The scenes about the lobby of the Opera House were interesting. ‘There wasa strange medley on the walls. Wedged in between pictures of actors in tights and buck- skins were placards relating to “Otology” and “Laryngology,” and many other “ologies.” There Were tables loaded with medical literature for free distribution, and each table was presided over by } 2B Active colporteur of some publishing house or drug establishment. Members, as they came, in brought in their hands packages of papers and manuscripts, and all of them appeared business like and ready for a day of profitable work. The house was not crowded as it was yesterday. ‘There were a number of ladies in the gathering. Promptly at ten o'clock the curtain rose, a signal that th eday’s session was about to begin, ‘A SYLVAN SCENE. The scene was a sylvan one, representing a vista seen through the trees of a pretty valley with shining riverrunning throughit. Inthe fore- ground, under the shadow of agreat branching Oak, Sat the secretary general, Dr. Hamilton. He looked calm and collected, notwithstanding that @ theater full of eyes were ‘glued pon him as the curtain rolled up With irritating slowness. In the background were a group of doctors, arranged as Roman citizens usually are in plays. There was Dr. Gihon, with one hand thrust tnto the breast of his coat, standing in a somewhat deflant attitude, as though daring the Bureau of Medicine and Sur- gery todo its worst; Dr. Garnett, who supported iis chin in his hand’ in an attitude of soliloquy; Dr, Atkinson, Who was caught just in the attitude of taking a step, as if by an instantaneous photo- graph; Dr. Austin Flint, who grasped a roll of manuscript like a Roman senator. When the cur- tain had been rolled up the group on the stage was broken up by the movements of the members toward seats, Enter Dr. N. 8, Davis, president of ‘the congress, at the left. Drs. Atkinson and Banga: roceed down the center to the secretaries’ table. Davis reaches the president’s chair by a circuitous route and givesa stroke on the table with bis gavel. ‘THE PROLOGUE Was delivered by Dr. Atkinson, who proceeded to the footlights and read out the names of a large number of physicians for whom he had letters or tel ‘Then he announced that the Treas- urer of the United States would have the vaults of the ‘Treasury opened each day from 9:30 a. m. to 10:30 p.m. for a limited number of visitors. Dr. Davis then took his cue and announced that the first business of the day was listening to a paper by Dr. Austin Flint, of New York, on “FEVER, ITS CAUSES, MECHANISM AND RATIONAL TREATMENT.” Dr. Flint, aman about fifty, of a sturdy figure, with a face beaming ‘ith good nature and orna- mented with a gray moustache and spectacles, then stepped forward with his roll of manuscript. He looked like an active New York business inan, and Was atUred like one,in a dark sult with a cut” Way coat. His spaper was listened to with pro- fund attention By tue doctors, Dr. Flint _advockted allmentation in fever. In- nutrition, he argued, added to the morbid phe- noma of ‘fever. He would give food to supply or Tetard the waste of tissue and degeneration. ‘The end was to restrain the ravages of fever, and the Supply of food need be Umited only by the power Of the digestive system. Referring to the use of alcohol in fevers, he said it was a potent agent. ‘The moral arguments against the use of alcool in Such treatment he said were illogical. Experience had shown that it could not take the place of an abundant and fatty alimentation, as in. the Arctic Tegions. But the conditions were changed in fever where any readily oxydizable substance intro- duced artificially into the system would under certain conditions be beneficial. If it were possi- Die to introduce into the system a sufficient wantity (of fatty, or farinaceous, food alcohol Mould not pe u: alcohol introduced into the system Ald not réduire to be digested.

Y. P. Gar- nett, chairman Of the local committee of arrange- ments, extended an invitation to the members of the coi to visit St. Elizabeth's Government Hospital for the Insane on any day between the 30-0. tm. emk-5 p. m., and to visit Lhe Co lumbta Institute for the Deaf’and Damb. BUT ONE PAPBR A DAY. It was on the program that Dr. MarlanSemmola, of Naples, should read a paper to-day. Dr. Davis, President of the congress, announced that on ac- count of the fact thatthe sections had a great deal of work to-day {t had been deemed best to have but one paper each morning at the goneral session. Therefore Prot. Semmola’s paper would not be read till to-morrow. ‘The address of Dr. P. G. Unna, of Hamburg, will ‘be delivered to-morrow morning, and otter papers on the program on the following days, ‘The congress was tiereupon ad- Journed until to-morow morning. ‘THE SESSIONS. ‘The morning discussions at most of the sections were very slimly attended, oF had no attendance at all, ag most of the doctors were at the general session at Albaugh’s.

Laryngological Association In 1881, calling the at- tention othe profession to some’ observations T made during a few previous years upon the local predisposing intrasnasal eaiises of this disease, he sufferers therefrom had spent & rambligg oi of life in seeking immunity ‘what they can now in a large percentage of cases easily fet cured permanemy and | surely, at ome, by a proper rational treatment. I desire to say, however, that the lamented Hack and some otuer able Workers in the same fleld claimed more for the plan of treatment I then ad- vised than I ever did, as_I then, in 1880, assumed to postulate, I still’ find it, after seven yeal Strongly tenable, viz: ‘Whether we are warrant in believing any case of hay asthma purely a Reurosts without first eliminating the possible causation due to local, structural, orfunctional dis- ease in the naso-pharynx.’ Therein clearly ad- mittng that a proportion ‘of cases were of the Character of neuroses, DUC a far greater proportion still depended on a Chronic intra-nasal disease, Upon which the exciting cause, viz: Pollen, &,, and other agents act with effect, and, second, without this intrinsic nasal disease the exciting cause is innocuous.” Dr. Daly referred also to the advancement of luryngology and Its cognate branches. THE FOOD OF THE SOLDIER. Dr. Jos. R. Sunlth, Heutenant-colonel and sur- geon, U.S. A., read an interesting paper yes~ Yerddy afternoon before the section of inili- tary and naval surgery and medicine on the “Food of the Soldier.” He en deavored to show the dimiculties in determining the exact, the least amount of food that will suftice for the soldier in the exigencies of service, and ave the rations of different armies and the diets levised by various observers and experimenters, comparing them and discussing their bearings, He showed that n general they err on the side of amplitude; that soldters, as regards their demand for food, are to be classed In the category of active laborers; that besides the nutriment the food con- tains We must also consider cost, fadility of trans jortation, and personal preferences in tixing a let. He concluded that thesoldier’s ration should contain about 293 grains of nitrogen and 4,570 rains of carbon, tnd that considerable variation in the relative proportions of these elements, as Well as In those of the food principles and in the bulk Of the food ingested, are consistent with health. He suggested two rations for armies Whose"mean proportions of nitrogen and carbon are N. 300 grains and C. 4,904 grains. Finally he emphasized the fact that’ sale, barter, and inter- change of food, in practice, always give the sol- dler suitable variety of food. DR. ROBINSON ON AMERICAN SPECIALISTS. Dr. A. R. Robinson, of New York, president of the section of dermatoiogy and syphilography, in his opening remarks yesterday afternoon, after greeting the members remarked: “It 1s fortunate that the heat will not be so great as the false Prophets promised, tor, knowing the effects of igh temperature upon the mental powers, and the amount of raiment one can Wear under great heat conditions, and that these medical conj Meetings are partly sclentifle and partly social in their cliaracter, 1t is evident that for a successtul congress of thi Kind the participants must bo clothed, and in their right minds. If the social Part is comparative failure, I trust that the mental food offered wilt be rich in valuable mate- rial, ‘The American supply to past congress meetings has been an unknown quantity; for this meeting we already know the ’ quant. ity, ‘and will soon’ Know the quality. You as specialists are too familiar with the derma- ‘ological iterature of America, vast in yearly amount, meager in contributions, not to wonder why with so many writers upon the subject, with 80 many dermatologists animated with that pecu- Mar American quality called “push,"we have con- tributed so little to the recent substanttal ad- Vancement in our knowledge of skin diseases, But Af we consider, as We now intend to do briefly, all ‘the conditions under which we pursue our studies in this country, 1U will appear strange that good work Is not even rarer than {t now 1s, After referring to the fact that there 1s no par- ticular center for dermatological study in America and hence no representative, Amerioan derma- tologist, he sald “returning from is | European travels~‘speaking a foreign language just as well as his mother tongue—the would-be specialist, 18 beset by temptations, to Which he too frequently falls a victim. With more medical journals in the land than are necessary for the publication of Papers that repay one for their perusal, there 18 on one hand a demand for an article on some sub- ject, it matters not what it be, by the editor, and, on the other hand, a desire to pubiish a "paper by the specialist anxious for reputation and notoriety. ‘The medi- ical world at least must know that he 1s devotiny special attention to a particular branch of medi- cal sclence, and what plan so good as to write an article for’a journal and by means of reprints scattered broadcast let the world know your specialty, name, and address. A few repetitions of this procedure wiil, without fail, bring patients to the office and réputation among the mass of general practitioners. Why tbls latter 1s a result 43 not dificult to understand. As already men- Uoned the college graduates usually have no knowledge of the so-called special branches, con- sequently any reprint, although tt be only a’ com. pilution of previous articles by real workers—and very often they are even very poor compilations— appear to the busy practitioner to contain vaiua- le doformation, and, che. suche hereat.as one aving special howledge of his sul “This mode of action 19 a very serious evil, and tmust and does bring discredit upon the. to that branci asa body.” Tt 1s to be hoped that the protest I now enter against this evil will not ‘be in valh, and that in the future only such artl- 2les will be published as represent real contribu- Uons to the existing knowledge of the subject dis- cussed He closed by expressing the hope, in view of past events, “tat another International Congress Will not be held in America until the profession in. this country have shown by their actionsa chi of heart, and that they are prepared to supject the desire for persoual gain to the p. ir, nobler, and more honorabie tveling for the rancement of medical sclence and the consequent relief of human suffering.” PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL VITAL STATIBTICR. Dr. A. L. Gihon, U. 8. N., in his address, yester- day afternoon, as president of the section of climatology und aemography, referring to the ex- pansion of medical science, said: “The Rome that ‘was built On Ube seven hills beside the Tiber was Dui the central sun of that great empire, whose Mmits were co-extensive with human progress. ‘So the medicine, which rested on the foundations of the seven chairs of the schools of fifty years ago was oniy the nucleus of that broad reaim of science Which to-day kes tributary every branch of human knowledge. To the outside world medicine 1s yet only the mercenary art of healing at sO much aplece the maimed, and the halt and the blind of the human race. It is sul an iuscrutabie mystery to the masses that men Who in their eyes are only tinkers of human mechanisms, where sweet bells are jangled out of tune, can really be earnestly striving to pre- Vent these very ills’ whose coming brings them profit. The recognition of the subjection of hu- Ian organisins to external tufluences Which sani- tary considerations have induced has brought climatological questions into prominence as medical factors—not in the restricted therapeutic | sense, Which has been so long the only inedium | through which physicians were ever expected to | look, but as active forces in man’s economy, ‘tne effects of Climute,” he said, “are not to be locked for in the prevalence of specific diseases with well-defined geographic mits, the ques. tion of acclimation considered, the climate of the United States unjustly denounced as pernl lous, when in fact the inost heterogeneous race elements are here being welded on a Vast scale into inti- mate union, as nowhere else on earth.” He submitted to the consideration of the section resolufions declaring that in the opinion of the section “It isimportant there should be established inevery country a national department bureau or commission for the record of vital statistics upon @ uniform basis, to include not only accurate returns of births and deaths, but the results of the attentive investigation by government offictals of facts bearing upon the natural history of disease as manifested among men, women, and children epee: especially with to climatic and other discoverable causes of the several forms of disease, that necessary preventive measures may be determined and enforced for the preservation ee oar at ‘The Italian Roreeanarsits he 8 al made le in thistdirection. bic Prof, Semmola, ‘THE ITALIAN SENATOR AND SCIENTIST WHO WILL READ ‘A PAPER. ® the United States “I feel it a duty,” he said, “to thank you for the welcome 60 amiable and heartfelt which you have accorded my confreres and me.
