The editor of this magazine disclosed the extravagant sum - five shillings and ten pence - demanded by the postal authorities as compensation for bringing a single copy to the United States, and he also wrote to General Latham, the American consul to Victoria , representing the discomfort and hardship of the question. 34; The fault, I believe, lies not with the colonial authorities, but with the Imperial Post Office Department, or lies between the two countries (the United States and Great Britain) in not extending parcel post rates with the United States to the British colonies or possessions in this part of the world.
OBITUARY
The University Council has granted Professor Halford permission to practice in private practice on certain conditions, namely that it must only be done in consultation with other members of the profession and that it is limited to the hours when he is not engaged. in his duties at the Medical School. He had a singularly retentive memory, and seemed to possess a kind of intuitive power of bringing out the most salient points of the subject upon which he happened to treat. He was a native of Dublin and educated in that city, taking his degrees of Master of Arts and Bachelor of Medicine at Trinity College in 1836, having been admitted a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England two years previously.
In the winter of 1847-8 he was appointed by ; Government one of the doctors to the temporary Fever. His lectures at the Mechanics' Institute, and other similar posts, were always sources of great attraction, and he was especially active in the instigation of scientific conversation—a means of social cohesion in far greater demand in the earlier days of the colony than recently. He was intimately associated with the Royal Society in its first beginnings as the Philosophical Institute and Philosophical Society, and as a member of the Burke and Wills Exploration Committee of the Royal Society he made himself prominently useful.
In 1858, when it was first decided to increase the number of honorary medical staff at the Melbourne Hospital, Dr. Fades one of the successful candidates for the office of physician, a position to which he was re-elected at the General Hospital. Election preceding, but which he shortly afterwards • resigned by accepting the appointment of Health Officer in the town, which he held at his death. NI acadam were the first appointed lecturers of the University Medical School, and his death causes a vacancy in the Chair of Materia Jledica.
Eades was one of the official visitors to the Lunatic Asylums, a position he held for the past eleven years, and he was also assistant surgeon to the Metropolitan Company of Artillery; indeed, he was one of the early advocates of the voluntary organization, and at the first public meeting promoting this movement he proposed the first resolution affirming its desirability. He was a member of the Medical Board of Victoria, and one of the Examiners in Midwifery, under the special regulations of the University.

They found extensive bleeding in the abdominal cavity from a rupture of one of the vessels of the liver, through ulceration, where the liver itself was severely cirrhotic. 313 his work is intended as a reference book for the student or practitioner, since he himself is only at the stage immediately succeeding his pupil, and has studied the diseases of which he writes exclusively among one class of the population, in one locality . To honor our nationality, a certain stand should be taken against the appearance of mere CVs of technical knowledge, which never burden the respectable part of the French or German press.
Nayler, the author of the treatise before us, but from what we gather in the pages it appears that his particular study of diseases of the skin has been as clinical assistant to the senior surgeon at the hospital at Blackfriars-bridge. This is indeed the key note of the whole performance – the string harped on from dedication to close – like children lost in the bush, our "starting point" is always where we find our Ives at the end of the chapter. Startin has not only been associated with the Skin Hospital for many years, indeed from its origin, but also that he has a very large and very varied experience with skin disease in private practice among all kinds of men and has thereby laid a fund of information that may be more extensive than the lot of any practitioner, living or dead: his writings are preserved, he is a constant contributor to the medical journals, his prescriptions and formula; has been before the profession these twenty-six years in the published Pharmacopoeia of the Hospital.
We can always use the "patented double million magnifying gas microscopes with extra power" from the extensive experience of Startin, Wilson, Hunt, Cazenave and others. Seriously, there is no doubt that this current mode of special writing by young practitioners about their practice among one class alone – the pauper side of big cities – is causing great mischief among that class of practitioners (an unfortunately large class) who refer to books as their guide in the treatment of disease, rather than making their own judgments about the case before them on the basis of its own characteristics. A case of skin disease, such as leprosy, psoriasis, eczema, crythema nodosum, in a blowsy a, id full-fed country girl, who has breathed the highly oxygenated air of the woods and fields, requires the antipodes of treatment from a similar case in a born and raised in the Ceozonized atm ,s-.
