To the Editor of THE LANCET. SIR,—I am one of the many who would view with deep regret the obliteration of the Apothecaries’ Company ’as an examining body. Which of us, who has reached middle age, has not years since heard veteran practitioners, whose one diploma emanated from the College of Surgeons, make such a speech as the following :-"The Hall is a nasty quirky examination ; it deniands a knowledge of such a multiplicity of subjects. Now, at the College only anatomy and surgery are required, so I preferred to go there." In due course these gentlemen obtained, by purchase, the fellowship of the College, and, to their discredit be it said, proceeded to sneer at " country apothecaries." The fact is, that in days gone by the country apothecaries were the men best qualified to practise the profession of medicine. I obtained my diploma from the Hall in 1858, and can honestly

FILARIA
SANGUINIS HOMINIS AND FEVER. 1’0 the Editor of THE LANCET,
a diurnal periodicity of the filaria hominis sanguinis having now been very satisfactorily discussed by Dr. Stephen Mackenzie (the main result beingthat such periodicity is, as might have been anticipated, of a strictly contingent character), I should like through your columns to ask Dr. Manson if, as regards his Mse No.2 2 (the lad Tiong-Seug), he be of opinion that the febrile attack of the 16th day of July onward, was connected with the previously great abundance of filariæ in the blood on the 14th and 15th days? This question is submitted because at Bombay, five years ago, I had seen reason to associate the seasonal periodicity of elephantoid (or lymphatic) fever with not only the wellknown concurrent disturbance of some part of the lymphatic
