It looked this morning as if the doctors were about to make a raid on the United States Treas- Ury. An army of them assembled a little after 9 O'clock on the south steps of the Treasury. They spent soine time tuere pulling up their collars, ar- ranging their cravats and getting themselves into impressive attitudes. Svona man came along with acamera, ‘The camera was polnted toward the del. egates and a few minutes later the assembly broke up. The Ninth International Medical Cougress had been photographed, ‘The delegates quickly found their way to Albaugh’s Opera House and wok thelr Places ready for ‘THE LAST GENERAL SESSION OF THE CONGRESS. Dr. Davis, the president, was early on hand on the stage. So was Dr. G. Fielding Blandford, the London physician who was to deliver the address of wie day. Dr. Blandiord was accompanied by his English coliexgues, Drs. Lloyd and Anderson. When the congress was called to order by Dr. Davis, a little after 10 o'clock, Dr. Atkinson an- nounced that on the Government steamer, going to Mt. Vernon to-morrow, foreign guests only Would be admitted, as there would not be room for others. He stated also that only the foreign guests Were invited to the entertainment at “Grasslands.” ‘A COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL. Dr. Jos. M. Toner, of this city, also made an an- nouncement. It was known, he said, that there Was a movement to have a médal cominemorative of the Ninth International Medical Congress. He Was happy to state that the subscriptions received were sufficient to insure the medal, and it was roposed to have it struck at the United States int at Philadelphia. Two hundred have been Subscribed for. He desired to give those who wished an opportunity of subscribing for a medal and paying five doliars to the treasurer. Dr. Hamliton, the secretary-general presented the report of tlie committee appointed yesterday to select the time and place of the meeting of the ‘Tenth International Medical Congress. He said the committee met yesterday afternoon. Dr. Sem- mola, of Naples, was elected president and Dr. Assaky, of Bucharest, secretary. ‘THE CONGRESS TO MEET IN BERLIN IN 1890, Bya vote unanimous except in one instance Berlin was selected as the place of the next meet- ing, and the year 1800 as the time. ‘The announce- ment Was received With applause and the report was adopted. The secretary-general reported also for the Information of the Congress resolutions adopted yesterday by the section on military surgery, mentioned elsewhere in Tae Star. These resolutions, offered by Dr. Jos. R. Smith, propose that there Should be a uniform report of'sick and wounded of armies, and submitted a form ar- ranged by Dr. Smith, Dr. Davis then invited Dr. J. D. Phillips, of Lon- don, to take the chair while Dr. G. Fielding Blandford delivered is address. Dr. Blandford’s subject was “Ine Treat. Ment of Recent Cases of Insanity in Asylums and in Private Houses.” Dr. Blandford {s a large man, of dignified bearing, and has a full head of siivered hair and a beard nearly white, which he wears about bis face like that of Hon. James G, Blaine, who “Dr. Biandford ret sembles” considerably. Dr. Blandford read his paper in a clear and dis- linct voice, without any DR. G. F. BLANDFORD. attempt at forensic effect, and he Was listened to ‘with marked attention. Dr. Biandiord stated that his paper had been prepared for presentation before the section in psychological and nervous diseases. If he ad tn- tended tt. for delivery before a more general audi- ence he would have written ft differently. His Paper was descriptive of Various typical cases ot loania or dementia met with In the practice of physicians; and suggested modes of treatinent. He described ihany cases of mania that could be Sweated successfully at home it the family was willing to detray the cost. But nine eases out of ten, he said, should be removed to a more suitable place of treatment. Dr. Blandford remarked that to harness a patient to'a bedstead by bis wrists and ankles was not treatment, though unfortu- nately, even Ih this day, such practices were oc- castonilly met with, He spoke of the reluctance That was felt by relatives of persons needing treatment to sending such to an asylum, ‘The nou-asylum treatment of persons’ suffering trom depression or melanchoila, he sald, has gen- erally been tried before the services of the special- fst isealled in. Asylum treattnent was necessary fo most. cases of sulcidal patients, though, a8 shown by the report of the English commissioners of lunacy, it was shown that confinement in an asylum did not always prevent suicide. Melan- cholfa was the most tedious of all curable rorias of insanity, because Weeks and months were often required. $o the question of expense came in in ‘the cases of poor patients. ‘To properly care tor them at home would involve great expense. Then, to keep them in their old surroundings was likely to favate the malady. ‘The — exag- gerated ezolsm Was a noticeable feature Of such cases. At home, where they were the center of attention, this was encouraged. In an asyluin, Where the ‘patient became one ot many, where lie sat at the table with twenty or more others, and no one seemed to care whether he re- fused his food or not, it was different. ‘The best treatment 1n many such cases, Dr. Blandford said, was what he called judicious neglect. Speaking of the law, Dr. Blandford the question, how far they were justified in. treating cases outside of an asylum Without recourse to Tue lunacy laws. He thought the physictan ought {9 have opportunity of treating such caves outside of an asyluin unull 1t was deemed by them neces. sary lo seek asylum treatment. Hecovery may take place in sotue cases without sending the pa- ent to an asylum, ‘A VOTE OF THANKS. Dr. Blandford’s address was recelved with ap- Plause. At its conclusion Dr. Cordes, of Geneva, Speaking in French, moved a vote of thanks, com piimenting the author very highly. ‘The motion Was seconded by a German delegate, who also paid @ compliment to Dr. Blandtord. RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. ‘The secretary general reported the following resolutions as having been adopted by the section of public and international hygiene: yhereas the whole community has been shocked by the almost daily occurrence of terrible accl- dents on many of the raliroads, caustng consider- able loss of iife, and by the habitual neglect of the most elementary sanitary laws, ‘Whereas as this section considers itself in a de- gree the guardian of publlc health; be tt Resolved, That the attention of’ this ninth In- ternational Medical Congress be respectfully called Ww this most important question, and that it be re- quested to use its influence to obtain the necessary reforms, “I hope,” sald President Davis, when the paper had been Tread, “the congress Will'give all {ts iniu ence to the matter. It needs no vote.” ‘A FORMAL ADJOURNMENT TO-MORROW. President Davis announced that the program ovided for a general sesston to-morrow morning. it was desired for the purpose of having a formal adjournment that the delegates should assemble Ww-morrow. In order that the foreign guests could reach the boat for Mt. Vernon tn time he adjourned the congress until half-past 9 o'clock to-morrow morning, Wien the metabers will meet stinply for Parting and adjournment. The membera ten left the hall and hastened to their sections, ‘THE FOREIGN DELEGATES, Some of the Eminent Physicians From Abroad Attending the Congress.

With this large number of guests the assembly was as select and the reception con- ducted with as much ease and grace a8 if it were 4n a private house, The immense size of the hall and the fact that those present were well distrib. ‘uted through the building, on the balconies that Surround. the hall and in such rooms as were opened, prevented any crowding and rendered Dr. Jeffery A. Marsto , | C.B., who is Dr. Lioya’s ‘everybody comfortable. The company began to arrive at 8 O'clock, the foreigners being first admitted by @ private entrance, The reception of guests was so skilitully managed that they Were quickly dispersed about the hall, and there ‘Was no crowding about the entrance where each new comer Was welcomed by Dr. Davis, the prest- dent of the congress; Dr. Hamilton the’ secretary- general; Dr. Arnold, and Dr, 8. J. Jones, preside its Or s*ctiOns; Dr. Atkinson, aSsoclate secretary; Dr, Dunglison, the treasurer: Dr. Sir James Grant, of Ottawa, and others. Tne guests were introduced ‘each of these in the order named. Members of the committee, without ostentation, were placed at the various entrances and were about the hall looking after the comfort of those present. | A thousand or more chairs, placed where they would not interfere with the easy movement of the guests, furnished seats for such as desired to rest from the promenade. ‘The hall was soon com~ prt ape ceria a jou roper invitatiol none found entrance,» Pr°Pe’ ~ 4 BRILLIANT SCENE. ‘The scene, When all had assembled, was bril- Mant, The hall was gorgeous with bunting. The first balcony, extending all around the immense hall, was festooned with American flags pinned together with shields. Foreign flags hung in full display from the balcony above, stands of colors surrounded the base of the iiminense Corinthian columns, and foreign and American flags were displayed together wherever else they could add to the effect of the decoration, ‘The Marine Band sat on ahandsomely decorated stand near the center, and thelr muste tliled the hall. A fountain fringed With tall, green plants played in the mid- dle of the hall. “The guests strolied around this and under the high arches, stood in groups here and there, or sat listening’ to the muste, as Was their pleasure. ‘The ladies wore evening dre 5, some of them being very handsomely attired. The gentlemen were in coiventional evening dress, also, and the breasts of some of the torelguers Sparkled With insignia of rank. ‘There was Wand. Shaking and ively conversation tn evers. part of the bull, and many complimentary remarks were .heard ag to the beautituf appearance of the bap- ‘quet hall and the pleasant manner in which the reception was conducted, The occasion seemed to be enjoyed by all present, AT TOR TABLES. After about an hour the lower end of the hall, ‘which had been shut off by screens, and in which the tables were spread along threo sides ot a Sauare,was thrown open,and there was noneed for turther invitation to the bounteous feast than wis offered by the tempting appearance of the tables. With such a large number of guests a crush was inevitable at this point, but perfect good nature prevailed, and there was an abundance of retresh- ments and ample opportunity for everybody, at some time, to be served. For the first hour’the Scenes abdut the table were amusings. Rows of gentlemen about the tables, six or eigit deep, all Teaching over each other's heads in the scramble to be served, while the ladles tringed along ie outskirts, Hopelessly remote from tue reiresh- ments, looked like an assertion of mascu- Hine fuperiority and | precedence, and | ex. clamations about the “horrid mex” were heard iu the balcony overlooking the crush, But it was soon seen that these gentlemen were merely pressing forward in tue interest of the ladles whom they were trying wo serve, Alter their plates were served they retired among the ladies With the refreshments secured, and they formed ltctle plente groups about the room, Some of the old-time doctors who got near the tables and were particularly gallant in serving the ladies accom- anted their service with good advice on the sub- Ject or aigestion, cautioning them as to. what. fc Sut into tuetr stom icas at that evening. Bur some of the wisest doc- ked Indigesiibie saluds with superd recklessness, and there was much pleasantry and good huinor, ‘There Was a very general greeting of friends, and introduction to ue ances, and these lect character of the e rendered any yall the dele~ great reserve uunecessary. gutes to the consress and inost of the prominent al physlelans and thelr wiye: daughters, the District Commissioners, and imany other prom luent citizens, were present, THE DECORATIONS. Noone could be disappointed with the decora- Uons of the Pension building for the occasion. It was brilliantly illumined with electricity and gas, The lower gallery wa3 drapped with American Mags. AU one end of the great hall was hung a paluting of President Cleveland, und over the rseshoe-shaped buffet was a sina: portrait of Washington. From the upper gallery depended the flay of ali uations, Jadioll oh the reiresbinent stands, and pots of ren plants surroundes the cireular basin in the center of which a fountain threw up cooling Sprays, The platform for the Marine Band was raped with fags. Dressing-rooms where wraps were checked Were arranged on theinrst gul- lery. BY 9 o'clock there were 6,000 per- Sous promenading the floors or sitting in the chairs that were placed upon tue floor. When the rush Was made for first places at tue buffet board, much clothing was ruined by stray Dits of salad falling from heaped up plates of dain- Ues being carried Over the heads of the besleging crowd ahd the overtiow of foaming champazue glasses. Claret and rum punch were also served With the edibles, and there Was no lack In quan ULy of anything. The buffet supply held out until the Closing notes of “Home, Sweet Home.” THE MUSIC. Prof. Sousa was very happy in his musical se- lections for the evening. For the march to the buffet in the beginning he played the “Constitu- ‘onal Centennial” march, a new composition of his own in honor of the anniversary next week to be celebrated in Philadelphia. In It he introduces a fetching refrain that 1s sure to be popular. ‘The Tendering of the Scotch medley was greatly en- Joyed by the bonny Scots present, SOME OF THOSE PRESENT.

W. Godding, Superintendent of St, Eliza- beth's Hospital for the Insane, read an interesting paper before the psychological section of the con- gress, on “Insanity a8 a Defense for Crime.” ‘The doctor began with the question, “How far does the insanity of a man affect his responsibil ity?” This question, he said, though among Eng- Ush-speaking nations centuries in the asking seems as far as ever from a satisfactory answer. Insanity ts the mental manifestation of bodily dis- eage and not a question of the knowledge of right and wrong, can by no possibility become a judi- clal utterance; and consequently cannot any more than small-pox take its lim{tations from the meta- physical answers of any juc Much of the seeming conflict between law and medicine comes from misappreension. “While the physician tes.

Wuen the disease and the crime stand in the simple relation of cause aud effect, and are so recogaized, there will be brushing away of some legal dud psychological cobwebs that now festoon the attics of many medico-judicial brains, HIS HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. ‘This view of the responsibility of lunatics was illustrated by one or two pertinent cases, and the doctor closed as follows: “The dependeace of the criminal act upon the insanity of the individual, this is the pivotal fact on which responsibility turns, ‘The court may still rule otherwise, but in an age to come, better than ours, In justice to So- clety no less than to the offender, insanity will be admitted as an extenuating circumstance, even if ot. received as a complete defense for crinie, May We not hope, despite illustrious examples to the contrary, Uhat the courts have nearly done hang- ing lunatics with or without a knowledge of rigut and Wrong? ‘The World may well dispense with Protection that does not protect, with ghastly ex- amples that do not deter other ‘insane men trom. crime, Society 18 fnding out less objectionable ‘methods for the disposal of Its cranks, and history will read better by and by without Ulese impres- sive execution scenes.

An Interesting paper was presented to the sec tion of general medicine yesterday on diabetes, by the celebrated Dr. Pavy, ot London, England. He sald that the diabetic 1s unable to dispose of the carbo-bydrates ingested, and these principles escape into the circulation. Tue fault lies in the blood, of the portal vien, If we cause super-oxydation of the blood glycosuria appears. So, also, if we induce vaso- motor paralysis in the chylo-poietic viscera the dilated arteries dehver too much blood, and glycosuria results. The worst cases are those in which the mouth ts intensely red. The varying re- ‘sults Obtained by different physittans in examining ‘the secretion are due to the fact that the secretion 1s obtained at different periods as regards diges- ton. Dr. Pavy tllustrated bis tests and methodsot making tests, The most sailsiactory cases of diabetes to Creat, he said, are those of elderly per- sous. Patlents Under their fortieth year are tempo- rarily relieved by treatment, but finally die of coma. In treating diabetes the diet consists of meat of any sort, butter, cheese, little or no milk and al- mond bread. Opium or codeine is given for three W&ix months. After the sugar has disappeared for some months he allows his patient two oune: of bread perday. If nosugur appear after two toonths another ounce of bread is added, and so on every Lwo months another ounce, unUl Six ounces are reached. ae ae is ee a long time, anc e patient only very gradually re- stored to his ordinary diet, Dr. Pavy was listened to with the closest atten- on, and When he closed was applauded until he had to rise and bow his acknowlsdgments.
