching in tate-aIded schools. This led to corre pondence ,yith 1\11'. Orange, "who has now been good enough to give me this opportunity of " speaking to him in person on the subject. "From Rangoon Dr. T . F. Pedley l'eports that male and female " c1asse. have been held, and that 26 men and women have qualified for " certificate . He add that, de pite obstaules, he hope, ere long to get :: the. Rangoon Centre d~finitely establi hed. Captain Cooke, the AdJutant, and ~urgeon-Lleutenant Gravely, the :JJedical Officer have o "commenced 'first aid' instruction in the 1 'urma Valley LiO'ht H~rse. "Recently, when :Jlajor-General Stratford Collins C.B. In, pector"General of Volunteers, inspected at I ecunderabad' a detachment of " the Hyderabad Volunteer Rifles, he was invited to inspect the ambu"lance section which had been trained under the St, John Ambulance :: A~sociation rules .and ex;amined and pa,.. ed by Lieut.-Colonel " GlID~ette, I.l\I.s., ReSIdency SUl'ge<:m at Hyd~rabad, Deccan. General Collins remarked on that occaSIOn that thIS was the fir.'t Volunteer :: ~mb~ance section that. had come before him, and he obviously "lIDphed tha:t .he hoped ~t. wO"';lld not be the la t. If the TIaihmy Challenge 0hle.ld competltlon 111 :JIarch next proves a success, it is , worth conslder111g "hether zeal for first aid instruction in the Vol un"te~rs should not be stimulated by the offer of a similar challenge " shIeld. " "I~ ~ une 1 recei:ed ~ letter from Lieut.-Colonel A. :JI. Crofts, C.I.E" ,,~otlfY111g ~hat ~IS HIghness the Maharajah Scindia was ready to ,,~ntI:oduce 111tO hIS .

District nurses appointed in connection with ranches and Nursing Divisions continue to do y<tlllable service, especially at Richmond, Bedford, and Ramsgate, and thi good exmuple has been followed at the ,Vellington Centre, New Zealand. The Committee has to report with deep gratitude a legacy of £500, bequeathed by the late Miss K. A. Johnson, of Oloucest 1', who in the early days of the InOVe1l1Cnt had renderod valuable assistance to the Association in the formation of cIa sos for colliers and miners.

The Director and Chairman and the Central Executi"Ve Comnuttee feel that their best thanks are due to Colonel Yate for his indefatigable efforts to further the ambulance cause in the great Indian Empire. They desire to call attention to the admirable remarks of H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught, quoted in full in the Appendix at pages 215-6. Ambulance work is well maintained ill the Australian and New Zealand Colonies, while many new classes have been formed in various parts of South Africa. At the Annual Meeting of the Cape Colony Centre in December last, l\lajor-General Sir E. Y. Brabant presided, and certificates were presented by His Excellency Sir ,Valter Hely-Hutchinson. A very full and interesting report is printed at pages 223-5. Classes held at Port Blair have been continued, and a very interesting address was delivered, and certificates presented by the,Chief Commissioner, Colonel Sir Richard Temple, Bart., C.I.E., now Assistant Director and Deputy Chairman, before leaving the Andaman Islands.

horses, carriages, and appliances, are in good working order and cond.ition. DUNCAN MEMORIAL AMBULA CE STATION, West I ndia Dock.The number of cases treated at this station during the past twelve months num.ber 393, making a total of 687 since it was opened in November, 1901. ST. P AUL'S A~IBULA~CE STATION.- A total of 483 persons (several requiring transport to hospital) received treatment at this station during the period under review. The grand total of cases treated now stands at 4,314. Members of No. 1 District St. John Ambulance Brigade are on duty at all the more important services held in the Cathedral, and also on Sundays as heretofore. The Report of the Chief Commissioner of the Brigade will be found in the Appendix. It furnishes renewed gratifying proof of the utility of the services of the Brigade on so many public and other occasions, often at no small self-sacrifice on the part of the members, and under conditions which have elicited warm expresslOns of appreciation from the Chapter-General of the Order.

In conclusion, the DiTector and Chairman and the Central Executive Committee desire to again offer their best acknowledgments to the Medical Staff and to the Executive of the Centres and Branches of the St. John Ambulance Association, and to the Honorary Surgeons, Officers, and men of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, without whose zealous co-operation the work of the Ambulance Department of the Order could not be carried on to an extent which has done credit to all concerned, and which has been in time of national emergency of the greatest utility to the State. In emphasising this expression of gratitude the Committee trusts it may in the future still rely upon the co-operation of every member both of the Association and of the Brigade, so that its operations may continue worthy of the best traditions of the old

Order, especiall.y as regards the developlnent of the AuxIliary Royal Naval SlCk Ber th Reserve, th e maintenance at full strength of the Brigade Bearer Conlpanies, the extension of Association Branches and Centres, and the formation of Brigade Units, both in the industrial and manufacturing districts, and in the British D ominions beyond the eas. f

ANNUAL REPORT . T HE past year has been a very uneventful one, the Centre baving made less progress than in any year since its formation, one class only for men having been helfl during the year , Twelve canclillates prese11 tell themselves for their first aid certificates, 3 for lhst re-Axaminatioll, and 5 for their third 01' final examinations. or this number 10 only saLi. fied the examiner. It is to be hoped the interest in the ,rode of the Centre will not fLbate. Day by clay there seems to be a gro\\ing neerl for a. knowledge of' ambulance work to he 1I10re wic1ely known in Ballumy . At the present time there are several growing faetories and works ill the 1,0\\ n where n.eeidents of all kil1l1.' are liable to occur at any moment. As an instance of the necessity of the branch, the following cases which have oceurred during the past year may be brought to notice :-Percy Powell, working at the Britannia W OJ ks, receiving an injury to his finger from a machine. lhe finger was lacerate{l and the bone split. A 5ecoml ca e was that of Florence South, an employe at lIIessrs. Lucas and Co. 's factory, who sustain cl an injury by a sewing machine needle piereinrtcompletely through the finger and hreakingill the bone. The two piece.' of needle were remoyerl with forceps. Both the. c cases were treated 11y Mrs. Beattie, "'ho showed great skill in her prollll1t amI ,·nccc.'sfni treatment. The Centre is again grcatly in<Iebtell to Dr. Beattie, who is always willillg to rencler eyer)' nssistance in his power,

A JNUAL REPORT. THE Centre continues to make steady progre s in a district which arIonl amplc cope for further extension of first aid work, being situated ahuost in the centre of the Derbyshire coaifields, and where, sad to say, there is dai1y need of using fir t aid knowledge for the alleviatior;. of suffering, and of saving life am1 limh. A men's class was held at the close of last year (1902): and at the examination held in December, 24 members presente:i themselYes before the examiner (Surgeon-Major Hutton), who afterwards complimented them upon their skill in attending to various supposed injuries, A large number of minor accidents in and around the collieries have been successfully treated during the year.

A.NNUAL HEPORT. Committee have pleasure ill presenting the twenty-third annual report and statement of accounts, and are gratified to be able to announce that the ,york of the Centre continues steadily to progress and the sphere of its usefulness to increase. The year's working has resulted in a profit of £18 15s. 9d., leaving a surplus of £84 16s. 4d. after voting the sum of £29 8s. 8d. to the funds of the Birmingham Corps of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. .I. ineteen classes were held during the period under review, of whom 15 were male first aid, 3 female first aid, and 1 male nursing; 5 classes were held in connection with manufactories, and your committee are pleased to announce that the number of classes inaugurated by employers of labour continues to increase. The committee desire to call particular attention to the course of nursing lectures to men. The possession of this certificate carries with it advantages which everyone possessing a first aid certificate ought to avail himself of. In view of the success of the Birmingham corps it is desirable that a nnrsing division should be formed from amongst the ladies possessing first aid and nursing certificates, and this matter is now uuder consideration. The sum received from subscribers amounted to £3 12s. Od. The thanks of the Centre are again most cordially due to the medical lecturers, who so generously devote so much time and trouble to the classes, and without whose aid this useful work of the Association would cease to exist. The fund for the purchase of uniforms for the Birmingham corps of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, inaugurated by the chairman, Mr. Courtenay Lord amounts to £42 9s. 6d ., a portion of which has already been expended in assisting man in purchasing uniforms.

Mrs. Robert Tunstill has also kindly presented a silver rose bowl to the nursing division, for competition, in memory o[ her husband. These competitions are anticipated with much interest during the wiuter months.

The efficiency of the members has been thoroughly maintained throughout tbe year. Squads from the Division have won three first prizes, one second and one third, including the .Agenta Cup and the Crossfield Shield. A squad [rom the nursing division won a third prize at the annnal revie\'\' competition at \\Taningtoll. Our second annual course of pnblic lectures was again very successful, for which we are indebted to the public for their hearty support. .A. new interest ha been created with the "Tunstill :Memorial Cballenge hield Competition." Much appreciation and our most sincere thanks are felt for the kind generosity of IIII'. H. TunstiJl, J . P., in presenting this valuable trophy to the Centre. We can only hope that it will encourage this noble work thronghout the di trict. The above presentation was made in commemoration of our late beloved President, Mr. Robert Tun till, C.O. , and also of his father, the late 1111'. , Yilliam TUl1still, J.P., who was also President for many years.

By some means or other the rope got round his neck, and he was suspended for S0111e time. He was suhsequently removed, apparently quite dead. Sergeant William :Jlac:kay auLl Oonstable George Peters, who were on duty in the vicinity, immediatcly commenced artificial reslJiration, which they continued for about half an hour, "'hen the child showed signs of life, and shortly afterwards recovered, 2. It was also due to the exertions of Oonstahle George Peters tLat 1111'S, Keenanwho was discovered in a honse near Union Place, Lochee, quite ullconscious from the effects of gas fumes-was restored to consciousness uy artificial mean . 1111'''' Keenan was the mother of the two children who succumbed to the poisonons effects of the gas fumes, and which well,known and sad occurrence took place on the 25th of December last-Ohristmas Day. Oaptain Dewar, Ohief Oonstable, in his aunual report for 1902, states that the ambulance vans \yere required on 454 occasions during the year. He a,lso states that 181 members of the police force hold the first aid certificate of our Association, amI have been of signal service, almo, t daily, in attending to inj med persons. The Committee would again urge all employers of labour to do what lies ill their power to

em'oulage their employees to attend the classes which are annually held under the auspices of the Dundee Oentre. They" ould also draw attention to the importance attached uy PI1r1iament to the necessity of ambulance instruction, for (( The Mines Regulation Act" compels ambulance mn-terial Lo ue kept in readiness for usc in case of accident; and "The Employers LialJility Act" imposes heavy penalty on employers when accidents occur from any neglect or precaution on their part. The fifth competition [01' the Ohallenge 11iel(l, epen Lo all members who holel the first aid certificate of the Association, and who reside in I 'cotland, took place in the Drill Hall 011 atunlay,l til April. Ten teams took part, No, 4 team bcing the winners. The prizes were presen te(l by Mrs. Geo. :Miller, Dr, Foggie receiving the Shield amitl great cheering. Pl'ofessor Stalker, in returning thanks to 1111's. l\Iiller for presenting the prizes, sai<l he had to congratulate very heartily the winning team . Before they r,oulcl have done so well they must have acquired much useful knowledge, an amount of usrfnl knowle<1ge which was so comlllon no\\' that it was not observed ho\\' much good it did . Indeed, ambulance teaching and training "'as now so "idespread that it c1iunot att1'O.ct attention to the extent that it shoultl. Ambulance training alle,iale(l much suffering and misery at a time of accident. Both in town and country it WLl almo -t impossihle to estimate, and impossihle to over-estimate, the snll'el'ing that had heell canse(l hy rough anll ready, though well meaning, handling, lmt llOW ihey li\'e<1 ill difJ'crcllt Limcs, awl thongh ambulance was not making ,'uch It siil' 110\\', it was doing in its o\\'n rluiet \Yay much good work and infinitely heth"!!' work than wlten it atlracterllllore attention.

The following ea e, 'Thich occurred lately at Titchfield, in the Farelwlll Di, i ion of thi Centre, well illustrate the importance of first aid instruction. A child who had fallen into a mill stream wa brought out of the water, and life l,eing to all appearance extinct, was placed upon the bank, and no effort was made by those about to reyiYe it. Police·constable Davis, who has rccoived instruction in first aid, and holds the me<1allion of the A sociation, on learning ofLho accident, ran to the spot and at Ollee took necessary step for resllscitation, and by his eflorts the child 1'ccovere<1, anel wa restored to its parents. The magistrates at the Fareham Police Court took notice of the case, and Constable Davis was highly commended in court by the chairman.

A ""NUAL HEPOHT. NIXE classes have been held, attended by 16 pupils, ,,·hi.le 114 candidates passed for certificate in first aid and nursing, and 1 for medallions. incc the formation of the Centre, in 1 81, 4,6 :2 per ons haye received certificates in first ai.d and nursing, and 670 have pas ed the three examinations, entitling them to receive medallions. The financial statemelltshow that the receipts amounted to £8316s. 7d., and that on the 30th, eptem bel' there was a ba1ance in the bank of £38 Is. 2d. Th e annual presentation of medallions and certificates earned during the year took place in the Grand Jury Room of the Tmvn Hall on 22nd October, 1903, Alderman A. L. Emanuel, J.P., presi,Jing. Dr. Knott commented on the valuable work of the t. John Ambulance Association, which he de cribed as one of the grandest movements of the pre~ent day for the relief of suffering. Everyone of the police, thanks to the great interest taken in the matter by the Watch Commi.ttee and the Chie f Con table, went through training which rendered them capable of giving fir t aid . In addition, about 25 members of the Force had gone through an advanced course of stretcher and wagon drill (instruction that would prove most valuable in the event of any great catastrophe), and this reflected great crec1it npon them. Mrs. Emanuel then presented the certificates. The Challenge Trophy (foUl' clocks), presented by the Hon. Evelyn Ashley for general efficiency in first aid, was taken by :n1rs. Kiln, :n1i s Claxton, Iiss prent, and Ii 's Hunt; the Harmsworth Challenge Trophy was ,von outright by 011'8. Bi.gger; and the Willis Trophy for indivilll1al first aid was taken by ~1rs. Fulljame. In connection with the Nursing Division, the first prize, a clock, prcsented by the late ~1r. John B. Jackson, was presented to Mrs. Bigger, and the secon(l, a clock presented by lIIi 8 Gieve and ~Ijss Sangster, to Mrs. E. Harris, The services of Miss angster were recognised by the presentation of the diploma and medal of an Honorary ,erving ister. Al<1erman Emanuel observed that very fcw ladies had shown more zeal and clone more hard work than Miss Sangster (the Superintend.ent of the ursing Brigade), with whom was a:o.soeiated

her co-Hon. Secretary, Miss Gieve. On bchalf of the Mayor, he desirr.d to thank the two ladies and those ladies and gentlemen who had assisted, during his two years of office, whenever a demonstration had taken place in the town. Mrs. Emanuel handed a framed engraved Vellum Vote of Thanks from II.R.II. the Prince of Wales, Grand Prior, and the Chapter-General of the Order of St. John, to the Hon. Secretary, Mr. F . J. Coward. Allerman Emanur.l observed that he hoped that he would be spa,rell many years to occupy the position which he had held so well for the past five years. A vote of thank ' to the Mayor for the 11se of the 1'00111 was passed 011 the proposal of Ml'. Coward, ancl theu Lhe Chief Constable proposed a vote of thanks to Dr. Knott, observing that it was through the enthusiasm of the doctor that the police of Portsmouth stood almost at the top of the country with regard to the number of certificates they held. Out of :2:26 men, ~2-! were in possession of first aid certificates, and this, in a great measure, wa due to Dr. Knott. The Chief C'onstable also volunteered to give a prize, to go to the best ambulancc man ill the Force. Mr. Miller seconded the vote of thanks to Dr. Knott, observing that he was tleserving of the deepest gratitude. In acknowlcdging the complimcnt, Dr. Knott declared that the work was done splendidly, and expressed the hope that the Centre woulu enter for the shields offered for competition in London by the t . J ol1n Ambulance Association.

ANNUAL REPORT. DURING the past year 6 classes have been held, 2 of which were for medallion candidates. and of the remaining, 3 were in first aid, and 1 in nursing. Of tho e held at th~ Technieal Schools, Dr . Tamplin took the first aid course for ladies, and Dr. Courtney that for men, whilst the nursing course was taken by Dr. Woods . This summer course in first aid has been given by Drs. J: icol Year, as last , a fortniO'htly t:> fl' 1 and Cotton to the t. Grorge's len's Association, some of the members 0 W 11C 1 have shown a very keen interest in the work, and great intelligence in the passing of the examination. The cIa ses were not so well attended as in former yrars, the total being, including last year's police class, 51 men and 45 women; of ,,,hom 15 men and 17 women received certifieates, and (including members of the Brigade) 27 men and 6 women received medallions. The annual competition for the East Kent Challenge Bowl and Decies Cup, took place at the Artillery Drill Hall, by the kiml permission of Captain Daniel, on T hursday, November 27th, 1902. For the Challenge Bowl six squads entered, one from Ashforcl Town Division, one from "Westgate-on- ea Division, two from Ramsgate Town Division) and two from Ramsgate Raihyay Division. The Challenge Bowl was won by No.1 Squad Ramsgate Town Divi ion; the second lllace being gained by Xo . 1 Squad Ramsgate Railway Division. The Decies Cup for the nursing competition ,vas carried off by Nursing 8i tel' Grummant; the second prize being won by Nursing, ister I ngram. AssistantCommissioner J . S. Griffiths, No. II. District, acted as judge, and expre sell himself highly pleased with the arrangements ma•.le for the competition, and saiu also that tbe work put in by the squads generally was a distinct advance upon that of the year before. A full report of the competition appeared in the local press; but this Committee would be failing in their duty if they did not put it upon record that tbe worthy President of the Centre and L ady Rose Weigall, entertained the Officers of the Brigade at dinner after the competition at Southwood House, bringing a very successful day to a close in a most hospitable manner, which was thoroughly appreciated by the members of the Brigade present. A very important extension of ambulance work in connection with the Centre was the establishment of a district nurse, by the nursing D ivision of the Ramsgato Corps of the Brigade, with the support and co·operation of the Vicars of t . Lawrence and the three district parishes. Nurse Green who took up her work in Novemuer , 1902, is a fully-trained hospital nurse with a previous experience i n district nursing,

hn.ying had two years in the pal'i:,h of St. John, Clerkel1,,"ell, and also for three yean; in the Army Nursing Reserve, during the South African War. Nurse Green has fuUmed every expectation, and supplemented lJY the members of the lll1l'sing Division the work lw.8 proceeded without n break since. A full report will be issued by the llursing Divi 'ioo, but it Illay be ment.ioned tbn.t during the ten months, 113 cases have been aUellde ll to, and 2,631 visiLs paid, of which 2,218 \\'ere by the district nurse alone. The schellie is managed by the oflicers of the Division, and a COl11mittee formed by tho Vicars of the four pal'ishes amI their collectors, each parish fiilding a sum of £:20 a year towards tbe salary of the 11m. e, and the Division finrling the ll1n.terial, llUl'l'ing req lli::;iles, &c. Towards this last iLem Lady Seagar Hunt, Lady of Grace, organized a 1110 t successflll COIlCCl'l ill May, 1903, which was heM at the Ramsgate Parish Hall, with the permission of the Vicar of Ralllsgate, by which after paying expenses, the snlll of £10 noa::; halldell oyer to the Di::;trict Korse Fund; £9 17s. 2d. to the Town Ambulance Division; a11(l £1 9s. 4rl. " 'as expended Ul'Oll ambulance material for the Railway Di\'i~ion . The work of the district nurse speaks for itself, but if it is to be llHl.intaiueel upon a propel' anll suecessful basis, some snch entertainment in its aiel mnst be got uJl each year. to the balance.sheet of the Centrc, inc:ltll1ing the eXpell::ieS of the East ·W lth rcaal'd n hOI1 t Am bulanee CO!11 petitioll, t hc trraSUl'cr has the pleasure to a.nnounce that the total bala11ce ill haml :<: shown by the b .. lan cc-sheet amounts to £JO 6s. 2d.

186 ANNUAL REPORT. IN presenting the annual report, the Committee are again pleased to record that a large amount of good work has been accomplished during the year. The work of the Centre has progressed favourably, increased interest has been manifested, and the outlook for next Session is again encouraging. During the year two classes have been held for instruction in first aid, oue for females (conducted by Dr. W. Perrin Brown), and one for males (conr1ucted by Dr. J. Dunn). The classes have been \'ery successful, for which great credit is clue to the instructors, and to the students for the interest they have taken in their studies. In order to qualify for examination it is a conditioll that four out of the five lectures shall be attended. Thirty-one females joined for the first year, 9 for the re-examination second year, and 7 for the third year, total 47. Eleven males joined for the first year, 7 for the re-examination second year, and 3 for the third year, total 21. Thirty-nine females and 19 males presented themselves for examination, total 58. All passed. The ambulance carriage has been used twenty-byo times since March 1st, 1902. Students have rendered valuable assistance in attending to injuries, the renlOval of accident cases and invalids. One ca e the Committee wish to mention, " 'here a man fell from a building, a eli tance of over 30ft. He had the misfortune to fracture his left thigh, injure his left knee, fracture his left ,uist, break his nose, dislocate his jaw, and other severe ll1juries. First aid was promptly rendel'eu by students, a doctor sent for, anu all that was possible having been done, the patient was removed to the Royal Halifax Infirmary under the superintendence of ambulance students, where, we are pleased to be able to say, after kilful treatment the man was re tored to convalescence, and is nmy nearly fit to follow his usual employment. The Committee beg to tender their most hearty thanks to all subscribers anLl friends who have in any way helped on the work.

when the objects of the Association becomc more gencrally known, a fa]' grcater nnmbel' will antil themseh'es of the advulltages to he derived. To thi .. end thc COlllmittee desires to impress upon the ]lrincillals of schools anLl all ellucational institutions the importance of forming classes, and having their pnpils or mcmbers talwht what to do in cases ofacciLlent and smhlen illncss, until the aiel of a medical '" man can bc obtained.

The Annual StatemenL of Receipts and Expenditure, duly audited, shows a balance of £14.0 98. 7d. to the credit of the A'sociation. The Committee uesil'e to place on r ecord thcir indcbtcl1ness to those medical gentlemen who have so generously givcn their timc and labour to thc in tl'uctiolJ of classes in the City, and throughout the tatc; to the Ladies and Gentlemen who have so willingly llIHlcrtaken the c1uLies of Honorary eCl'etary, and to whom the succe s of the Sub-centrcs has been mainly due; and to thc Pre' , for the COllrteOll:; manner in which they have opened their column to maj-c public the philallthropic efforts and work of the Association.

The Oouncil again desire to impress on the Minister of Educn.tion, the principn.ls of schools, and all educational institutions, the importance of forming classes and hn \'ing their pupils taught what to do in cn. e of accident and sudden l11ness until the nid of a medical practitioner can be obtained. ..t\.bility to render first aid is undou btcdly an important branch of knowledge. choo18, aboye nll, afford the best opportunity, at the age when impressions are mo t deeply made, for learning what to do in ca ' e of accident. A an inducement, the fee for ~chool pupils has been reduced to fi\'e shilling for a cour e of lecture on fir t aid, and a certificatc is awarded on passing an examination.

This examination acts as a stimulus to tl1f' acquirement of n, more thorough knowledge of how to render fir t aid to the llljured, as evidenced by the high percentage of marks obtained and the excellence of the practical work. DllTing the year there have been held 11 men and 16 women':,; firt aid cl,u,es, and 5 nllTsing classe' ; 621 pupils have been instructed, of whom ,n 1 pa, ~ed their examination for certificates, and 63 completed their cour. es for medallions.

202 ANNUAL REPORT. THE Council are gratified to report the marked progress in the Centre during the past year and to be in a position to state that it is the most succcssful year th e Centre has experienced since it inception some eleven years ago . The members of tbe Association, as well as tbe Council, must be deeply sensitive of the loss sustained by the Asso ciation in the departure for South Africa of their Excellencies, Sir Arthur aud Lady L awley. During their sojourn in t h is Slate, Sir Arthur and Lady Lawley eviuced much intflrest in the woHare of the Association, aud were distinctly helpful in the furtherance of its objects. T hl? visit of the Chairman of the Couucil, Lieutenant-Colond Mc,Yilliams, M. B. , a Medical Officer in charge of the Coronation Contingent, to England during last year, happily p erll1itted of the bringillg of the \ V.A . Centre into closer touch with the head Centre in London, tbereby increa ing the interest of the llOllle aulhorities in our work in this State. And our Chairman wa placed in such a po iLion as to be able to advise this Conncil in the matter of forming a Brigade in this city . Your Council intend giving the matter very earnest cousideration during the year. D uring the year fifteen classes in the l'l I etropolitan area "ere con trollcd by the Association, eight classes of which were open to all students in the city; four were exclusively Police Classes, two at Cottesloe and one at Ralgoorlie. Some two hundred students have oeen lectured to, and as a result of the year's work the number of certificates to be presented is one hundred and thirty-five, and of medallions thirteen. T he work of the Association has been particularly successful at Boulder SubCentre, and the officers are to be congratulated 011 the snccess they ha ve achieved. Four classes "'ere held during the past year, and it i to be hoped thnt the knowledge gained and the training recei veLl by the students ,yill be helpful in no small degree to the miniug community, and particularly to the hundreds of men employell there wbose calling is perhaps more open to the sustaining of injuries by accident than are the majority of avocations. The Conncil again desire to impre. s Oll the Mini tel' for E ducation, the principals of schools and all educational institutions the importance of fOlming clases alld having their pupils tanght what to do in cases of accident and sudden illncss, until the aid of a medical man can be obtained. The abil ity to render "First Aid" is undoubtedly one of the most important branches of education . Schools above all, afford the best opportunitr, at the age when impressions are 1110 t deeply made, for learning what to do in cases of accident. , Ye enterecl upon the year with a small credit lJalance of £16 ]5s. 3c1 . .0 successful has been the progress during the twelve mon Lhs that we are now in the satisfactory position of having a bank balance to the credit of £60 9s. 4d., and assets in the shape of stores to the value of £80. T his position, we trust, ,vill be a source of gratification to the members and subscribers, and will no doubt illustrate the fact that your Council and the offieers of the Association have Leen assiLluous in their labours and in the conduct of the Centre's affairs. T he Council desire to record the indebtedness they feel they have incurred towards the medical gentlemen who have so generously given both valuable time and labour as in tructors of clac;ses, and to the F ire Brigade Boards and Mrs. J . M. L apsley and Mrs . McDonald for their courtesy in placing rooms at the disposal of the Centre gratuitously . T he ladies mentioned h ave been h elpful in the working of the classes

and. iJ~ generoll~ly ass.isti~).g the Local Secrctary in the conduct of classes, particularly lathes classes. 111 tIns Ity; to tIle Press for their generosity in thro".. ing their columns o~en 1.11 the fl1l'therallce of the work of the Celltre, and to tlle many friends who have 111 (lIvers ways helped to further the interests of the St. John Ambulance A ·sociation.

REPORT.

THE Committee have much pleasure in presenting to the members the eleventh Annual Report of the Centre. . The most important feature of the work of the pa t year ha~ been the ~rocunng of six Ashford Litters, to be used for the conveyance to the hospItal 01' theU' homes of those suffering from accidents or nOll· infectious diseases. The matter was brought before the members at the last Annual Meeting, and was strongly commended by his Excellency the Governor. At that meeting a collection was taken up, amounti~g to £10 15s. 4d. The Committee sent circulars to the large employers of lahom m the city, and subscription lists to members and former mem bel'S of .the Associat~on. To these there was a generous response, the sam of £127 7s. 2u. havll1g been recClved from all sources. Six Ashford Litters were imported from St. John's Gate, and were placed at Queen Street Wharf, Central Fire Brigade Station, Parnell Fire Brigade Station, l\Ir. P. Hutchinson's store at Ponsonby Road, 1111'. Cawkwell's Pharmacy at Newmarket and at a station erected at Birkenheau by the Birkenhead D etachment of the St. J~hn Ambulance Brigade, the material having been generonsly p~'oviued by the Colonial Sugar Refining Company. It is satisfactory to the ?ollln1lttee to know that the litters have been frequently used for the purposes for wl1lch they were procured, although in most cases of transport of persons sua'erin~ from illness the work has been done by mem bel'S of the St. John Ambulance Bl'lgade. It may be mentionecl that though tn.ose who can afford to clo so are expected to pay for the use

of the AsMorel Littcrs, those who have not thc mcans to pay arc permitted to use them frcc of charge. Th e Committec would take this opportunity of thanking those who havc contributcd to the fund., those who have collectcd subscriptions, and the New Zealand Shipping Compauy, who brought thc littcrs ont freight free. Though six litters have been ]lrocmecl, more arc urgen tly rerl uired, to be placed in other positions in the city and suburbs not yet supplierl. The Committee hope that those who have lloL yet contributed to tllis most clcsiraule object \\ill do so, sending their donations to the 'ecretary 01' any mem bel' of thc Committee. Thc ordinary work of the Ccntrc has bcen of a vcry satisfactory nature. Classes havc been held in the ciLy, at DcvoPllort, vnehunaa Cambridae Gisborne , ",Vaihi , o 0 ) and Thamc~. Dr. Parkes lecturcd Lo the Cuntral Female First Aid. Class , which was attendcd by 27 ladic , of whom 21 passerl in first aid and 1 gained the medallion of the Association; abo to the Central Nl1l'sing Class, attended by 32 ladies, of whom Hl pas erl in nllt'sing I1nd 10 gaincrl the medallion. There were two male first aid cla.sses at the Ccntrc. At tIle former Dr. IncIlis lectnred to 12 men , of whom 8 o pa scd, and at the laLler Dr. 'Walker lectllt'ed to 8, of whom 5 presented themselves for examination, and wcre ucccssfu1. At Devonport, Dr. Laing gave the first aid Icctll1'e to 32 ladie , of \\' hOl1l 15 prc cnted themseh'es for examination and satisfied the examincr. Dr. Beunett gavc tho nursing lectures to 16 ladies, of ,,-hom 10 attended the cxaillinatioll. 'inc pa 'serl in lIlu'sing and 1 gained. the medallion . At Ouehul1ga, Dr. cott gave the lccture. on lil'st aid anrillursing to ladies. At the forlllor 26 atteIHll'c1, nnd ~2 l'a' ·od. At the hitter 23 attended, and 16 passed in lllH. ing and 2 gaillcd the llleciallioll. Dr. Pclbst lectured on fir. t aill to 20 men at Onehungn. Tell attelldell thc cxuminatioll, of whom 9 pa, ~ed in fir t aid ami 1 pas~eu the fir t re-exaltlinatioll. At Gi-;bol'llc, Dr. Fi~her gave the first aid lecture tolallie,', of WhOlll 17 ]la.-seu. At \raihi, Dr. Guinne s lcctured on first aid to 12 ladies and [) men. Of the fOl'll1er (j pa!S eel and 4 of the latter. Both cla. e, ,,-ere attended by morc Ulall the n u muors mOll tionPll, 1m omo were una l)le to (1 tllllify for examination by hl.'ing present at Hot le;;~ than rour lecture. At Tllumc,', Dr. Lapraik lccture(l to about 20 men, hut of these only] 0 c]ualified ror examination, and 9 pa scd. The fact that 111en on thc goldlields ha\'e to take thoir tUl'l1 on night shift prevents them aLtelluillg the lecture ' a. regularly a they would wi h, but ewn thongh they do 110t (lllali(y for exanlillutioll, they acquire a con;;iderable amount of knowlcdge which is cxtrcmely yalu!lblc when accitlent' occur. At C,llnbridge, Dr. Rohert gave the l1msing loctlll'c' tn lallic , bllt the examination ha, not yet be~n helel. ~

The Committee ten(ler theirincerc th'l11ks to the medic'll gentlemen for their valued a i. tance a lecturcrs; a1 '0 to Drs. Knight, Goldie, Ingli , Bennett, Laing, Scott, Pah t, Grant, ,nlliam ,Cule, later, an(1 Aubin, and Me ,1'S.

TEN men passed in first aid and one for the mcdallion; 44 women passed in first aid, 32 in nUl' ing, and 10 for the medallion. Lyttelton Branch.-Five women passed in nursing. "With a view of furth ering and extendiDg the usefulness of the Association, the Committee take this opportunity of u king the aRsistance of all 111e111 bcrs and olhers interested in making known its objects and aims. It is not necessary to speak of the advantages to those who have already gone through a course of lectures. hut they are asked to do their best to help by influencing others to attend the cIa, ses, which are to be formed during thp. coming year. Although a certain amouut of monctary assistance i looked for, aDd is nece,~sary for continuing the work of the As oeiation, it is quite as necessary that canditlates should present themselve for the lectures, and each member is asked to keep thi in view. It is quite possible that iL will be found necessary to incur extra expense in connection with the clas e. nch being the case, members are appealed to to continue to pay the small annual subscription of 5s., the payment of which entitles them to attend one course of lectures h eld during the year, with the exception of home hygiene. AslifO?'cZ Litten-Four of these, wheeled and on springs, each with a hamper of surgical re::juisites, are stationed at the Police, Fire Brigade Depots, and at Ulllnel', and stretcher at Police Office, Richmond, for the public benefit, in case of accident or sickness. An ambulance stretcher is also placed at the t. Albans Fire Brigadc. The Christchurch Working Men's Co-operative Society, 82, 84, and 86, Colombo Street, has procured and placed 011 their premises an am bulance stretcher and hamper in charge of 1\11'. M. IV. IVoodfield, who holds the medallion of the Association. This is for use in case of accident in the vicinity. BOTse Ambulance.-This is now stationed at the Rink Stables, Gloucester tre('t, and may be engaged on application to Mr. W. Hayward on the premises. Mr. Hayward is furnished with a scale of charges which he is authorised to collect on behalf of the Association. During the year ending 31st Dec., 1903, 136 patients have been conveyell t,o tIle hospital and elsewhere by the horse ambulance. The litter service is performeu by members of the Fire Brigade Corps. A L owmoor jacket is placed at the Lyttelton Railway Station. The thanks of the Asso::iation are due to thc medical men who so kindly gave up their time for the requisite lectures, as well as the equally responsible task of examiniDg.

AKNUAL REPORT. T HE Centre during the year under review has ma(le steady progress. The I~al'acbi Branch has been constituted" The Sinei Centre," \rith a President and Executive. Owing to tbe prevalence of plague, work at the Ahmedabad Branch was much restricted, but Dr. B . H . Nanavatty, F.P•. C.S. (Edin .), and Dr. Kalianwalla, have again formed and are instructing classes. L iQut.-Ool. Anderson, I.M.S ., F.R.C.S., still kindly undertakes examinations. With a view to stimulating the interest of the Born bay police in am bnlance work the offer of a challenge shielu and mcual1ions, supplemented by prizes given by D r. Dinanath B. Naik Dandekar, Hon. Life MemLel' of the Association, is now under consideration by the Acting Commissioner, and it is hoped that annual competitions will be organised upon lines similar to those for the challenge shield presented by the Ohapter of the Oreler fol' competition amongst the I ndian rail ways, the first competition for which will be held in March next. A class for instruction i n H ygien e, a subject which is of such vital importance in v iew of the plague and epidemic diseases which periodically visit the City, h as been

lcctured to lJY Dr. Dadnchallji, L.M. anll s., and will s110rtly 1)c examined for COll feLTing or cerlificates . The Presidellt anc1 the CommiLLee bave again gratef1llly to arkno\\'ledl".{c the yulnalJle assi:-:bll1C'e rendcrcr] hy the Secrctaries of t11C local Y.\V.C.A. in fOl'millgla<lics'cla,sscs in nrslaiclallc1 hOlne nursing. It is gratifying to nob that a c1a'ls in fir:;t aill has also been formed by a similar as';ociaLion for young 111el1. 'rwenty-fonr la(lics aml twenty-three GoYel'llment telegraph signallers, with theiL' Superintendent, 1\11'. E. A. Kenyon, Ilon.

H. the Duke of Connau~ht, accompaniecl hy II.H.H. the Duchess of Connaught and their Excellellcies LOl'll and Lady NOl'thcote, at a meeting at the Town Uall 011 tllC 25th February last, which "as largely attenr]e<1 by the LU1f1ging C011lmittee and otbers intereierl in the ,,·ork of the Centre. IIi· Hopl Uighlless, replying to an aduress by the Pre i<1ent of the Centre, it" R. C. Low, General Officel' cOlllmanding the Bombay Almy, . aiel : Your Excellellcie, La(lies allll (icnt1emen,-Defol'e I left England the Grand i\[aster of the Order, the Prince of \\\t1(,5, flsked me if I \\"ould take an opportunity of howing the illLere·t he take'i amI I take in the ~'t.

John AmbnlallceA·.ociation, and of' pre ·e ntingcertinc:ttes. Yon hal'e all heard the report which has Leen read. by the Gellcral Officcr Commall,ling the Bombay .Army, and I am yery plea'ied Lo sec that Sir RolJcrt Low takes nch yery lleep intel'e t in pro moting this gootl work. I am cerLlin tllat the Bomhay Centre is ycry grateful for the great inlere L shown by hi Excellency the Go'/cl'llor and Lady K orthcoteill a work \\'hieh i 'till in its infancy Lnt \I hich "ill, I hope, Sl)1ead far and wide th roughon t Intlia. To Lho _e gentlemen, British anu native, w bo lIa ye assisted in lhe work I de ·ire to expl'c. s my grateful appreciation of the time they have givcn up to it, al1Ll of the excellent rc nlts which have already attended their cndea yonr,'. Ilel p to tho e who t hrongh aecitlent are 1110111 ell tn.rily incapacitated, and who for immediatc aid may not 1)e able to get the attendance of a medical offiecr, is of snch importance that I am certain that in a conntry like India, where there i great llull1anitarian feeling, people will readily rc. pond to the endeayonrs which are being made hy the t. John Aml)ulanee A. sociatioll to promote its ol)jects, and Leach tho c \\'ho arc mo lly brought into contact "'itll pa sengers and olhers how to render first aid. ueh people are natnrally the police and tIle employes of the railways . And I am yery mnch plea cd t.o ee that the Commi sioner of the Bombay police and the Bombay and Baroda Rail,vay haye so largely taken up this work, and that already t\\'o of t.he police huyc been able to put to practical test the great advantages of iiI' L aid by whi.ch the lives of two boy taken

216 out of the sea almost dead were able to be restored to animation. L adies and Gentlemen, this is a special work in which ladies can do a great deal, and I am certain that the kindly interest taken by ladies, both British and native, in this work will largely promote its propagation throughout the ~o untry. Bombay has taken a , ery leading part in St. John Ambulance work, and considering that it is only two years since it was fairly started, I may say that I am immensely struck and very much pleased to see what has already been done. -We hope, however, that it is not going to remain in Bombay alone, but that all parts of India will take the work up, and will recognise its utility and its humanitarian influences. It is not so long since this work was started in England, but the way in whi ch it has spread dl1l'illg the "past twenty years has been marvellous. I do not know what we should have done in the late war in outh Africa had it not been for the assistance given by bearer companies who ,Yent out from the St. John Ambulance Brigade, and who "\Yere able to a si t th e Royal Army Med ical Corps iu their onerous duties. L et me assure you, ladies and gentlemen, that not only do I , but also Her R oyal Highness, who has kindly come here to-day, take the deepest interest ill this work. 1 wish it every possible success, and I hope that OUt' coming here to-day will show yon the , ery practical interest \\'e take in a work which we are sure is only in its infancy in I ndia, and which will, we hope, spread among all nationalities and among all creeds, and th at as time goes on there ,yill not be a town 01' village in I ndia not having among its inhabitants someone who has obtained a t. John Ambulance certificate . Votes of thanks have been accorded by the Chapter ann Central Execnti ve Committee to the following ladies anu gentlemen for valuaule services rendered to the Centre : To Dr. Benson, Vellnm Vote of Thanks. Votes of thanks to Dr. Sir Bhalchandra Kri hna, Dr. R T. Nal'iman, ~I.D., Dr. Kawasji E tlulji Dadaehanj i, Dr. Rashin ath N. Gokhale, Dr. Dinanath Naik Dandekar, Rao Bahadur N. T. Vaic1aya, Mr. Damodhar Goverdltandas of Bomhay, and to Dr. B. H. Nanavatty, M.D . , F.n.C.S. (Ellin.), and Dr. N. K. Kalianwalla of Ahmedabad.

Th e Managing Committee greatly regret the departnrc of their Excellencies Lord and Lady T ortl1cote, who by becoming Patrons and Life Members of the Association greatly assisted in the formation of the Centre, and at all times rcadily assisted in furthering the aims of the Association.

Octobe?', 1903. OF the many cha,ng;e ' that haye tal{en place in the Brigade within the

In. t twelve months none was of so much importance nor is so greatly to be regretted a.s the 1'e 'igna.tioll of 'hief CommisHioner, iolonel Bowdler, C.D., "\\ho was (1,ppointed to thaL position in 1 98. It is gratifying to all oyer whom he 11a.s ruled .0 10110' and so ably, to know that the breakdown in h('a.lth which has cause~ him to tender his resignation of the Chief Commissionel'''hip will not neces 'itate hi. withdrawal from all adi ye pa.rt in th work of the Brigade, His Itoya] IIighne s the Grand Prior ha.\-ing al pointed him iommissionel' for .'pecial, 'ervice.

232 and in New Zealand, and there a.re already igns that a considerable and early development of Brigade wOlk in tho'o and adjacent States ,,~ill re ult from these appointments. Enquil'ies regarding the mode of procedure for forming units of the Bri~ade have been received from several other Colonies, including Canada, Cape Town, the Tmn, vaal, Jamaica, and Barbadoe , a.nd it is believed that teps are being taken to organize units in one or t"\,'0 tation. in India. Major C. H. Milburn, 2nd East Hiding Volunteer Artillery, D puty Commissioner No. 6 District ince December, 1898, re, ign his appointment, to the great regret of all who have served under him. He is succeeded by urgeon-Major F . ' Y. Gibbon, V.D., an officer 'well acquainted with the Di tl'ict, and in clo e touch with those interested in ambulance work in the neigh bourbood. The Royal Agricultural how wa held at Park Royal thi,~ year fo1' the first time. The usual ambulance arrangements were made by :ro. 1 Di trict; 62 ca ualties were attended Lo. Of the competitions open to all Di tricts of the Brigade tho Dewar Shield was won by the Cyclist Division :;\Ietl'opolitan l'orps, and,the Symons Eccles Cup by the Kendal Diyi'ion. FiYe team' competed in the finals. The Argenta Cup open to team hom Distl'i(;t::; IV., V., and VI. was ,von by Bl'ierfield Divi.'ion. On the occa ion of his vi it to Hull in May, for the pm'po. e of unveiling a statue of Her late :JIaje, ty Queen Yictol'ia, cl'ecLed by the inhabitants of Hull, His Royal Highne's the Grand Prior pre 'ented medals to members of the Brigade who had erved ih ~hilla ancl in South Africa during the late war who '" ,ere re ident in the 'lo"" ,n or neighbourhood. The Head-quartersproYided in the new building adjoining, 'to J olm's Gate, and opened by His Royal Highne' the Grand Prior on 9th July la.::;t, is excellent. It consi ts of Chief Commisfiionel"s offic ,Brigad oftice, Brigade room, (for Lecture, Examinations, :JIeetings, etc.), record room, In addition, the great hall is availe:'tble for eh·ill purposes by pennis::;ion of the Chapter General under certain 1'e trictions. The du'tllg of 9hief Commis ioner, it is atisbctory to state, ha::; in no way mterrupted the general routine, the General In.·tructiol1s, Hegulations, and Brigade Standing Order, thanks to the care, fore. ight a.nd tedmic<'tl knowledge displayed by Colonel Bo,vdlcr, C.B., are if carefully carried out sufficient to render the succe::; ·ful ,yorking of the organization automatic. The very effective tate of the units in the. eyeral districts i' mOi-;t satisfactory and reflects the greatest credit on all concerned. The work necessarily devolving upon the Deputy Commi,'sioners, and likewise upon the District staffs, i of yearly increase. To bu;:;,)' men c't limit must sooner or later be reached, and it is to thi' fact t.hat resignations amongst the. e officers is to be referred. Tha.t the e resignatiom; <1,1'e not more ~requent indicates an amount of zeal and devotion on the part of those m authority in the various Distrjcts not to be equalled mnong::;t the members of any other philanthropic organization.

At a meeting held on June 25th, the memhers made him a pre. entation, suitably inscribed, in recognition of his valuahle servicc . Fonr other members have also resigned, chiefly tIne to lellYing the neighl)olubooo, but as a set-off ten energetic rec.;ruits, the result of a first aid cla s held <luring the winter, have joined. The Division is now in pos ession of an Ashf I'd Litter. This was purebased as the result of a house to hou. e collection, made cll1l'ing the summer, the sum collected amounting to upwards of £30, which, after deducting c.;o t of litter, leaves a substantial balance in hand. SeveralerioLl cases have lJeen treated by members duriDg the year. At the church parade for Diyi iODS in Eat J\:ent held at :Margate on the unday following St. John's Day, ten members were presen t. It is hoped by the end of another year that the members will be in posses ion of the regulation uniform.

29G "The event of the day was the afternoon parade, which took the for:11 of a demonstration of practical army ambulance ,York. A supposed picket at the yillage' of Hulcote bad been surprised by an opposing force, and very much cut up. FoUl' sections "ere immediately ordered to form a collecting and dressing station, and the supposed wounded were disposed of in various positions and places in tho village by two Chief Superintendents, who displayed great ingennity in hilling the supposed wounded men in ditches and other difJ'erent positions ,,,here wounded men would be likely to fall or crawl into. Stretcher parties "'ere soon on the spot, and proceeded to render temporary first aid, 3.ncl carried the "ounded to the collecting station, where Oolonel Elliston examineci auu passed them on to the dressingstation in the rear, "here they were again examined by Ohief Surgeon Audland, and the cases were classified as "serious" or "slight." After this had been clone in the glare of the hot sun, the men were given a short rest, and then, after 1,\\'o hours' sharp work, marched back to camp anci dismissed. '1'hus ended Olle of the be t days of "'ork, both for general instruction in first aid and discipline ever carried ont in a camp held by the brigade." At the breaking up of the camp the officers present unanimously expressed thG wi h that these camps of instruction might be held annually in the district, and in new of their value as a means of keeping up the interest in the general work of the Brigade, I beg to commend thG subject to your notice for approval and hGlp. On July 25th a new ambulance station, IVith head-quarters for the Corps, was opened at Ipsmch by the mayor, in the presence of a large gatherin a from the town and neighbourhood. A complete system of "transport~' for ae~idents and removals is in connection with it day and night, and during thG first fi ,-e months since the opening 71 calls have been recei,ed, and thcamuulance waaon "'as out over 60 times. In concluding this report, I desire to conley to my Dist~ict Staff, Hon. mCTrons, and Chief Superintendents of Corps my best thanks for the valuable help they!:> haYG at all times given me in carrying out the Brigade duties. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, GEORGE S. ELLI.·TO r, Knight of (haee, 01'deT of the Hospital of St. John of Jenlsalem, Deputy Commissioner, }'-o. III. Dist?·ict.

Le\"i., ~I.B. 9. Burlington Hall Aston New Town E stablishment not complete . DLU'ing the year No, 8 Divi ion (Kynoch's) has been formed, and added to the strength of the corps. It is to be regretted that No.2 Division (I-li~hgate), and the Curzon Street (L. & N . ,\~ . Ry. ) Division have uoth ceased to exist, in con equel1ce of their non,compliance \yith general regulations. ,Yith reference to the la tt(:r Diyision, endeavours are at th e present time Leing made to re-orgallize the sallle, and place it on the strength again in a suhstantial manner. TIle Ko. 1 Diyisioll (head-quarte~'s) and No. 9 Division (Buriington Hall), are in course of formatioll, and it is hoped in a \-ery short time to ha"e both theSE; Di,isiol1s registereJ in accordance with Brigade regnlatiom. The head-C],uarter's Di\'ision ha been i11augurateu, in order that all ambulance men in the City, who arc holders of the first air1 certificate, and desirous of joining the Brigade, and are not already attached to other Divisions, may become members. On the occasion of the banquet gi l-en tothe Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, M.P. (Colonial Secretary), in the Town Hall, previous to his departure for. outll Africa in Novemuer last, a contingent of the members of the corps \yore on Iluty along the line of route of the torchlight procession from Victoria SCluare to Highllllry, uuder command of Chief Supt. Fred Gilbert, a serious accident occurring in Bristol Street by the collapse of a wall, a number of person were inj meu, to whom first aid was rendered by the men on duty. On February 14th and 21st an examination was held at head-quarters for appointments as sei'geauts aud corporal., \\'h&n 36 llIen presented themselves for examination . The first aid portiol! of the work COllsisted of an hour's written examination, while the rivn voce portion was takcn lJy the Chicf Superintendent, and the R. A.M.C. drill was taken uy .Major Da\'irl ,'llIith. The percentage of marks gained uy the men Was exceedingly good, and displayed a real and practical interest in the \york, and with snch a spirit of earnest activity prevailing, the corps cannot but prosper and increase in llsefulness. In connection with the above examinatioll, it is desired to place on reconl the kindness alJ(l ge~erosity of the Lord Mayor (Alderman Hallewell Rogers), who gave 1 sergeant's Ulufornl, and of J. Courtenay, Lord, Esq., J.P. (Chairman of first aiel cOlllmittee), who gave 2 corporals uniforms. On April 25th, 3 teams of the corps, from os. 3, 4, and 6 Divisions, journeyed to \\Tellingborough, to compete in the ui~trict competition for the Dewar Challenge Shield and Symon's Eccles Cup . Th ey \\'ere accompanied by the Chief Spperintenrient and Supt. Dudl ey. After a keen competition, in 'which H teams took part, the Birmingham teams \l'ere tleclarell t.o llave secured 2nc1, 3ru, and 7th positions. This being the first time any team from Dirmingham had competed the men are to lJ e congl'atu lated upon the su<;cess they achieved . During the early part of the present year the Ohief, 'urgeon (Dr. Thomas N elson) delivered a course of nursing lectures at head-quarters, to the snperintendents and

T he Division has well maintained its efficiency. A growing interc:st is apparent at the extra calls for duty, which thc loyal ones readily respond to; two meml,ers did duty in London, on the occasion of the Royal Progress. The decrease sllown by liS, involved the loss of a good and capable first aider, whose depa!tlll'e we regret. Efforts are being made, now that \ve are freed fro111 debt, to acquire a Ii Lter for the social settlement.

Durin g the year the Diyision has turned out for public duty twelve hmes, most of these duty parades occurring in the latter huH of the year. It is to be regretted that Farticulars of ca es treated on public duty cannot be given, the" ca e ?ooks" not beinO' available but when it i mentioned that on one ground where pubhc duty has o been taken on' Saturday afternoons during the summer by the Leice::.ter corps some 50 cases are booked, aud the Town Division have taken their regular turn of duty th ere, it will be seen that the members have been of use to the public .. It is to be r egrettecl that the finances of the D i\'isioll are not iu a more satIsfactory condition. The Divi, ion is supported by members o\\'n contributions only, and consequently it is \yorking with borrowed materials, a the "'hole of the property belonging to the Old Town Division "as kept by the members when they left the Brigade. Five members are now wearing full uniform, and during the next year there is every probability that a further num bel' will see their way clear to do the same. The removals by the new WAgon have been attended by a number of this Division.

The work taken on the whole 5ho\\'s great imprOYemellt, this is owing to the cxtreme kindne's of tho Hon. urgeon in granting permission to the Division the free use of his lawn to drill and practice on, where he is nearly always on the spot to examine and. correct the work done by the Division .

snpport necessary to make these functions success ful and useful. Detailc~ r.eport~ have been furnished to head-quarters bearing on these parades. By your pernnsSlOn, SIr, ~hc Annual Di trict Conference was held at :Mol'ecam be on 26th Sept. A large gathcnng of hon surO'eons ambulance and nursinO' officers, sergeants, and. corporals attended the C;nfer~nce, 'and as Deput) -Commis~ioner I occnpied the chair. The :Mayor of Morec:tmbe kindly atteuded and welcomed the Conference to lorecal~lbe. Al.though the subjects dealt with were neithcr hea,:"y nor ab ·trll . e, ye~ an lllstruchve and pleasant afternoon resulted. These re-uUlon~ of th.e officers III a larg.e, scattered area, such as No. IV. District is, are of the hIghest unportance ; aClluallltances are made and cemented, good-fellowship is stren&tbe~)ed, and the general welfare of t.he Brigade enhanced. I have to record my oblJgatlOns to Hon. Surgeon and 8~lpel:111tendent Oldham M.D. and the o~ccrs of the Morecambe Ambulance amI NurslIlg Divisions for th'eir la~ish hos11itality and killCllless in. providing all. the officers ,yho wished to remain in :Morecambe for the week-end WIth acc01l11ll0daholl as gUCfltS of tbeir friends. On Sunday a church paraJe was lleld nnder the COnll;l.anct of District Superintendent-Secretary Garnett. The .Oldbam Corps and Chtheroe Division went into camp, and I had hoth camps l;l1spected an~ reported Oll. In eacb casc the reports were favourable as to the l'outllle of camp hfc awl the general efficiency of the officers and Ulen under ?a~lya . Important ~1l11)l11~nce out.y. \\'LtS undertaken by the Barrow-in-Furness DIvISIon on the occaSlOll of thc YlSIt of H.R.H. Princess Louise to Barrow on the 25th August, 1903. Excellent arrangements were made by Superintendent McLarty. In all 23 cases of injury and sickne s were dealt with. In two instances-(severe fractl1l'es )-the nalme of the accident nece sitated the removal of tl1e injured person by ambulance wagon to the hospital. The inspection of each unit i~ this di trict was nnd~rtakell by tIle District Staff the division of this labour belller mude as equal as possIble, As I IHlYe now some 130 divisions under my charge, it ~'ill be seen that this work l1lnst Cl~tail a considerable amount of railway havellin u and absor1 a large amount of bme. Each inspection is reportpd to me'by the me~nbcr of the s.tari' conducting this. duty, l'l,nd a detail of this report is cnt to the officer of the nmt so as to enable hUll, or her to correct faults and avoid mistakes in tl1e future. This procedure I till(l to wOI~k exceedingly well, and its reception by those conce]']]ed i most enc~l11'agi~lg. The brigade bearer companies formed at Bolton, Preston, and Oldham aye III a hIgh state of efficiency, and the ins1?ec.tion reports on these. bearer (,0J1llH11~lCS are. velY satisfactory. As Deputy-CornnusslOner I was present tllls year at the mS'pechoI~ of the Bolton and Preston Companies, and handed the parades over to the llli'pectlllg officer, Colonel Duke, R.A.M. C., Dr. Thomson, District Chief SnrgeoJ), took this duty for me at Oldham. Volunteering for service in the Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve has not proceeded as rapidly as I could have liked. Althoug~ a goodly number of lLlen have joined this reserve, yet it is not the response wl11c:h should have been given by No.4 District to a l)atriotic call. '1'he standard ask~c1 or by tbe Admiralty is high, and this has stopped a number of those wbo ,yere \\'llll11g to serve from being enrolled. I am yet very hopeful on the score of this Reserye. In closing I beg most cordially to thank all the memhers of my District S~arr for the courteous assistance at all times at my service. Specially mnst I mentlOl1 the untiring devotion to tbe very onerous duties of his position displayed by :Mr. Garnett, the District Superintendent Secretm·y. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, CilAHLES J. TlUMBLE,

The ursing Divi!<iolls had yielded 9 nnits represented \,ith a parade state of ltil of all ranks. 'ix police s(ll1ar]s yielded 33 men. This brought the total parade state, includillg the district f;talr, to 501. I ,ms received with a general saInte, and after inspecting the line, amal'ch past in sections of folll's was "ell and steadily executed, the Nursing Divisions leading. I was much stl'nck by the impl'o\'ed appearance of all ranks on parade. The uniform was in excellent condition am], as a rule, the men have lparnell to dress correctly and turn out clean, "mart, and soldier-like. The ne,,, browll lJClt equip ment has beeu generally a(]opted . Its serviceable and neat appearance tends to smarten a parade . I am gratifierl to record the great improvement f;hmyn in both foot-drill ann stretcher-drill. As is nsnal i.n the case of these com hilled [larade~, the 1\ l1l' i ng Di vi~ions made a most cred ita ble turn-out. These ulli ts al \\,(1)'S do great credit both to the Brigade and them. cl\'es, and I cannot praise too liighly the spirit of determination to succeed which pervades tllis portion of our organisation in K o.

The men entered into the. work ·with enthn iasm, and were employed 7 hours, and marchcd 16 miles dUrIng the manceuvre·.

The members were asked to furnish men for duty at the Agricultural how and Hospital Sports, at both of which they were called upon to render first aid, and in all cases they were complimented for their work. On the 3rd June, being the occasion of the unveiling of a bronze tablet on the Town Hall, Ilkeston, by General Sir J olm French, in connection with the war in South Africa, the member, who had volunteered for ambulance duty, receiveLI from the General the medal presented uy the Order of S~ . John. The General on this occasion complimented the Corps very highly on theU' smart appearance. A section of the Oorps journeyed to London, to do duty on the occasion of the Royal Progress in October, 1903 . There have been some very good attendances at the lectures on llursing, from which it is hoped there will be a good number pass, and obtain the certificate.

In presenting the 12th Annual Report of Brigade work in Leeds, it is npcessary to make reference to the grievous loss the Leeds Corps has sustained by the death of the late Samson Fox, Esq. , C.E . .T.P. and C. o ., of Grove House, Harrogate. The deepest regret will be felt by all members, and equally by subscribers. ~Ir. Fox was interested in the work ot L eeds Corps since its formation, and prior to Leeds Corps, in the Armley and ,Yortley Di vi ion, which latter held a first aid class at Leeds Forge in 1892. In later years 1111'. Fox took a still deeper interest in the work, and gave very con'siderable financial as istance on many occasions, the following instances may be mentioned, his generous gift of 25 complete uniforms, his presentation of war ribbons in the Town Hall, L eeds, on Saturday, September 2 th, 1901, following a complimentary dinner given to the men of Leeds Corps, who had returned from service in South Africa, to wilicb he liberally subscribed, and he also gave a handsome donation to the Armley and IV ortley band, which had played en rou teo Many other instances might be mentioned of Mr. Fox's liberality and kindness of heart. Turning now to general matters, it is gratifying to note that in the last report of the Chief Supt., he is enabled to record such a vast change in the financial position as compared with the previous year. On September 30th the accounts closed, showing a balance of cash in hand, of £12 6s. 6~d., in addition to which, A Division has £7 5s. 5d. in hand, "F" Division £1 12s. 7d. and "0" Division £3 6s. 8e1. The Corps a1so has drill books and class stores for sale, value £2 lOs. 8d. The total credit balance therefore is £27 Is. 10~d., against a deficit on September 30th, 1902, of £119 16s. 6d. I t will be remembered all Divisions were last year in debt, except "F" Division, which had a small balance in hand, some Divisions have been able to c~ear all their debt, whilst others have not done so well, all deficits owing by DiviSIons to the Corps, have however been withdrawn, so that every Division starts on October 1st, 1903, absolutely free from debt. Th e help received from Officer Myers and Private Haley has been most gratifying, the former at much inconvenience, collected from workshops £23 2s. , and with the help of a small committee, has made a profit of £42 7s. 10d. , on collections at pullic-houses and the Queen's theatre, Holbeck, to September 30th. Private Haley has by two prize drawings, made a nett profit for the funds of £33 lOs. These two amounts £75 17s. 10d. in all, were by credit apportioned to accounts of Divisions, but as the money was retained by the Corps against the debts of Divisions. the last year's deficit was reduced. During the year .men have again done good service at sports, foothall mat~hes, shows, hospital carlllvals, etc., and have dealt with a large number of accidents.

Om bu ct le lJand lias continued to ill1pl'oYe, anel has contributed to sucCP. s of many occ;sions, not only in connection with Leeds Corps, hn t neighbouring Divisions and Corps also . Dl1\'ing the year tlte mell1bers were callell upon to attend the flllleral of one of their comrades at Garfol'th (an enthusiastic and promising hugler), abou t 60 me III bel's ill" all werc pre cnt. During the y~a~' therc 1.1as been formed whnt i known a. "0 Bearel Co., t. JohnAmhulallce Il1'lgac1e, ,nth head<]ual'tersat Leed . and "'hi~h incl.udes n~el1 from I3l'ighou e, .Bl'.adfor~l, and Bal no~dswic~ . This bearer company, "'lnlst bemg (]lute separate. and (hstmct from the Bl'lgac1e, IS composed of St. John men. The company ,,"as 1llspected at Armlcy on aturday, Kovember 21st, Hl03, by Col. O'OOllllell, 1'.~LO., of the North Eastern Di trict, who expre 'sed satisfaction with the drill. 01. BowdleI', c. B., was present, as were also several yi 'iting Officers, ",llOse men were members of the company. The annnul inspection of the difl'el'eu t Divisions of L eeds Corp took place on Saturdtey, eptember 12th, at Armley, IIolbeck, and Om'forth, by ~ssist. Oon-:m. S. IV. ]'lalkin, all movelllents in foot, hand, seat, and stretcher dull, etc., bemg carried out sati factorily. The total 11Iembership, on eptember 30th, stands at 301 Oflicers anci men. In conclusion, it may be melltioned, that from January 1st, 190-1, the position of Chief upt. of Leeti· Corps ":il~ be filled by Mr. Wm. Mathieson, jnr., Tlenburl1, IIorsforth, near Lee~l , and It l~ hoped that Officers a~u men ",ill place in him that full confidence wInch ,yas enJoyed by the lute ChIef Supt., and that he will l'cceiYe help from all l'Ilnks. It is as 'ure.d that ,,·hen .he make his report he will be able to state how largely the. n:e.111ber 'lup and sUbscnption list has incrrasecl, and probubly that some further D1Vl 'lons have ,?een added to Leeds Corps. It is sincerely hoped tl~at the n1f~mbe~'s will be cleternuned .that the COlUin CT yea,r shall in every way echpse any prevlOus year, and subscl'lbers are appeakd to to help the members to carry thi out, iu doing which they will be fll1'therinrt the ohject of one of the grande ·t in titutions the ,yorld has eyer known; not ouly Jo t.

There are soveral contributory clements to this re 'uIt, some of which are, the determination to rcduce tIle clebt on the Divisiou and the noncontinuance of the classes, etc. It is deeply to be regretted that there is in the Pivision , what probably applies to other Divisions and Oorps, a noticeable falling off 1U the attendance at drills, by members, after they have obtained their medallions . It is hoped allother year to be able to continue the classes, and so qnalify new men for enrolment as members of the Brigaue. Members of the Division have assisted D1

421

420 in the removal of several patients from the various works at which they are employed, and proof:; of the usefulness of a knowledge of fir t aid are constantly being given. The small nnm bel' of men on parade at the annual inspection is accounted for in the following manner. The inspection took place during the time a local holiday was in progress, when many of the members are away from home on their anl1uallea ve, and they consequently had to be excused attendance. To some of them it was a great disappointment, as the inspection is looked forward to.

CREASE, F.R . C.S.

REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER. SllIELDS, 14th Octobe1', 1903. SIR,-I have the honour to submit my first and the annual report of No. YI. District for the year ending September 30th, 1903. During the short time I have been in charge I have visited every Division with the exception of Malton, which I regret to say has become defunct. Regarding the others, I found their condition very much like smouldering embers, and wauting stimulation and greatgr opportunities of development. There seemed a lack of interest amongst th 8lD. , as though something had gone out from thcm; and no doubt this was due to the great loss they had sustained in the resignation of Deputy Oommissioner Milburn. I inspected Gateshead Fell Division on the 23rd May, 1903, they had not recovered from the loss of that large-hearted ambulance pioneer, Superintendent Harrison, whose death was recorded last year; Hetton-Ie-hole Division on the 5th September, they are a capital body of men, have everytbing they want, and are doing good work. Hull I vi ited on the 17th, 18th, and 19th of September; this corps is in grand working order. The Divisions I inspected have a thorough knowledge of th eir duties, their books, stores, and equipment heing well kept. Hull itself is a model ambulance town, and in possession ot first aid boxes and stations in lUO t cOllvenient places, and they possess a wagon, which is much used. It lacks one item, however, common to all towns , with an overhead electric car system, and that is, I did not find, either in the boxes or trams, a single pair of n~bber gloves. I am sure they ~oul~ be a great s~feguarn. in all municipalities that possess electric systems for lightmg and travellmg, and I hope to see their use universally adopted. ,YithernsHa Division still maintains its locus standi. Beverley I was not able to get together, but I examined their books, &c., and found them in a very satisfactory condition. I visited Barton also, and found a strong desire to have a Division there, and Captain Gurney, Chief Constable of the Hull Police, promised me much support in the future. Nearer h?me I inspected the N e\Ycastle Di vic;ion, which IS increasing in numbers and enthusIasm; but the Tyne, ,Veal', ann. Tees are very far behind in am hulance appliances and organization, in spite of the enormous amount of teaching that has been done during the past 20 years. The .Sol!-th S};ields polic~ and nursillg Division, with the youngest Division in the Dlstnct, The Lads III Navy BIlle," or S.S. Vo1. Life Brigade I inspected to~~t~ler, t~eir litters, wagon, material and stores are well k ept. I trust these DIVISIons wIll soon form one corps. 'lhey are all willing, smart, and as active as any other I have had the pleasure of inspecting, and I can with confidence support the tlesire to form a strong Sick Berth Reserve out of these nimble men, who look so zealously after the savillg of life upon the waters, for I am sure they would be a great acquisition in time of war, and useful in times of peace. In all my work I was ahly assisted bv the District Chief Surgeon Dr. .J. R. Crease, without whose help I should ilOt have been able to have made that thorough and efficient inspection that was absolutely p.ssential on my taking over the charge of the TYNE DOCK,

OUTH

district, and I desire to thank him for his generous services; my thanks are also dne to all the olficcrs and men of the various Divisions who gave m e such a hearty weleome, not forgetting the Lady Superintendents and llursing sisters, all of whom were efficient to a degree. Dr. J. R. Crea e, District Chief. urgeon, who kindly mad e a very careful and exhaustive examiuaLirm of the members and sisters of the Divisions in the distri ct reports to me that cc he is well satisliec1 with the general work, and he has formed ~ very fn,Yonraule upinion of their knowledge to render first aid, and their capabilities to act as llursing si tel's." I have much pleasure in enclosil,g his report in its entirety for your appro\'al. In conclusion, from the opTlortnnity I have had of visiting the variolls Divisions in No. VI. District, I feel confillen t that before another year closes, many more will be formed, a larger nUlllher of members wearing the uniform of the Brigade, and with th e as i tflll ce of my staff, and the individual efforts of every officer and member, I shall be able to report big progress in ou!' wOlk within the N orth-Ea tern District. I haye the honour to be, iI', Your obedient Servallt, FnEDEnICK ,Yo GmDo _', Y.D., L.R. C.P., Deputy Commissione?', No. VI. District, St.J.A .E. To the Chief Commis ioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade.

15th JanllC61'Y, 1904. SIR, I have the honotll' to submit the first An llual R eport of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in Ne,"" South ,Vales. Early in the yenr notification of th e ap]lointmellt of a Commissioner, a Medical Ofticer-in·Chief, and a Del ,nty Commissioner for the tate of New outh Wales was received, an<l these ofIicel's proceed ed to form Divisions of the Brigilde. T aking the existing ]lractiee e;1as (·s of the t. John Ambulanc e Association as a foundation they personally visitell most of the branches in the Metropolis, and as a r esult six Ambulance Divisions and one Nursing Division were formed and registered . Of these all but one were found efficient at the end of the year. There is every prospect of a large number of Divisions being formed during the l1l'esent year. As a result of the work of the year tllere are 110W five Ambulance Divisions and one Nlll'illg Division, with a total membership of 147. Th e Ambulance Challenge Shield, presented by Lieut.-Colonel R. E. R otb, D.S.O., p_:r.r. o., wa won hy Mort's D ock Division. The North Botany Division, which wa formed and registered earl y in the year, was una 1Jle to maintain the necessary efficiency, but is about to be re-organised on a sounder footing. I take this opportl.nity of tbanking the D epu t y Commissioner, Dr. T. Sto1'ie Dixson, for the loyal assistance he bas rendered at all times. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, S. L ANE MULLINS, 001n?nissiorze1' in N. S. W. Th e Chief ComnJissioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade.

TO 'rKE LOCK HO-;PIT.AL.

As we briefly announced la~t week Sit' Edward Henry Sieveking died on Feh. 24th at his hou~e in Manchestersquare. The medical profes~ion of this country has thereby lost one of its best known members who for more than 50 years enjoyed a distinguished position not only as a physician in the scientific sense but as the trusted medical adviser of the highest personages of the State. Sir Edward Sieveking, who at the time of his death had attained the advanced age of 87 years, was born in St. Helen's·place, Bishop. gate, in the Oity of London, on August 24th, 1816. For an outline of his lineage and youth. ful journeyings on t.he continent we are indebt-cd to some autobiographical memoranda which ha\'e been intrusted to us by his youngest son, 1\11'. A. Forbes Sieveking, and which we hope may eventually be given to the public in an extended form. Sieveking was descended from an ancient We tphalian or North German Ijutheran family. It is suggested that the original spelling of the name was Sieviking, a name which marked descent from the Vikings, the Scandinavian adventurers who fet.tled in We tphalia in the eleventh century. AnyhOW, the family dates back to the sixteenth century and sub. equently became prominent in the intellectual, political, and mercantile circles of Hamburg. In the early part of last century, for instance, an uncle was known among European statesmen in

connexion with the negotiation of commercial treaties. Sieveking's parents came from Hamburg and settled in London in 1809, his father becoming a merchant in Fenchurch-street. His mother was a daughter of Senator J. V. Meyer of Hamburg. His education was commenced in England and continued on the continent, first at the Gymnasium of Ratzeburg (a little after the time when Samuel Taylor Ooleridge was writing some of his best known letters from the lake-girt island near Lubeck in MecklenburgStrelitz) and then at the Gymnasium of Berlin. Of his stay at the latter school and his subsequent movements he has left a record as follows: "I passed the AbiturientenExamen, obtained a certificate of 'maturity,' and transferred my allegiance to the Berlin University, where I dissected under Schiemann, attended the lectures on physiology by Johannes Miiller and those on chemistry under Mitscherlich, and then went to Bonn for a year where I attended lectures on surgery and made myself well acquainted with the Rhine and its lovely tributaries. ...... For two years I studied medicine at University Oollege, London, and then went to Edinburgh University where I graduated as M.D. in 1841, my thesis on 'Erysipelas' receiving a star of distinction. In the latter part of 1841 I went to Paris for the winter and studied at the Hotel Dieu under Andral, at the Hopital St. Louis (for skin diseases), and the Hopital du Midi, where I followed the practice and teaching of Ricord, ...... travelled through France and North Italy to Vienna, where Jager especially attracted me, and I attended a private course of ophthalmic surgery under his assistant Rigl, when I travelled with my parents through Hungary, Tyrol, and South Germany." After his rvanderyah/re he practised for a short time, about four years, amongst the English colony in Hamburg, where he delivered a course of lectures and founded a children's hospital in conjunction with his aunt, Miss Amalia Sieveking, a philanthropist and pioneer of nursing, whose biography, translated by Miss Oaroline Winkworth, is still known in England. He also published in German a treatise on Ventilation and started the Alster Rowing Olub, which athletic association delighted later in honouring their founder. It will be seen that his early education was calculated to give him self-reliance and a sound introduction to medicine

as well as to make it unlikely for him to take narrow or prejudiced views. Returning to London in 1846 he commenced medical practice in Bentinck-street, Manchestersquare, where he re ided until 1857, when he removed to Manchester-square, living there until the day of his death. He wa admitted a Member of the Royal Oollege of Physicians of London in 1847 and soon engaged actively in literary work. In 1849 he published a small treatise with the title, "The Training Institutions for Nurses and the Workhouses," a question in which he felt much interest and which also formed the subject of a paper read by him before the Epidemiological Society in 1854. In the same year he translated for the Sydenham Society Vol. II. of Rokitansky's "Pathological Anatomy." After holding the po t of physician to the Northern Dispensary he was appointed in 1851 assistant physician to St. l\lary's Hospital, an in tit uti on with which he maintained a life· long connexion. At an early period he became lecturer on materia medica and for 37 years in the wards, the class-room, and the out-patient department he was a prominent figure in the school. He became full physician to the hospital in 1860, only retiring from this position in 1888, when he was placed on the consulting staff. He was also one of the first physicians appointed to the staff. In 1852 he was ejected a Fellow of the Royal Oollege of Physician of London and afterwards filled various offices in the Oollege, including those of examiner, Harveian orator, senior censor, and vice-president. As vice-president under Sir William Jenner his claim to the presidency was held by many to be stronger than that of Sir Andrew Olark, but Sir Edward Sieveking himself, after experience of Olark's strenuous ways, allowed that he had been superseded by a man with peculiar aptitude for the post. In 1866 he delivered the Oroonian lectures in the Oollege, the subject of them being the Localisation of Disease. In 1877 he delivered the Harveian oration, with the result that the Oollege, together with the Royal Oollege of Surgeons of England, aided him in producing an autotype publication of the MS. of Harvey's original physiological lecture delivered in 1616. At an early stage of his career he contributed to the B'l'itish and FO'l'eign Medico- Ohi'l'1b'l'gical ReviMv, then edited

4 by its founuer, t:lir John It'orbes, who became his firm fdenu and whose name was given to Sieveking's younge~t son in 1857, the year in which Sieveking succeedecl to the editorship of the Review. In addition to Sir John Forbes and his colleagues at the hospital and the Royal College of PhysiC1ans of London, he was on terms of intimate frielldship with many men eminent in medicine and litemture, including Sir David Brewster, Charles Kingsley, F. D. Maurice, and Henry Orabb Robinson, who knew his parents and in whose reminiscences will be found a eulogistic allusion to the on. Sir Edward Sieveking's first contribution to THE LL'CET appeared in the issue of Sept. 10th, 1853, and wa" entitled" A Case in which Hydatids were Di. charged from the Kidney during Life." In 1854 with the collaboration of Dr. Handfield Jones (also of St. Mary's Hospital), he published a ":Manual of Patho· logical Anatomy." In 1858 there appeared the first edition of his important work on "Epilepsy and Epileptiform Seizures, their Causes, Pathology, and Treatment," which was reviewed in THE LANCET of Jan. 16th in that year. In 1861 he published in our columns Olinical Remarks on Neuralgia in a series of five articles and also became president of the Harveian Society. Many years previously he had been appointed physician-in-ordinary to the late Duke of Oambrioge, the father of the present Duke. In 1863, on trhe recommendation of Sir James Olark, he was appointed physician-in ordinary to the Prince of Wales, now the King. In 1873 he was made physician-extraordinary and in 1888 physician-in-ordinary to her late Majesty Queen Victoria, having been knighted two years earlier. In 1849 he married Mh· s Jane Ray who survives him. By her he had five so ,one of whom is in the medical profession, and three oaughters, one of whom is now the wife of Professor Starling, having previously been married to the late Dr. L. Woolridge. The following appreciation of t:lir Edward Sieveking's work as a colleague comes from a member of the staff of St. Mary's Hospital, and shows well the esteem which he enjoyed among his colleagues as physician, teacher, and friend: "It is some years since Sir Edward Sieveking took an active part in the practice of medicine, but those who had the pleasure of his intimate acquaintance will remember him as one who, if still imbued with many of the

5 trac1ition:s of an earlier scbool o[ thought anrl action, was keenly imJ:lressionable to the influence of more recent methous. He was in the exact sense of the term a general physician and con idered specialism in its narrower interpretation with little tolerance. A urvey of bis profe~sional career reveals the wide range of hi intellectual activity. Whatever subject he touched-e.g., pathology, neurology, climatology-he left the record richer by his work and pen. He po sessed much of the courtly grace exemplified by many of his contemporarie;.., and succes. fully strove to maintain the lofty ideal he had always in view. Whilst appreciative of the claims of others he knew how to assert his settled conviction. What Loru Granville was in politics t:lieveking was in medical polemics. 1£ he excelled in one thing more than another it was in the rational treatment of disease, and whilt paying primary attention to the special nature of an ailment he never neglected the claims of the body corporate. He made humanity his study and the amelioration of it~ ills his constant care. 'He had a tear for pity and a heart open as day for melting charity.' As a colleague he was loyal and devoted. 'fo his equals in station he we deferential; to hi 'ubordiuates he was encouraging, helpful, and considerate. His method of teaching were not, perhap , quite in accordance with the present trend of directive a' oppo eel to descriptive inculcation of knowledge, but he wa ' clear in diction, impressive in manner, and conclusive in argument. The medical profession has lo't one o[ its most honoured lights and St. Mary's Hospital, the home of his life-work, a guide, counsellor, and friend. " This brief appreciation of his work at St. Mary's Hospital depicts Sir Ed ward Sieveking graphically. We see how the liberal education and valied opportunities of his youth gave Uexibility to his views and breadth to his sympathies and we can understand that when once he was interested in ~.l. subject he spared no pains in promoting the views upon it which he thought sound. To questions of nursing, education, and hygiene he paid the close attention which he considered such matters should exact from the general physician with the result that he was able to give well-reasoned advice in directions where many medical men would have considered ignorance excusable. And with all his wide range

6 of accomplishments a high ideal of conduct kept him courteous, generous, and kind. Though in a sense Sir Edward Sieveking belonged to a day that is past his death is deeply felt by the medical profession. The funeral took place on Feb. 27th at Abney Park Cemetery, the memorial service being held in St. Thomas'8 Ohurch, Orchard-street, Portman-square.

WE mentioned bri('fly last week t he death, at an advanced age, of . 'ir Ed\vard. ,'ieveking, wlJ ieh occurred on February 24Lh. Edward, 'ieveking was born in 1816 in ,'t. lIelens Place, in the Oityof London. His Inther was a mpl'chant and came of a good old NorLh (rC'rman stock, and members of the family a1'(, still to be found in the> old. home at Hamburg . Edward ,'icveking was ducntec.l partly in England and partly in <:i-rrmany. lIe tudied medicine at Berlin, Bonn , University Oollrg<>, London, and subsequently at the University of Edinburgll, wher he took the degre of M ,D. in 1841. For some years after graduating 11" practised at IIamburg, C'11iefly among the English colony there . While in rC'sidrnC'e there he wrote a small work on ventilation, and hplped to bring abont the (>stabli, hment of a children's hospital. He rf>turn'd to London in 1847 and passed the examination for l\I('mlwr hip of the Royal Ool]pge of Physicians, of which Ooile>g<' 11(' "'(\S in 1852 admittpcl a Fellow. In the prf:'cpding year he WitS appointed Physi<.;ian to the Out'patirnt ])ppartmenL of • t. 1IIm'y's IIo pital, with which he remaiued actively conn€'cled for forty years. On his r tirement he was eipeted Oonsulting Physician. He was for some time Physician to the LoC'k Hospital anu. to the Hospital for the Paraly~pd !'lnd Epileptic, In 1849 he iSSUCG his first publication in England-a palllphlpt on nur ing and llis advocacy hall mudl to do with the great dev('lopment which had r suIted in the tr8ined nurse of the present day. IIe rt;Jad a paper on tIl subject before the Epidemiologieal •'ociety, and, resulting therefrom, a committee was formeo, which for years endeavoured to realize a ll,ational system of nursing tIl ) poor. On mol' than one occaSIOn a deputation, hE'ndcd by Lord 'haftesbury, waited on th(' Poor Law Board, who approved of the plans propos d, anll issued drculars in favonI' of them. Nil' EdwHrc1 was one of the translaLors of Hokitansky's great work on Patlwlo,fJical Anatomy for the Sydenham Society, and aft("l'wards, for ttl(> same Society, translated Romberg's work, Nervous Disease~ . . In 1854 he pullisllrd a work on Pathological Anatomy written 1ll conjullc'iion with bis colleague Dr, lIamHipld-Jol1l's, hl' also wrote a book on epill'psy, Lhe s('cond p(lition of which aplwnrcd in 1861.

lIe was appointed Physician in Ordinary to II.RH. the Prince of 'Vales in 1863, Physician Extraordinary to Queen Victoria in 1870 ' and Physician in Ordinary in 1888. When His present Majesty cam~ to the throne Si~' Edward ~ eye king, as he had become 111 1886, was appo111ted PhysIcIan Extraordinary to His Majesty. At the tercentenary of the Edinburgh University he received the honorary degree of LL.D., he was also a Knight of the Grare of t. John of Jerusalem, and had been President of the Harveian and of the Royal Medical and Ohirurgical ocieties. Sir Edward ieveking gave valuable assistance to Mr. Propert in founding Epsom Oollege, and was its first IIonorary Secretary. He was a Vice-President of the institution, as well as a member of the Oouncil, whose meetings he attended regularly until his health failed. Sir Edward Sieveking married in 1849 the daughter of Mr. J. Ray of Finchley, and had a large family; one of his sons, Mr. Herbert E. Sieveking, was formerly I.: urgeon to the Victoria Hospital, Oairo. Sir Edward Sieveking, who was a member of the British Medical Association, was for eight years a representative of the Metropolitan Oounties Branch on the Oentral Oouncil. It was largely owing to his initiative that the medal for distinguished merit was founded by the British Medical Association. The medal was founded in 1877, and is awarded to a person who has conspicuously raised the char~cter of the medical profession by scientific work, by extraordmary professional services, or by special services rendered to. the British Medical A.ssociation. The statutes and regulatIOns were drafted by Sir Edward, then Dr., ' ieveking, and approved by the Oouncil in 1871. It was first awarded in consideration of the heroic conduct, self-denial, and humanity of the medical men at a colliery accident at Pontypridd, and w?-s formally presented at the annual meeting in Manchester m 1871; on that occasion a gold medal was awarded to one medical man, silver medals to thref>, and bronze medals ~o eight. In subsequent awards the medal bas always beell 1Il gold. It was presented in 1879 to "urgeon-Major James Reynolds, lVI. B., V.O., of Rorke's Drift; it was alVa:'de.d to Dr. William Farr in 1880 as an expression of the AssocIatJOn's high appreciation of his long and successful labours on behalf of statistical and sanit.ary science, and in 1886 to Dr. Edw:ard Waters for his long-continued, self-denying, and able serVIces in the cause of medical reform. In 1888 it was awarded to Dr. Ormerod, of Workington, for gallant services in rescuing workmen in a colliery accident; in 1890 it was awarded to Surgeon Parke, surgeon to the Emin Pasha Relief Forre; and in 1896 to Surgeon-Oaptain H. F. Whitchurch, V.O:, 1.1\1.8., for extraordinary gallantry in the performance of hIS ~rofes sional duties during the Ohitral expedition. In 1897 It w~s awarded to Mr. O. G. Wheelhouse and Sir Waltcr Foster 111 recognition of their services as the first two direct reJ;>resentatives of the English profession on the General Med1cal Oouncil. Sir Edward , ieveking delivered the A~dr~ss ~n Medicine at the annual meeting of the AssoClatIOn 1n Sheffield in 1876. . . We are indebted to a colleague of the deceased phrslCIan for tIle following notes on his work at St. Mary's Hospltal: f Sir Edward Sieveking was the last remaining member 0 the originalstaffof St. lary's Hospital, which was elected. aftpl'

much thought, and wiLlI most excellent results, in 1851. His immediate colleagues were Alderson, King Uhambers Sibson, IIandlield-J ones, and Markham; and, as one look~ back upon this list, one can scarcely fail to be struck by its ~trength. .Fo~· fifteen years Nieveking pat~ently plodded away III the out-patIent department of the hospItal, and for sixteen years he lectured on materia medica in the medical school a subject which by no means lends itself to oratorical tre~t ment. But he did the work well-as well as it could be done -and in a most painstaking manner. The I ctures were given in the summer sessions, and at a very early hour in the morning. But the lecturer was invariably punctual in his attendance, and most meLhouical in his dealings with the matter in hand. More than this, he almost succeeded in mfl.king the lectures interesting. l\L-lt ria medica was however, the only subject on which he ever lectured; fo; with :-libson, Oham1?ers, lIR:n~field-J on s, and Broadbent taking in turn .the class 111 mpdIC:lt1E', there wa obviou ly no vacancy for hlln theN'. Probably, m()reover, be would not have desire~ on. ~ physicirm wl~o could lecturt~ upon materia medIca for sIxteen years Inl ght deem himself unfitted for suc:cessfully unctertakmg the other and the less methodical work. It was doubLless to ,'ipvrking's disad vantnge thnt the circt;tmstances of his elec tion upon the staff of 't. Mary's lIospltal e~ta iled hi.s spenlling fifteen. l.ong years among t the out-patIent, WIllI t thr other phy telan -men of about his own age-:-wer pIon autly occupied in teaehing from the very eases WlllC}~, "\\T 'ek afLf>r. w('ek, 1)(' was sending up from nmong the out-patIent. whom IL wa" Lhen the custom to attend in some dark roolllS in the ba elllPnt of the hospital. But when the day eventually arriv('d for ,'ievekin~ t o be elected upon the senior staff-it wns in I866-11e quirkly proved himself to be as punctu'll and ns painstaking ill his work in the wards as he had b.een with his early-morni ng ]pctur s and wi th his other d..utles. And thouJh his hetl:iid' teaching Incked the pnthu~lasm and the glr)\V which pervaded all ,'ih on's instructIOn, the depth anlL the ICllrning of thnt of rrrtndfield.!ones, and theperspicncityanclpreci ion ofthatof Broadbent, It w?-s clear and sound. and was widely appreciated by a consldemble class of students . Duri~g the twenty years that ~ieveki ng had charge of the wards, 1t was the custom for e 10h resident lUedical officer to serve With e~ch phS ici,Hl in turn, And. be invariably looked forward to hIS association with 'ieveking for acquirina a store of that kin.d of. experien 'e, which, he clearly fOl'esa~, would help to equW hIm Jor the successful accomplishment of his f~ture work 111 the profession. IIe knew that under ievekm.g .he would receive he! pfnl in truction in the art of pres~nb1n.g and of actually writing prescriptions- not that thevek~ng had a wide faith in drugs. On the contrary, his e~tenslve knOWledge of them had had the effect of limiting lllS tr~13t t<? a very few. But he took a good deal of trouble in teaclnng Ins hou e-physician when and how he should prescribe those ~ew. The association of that officer with. ieveking also gaveluma u se ful in ightinto the value of blist riner of hot-air baths, of venesection, ofleeches of cuppina nnd of v~;'ious other methods ~f .the sort .whic·h are 'npt to be 'S~mewhat neglected b~ a. phYSICIan '.vho IS ~erel~ "profoun.d," or by one who,. as he SltR by the sldr of Ill'! p'ttlf>nt, has hI S mental rye 1'0 tll1g

upon the viscera as he will be demonstrating them to his students "in another pla~e" wi thin a very short spRee of time. In the thoughts of such a man, indeed, the prosaie subject of treatment must be content with a very secondary place. But ieveking was not of this nature; he was a thoroughly sound practitioner and a well-skilled pathologist. Yes, 'ieveking was an excellent practical clinician, teaching clearly because thinking and seeing clearly. Ilis method was free of all speculation and doubtful theorizing. lie walked and he talked along the beaten tracks of medical science, well knowing that, thus proceeding, he was safe. ..ind in this knowledge his students fully shared. He was a great friend to the students, and he was much interested in the establishment of a club for them in eonnexion with the hospital and it was a great source of constant satisfaction to him to see this club flourishing from year to year and continuing to flourish, as it does at the present day. lie was a man of great energy and per 'everance; and having taken up an idea he made it his business to see it through to a successful issue. Indeed, whatever 11e did, he did it with all his might. 'peaking as a colleague, one can unhesitatingly say that ieveking was loyal and straight. lie pulled no wires. lIe came to committees with an open mind, and determined to do what was right. He was no self-seeker, no time-server. And though his manner was so reserved that he sometimes gavr his colleagues the impression of being cold and somewhat lacking in sympathy, when it had bfen broken through one invariably found in him the kind and warm-beaded gentleman and the ready friend. We are indebted to 'ir "William Broadbent for the following note: bir Edward Sieveking was the last survivor of the original staff of 't. Maris Hospital. On the medieal side Drs. Alderson, Chambers, and l:ibsOll were the physicians; Drs. Handfield-Jones, Markham, and Sieveking assistant physicians, as the physicians to out-patients were then called. This staff was intact when I was appointed resident obstetric officer at the end of 1858, and for many years afterwards. Sir Edward Sieveking (as he soon became), being the junior, had a long spell of out-patient work from 1851 to 1866. The out-patient department was not at that time organized for clinical teaching, and when he was promoted to the wards I w~s myself Out-patient Physician, so that I saw little of him 111 actual clinical work. As a senior colleague I found him, while peculiarly undemonstrative, extremely kind, and I owe much to him. A mark of confidence, which I esteemed as a great honour and on which I look back with satisfaction, was that he asked me tv attend one of his sons who had typhoid fever . The distinguishing note of Sir Ed ward Sieveking's character was thoroughness. This came out alike ill his :personal relations, in his work at the medical school and hospItal, and in his investigation of disease. It made him a powerful influence among students and in the profession, and contributed in an important degree to the success of St. l\Iary's Hospital and School. I shall always regret that absence from London prevented me from taking part in the remarkable demonstration of the respect in which he was held shown by the attend.ance at tJw funeral sprvice on f3a.turrlay,

FOR

FORMING

UR 'I~G DIVISIO~

OF THE

ST. J H J. A UB L NeE BRIGADE.

General Sketch of the Constitution and Work of the Brig ade. 1. The followin o' instruction' have been drawn up with the object of fn.cilitatinO' the formation of new Divisions of the t. John III bulanee Brigado. Irregularly formed

Divisions.

2. In past yoar " owing to a variet.y of causes, Division' 'were frequently form d in an irr gnlar nlanner, and the member, oyon year aher joinin o. n, Division, have been found to bo unacquainted 'with the li tinctive object of the Brigado and tho nature of tho 'work 'which it undertake, and which they as melnbers of it are presulDed to be ready to calTY out. uch Divisions were g n rally formecl by past pupils of first aiel cIn, 'ses of the ~ 'to John Ambulance ociation~ '\rho, it-her Iller ly for the ak of Ineeting tog ther in ordor to koel up the practice of bandao'ing' and 0 forth, or owing to th ir recogni inCf the many a.dya.ntao·es of combined action in pubtic or private ambulance work, ought to k~ep too'othor Ly styling them olv s a Corps or Divi ion, and III 'Ollle cases placed themselvo ' a ' n, body lllor or Ie s undor Brigado control; but, ' 0 far as the real obj cts of the Brigade aro concerned, they in many in tances did little more than hecome a sort of permanent Association first aid class, made no attempt at the sy tematic renderin a of fir t aid on public occasion " and neglected to conlply with the regulations of the Brigado as to the maint nance of efficiency. ' In some cases these bodies appear to have been duly registered at head quarters, after which all touch was lost;. in others, there does not appeal' to have been any sanction or recognition by head quartors, although such titles as "St. John Aml..>uhnce Oorps" and even' t. John Ambulance Brigade" were adopted.

There is reason to believe that scores of such bodie have been formed in tilne past without any reference to head quarters, and many of them haye consIdered that, as they ,,,ere more or less supported by L?c~l Centres 01' Branches of the St. John Ambulance AssoclatlOn, they were therefore recoo'nised units of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, and theJ~ have in all good faith styled ~he?J-selye Corps or Divisions of the Brigade or of the AssocIatIon .. l\Iany of t~ese bodies died out aft.er a. longer or shorLer eXIstence, clnefiy owino' to their not beino' periodically leoked after by a centI~l authority, and mo~'e . frequenq T on accou~lt of the laxity of members in ~ttendIng :practlCes, ~n~l t.hen· gel:reral uDwillingn to submIt to any ~onll of dl clplu~e .. Of the fe,v that survi,ed it may b~ md. that the .mfl;Jonty have ultimately COllle into full umon wI~h the BrIgade, and the remainder are more concerned ·wlth aInbulaIlce transport than with first aid to the public. Distinction between Association and Brigade.

Main work of Association.

3. Before any attempt is made to form a Diyision, it is necessary that the proposed members should clearly understand the distinction between the St. John Ambulance Association and the St. John Ambulance Brigade, and should realize the obligations which they yoluntarily take upon themselves in .j oining th~ la:tter. The main work of the AssoClatlOn, apart from the supply to the public of approved aD?- bulance materi~l. and the furthering of other undertakIngs for. ~he l' .l:ef of ~he injured and sicl~, is. to regulate. th~ provIslOn of lllstruc~lOn in first aid, to InstItute examInatlOns by duly authonzed medical men and to furnish certificates of competency to those persons' who have underg?ne the cO~lrse. of in ~ruction provided and passed the prescrIbed ex amIn.atl.on. So ~ar as first aid is concerned, the work of the AssocmtlOn practlCally embraces only the instru~tion of the indiv~dual, and the manufacture and supply of ambulance materIal. The St ..J ohn Ambulance A, sociation has strictly speaking no personnel, unless that tenn can be applied to secretaries and members of committees of local centres, branches, and detached classes, or to the medical men ~ho act as lecturers or examiners. As soon as the instructlOn and examination of a class are completed, the puPps. no longer have any connection whatever with the Ass~Cla~lOn, unless they become subscribers, and the only cor,nbmatlOns of first aid workers which can be officially recogl1lsed by the Association are the units (Corps or Divisions) of the St John Ambulance Brigade.

Disadvantages 01 first aid work by indiviuuals acting alone.

4. A pel', on who has newly gained his certificate from the St. John Amlmlance As ociation Inay be presumed to have a fair knowledge of first aid work, and may be able to do much good ill his private cH,pa~ity in the way of renderinO' first aiel to tho 'e with wh m he i' thrown into contact inbprivate life, as in the home 01' workshop, and he may have many 0pp0l'tunitie of doing useful work in public. Whatever he may be aole to do, however, will a' a rule be done individually, with the aid of such appliances f\,S he may personally 1e n.b~e to provi Ie, without t}~e "upervision of a medical man, WIthout the H, ' ured a 81 tance of the police, and, in th? ca e of 1. nblic a semLlie pro~ably without any r CO~'llltlOn or a'. 'lstn,nce on the part of the general public. .eL1rt!~ermore,. ullle he <.;hoos.es to ~ttend sub eCluent courses f mstrnctlOll and to Ubtlllt to .further eXLl,ll1inations at the conclu'ion of fSuch course., WIth the object of obtn,ining the medallit n of the A~ ociati?n, he .will have but little inclncement to keep up hI ha tIly g'mned knowled<fe, H,nd in a yery hort time will probably have forgotten a crreat deal of what he haellearnt, without, pm'hap , being aw,U'e of the fact. In S0111e in 't:.Lnce the cOlllmittees of local centre and bntnches of the A. ociation maintain a . upply of . tretcher and other ambuln,nce lnaterial, which ca.n be u 'ed a occasion ari es by 1 er ons who have obtained the fi~'st aid certificH,te, n,lle1 by this means llluch good. \\~ork l' undoubteclly beino' clone: bnt, ;tS above stated, It IS no part of the work of the As ocia.tion to provide for the permanent maintenance of bodie oro·<.tnizecl for the rendering of fir~t aid to the puLlic, and the org<.tnizlttion of the ~ocal cent~'e does not lend it elf to the improyisincr of pa1'tlG of eertI~ cate-holders who ,L1'e rmtlly known to hav~ !~ept up t~hell' ImowledO'e of fir t aiel M , and who Inio'ht be wIlllllO' to l)eriol'lll I public dllty on exceptional occa 'ion ; while, owinn' to the Brigade stretcher drill not beino' adopted, and the first aiclers not beino' accustomed to work too'ether under any bond of discipline, combined a.ction under proper . . control i. as ,t rule out of the question. Again, the employes of many large lllanuiactOl'les and mine throughout the country luwe among th?m el:re organization. consi ting of certificated Inen, uPI hed ·w~th complete first aiel instalbtiolls, and in some ca e' wlth litters and wagons for the removal of injured pel' on ; h~.lt the!r operations are generally restricted to the works .In w.hlCh the men are employed, and there i as a rule n? pel'lodlCal examination in first aid work, at any rate alter the medallion ha been g<tined, f\,nd c n equently no O'uarnntee of continued efficiency. 'J

Objects of Brigade.

The above remarks are not made with the object of disparaging the very useful work w,hic~l ,is every day being done throuO'hout the country by IndIvIduals, 01' by combinations of first aiders ,\'hose work is net:essarily confined to particular establishme~ts, but with the obj ct of emphasizing the fact th~t ill order to be prep,ared, and to be justified in off~nng, to ,ren?er first aId to the general public, a specIal organIzatIOn and a reasonable guarantee of efficiency are ne,cessary. , .' Speaking generally, then, It may be, sal~ that first md work by indiyiduals labours under cert~m dIsadvantages :there is no superYision,or cont~'ol, luedlCal. or oth~rwlse, J?-o organizR.tion for cOHlbmed actIOn on publi,c ,occa IOI~S, or ~n cases of accidents on a large scale, no pro~lsl~n of fir.st md and ambulance material, no regular practlCe In first md ~nd in the removal of injured and sick persons, even SUppOSillg that stretchers and other appliances are available, and above all no guarantee that persons who are ,in possession of first aid certificates have kept up theIr knowledge even the ore tically.

5, In order to obviate these disadvantages, and ~o provide for the efficient ren~ering of first ai~ to the publIc, the St. John Ambulance Bngade was establIshed under the auspices of the Ambulance Departinent of the Order of St, John a committee which also controls the work of the St. J ~hn Ambulance Association, The Brigade was in fact an offshoot of the Association, its distinguishing feature being that it is a voluntary organization for rendering first aid to the public in a systematic manner, and by persons whose efficiency is periodically test.ed; it has now, however, assumed such dimensions, and its orO'anization has become so moulded, as to make it practically a distinct branch, of the Ambulance Department, its only necessaI7 connectIOn with the Association being that none but certIficate holders of the latter can be enrolled in the Brigade. 6. The objects of the Brigade are thus defined in the General Regulations approved for its guidance by the Grand Prior and Chapter of the Order of St. John, 1. To afford holders of first aid certificates from the St. John Ambuh"mce Association opportunities, of meeting together for ambulance and nursing practICe, with the object of combining indiyidual efforts for the public advantage. , 2. To render first aid to the sick and injured on public occasions, with the sanction of the police and

What is meant by Pnblic Duty.

9. Division consi-;ting of lllen only are terllled Ambulance Divi 'ions, "'while those which consist exclusively of women are termed Nursing Divisions. It sboul(l Le obseryed here that men and WOl11en are not allo"wed to belon o' to the same division, uut most of the laro'e corps comp~i e one or more ntH ing cliy~s~O:lS which work in COl!junction with the ambLllance c.hnslOns 'i\~hon on puLhc. duty. In some instances, when the cOllllJlned trength of the Divisions is not sufficient to justifjT tbeir Leing classed as a Corps, independent Alllblliallce and Nl1r~ina Divisions work side by side in the salllC to"wn, and as~:nst each other on occasions of pu bhc duty Ly 11lU tual arrangement between the respective Superintenclel~ts. . .. The duties of aIl1bulance and nnr '1110' chnslOlls ~ 1'e practically the same as regards the perfol'lllance of puillic (luty, but the members of the latter are require(l to have uLtain.ed the nursing certificate of the ~ It. .John Ambulance Assocmtion in adcb tion to the first aid certio(.;[I,te, ancl lllUSt be prep(;~red to undertake the temporary nnrsin u or ?are of injured or sick persons who may necessarily be (letmn~d at ambulance stations before they can be re1ll0ve(~ to h.o~P.lttLls or to their homes. 10l'eover, lIlOSt of the nursmg chvlSlOns, taking advantage of their organization, un(lertake more or less sick nursing among the poor, bnt in this they can o~lly engage in their private capacity, or [\,s llle])l hers of a separate nursing guild or society, and not as mellluers of the Brigade. 10. The members of every division are bound to attend.at least twelve drills (or practices) every year, to pa~s a ~pecJal [l,nnual re-examination in first al(l (ancl in nursmg III t~e case of nursing divj .. ions), to turn out to the uest of the~r ability when duly summoned by their officers to do puLhc duty, or in case of accident at any tillle, and to attend the inspections of the clivi. ion "w hich are annu[\,lly condu?ted by the superior officers of the Brigade or Ly officers specw,lly deputed for the purpose. 11. The following may be men tionecl as instances of the public duty alluded to above : - . . Pu blic gatherings in parks or recreatIOn grounds, pu bhc

ceremonies or processions, fairs, agricultural shows, football matches, horse and cycle races, athletic sports, skating on laro'e ponds l' lakes, rail way accidents, fires; in short, any occa 'ion when large bodies of people are present and there is H, prol H1.Lility of accidents occulTing. For such duties it is seldom n c ssary that the whole division shoulc1 be call d out at th salllC tilll ,and the u.-nal plan is for the officer in charge of th division to letail a, many members as are consic1ere(l necessary for each occasion, selectinO' them in reu'ular turll as far as can Le anang (1.

Advantages of Uniform.

l8. Experience has conclusively proved that the :vearing of a dislinctive uniform greatly facilitates the canymg out of first aiel work in pnLlic, and, indeed, th[l,t it i ab olu te~y necessary in brae towns in orcl I' to ensure to the publIc the fnll' st ad v~ntages that the Brig-aue offers. Not only cloeR the adoption of the regul[l,tion uniform facilitate tho

work of the members of a division by enabling them to recoo'nise each other when on duty in crowded thoroughfare~ or as emblies, but it invariably ensures the hearty assistance and protection of the police, and the no less nece sary recognition and goodwill of the general public. It is e pecially advisable that the meinbers of nul' ing clivi 'ions should wear the Brigade uniform 'when on duty in public, since it affords a guarantee for courteous treatment even in the roughest crowds. It is therefore to be strongly impressed upon newly forming division that they shonld spare no effort to provide them elves with the uniform prescribed for the various ranks. As, however, the expense of providing uniforlll. cannot always be defrayed by those 'who place their time and knowledge at the disposal of the public, and the neces. nry {)utl:i,y cannot always be met by donations or . uLscriptions froll the puhlic at the time of formation of a divi ion, it. is not held to be indispensably necessary that uniform 'hould be adopted: but, when uniform is adopted, it is imperat,ive that it should be of the reO'ulation pattern. This, of COUl' e, does not apply to divisions of police or other bodies of men 'who habitually wear their own distinctive uniform. I t should be observed that the wearing of the Brigade uniform, except on actual Brigade duty, is strictly forLidden by the Regulations; it is not intended to be used as a ga.la dress or for social occasions, but as a distinguishing sign that the person wearing it is on duty for the benefit of the public, or is engaged on drin in preparation for such duty.

John Ambulance Association, which, in nl0st case, furni hed the necessary ontfit, and in other way gave the diyi ion

10 material and moral support. In some few instances this connection of divisions and corps with local centre has ,vorked satisfactorily, and but little inconvenience has resulted from the partial control of the Committee of the Centre which indeed i~ now necessarily confined to the upply of' funds and equIpment. It has, however, been found that this connection frequently hampers the divisions in the matter of selection of oilicer, correspondence with district head quarter and even as regard the reo'ulation of the duties to be performed by the members. is, thereforo, dosirable that new formations should be entirely independent of the local centres of the Association, at any rate as soon as they have been fairly started. The Regulations provide that all contributions towards the wor~\:.ing expenses or n~aterial of divisions IV hich may be furmsbed by the commIttees of local centre ', shall be annually accounted for, but the accounts of all units of the Brigade ar.e to be separately kept. Apart from the inconven18nce.s ~nseparable from anything in the shape of dual control, It IS most desirable that all divi ions should be selfsupporting' where this is the ca. e, the interest of the members in. maintaining the efficiency of their division is greatly Increased, and the attention of the public is more particularly drawn to the work.

General Qualifi. cations for Membership.

the main and absolutely indispensable qualification for membership of the Brigado is the pos es, ion of tho necos 'ary cortificate in first aid, it is. obviou 'ly of illlpo~tance that .nono but person of good charactcr and lutable phY 'lqno should be admitt d ~ and it is fuunel to be clisadvantag ous to have mon of very short or exc:essively tall statnre.

22. ,Vhen a sufficient number of persons po.::;ses ing the necessary certificates desire to form themselves into a ,division, the first step 'rDuld be to aP12ly for permission to do so to the Deputy Commis ioner of the District, if it is known in which district of the Brigade the proposed division would be included, otherwi e to the Chief C;Ollllllissioner, St. John Alnbulance Briaade, St. John's Gate, London, E.G The minimunl ll1..llTItler of Inember ,....ho will be accepted as a division is as a rule ixteen, exclusive of an honorary surgeon, and under no circuIllstances will a division be accepted which consi ts at the outset of less than twelve members. On receipt of the application, if it be considered advisable to allow a divi ion to be formed, the officer applied to will send a copy of the General Regulations of the Brigade, the Standing Orders of the District (if there be any), a copy of the Rules for Divisions, and three blank copies of a Register Sheet, It i, very desirable that the person superintendin o . the formation of the clivi -ion should carefully read the G neral Regulations and the Rules for Diyisions so n" to be n,ble to explain the organization of the Brigade to the proposed nlembers. If there are any points about which he is doubtful, he should not hesItate to apply to the Deputy Commissioner of the District for an explanation,

23. ,Vhen the proposed members have read the regulations and rules, or had theln explained to them, and understand the nature of the duties and obligations they would undertake by becoming members of the Brigade, their names must be entered in the three copies of the Register Sheet, and each proposed member, including the proposed Honorary Surgeon, must sign them, thereby undertaking to conlply with the Rules of the Division, the General Regulations of the Brigade, and the S tanding Orders of the Brigade and District, In this reaister sheet the ranks which it is desired that any membe~s should hold may be shown, ambulance or nursing officers being allowed in ~he proportion of one officer to sixteen privates or nursll1g sisters, sergeants in the proportion of one to sixteen privates, and corporals in the proportion of one to eight privates. I~ should be noted that the general terms" alubulance officer and cc nursing officer" include superintendents, It should be sh own whICh proposed Inem bel's are willing to undertake the duties of h onorary secretary and ins pector of stores.

24. Although it is not nb olutely necessary that thcre should ue an honorary surgeon in n division, no unit of the Brigade can be considered complete without a medicnl officer. Few medical men can undertake to act a the superintendent of a division, n position which entails, as a rule, attendance at drill for two hours on n fixed clay eyery 'week, besides a considerable ::tmount of conesl onclonce and supervision; uut there can be no douut that it is greatly to the advantao'e of a divi ion if it can be cOlllmandecl 1)), tL medical man 'who is able to undcrtake the comhined (hlties of honorary surgeon and superintendent. In onlin:lr,Y ca, 'es the division will be cOlllmandod Ly an ambulance oHice1', and the honorary surgeon will act as hi, techniral (\cl"i,'er and as occasional instructor and lectur~r to the cliyision on medical and surgical f-,ubject,'. A medical officer should be prepared to give instruction in fir t aiel at lea ·t onco a month, to turn out to the best of his auility in Ol'd 'I' to undertake ?neclicCll charge of the men when yer the division is called out 011 public duty, and to conduct annual reexaminations under Brigade r111es. The re pectiyo duties of honorary surgeons and superintendents are de,'cribecl in sufficient detail in the General Regulations, . ichedule II. It is of great importance that the pcrson,' pl'opo,'ecl as ambulance <:1.nd nursing officers should l.1e of o'ood position and superior education, that Lcino' necossary to ensure their having proper inflnoncc oyer thc HlOlll bors under their orders, as well as to give a good standing to the division in the eyes of the pubhc, on whose approval ancl support the well-being of the division will so llluch depend. At the same time it is most important not to propose persons as officers merely on account of their position or influence. An officer should not be a mere fio'lue-head; he should be able and willing to command and porsonally drill those under him, and it is especially neccssary that the officer in chargo of a division should be in a position to set an example to all in respect of regular attendanco at drills. 25. It must be understood that no person can be definitely appointed an ambulance officer, serge8:nt . . or corporal, until he has passed the qualifying exammatlOn, unless the D eputy COIDJnissioner is satisfied that the person

proposed for a I articular po.'t will qualif)! ,vithout dolay. 1 f, in sp cinl ca, os, on the formation of a division, it is considcred nec ssary to appoi11 t p r,'ons who hayo not yet ptLssed the l' quirec1 te.'ts, th 'Y may be appointed on the understanclillg that if th y (10 not (lua,lify within a rca 'onable tillle th )jr appointlllcnts will be cancollocl.

TnstrucLions for conducting tho routine worl- of the

16 divi ion are contained in the General Regulations. Nearly the whole of the routine conespondence with Di trict and Brigade head qUhrters is conuuctec1 oy means of Brigade Forms and if these are thoroughly under tood, and carefully tilled in as dir.e?ted, there :yill as a rule be little occasion for letter \\TltmO'. Supermtendents anI I honor[\,ry secretaries are recommended to make themselves thoroughly acquainted with the list of Brigade .Forms, &c., given in Schedule VII of the General RegnlatlOns. All that. need be said abou t those forms here is, that, frOUl the day the division is fonned, the Brigade Record Sheet, half-yearly Return of Drills, and half-yeady Return of: \~ ariations should be taken into use. The e forms, in tnplicate, are sent to divisions at the sallie time that their fOl'lliation is sanctioned and much trouble will be saved if the names of all mellllJe~'s are at once entered in all three copies of the Record Sheet and half-yearly Return of Drill .

Employment on Duty of Members

of Provincial Corps and Divisions. 1. Many enquiries having been received from Oorps and D iyisioDS in the provincial Di tricts as to whether the members who were disappointed by the abandonmt:nt of the Royal Procession, which was to have tak n place on the 21th June last, will be allowed to do street duty in London on the 25th instant, the following regulations are issu d, sul ject to any instructions that may be received at Brigade Head- l uarters from the ci \"il au thorities. 2. As the line of route to be followed on the 25th in tant will be several miles shorter than the one selected for the 27th June, fewer men can be mploy d on ambulance duty; but in order to prevent disappointment to those who had on the previous occasion arranged to uo duty in London, evpry ORiceI' and other member of the Brigade who was actuall!J accepted b!J hi.' OJ' her Deputy Commissioner to do duty on the 27th June, alld for u-lWln u permit to do dut!J ll'ClS actuall!J issued, will be allowed to do cluty ill London on the 25th iustant.

3. Superintenuents honM without delay ascertain how many of the members of all rauks who were previously accepted are still desirous of doing duty 'uncler the conditions laid down in this Orde~, and they are requirecl to submit complete nominal rolls to thell' Deputy Commissioners, on ot' before the 15th instant (that is, these rolls must ?'each the Deputy Commissioners on that day at latest.) Deputy Commissioners will be good enough to submit these roll , if approved by them, or prof rably a general roll of selected men of the whole District., not later than the 17th instant (that is, the rolls must rea.ch the Chi(if Commissioner's office on that day at latest.) They will report at the same time how many stretchers and litters will be brought. (S e paragraph G.) Only the Officers, men, and nursing sisters then reported will be allowed to do duty. 1000.10.02 .

These rolls must give the actual rank, surname, and proper initials of Christian names of all members accepted for duty. Under no circumstances are any f1'('sl1 names to be submitted, either in addition to those npprov('d in ..Tune last, or as substitutes for at;cepted members who are not able to do duty. 4. Every Officer, man, and nur ing sistel" who i authorised to do duty in London will be provided with a printed permit, bearing his or her name, and no member will be allowed to join a station or otherwise do duty unle s tbi permit j produced. Permits and dinner coupons (sec paragraph 7), will be posted to Superintendents of Corp and Divi ' i ons as soon as possible after receipt of nominal rolls from Deputy Commis~ioner , and the receipt of pel'mits and coupons mu t be acknowledged by telegram addressed to "Ohief, Firstaid, London." 5. There will b e a general parade of all rank~ on th Thames Embankment at Blackfriars Bridge at 9 a.m., on the :25th instant, when permit will be in pectpd, names recorcle 1, find the several parties formed prior to marching oft' to their station. No Officer or other member will be allowed to j,)in a station or otherwise do duty unless he or she attends the general parade. 6. Particular care is to be taken that selected ofilcers, m 11, and nursing si tel's, are provided with the complet regulation unifurm, with black boots. No overcoat except the regulation great-coat will be allowed. Forage caps will be \Yom by all ranks. Sergeants, Oorporals, and privates will wear "w hite gloves and white canvas havresacs. Officers of all ranks can wear the serge fatigu e jacket inst,ead of the frock coat, patrol jacket, or tunic to which they may be entitled, but silver laced trousers will not be worn with the fatigue jacket. Medical Officers can wear the plain black belt and pouch authorised in B.O. 69 instead of the silver embroidered belt. Belts and brown gloves are not to be worn with th frock coat. As it will be imp o'sible to upply first aid material at IIl'all-quarters, surgical havresacs or small surgical hampers fitted with drugs, and an extra supply of sal volatile, should be brought; these and stretchers should be in the proportion of one to five men. All available water bottles should be carried, and the men's pouches properly fitted. Snperintendents of Corps amI Divisions able to supply litters will be good enough to report at once to their Deputy Oommissioners how many they can furnish. The cost of carriage will be refullded. 7. It is not possihle to provide either sleeping accommorlatioll, breakfast or mid-day meal, Lnt a cold dinner will b providpcl by the Orrler of St. ..T ohn for all mem hers who wish to avail themselves of it at 6 p. m. on the 25th instant, A this dinner will be furnished by contractors, and will have to be onlered some days in allvn-nce, it must be noted on the nominal rolls opposite the name of each member whether he or she wishes to ha.ve dinner or not.

Superintendents will be good enou(th to b()a.r in mind tha.t the provision. of .Lhis meal will be a matter ~f some expense and trouble, and applIcatIOn should not be malIc for !'he coupons unless there is a, boni! .fide intenLion to make use of them. _l\le~lbers who propose to arrive in London by early Lrains on Lhe 2J.th ll1stant are recommenlled to arrange in ad vance with the rllllway re~rcshment II partments to have breakfasts re.lay immediately on the arl'lval of their respecLi\e train. is recommenl~ed that e.tt;h ~ll ell~ber shoulLl bring provision for a lllid-day meal, whowh C:lll be carned 11l the havresac by men, or in a hand-bag by nUl'tilng S1 'tors, and eaten while on tluty.

B.D. 77. Volunteers for Service in the Auxiliary Royal Naval Sick Berth Reserve. l. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having expressed their desire to know as soon as practicable to wha.t extent the Brigade may be relied on to provide an auxiliary sick berth reserve for His Majesty's ships of war, hospital ships, and Naval hospitals, &c., at home and abroad, copies of the Regulations for this reserve are herewith issued to every Corps and Division, and the Chief Commissioner requests that the officer in charge of every ambulance nnit of the Brigade will be good enough to assemble the memhers without delay, explain to them the conditions of service, and urge those who are eligible and able to volunteer for the service to send in their names in the manner hereafter prescribed_

2. The reserve is formed for the purpose of supplementing the permanent sick berth staff of the Royal Navy in time oj national emergency and ma1itime war only, and cannot be called out for service at any other time. It is to be clearly understood that enrolment in this reserve does not entail any extra drill or duty of any kind whatever in time of peace, beyond attendance at an annual inspection. It is, of courSEl, understood that all members of the reserve will take advantage of any special opportunity that may be afforded them for instruction in the use of ships' cots and appliances and in the principles of embarking and disembarking men. Moreover, special free courses of instruction will be provided for enrolled men who are in possession of the ordinary nursing certificate of the St. John Ambulance Association, but only those who wish to be rated as senior attendants need necessarily attend those courses. 3. The auxiliary reservist, like his comrade of the Brigade Bearer Oompany, is a volunteer in the strictest sense of the word. He earns no pay in the shape of a capitation grant in time of peace, is not liable C. &

s. -1,250.2.03.

io any legal penalty for not making himself efficient, and even when called out in case of national emergency cannot be compelled to serve unless he voluntarily enters the Royal Navy as a non-continuous service man, when he will necessarily become subject to the conditions of naval discipline. 4. In enrolling himself in the Auxiliary R.N.S.B. Reserve, the Brigade volunteer pledges his word that it is his honest intention to serve in it in case of national emergency. The Naval authorities rely on every reservist responding to the call whenever the necessity may arise. A man would therefore be untrue to himself) disloyal to the Brigade, and wanting in patriotism if he volunteered for this reserve without conscientiously believing that he woald be able to serve at any moment if called upon, or if) having entered, he were to remain in it, when he knew that in case of war circumstances would not allow him to leave his employment. It is especially necessary that men in employment should consult their employers before undertaking this important national duty. 5. It is not necessary that a reservist should be in possession of the Brigade uniform, but the arm badge of the Brigade must be worn when on duty, whether in plain clothes or uniform. A special arm badge indicating that the wearer belongs to the Auxiliary S.B. Reserve of the Royal Navy will be issued by the Admiralty to every man of the reserve, and is to be worn under the same conditions as the Brigade badge, and -only when the latter is worn. 6. Owing to the nature of the Naval Service it is, unfortunately, not practicable to employ officers, sergeants, or corporals of the Brigade as such; if any desire to volunteer, they can only do so as attendants. But if they cannot actually serve in the reserve, they can render valuable assistance by encouraging eligible men to join it, and by explaining the Regulations to any who may not clearly understand them.

Volunteers for Olass A will b~ h~ld liable for service in any class, and volunteers for Olasses Band 0 ll1 elther of the classes following. For example, a man cannot volunteer for service in a man-of-war only. If he elects to serve in Olass A, t~at is for service in a ship of war, he should clearly understand that If called out for service there may at the time be no vacancy for him in that class, and in that case he m.ay be posted to any other class, such as a hospital ship or a land hospItal au road or even at home. On the other hand, a man who elects to serve, s~y in <?las~ D, that is in la.nd or floating hospitals at home, ?annot agall1st hIS ~Ill be employed m any other class, as, for instance, In a man-of-war, or ll1 a hospItal or hospital ship abroad. It is jmportan~ that men should clearly understand this paragraph before volunteermg, so that there may be no disappointment if, on the outbreak of war, they cannot conveniently be employed in the class for which they elected on enrolment. For Olasses A and B, volunteers who are accustomed to the sea will be first for selection. They need not necessarily have served as sailors but must have had experience of life at sea. l\len selected for servic~ at coast ambulance stations must be accustomed to the use of boats. 8. T?ere will ?e two grad es (ratings) of reserve attendants, termed respectIvely J umor and 'enior Auxiliary Royal aval Sick Berth A ttendants, the short title being Junior and Senior Reserve Attendants. All volunteers will join as junior reserve attendants and if not already in possession of the nursin cr certificate of the St. 'John' Ambulance A sociation, must undertake o~ enrolment to obtain that certificate at the earliest opportunity . . Enrolled ~en who successfully pass through the special advanced first aId and nursIng ?lass,. and, in addition, either the hospital or man-ofwar course clescn bed In the Regulations will be graded as senior reserve atten dants. ~,

.9. ,Vhen called out for active service, reserve sick berth attendants be rated with (not inferior or junior to) the Royal Naval sick berth attendants of corresponding grade and length of service. WIll

7. On enrolment in the reserve, volunteers may elect to serve in any -of the following classes ;Olass A.-In ships of war. Olass B.-In hospital ships and non.fight.ing auxiliary ships temporarily attached for war. Class O.-In hospitals, medical establishments, or harbour ships of the Royal Navy, and coast ambulance stations abroad. Olass D.-In hospitals, medical establishments, or harbour ships of the Royal Navy, and coast ambulance stations at home. [It will be allowable for men who reside at tho seaport towns to be hereafter selected as coast ambulance stations to volunteer for !'lervice at such st.ations only.]

10. The rates of pay are considerably higher than those granted to

~he. Royal Naval attendants, being 3s. 3d. a day for senior and 3s. for JLr~lOr attel1~ants of.all classes, ashore or afloat.

Men employed on a sillp of war lD war-tIme, moreover, will receive an additional Is. a day, and men of all classes (A, B, 0, and D) will receive an extra 6d. a day after serving six months. Men serving afloat when called out will be on the same footing as the. men of the Royal r avy as regards free victuals and bedding. l~atlOns, quarters) fuel and lights are found for men who serve when c~lle~ out, in h?spiLals and other medical establishm ents, or coU:pensatIOn 18 granted If they have necessarily to board out.

4 11. As regards clothing, no special kit is required in time of peace. 'When called out for service, a complete free kit is provided for all men who serve in classes A and B (in men of war, hospital ships, and auxiliary ships), but the reservist is advised to provide his own waterproof and a greatcoat. Men of classes C and D, serving in home and foreign hospitals or establishments, can wear brigade uniform or plain clothes for which an allowance of £2 lOs. will be made, or they can elect to b~ provided with a free kit. 12. The regulations as to sick pay, allotments to relatives and others, pensions for injuries on service, widow's pensions, and compassionate allowance for children, are the same as for other men of the Royal Navy 13. On the terminati0n of service, unless discharged for misconduct or at own request, a gratuity of £5 will be given, and also any war gratuity to which men of similar rank may be entitled. 14. For attending the annual inspection, which will be held by a Naval m ed ical officer, the reservist will r eceive 3s., and a free pass to and fro jf he lives over two mil es from the place of inspection, subject to his being found efficient. 15. The arrangements for advanced classes in first aid and nursin g, and the rates of pay, &c., for m en who wish to go throu gh a hospital or a man-of-war course, are fully d escribed in the Rrserve R egulations, and being purely voluntary courses need not be explained h ere. 16. The coast ambulance service alluded to in the R egulations will only be established at a few selected towns on the coast, and special regulations will be issued hereafter for the formation and guidance of the d etachments which it is proposed to organize at the selected points 17. When bringing this matter to the notice of the m embers of their Corps and Divisions on parade, it will be sufficient if Superintendents read the whole of this Brigade Order, and paragraphs 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the Auxiliary R.N.S.B. Reserve Regulations, which give the qualifications of volunteers and the essential conditions of service. 18. Superintendents will be good enough to give every facilit~ to such of their members as may wish to examine the Reserve Regul~tlOns and this Brigade Order, and if any doubt arises as to the meamng of any paragrapb, the Cbief Commissioner will be glad if Superintendents will communicate direct with him.

This should be Hotetl in copies of the General Regulations.

Annual Inspections.

Speciai attention is callecl to General Regulations, para. 24, in which it is distinctly laid down that the in pection can only be beltl by th Chief Oommi sioner, the Deputy-Commissioner of the District, or an Officer of the Bl'igatle slH'cially appointed for the purpose. 'o-called ins!Jections by military nfiic 'rs and others who are not members of the Brigade are strictly fOI biddt' ll. The matters to which Rpcci :d attention is to he paid at the annual inspection are cl 'arly indi cated in the paragraph referred to. This constitutes tho inspection propel', and in order that it may be carried out s('archingly and without hilldnwce of any kind, it should be conducted, as far as po~sible, as a strictly official p::trade, out of ight and hearing of spectators, and m\lst not be looked upon as a pll blic show. This restriction does not refer to the march past, the pcrlorm::tnce of the stretc h r drill by the wholo Corps or Division, or ::tny geneml exhibition of first aill practice which may be gi ven. It should be borne in mind that the efficiency of membpl's of alJ ranks in first aiel is tested and vouched for by the medic::tl office r who conducts th e annual 1'e- xaminatiol1, and if there is an exhibition of first aid work at an official inspoction, the inspecting officer sho uld invariably can upon the sen ior medical officer on parac1t3 to supervise the work, assisted by any junior medical officers who may also be on parade.

B.O. 81. Ambulance Reviews and Public Demonstrations. Enquiries have been made. by . ~fficc~s ill ?harge of, Corps and Divisions wh ether they arc Ju stlfieu III takllJg part m so-called Amhulance H,eviews and Public Demonst rations, unconn ected with the public performance of ambulance duty, to wh!ch th ey have been invited, and which may have been set on \ foot . w~thout thr kl~ow~erlge or ascertained approval of the Deputy-901l11111SSI0nel' of Lhe DI.Stl?Ct, It is part of the Instructiolls gwen to. Deputy-Oom.mlsslOuers on appointment that no reviews o~ other publIc demollstl'~tl?nS are to held without sanction from Bl'lgade head-quarters, and It IS clearly l:nd down in Brio'ade General ReO'ulatiol1s, para. 34, that "no Oorps or Divi ion ancl no individual me~llber of the Brigaue, as such, shall take part in any public procession ,or other demonst:'ation (unless actually doinO' ambulance duty) WIthout the sanctIOn of the DeputyCom~issioner of the District," But, apart from these rules, it appears to he adv,is~hle to pOil~t out that it is and al ways has been , a markerl characterIstIC of the BrIgade, and one' wbich is absolutely necessary for its success, that it exists solely for the purpose of giving first ai(~ to the public: .it knows ,no all social and reliO'ious dIfferences, and, whIle respectIng Politics , iO'nores 0 0 the private views of all its members on matters, and persons o.fbi' pu Ie interest avoids identifyinO' itself witb any partICular party or SIde. \Vhe~ arrangements ha~e been made or promises given to hold or attend a demonstration, however inadvisable the latter may be from the point of view of the strict neutrality of the Briga~e, it would in many. cases be impossible for hearl-quarters to forbId the attendance of members, as such, without incllrring a suspicion of partiality, or at any rate causinO' local incon venience and possibly misunderstanding or friction. O~1 t.he other band the Brigade in general might easily be credited wit,h partisanship, and suffer consequence, owing to an error in jlJdgment on the part of a small spction of its mem bers. In future, therefore, no preliminary arral!gements are t? be made for orO'anizinO' or taking part in a demonstration of any kInd whatever o l::> without first obtaining permission from Brigade head-quarters t hroug h the Deputy Commissioner of the District.

Practice of First Aid at Ordinary Drills. Attention is called to para. 22, General Regulations, which provides that at each drill (or practice, in the case of N ursillg Divisions) there shall be some practical exercise in first aid . It is to be borne in mind that the most important duty o,f tl:e Brigade is to render first aid; instruction and frequent practICe ,m that art are therefore more essential than military or stretcher dnll, which are of value chiefly as inculcating habits of discipline, an.cl contr~buting to the efficient performance of first aid (luties on publIc '11 ' occasIOns. There is reason to believe that credit, for having attended a dn .~s frequently given in cases where there has been no practice of first at , or none worthy of the name, and a very general excuse for the omission is that the medical officer was unable to attend.

B.O. 86. Reserve List.

Duties and Positions of menlbers at Drills.

Mem bel's of the Brigade are placed on the Reserve List not as a reward or honorary position, but in order to enable them to keep up their kno\rlcdge of fir·t aid and drill so that they may be fit to resume active membership if they wish. Th eil' duties and positions at drills are therefore such as will promote the objects nameu abo\'e. Ex-Officers of all ranks on the Hcserve List must of course fall in in the supernumerary rank on parade, being sUlJernumeraries. Durin u drill they will as supernumeraries Le able to watch the work, and they should be encouraged by the senior officer present to fall in in the ranks for a time, and thus keep their han<1s in. The sfmior officer should also encourage them to "take the drill" in his presence for a time. 'When the first aid part of the drill takes place, officers on the reserve list must take active part in the exercises or practices if they wish to have credit for attendance at the dl ill. All other ex-members on the Reserve List sh ould fall in in the ranks t sergeants included, but the latter and corporals may take the drill by order of the senior officer present. It is to be borne in mind that no person on the Reserve List, whatever his rank may hs,ve been, has any executive authority unless allowed to act for a time as officer, sergeant, or corporal, by and in the presence of an officer on the active list.

Divisional Committees. 'Vith reference to the rule that the affairs of a Dirision shall be managed by a Oommittee consis~ing of certain specified members, it is to be understood that such affairs do not ic.clude any of the matters for which the Superintendent and others are responsible, and which are enumerated generally as the "Dllties of Officers and others" in General R egulations, Schedul e II. The Oommittee is intended to voice the opinion and wishes of members of all ranks, and especially on matters which are not provid ed for in t,h e Regulation, snch as m eans of raising fnnds, anel purpo ses to which they are to be applied. As r egards the nomination of officers and others, the Superintendent, while being personally responsibl e for putting forward the nam es of qualified persons only, will natllrally ascertain the opinion of the Uommittee as to the acceptability of the nominees, and, if he cannot agree with their views on this or any other subject, he should refer the matter to th e D eputy-Oommissioner of the District for decision. The Superintendent alone is aULhorized to summon a meeting of the Oommittee. At meetings of the Oommittee the senior member present will preside. If, after authorizing a meeting of the Oommittee, the SUjJerintendent is unable to attend, as he invariably should do, either he will postpo.ne the meeting, or, if he permits it to be held, he must be furnished WIth a report of the proceedings. These instructions apply equally to the Oommittee of a Oorps.

Auxiliary Royal Naval Sick Berth Reserve.

From the frequent enquiries which are received at Bligaue anu Di ,trict IIea,d-qnartel's regal'l!ing the lick Berth Reserve, it appears tha.t many men of the Briga.de who are de-irolls of joining it have not had the condition.' of service fnllr hill before them. In many cases they have been gi\'pn to un(ler. tanel that they cannot join the Re "erve unless they undertake to attend a ten day' COllI'S of in truction at a naval ho'pital, all(1 in event! quartel" the iuea appears to prevail that no more volunteers are wautecl. The Chief Commis ioner dl"ires again to draw the attention of Offi~er in charge of C rp., alHl Divi..,ioll' to Brigade Oruel' 77 and the

Admircl-Ity H.egulaLion which are i sHecI \yith it, and reque ts that they will be go d en:)ugh to brinLY the condition of sen'ice to the notice of their men anu let it b fnlly llnd"'r'too 1 that there i pra.ctically no limit to the llumber who C,Ul be enrolle,l for service in time of nayal war. It should be clearly explained to all men of the Brigade who have not yet joinell the l~esen'e tllat any rm.n who j ~ phY::iically fit, and is either in pos eS'ion of a llllr:ling cerGificate, or ullllel'take to get one at the ell-diest oppurtnnity, C til \'ol'lllt p.r f t' ~ili impJrtlllt el'vice. The only duty required of enrolleu ll1p.n is to atten(l at an annual in pection which will be held by the In pecting Medical Officer of tbe Resen'e at their own hea ' l(luar~er ~ . Atten (lance at an allvancecl COUl"e of lectures (provided at the expense of the Admiralty) i quite optional, and i only required in the case of men who wish to be enrolled in la ses A. and B. of the R serve, i.e., for service in men-of-war or other ship. Men who do not wi. h to serve in tho e cla. es, 1 ut prefer to be employed in time of war in land and floating hospita.ls (i.e., in Olas e . or D.), are not requ~re'l to go throngh any pecial course of instruction whatever artier ob~alning the nursing certificate.

8. In order to obtain the certificate in First Aid, a course of instruction consisting of not less than 5 lectures by a .qualified medical practitioner ml~st be attended, ancl fin exa.mJnatlOn ill:ust be passed at the concluslOn of the course. Any regls~ered medIcal practitioner can give the lectures~ but .they must be In accordance with the Syllabus of InstructlOn Issued by the St. John Ambulance Association. There is usually an interval of a week between consecutive lectures, but the interval may be reduced or extended to meet the exigencies of exceptional elasses, such as those for the Mercantile Marine, in which service the lllen may only remain a limited time in p~rt, or, in the case of ~ectures O'iven at sea may be unable to COll1])lete the course dUrIng the ( 5 ' same voyage. The examiner must be a meel'lOa1 man, other than the lecturer, and must be duly appointed for the purpose by the Central Executive Committee of the St. John Ambulance Association. Full instructions as to the course of lectures and the examination can be obtained on application to the Chief Secretary, St. John Ambulance Association, St. John's Gate, Clerkenwell, London.

9. The smallest units of the Brigade, termed Divisions, consist of 16 members and upwards. Any num~er of Divisions may be associated together to form a Corps, prOVIded that the combmed strength, in the case of organizations on land, is not less than 72 men. lt is suggested that in the case of a Shipping Company the whole of its employes who hold the First Aid Cert~ficate and volunteer to join the Brigade should fonn a Corps, WhlOh should be called after the title of the Company (e.g. cc The .Black ~tar Line Corps, St. John Ambulance Brigade.") T~is, IS ~)rovlded for in the General Regulations, para. 19, where It IS Imd clown that" The employes of any Public Company may be enrolle~ as a Corps or Division bearing the name of such Company, prOVIded they conform to the Regulations of the Brigade. as I:e.gard~ efficient service and wear the Brigade badge OD theIr l~m£orm. If this suggestion be adopted, the members of the Bngade on each ship of the Company, supposing that they numb~red at least a dozen men or so, could form a Division, which mIght be called after the name of the ship. If there were only .3. ~r 4 ambulance men in a ship they could not be called a DlvlslOn, and the term Detachment would be more suitable. As the personnel of the ship would no doubt be constantly changi?g, men being transferred from one vessel to another, the composltlO~. of the Division or Detachment would not be permanent, but if

the I:ecords of their ambulance dnties (such as lectures and practlOes attended) were forwarded to the Officer or Official permanently in ch~rge of the Corps at the end of each voyage, as ~uggested Lelow In pal'n,grn,ph 12, general supervision of the ~ntll'e ambulance personnel of the Company's Corps could be msured.

10. The Corps and Divisions of the Brigade on land are bound to adop~ the Code of Rules issued from Head-quarters (General Regulatl~ns, '?l~e~lule IV), Ll~t these are manifestly inapplicable to ~ea-golllg Dlvl lOns.. pecw.l rules may be (ll'awn up for the ~u~ebr:ce a~l(l control or n~e~Lers of: ~he Uorps or Divisions of a I:)hlppmg COl~lpany, but It l~ reqlll~lte tha~ they be in general accordance WIth the RegulatIOns of the Brwade and submitted to and sanctioned by the Chief Uomlllissio~ler of the Brio-ade before adoption. b It \~ill readily be understood that an organization of the nUlllencil.l strength and extent of the Brigade, which consists of over 12,000 l1101nbers fonned in s me 350 independent units scattered q:ll'oughout the niLed ringdolll and Colonies, cannot be supervIsed so as Lo en ure the individual efficiency of its members, and qlCir ability to aut in cOlllbination under propel' contr~l ~n publIc occasions, without a system of administration an~ dISCIplIne of an alulOst lllilitary character. In the case of 0~'d1l1ary Uorps and Divi::;ions a strict SystClll of discipline and ~h~ect control frOln Brigade IIead-quarters are enforced, but It IS neces ary: to 'tate her? that it i fully recognised (as hown by the followlllO' extract from the (Explanatory In tructions" abov,e .referred t~) that " in the case of orp and Divisions conslstmg exelnslyely of the 111emL rs of any di tinct service, such as th? poli?e, railway compani ',po Lal service, 01' municipal 01' .0Lher. iire Lng-ades, the control of the St. John Ambulance B:'lgade IS necessarily restricted to matLers which do not inLerfere WIth the esta,Llished cli .. ciplille of the force to which the members belong, such ~s lhe maintenance of the regulation stretcher drill, regul~r p~'acLlce, and annual re-examination and in pection . the orgamzatIOn of such divisions will, however, be practically the sallle as that f other clivisiCJns of the Brio'ade b , and the otlicers , se.l'ge~nts, a~l~l corporals, ~C., whose names nre duly put forward WIll, If qualIfied l~ndel' the rul s of the Brigade, be appointed in the manner deSCrIbed below." These provi ions of course equally apply. to the Corps and Di visions that lllay be formed by any Shlppmg Company.

11. The ranks and titles allowed in Corps and Divisions of the Brigade are those of Honorary Surgeon, Superintendent (in the ease of Corps and large Divisions), 1st, 2nd! 3rd, and 4th Ambulance Officers, Sergeants, Corporals and Pnvates, and, as it is absolutely necessary to have unifonnity in the designaGion of the several ranks, only the above titles are offieially recognised in making' appointments. In the ease of Marine Divisions, some of these tItles would no doubt seem to be unsuitable for use on board ship, and it is suggested that the following designations might advantageously be adopted if the official Brigade titles are considered objectionable for use afl.oat:Ambulance Officer (= Ambulance Officer.) Ambulance Assistant (= Sergeant or Corporal.) Ambulance l\Ian (= Private). It is not usual to appoint an ambulance" Officer)) to fewer than 16 men, smaller bodies being eOillmanded by Sergoants or Corporals. Persons nominated for the rank of « Officer)) in the Brigade can only be appointed by the Chief Commissioner.

12. The following suggestions are made with the objoct of ensuring proper control of the ambulance service in ships. 1. lJledical Office?'. It will be of inestimable advantage if the medical officer of a ship will act as honorary surgeon to the Division 01' Detachment on board, giving the members lectures and supervising the practice of first aid at their drills. During long voyages, classes might also be held, under St.,J ohn Ambulance AssociatIOn, rules, for the benefit of members of the crew and others who wished to obtain the First Aid Certificate with or without the object of joining the Brigade. Passengers admitted to the classes would of course pay the usual fees. MedicfLl officers of the mercfLntile marine who sec their way to taking penuanent interest in ambulance work on board ship, and undertake to fulfil the duties of the position, can be appoin~ed Honorary Surgeons of the Brigade. . MedlCal men who have lectured gratuitously to a certam number of classes, under Association rules, are made Honorary Life Members of the St. ,John Ambulance Association. Moreover, after continued and conspicuous services for a period of years, they are eligible for a distinction (with a decoration) from H.M. the King, on the recommendation of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, Grand Prior, and the Chapter of the Order of St. J Oh11.
