This shows one of the many ways in which the Society has contributed most usefully since its foundation to the protection of infant life and the public good. At the last meeting of the Council of the Society for Help to the Wounded a vote took place for the nomination of a President to the Society in lieu of Count de Flavigny, whose death I mentioned in my last letter. The Due de Nemours Two votes was elected President by twenty-four votes. There were given to M. de Meaux, and one to Dr. Ricord. were seven votes lost. The house-surgeons of the Hotel Dieu of Caen have just received a most flattering testimonial from the Administrative Council of the hospitals of that town for their handsome conduct during the recent cholera epidemic. It is mentioned that the concours among all the housesurgeons of the Paris hospitals, which ended a few days ago, was a most remarkable one, all the candidates giving proof of extensive reading and competing most energetically for the various prizes. The contest for the first prize, or gold medal of the Paris hospitals, was a close one between two champions, MM. Rendu and Renaut, and ended in a dead-heat, the two coming in ex cequo. According to the regulations in such cases, the prize was to be given to the candidate who had already gained one of the hospital medals at a previous concours ;so it was bestowed or M. Rendu, whilst his competitor was presented with a silver medal. The building works of the new H6tel Dieu are about to be resumed. They had been abandoned by the contractors, who had vainly claimed an indemnity for the suspension of the works during the siege and Commune. But the Council of the Prefecture, after rejecting the claim, has summoned the dissatisfied contractors to go on with the building without further loss of time. The question, it is supposed, will be brought before the Council of State. The discussion on the proposed laws for liberty of superior education, which was to have taken place last Monday, has been postponed until Monday week. As regards the question of medical reform especially, it appears that the Commission has adopted the most liberal views, with the only reserve that the State alone will have the right of conferring
diplomas. The troops which

A distribution of warm clothing has already been made among them. The chair of Embryogeny at the College de France, rendered vacant by the death of Coste, will shortly be filled. There are three candidates of great merit who aspire to be Coste’s successor. One, M. Gerbe, was his assistant and co-operator for several years ; another, M. Dareste, of Lille, is well known by his remarkable researches on experimental teratology, which he has been conducting for the last twenty years; the third, M. Balbiani, is at present at the head of the histological department of Claude Bernard’s laboratory of general physiology at the Museum of Natural History. He has written several important works on the phenomena of development of insects, and will very likely be the successful candidate. Paris, December 8th, 1873.
