NOTES FROM ALDERSHOr.-The first meeting of the Winter Session, 1904-05,
of the Aldershot Military Medical Society took place in the Library of the Oambridge
Hospital, on November 4,1904. Surgeon-General G. MacNamara, M.D., O.B., O.M.G.,
in the chair. A paper was read by Lieutenant-Oolonel W. Pike, D.S.O., on "Riders'
Sprain" and a case shown, and discussion followed.
Major Scanlan showed a case of commencing aneurism of the aorta and innominate
vessels.
Oaptain Thorn read a paper on " Suppurative Meningitis, followed by Operation."
Lieutenant Turner showed a case of varicose condition of the veins of the abdomen
and chest, in a man who had been convalescent for some months from enteric fever
followed by phlebitis; and discnssion followed as to the probable canse.
Lieutenant Turner also read a paper on "Two Oases of Perforating Gastric Ulcer
and Operation."
Major J. S. Edye read a paper on "120 Oases of Enteric Fever; and four different
Methods of Treatment carried out; with the results obtained in each series of cases."
A new Honorary Secretary was elected; Lieutenant-Oolonel W. Pike, D.S.O., being
under orders for Madras, handed over the .. reins of government" to Major Powell,
and received universal thanks for his past administration of the Society.
NOTES FROM BANGALORE.-Lieutenant-Oolonel II. Forman writes of the Mess:
"The R.A.M.O. Mess, Bangalore, was founded by the late Surgeon-General Inkson, in
1892, when he was Principal Medical Officer here, and after him was nursed by the late
Oolonel Gage, who succeeded him as Principal Medical Officer. A large portrait of each
of these officers is hung in the ante-room. Later on, about 1894, the present Deputy
D.G. Surgeon-General Keogh did much to place it on a sound financial basis-a position which, since then, it has never lost. In the redistribution the office of Principal
Medical Officer, Bangalore, became an Indian Medical Staff billet, which was somewhat unfortunate, for it involved the Officer Oommanding Station Hospital becoming
the head of the Mess, to the exclusion of the Principal Medical Officer, who, of necessity, became an Honorary Member. Socially at first this led to confusion, but that was
only temporary, and it is now clearly understood that the Principal Medical Officer
stands very much in the same relationship to the Mess as the General Officer Oommanding does to any regimental Mess.
"A photograph of the Mess is appended. Up till a few months ago we had two
quarters for officers in the building, we have now four. Thanks to the sound finance of
the Mess, we are now enabled to carry out these extensive improvements on the following agreement with the landlord: The rent was fixed at 140 rupees per month, but we
advanced the landlord 2,000 rupees, on an agreement, first, that we should have a five
years' lease, terminable on our side at six months' notice, but not on his; and secondly,
that he should pay us back the advance, at the rate of 40 rupees per month, i.e., we are
to occupy the building for four years and two months, at the rent of 100 rupees per
month. We get a Government allowance of 80 rupees, and the four quarters are let
to the junior officers, furnished, at 31 rupees per month each; thus, for the next four
years we will have an income monthly of 204 rupees, and a rent of 100 rnpees. This
is not a bad investment for our 2,000 rupees, and the young officers are better and
more cheaply housed than they would be otherwise.

"The 'i\Iess is well furnished throughout, a.nd we bave quite n [cspocta.ble show of

Maymyo we a.pplied for and got their plate, &0., on the understa.ndiug tha.t we should

power availa.ble ia limited, most of it being utilised for the Koh\!' Gold Fields, hut
knowing this we m llode earlyapplica.tion and hllove the promise LlLaL we shall get the
!ight. It ill expected that it; will be in full working order about June, 1905; Lhe plant
H a lready lm route and the installation will cost 500 rupees.
"'rhe nnl\,llcia.l position of the Mes!! is excellent. The In.st qua.rter's ualance sheet
flhows:-Assets 5,755 rupees, lia.bilities 1,500 rupees. Tho principal item in tho assets
is the furniture n.nd gn.rden, which we put down n.t 3,055 rupees. '.rhis, as a matter of
fact, is ridiculously low; at a rough e&timate I should say that even fir forced sale would
realise at least 6.()(X) rupees, probably eonsiderElrbly more. '1'be Jinbility of 1,500 rupees,
is for debentures subscribed for by Juuior Officers. Siuce the ba.lance ,vas struck
(September 25),500 rupees h(we beon redeemed.
" The cooking is very good, the cook baving heen tra.ined by Lieutenant-Oolonel
Yourdi when he wa.s quart.ered here, and he is a well-known adept in such matters.
"Tho iuolusivo oost of messing is 2 rupees per day, no extra.s are cha.rged for except
ice, !\ond very little of that is required in Banglllorc. Even o,t this low rate the profit
on messing for the last quarter was 373 rupees_ This is undoubtedly a resul~ of the
close persono,l supervision exercised over 0,11 expenditure by the Honora.ry Seoretary,
Oa.pta.in W. A. W&rd, a.nd it shows how necessary such supervision is, a.nd . how
profita.ble it is also. The wines we get out in wood a.nd bottle in the Mess. ThiS we

The wines a.re sold a.t 10 per cent. on cost price. The profit on wines including cigl\Cs

.. Allowing a few rupees for ~Iess contingencies, llewspaper:; and the like, it will be
seen from the u,bovc that tho JUllior Officers can live hore in this Mess {Ol' about 100
rupeep, a montb, and live well too; all other expenses a.re voluntary.
"The Corps has no reason Lo feel asha.med of its Mess in Banga.lore; on the
contra.ry, for its sizo I doubt if thoro is another Mess in India., regimenta.l 01' otherwise,
that ca.n equal it; certainly there is uot ODe that ca.n bea.t it,"

days' ma.rch. A new departure in the organisa.tion of medical units on son'ice was
int.roduced by the P."1I.Q. by ordering the Section to ha splil; up, a.nd one half section
to be leU at Ohumbi, in charge of Capta.in ~"'ry, I.M.S., and one .Assistant Surgeon. It
wa.s rlLther a difficult matter to divide up a scction of a. field hospital, lltS very few of
the drugs or articles of equipment a.re duplicated, but lortunat.ely the number of sick
at Chumbi was sma.ll, and Box G of reserve medicines belped to fill up ihe gaps,
Gya.ntso has quite a large garrison, snd the demolition of the famous Jong is being
rapidly carried out. Troops are confiDcd more or less to the camp perimeter, and the
big Gompa behind tho Jong is only visited under escort. A splendid hockey ground
has been prepared by the 23rd Pioneers, a.nd everyone is very keen, two or three games
taking pla.ce every afternoon. An clevation of 12,000 feet is not au ideal beight for '-ery
violeut exercise, but one soon gets accustomed to it, Sond the PIIoOO is quite as hot as in
the plains of India.. Gya.ntse lies in a broad valley, with many sma.ller valleys running
into it from every side. It is well known that there is excellent shooting to be ha.d
in these "alleys, but unforturia.tely they lie outside the two mile limit, beyond whioh
no ono is allowed to go, so we have to content ourseh'es with shooting hares, of which
thoro 0.1'0 a. lot along the stony bases of the hills, pigeon, and a.n oocasiona.l teal or
Brllohminy duck on the river.

The question· of ambulance mules is just now a burning one. As mules are the
only sort of ambulance transport suitable to the country, each section by regulations
receives twenty-four mules, these mules to be under the Medical Officer, and only to
be used for other purposes in exceptional cases, and then ouly by order of the General
Officer Commanding. On this Expedition, bowever, the Supply and Transport Corps
bave claimed the right to use hospital mules for transport purposes, with most disastrous results. Now the mules have been taken entirely a,vay from the Medical
Officer and given to the Supply and Transport Officer to use as he pleases, the Medical
Officer having to requisition mules £01' ambulance work from the Supply and Transport
Officer, only to be told that none are available. The result of this policy has been not
only a great amount of extra worry and correspondence to the Medical Officer, but in
many cases the sick have suffered.·
The Lhassa Column left there on their return march on 23rd.
Captain Cooke Young, I.M.S., who was so severely wounded by a fanatical Lama
in the camp at Lhassa, arrived at Gyantse on 12th on his way to India. He is almost
well again.
Aj22 British Field Hospital. left Gyantse on 16th for the base, and will reach
Siliguri on October 8th, going on to Calcutta to demobilise. Severe snowstorms interfered with sport on the march to Chumbi, but Captain Stevenson, RA.1\'LC., secured a
good burhel and several gazelle.

Oricket Notes.
The Cricket Season is now over, and the members of the team in looking back have
at any rate one performance to congratulate themselves on, viz., reaching the semi-final
round for the Governor's Cup. It is quite a creditable performance for a small and
scattered detachment as ours is in this island. During the season 15 Corps matches
were played, 6 were won, 7 lost, and 2 drawn. Captain Bostock heads the batting
list with an average of 49, and Private Hawes the bowling with an average of 10'5
runs per wicket.

addressed to each recipient kindly words of congratulation.
A musical play by Lieutenant Lewis, consisting of fragments of tho'se most recently
popnlar, was presented in the theatre on October 26,27,28, and November 11. It was
much appreciated by both patients and staff, and Mr. Lewis and the ladies and gentlemen who so kindly assisted are to be congratulated on the excellence of the performance.
NOTES FROM SIERRA LEONE.-Major F. Smith writes: "Oaptain Forrest, ou
arrival from home, has been posted to the Station Hospital, Tower Hill, for duty.
"Lieutenant SeccOl;nbe abandoned the contemplated shooting trip and has gone
home, tour expired.
"Our popular Senior Medical Officer, Lieutenant-Oolonel Bartlett, has been lying
up for a week or two ov/ing to an accident while out shooting. Just as he was bringing
down the bush-fowl in great style, he got staked in the knee by one of the sharply
pointed stumps which the native husbandman leaves behind him when he clears tbe
bush for rice-planting. Young trees are cut through on the slant, a foot or two off the
ground-an aggressive-looking forest of short spears remains. It was the merest shave
that the knee-joint was not penetrated. We are glad to see him back to duty not
much worse for the accident.
"Our new Governor, Mr. Leslie Probyn, U.M.G., has arrived and is displaying great
energy. After the ceremonial function of 'swearing in' and an inaugural grand' At
Home' at Government House, where a most picturesque crowd of native chiefs and
others assembled on the lawn, His Excellency started on a tour among the native
tribes of the Hinterland, and has not yet returned.
"The military hospital on Kortright Hill has ceased to be used as such. The building is being conyerted into a quarter for regimental officers. The sick from Kortright
are to come down to the Station Hospital, Mount Aureol, for treatment.
" A portion of the South Atlantic Fleet has been paying us quite a long visit. The
, St. George,' the' Brilliant,' and the' Tartar' were here tqgether, and cricket matches
have been' all the go.'
"Dreadful as it may seem, it is nevertheless a fact, that hockey is being played in
Sierra Leone. This week the gunners beat the officers of the West Indian Regiment
(2nd Battalion) in a great match on the King Tom cricket ground.
"We have also now a golf club, started through the energies of Major Thompson,
Staff-Officer. The links are on the' grass-fields.' The greens are brown earth."

A VERY handsome silver Cup has been presented to the Oollege Mess by the Civilian
Members of the Advisory "Board, of which it is hoped to give a photograph in our next
issue. It bears the following inscription: "Presented to the Royal Army Medical

Frederick Treves, Bart., K.C.V.O., C.B., LL.D.
Another very handsome cup, of which a photograph is given, has been presented to
the Mess by the following Officers of late No. 2 General Hospital, Pretoria, S.A.:
Surgeon-General Keogh, Lieutenant-Oolonels Sylvester, Gibson, Loughecd, Burton, and
Majors Sutton and Nicolls, with the following inscription: "Presented to the Royal
Army Medical College Mess by thc Officers of No. 2 General Hospital, Pretoria, 19001902."
AWARD OF ROYAL MEDALS.
MUOH interest attaches to the two Royal medals which the Sovereign places every
year at the disposal of the Royal Society. One of these goes to Professor Burnside,
F.R.S., for original and valuable mathematical research. The second is awarded to
Colonel David Bruce, F.R. S., of the Army Medical Service, for his immensely useful
work in Central Africa. Ten years ago Colonel Bruce proved that the Nagana and tsetsefly diseases in Zululand were one and the same, and then, following up this discovery,
he proved what was of cardinal import, that the tsetse-fly was the carrier of the
parasitical blood organism which caused the malady. This great success he has
seconded by another of equal, if not of still greater, moment, by showing that the
" Sleeping Sickness" is also induced by a microscopic parasite, and that a species of
.the tsetse-fly acts as the carrier of the deadly organism. Like the mosquito which,
in a similar fashion, acts as the transmitter of malaria, the tsetse-fly is now on what
may be called the "infective insect list," and this is largely the result of the
observations of the King's medallist.

THE following iR an extract from the Daily Mail, dated September, 1904:-
LEAP FROM A LINER.
GALLANT RESCUE BY A BRITISH OFFICER.
MaTseilles, Thursday, SeptembeT 29.
I have just seen one of the Officers of the Messageries steamer Saghalien, who gave
me the following account of a deed of remarkable bravery performed by a British
passenger while the ship was in the Ionian Sea:" About half-past nine in the morning one of the hands, named Fioramenti, fell
overboard. There were only a few passengers on deck, but a sailor threw a lifebuoy to
the drowning man and a passenger sent a deck chair after it. The sea was running
very high and a strong wind was blowing. The order was given to stop the vessel, but
before it could be executed Captain Thomas Oampbell MacKenzie, of the Royal Army
Medical Oorps, dived, fully dressed, over the ship's side.
" A lady trie4 to hold him back, but the Oaptain eluded her, and was soon swimming towards Fioramenti. With the assistance of a life-belt he kept the sailor afloat
for three-quartets of an hour, in spite of the heavy seas which were dashing over them,
and at last both men were rescued in an exhausted condition by a boat from the
Saghalien.
"Oaptain MacKenzie met with a tremendous reception when he stepped on deck
again, women weeping for joy. The male passengers drew up a petition to the French
Minister of Marine asking that the British Officer should be decorated for his bravery.
It is doubtful, however, if Oaptain MacKenzie would accept any recompense, as he is
extremely modest and refused all requests to be interviewed."

THE CENTRAL BRITISH RED CROSS COUNCIL.
68, VICTORIA STREET, VVESTMINSTER, S. W.,
November 21, 1901.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE" JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL ARMY l'1IEDICAL CORPS."
SIR,-The Oentral British Red Oross Council desires to bring the very important
question of the organisation of the voluntary aid resources of this country prominently
before the pnblic, and to make an appeal for funds with the object of extending and
developing Red Oross organisaticn on a scale commensurate with the requirements of
the country.
, , Her Majesty Queen Alexandra is President, and the Oouncil is constituted as
follows:I
Representatives of the National Society for Aid to the Sick and Wounded in War;
of the St. John Ambulance Association; of the St. Andrew's Ambulance Association;
of the Army Nursing Service Reserve; of the Admiralty; and of the War Office.
Ohairman, Viscount Knutsford, G.O.M.G. ; Hon. Treasurer, Sir John Furley, O.B. ;
Hon. Secretary, Major T. McOulloch, M.B., Deputy Assistant Director-General, A.M.S.
The Oentral British Red Oross Oouncil was started in January, 1899, with the full
approval of the War Office, and is now officially recognised by all Foreign Ohancelleries
as the central body authorised to deal with Red Oross matters throughout the Empire.
The functions of the Oouncil may be stated shortly as follows ;(1) To act as the recognised medium of communication witb the Red Oross organisations of other countries.
* This has reference to No. 17,619 Private J. McDonald, No. 14 Oompany, Dublin,
and constitutes a record for the Army.

(2) To be the medium of official communication between the naval and military
authorities and voluntary aid societies and their branches.
(3) .To promote the extension and organisation of volnntary aid resources throughout the Empire.
The lessons of the past have shown that arrangements not preconcerted . or
systematised beforehand in time of peace must necessarily be imperfect under the
sudden emergencies of war. We have learned from previous experience not only that,
in presence of a state of war, money subscriptions, donations in kind, and offers of
personal services have always been freely given, and that an appeal to the public has
invariably met with most generous response, but also that it is absolutely necessary to
prepare in advance an organisation capable of dealing with those voluntary offers, if
we desire to avoid in the future the misdirection of energy, failure of purpose, and
waste of money and material that has occurred, and must inevitably occur, through
want of such organisation.
Moreover, the suddenness with which war conditions often arise should be borne
in mind, and of this we could have no more striking instance than the tension of the
last few weeks.. The possibilities of our being suddenly involved in war are, therefore,
such as to make it imperative on Red Oross organisations to have their preparations
thoroughly thought out and settled in peace time.
Shortly after the Oentral British Red Oross Oouncil was established the question
was brought under consideration how, in vil3w of wars in which Great Britain is
engaged as a belligerent, the organisation of the voluntary aid resources of the country
could best be secured in time of peace, whether by district or local Oommittees, or otherwise. The outbreak of war in South Africa prevented any progress being made in this
direction, but the work has again been taken up, and the Oouncil has now a scheme in
hand, of which the broad outlines are ;.
(1) That there should be a Red Oross Oommittee for each county, or, in the case
of the larger counties, for a division of the county.
. (2) That, if found desirable, there might be separate Branch Oommittees in large
towns (say in towns having a population of over 100,000).
(3) That branches should also be formed on similar lines in India and the Oolonies.
(4) That the local Oommittees should select for themselves the direction in which
they are prepared to offer aid. All schemes authorised and prepared by them with a
definite object, such as grants in aid, either in money or material, towards providing
auxiliary hospitals, convalescent homes, hospital ships, hospital trains, or other means
of transport, are to be submitted to the Oouncil.
(5) In Scotland the establishment of local Oommittees has been undertaken by the
Red Cross branch of the St. Andrew's Ambulance Association.
The scheme, as outlined above, has received the gracious approval of Her :Majesty
Queen Alexandra, the President of the Oouncil.
In order, however, to provide means for carrying these proposals into effect, it is
necessary that the Oouncil, which has no source of income of its own, should be in
possession of funds sufficie.nt to finance the work for the first few years, at the end of
which time it is hoped that the work of organisation will have developed sufficiently to
be self-supporting; and it is for the purpose of obtaining these funds that the present
appeal to the public is made.
'
The importance of perfecting Red Oross work in time of peace is fully admitted by
other nations, and all the great Powers have placed the peace organisation of their
voluntary aid resources on a solid basis. Organisation of this kind does not exist in
our own country, and the danger of its absence was pointed out in the report submitted
to the Secretary of State for War by the British official delegate to the Sixth International Oongress of Red Oross Societies, which was held at Vienna in 1897. It is
confidently hoped that the question will be fully recognised as one of uational importance, and that a generous response will be made by the public to this appeal.
Donations, and annual SUbscriptions of 5s. and upwards, should be sent to the
Honorary Treasurer, Sir· John Furley, O.B., 14, Evelyn Gardens, South Kensington.
Oheques should be made payable to the Oentral British Red Oross Oouncil, and should
be crossed" London and Oounty Bank, South Kensington Branch."
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
KNuTsFoRD, Ohairman.
