Abstract
THE first of October is the opening day of the winter session of our medical schools; and in many of them it is made the occasion of an address, given by some person of high authority. The addresses this yelar include a wide range of subjects. Mr. Handley, at the Middlesex Hospital, gave a very pleasant discourse on the “renegades of medicine,” the men who have forsaken medicine for some other profession, not without advantage to themselves and us—Keats, Goldsmith, Bridges, Huxley, Livingstone, and many more. It is a new subject, and worth working out; but we are not sure that Mr. Handley got hold of the right end of the moral. Sir William Osier at St. George's, Dr. Hunter at Charing Cross, and Prof. Sherrington at Leeds, spoke on certain problems of medical education. Sir John McFadyean, at the Royal Veterinary College, spoke on the working of the new Tuberculosis Order of the Board of Agriculture. He stated that the number of milking or dairy herds in England and Scotland free from tuberculosis was practically negligible; and he urgently advised the owners of valuable pedigree herds, as a matter of their own profit, to eradicate the disease among their animals. He also advised that contagious abortion in cows, and Johnes's disease, should be brought under the Contagious Diseases of Animals Act.
