UNQUALIFIED PRACTITIONERS.

kr Macclesfield Town-hall last week the Coroner investigated a case of cancer attended by a person known as "the Reddish doctor," but about whose qualification the Coroner did not seem to be satisfied. Detective Dale had been written to by this person describing his qualifications, but the officer was away. The Coroner promised that if he found the person in question to be representing himself as a qualified medical practitioner he would report him "to the Medical Society." We presume the coroner means the Medical Defence Union. It is lamentable that there is no legally appointei person to take action in such cases.

Sn2aLl Chemist.-We are happy to be able to answer our correspondent’s query. The best advice that can be given for his client is that he should consult a medical man. We do not see that Small Chemist" need be ashamed of his ignorance of the pure physician’s work; but it is not so clear that he ought not to be ashamed of pretending to

practise

the

part

of the

physician

to the

possible

detriment of

a

fellow-being. STOP THIEF! To the Editors of THE LANCET.

SIRS,—Yesterday evening, as I was dressing for dinner, my servant up saying that a gentleman in the hall wanted to know at what

came

hour to-day I could see a lady in Upper Gloucester-place ; but before the servant had got down with the message the "gentleman" had disappeared, as had also a travelling-bag with its contents, amongst inhich was, unfortunately, my bunch of keys. He is described as being about twenty-eight years of age, with a dark moustache. In connexion with this brief record there are, I regret to say, several important omissions. I wish that I could give a fuller "personal history" of the individual, and knew more of his "previous history." His "present condition" (as my clinical clerks would write) is, I should say, unsatisfactory; but the prognosis should be "good" if my professional brothers would put their servants on the look-out and would themselves be ready to act on the line of Mr. Arthur Farr of Kennington-road. I am, Sirs, yours truly,
