THE ANTI-VACCINATIONISTS OF LEICESTER AND THE ROYAL COMMISSION.
THE Australian Postmaster-General recently suggested that mails arriving from Europe should be fumigated, with a view to prevent the introduction of any infectious disease, especially influenza. The Boards of Health for Victoria and South Australia rejected the idea as being of no value, but the Queensland authorities have instructed their officers at Watson’s Bay and Newcastle to inspect all vessels from European ports in its stead.
MR. BIGGS has been cheering his anti-vaccination constituents by glowing accounts of their prospects from the Commission. According to Mr. Biggs, the case for vaccination is crumbling away under the process of examination. We are content to wait, and would advise our non-vaccinating friends to do the same. NEW SYDENHAM SOCIETY.
WE are informed by the secretary of the Association of Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons of England that a committee meeting was held on Feb. 21st, 1890, at which a report of the origin, objects, and proceedings of the association was received and adopted. This report will shortly be issued to all the Fellows of the College.
SUSCRIBERS to the New Sydenham Society will be glad to learn that the council has been able to see its way to include the second volume of Henoch on Diseases of Children in the series for 1889. This volume completes the work, and is accompanied by an index. This is the fifth volume issued for that year. The first volume for the year 1890-namely, " Fliigge’s Treatise on Micro-parasites, or the Etiology of Infective Diseases "-will be issued at the same time. This work, which is a volume of more than 800 pages, and is copiously illustrated with woodcuts, has been translated by Mr. Watson Cheyne.
Royal Commission on Vaccination held another long on Wednesday. Lord Herschell presided, and most of the other members were present. Alfred Russel Wallace, LL.D., was examined at great length as to his experience THE
