GIFT TO EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY.-Sir David Baxter-who last week so generously presented the people of Dundee with a park of the value of 50,0007.—has funded 3,000l. for the purpose of establishing two scolarships in the University of Edinburgh, of the value of 60%. each per annum.

MANSLAUGHTER BY A MEDICAL HERBALIST.-On Friday W. C. Maynard, Esq., held an inquest at Newcastle, on the body of Jane Mr. Robson meadow saffron, prescribed for her by Joseph Markus, a German Sumby, aged forty-nine, who died from the effects of a dose of Jew medical herbalist, residing in Church-street. attended, on behalf of the Town Clerk, for the prosecution; and Mr. Graham watched the case on behalf of Markus, who was present in the custody of a policeman. The evidence proved, that the meadow saffron, of such strength as to cause the deceased great pain, The coroner, in summing up, said they and then her death. prisoner, when applied to for some medicine, sent a mixture of would agree with him there could be little doubt that the woman's death had resulted from the mixture prescribed by Mr. Markus. There seemed to be some little question as to whether Markus said a teaspoonful or a table-spoonful; but that did not touch the quesuntil by education, training, and a long course of study, he had tion, for the law said that a man was not to practise in such matters dangerous. If they thought Markus gave the medicine, however qualified himself to deal with these things, which were very well intentioned, he was guilty of manslaughter. As to Markus not receiving any pay for the medicine, that was of no moment, and would not form an element in their consideration. The jury, after an hour's consultation, returned a verdict that deceased had "Died from an overdose of meadow saffron." The coroner said he took that as a verdict of manslaughter, and thereupon committed Markus for trial on the charge. The prisoner was then committed for trial on the coroner's warrant,

MEDICAL CORRESPONDENCE.

EFFICACY OF TAR IN CUTANEOUS, PHAGEDENIC, ULCEROUS, AND DIPHTHERITIC AFFECTIONS.-We stated in a recent article (Art. 6460), which has erroneously been attributed to the 'Bulletin de Thérapeutique,' the editor of that journal having omitted to quote the Journal of Practical Medicine' as the source whence he derived his information, that Mr. Bouchut was engaged in testing the efficacy of the different kinds of tar, and especially of coal-tar, in the treatment of skin-diseases, wounds of unhealthy aspect, and diphtheria of the skin and mucous membranes. In phagedenic ulcers, coal-tar is now universally admitted to be advantageous, and may be prescribed with the same confidence as phenic acid which is extensively used in Mr. Maisonneuve's wards. For this purpose, any one of the formulas we have described will be found appropriate. But in order to effect a solution of a more permanent character, Mr. Bouchut previously dissolves the coal-tar in spirit, and mixes the tincture with water. We recently noticed in this gentleman's wards, a little girl affected with phagedenic ulcers of the anus, consequent on follicular inflammation, who was threatened with extensive destruction of tissue, and formidable gangrene. The unhealthy aspect of the wound was speedily modified by the application of compresses moistened with a liquid containing part of tincture of coal-tar, and the condition of the child is now perfectly satisfactory. Coal-tar also produced most beneficial effects in a case of diphtheria of the eye, in another in which false membranes had formed on the surface of a blister, and in several cases of diphtheria of the wound in the neck resulting from tracheotomy. With regard to pseudo-membranous angina, the matter is still under investigation. In three cases of diphtheritic sore-throat accompanied by fever, the applications of coal-tar induced a favourable change in the space of twenty-four hours; but in these cases, the lymphatics of the neck were not enlarged, nor was any albumen detected in the urine, as usually occurs in diphtheritic angina, and we have therefore no conclusive evidence that the solution of tannis in glycerine, nitrate of silver, or any other such remedial agent might not have proved equally efficient.

With regard to the uses of tar in skin diseases, Mr. Bouchut by no means claims the merit of discovery; we reproduce the following letter on the subject, less with a view of elucidating an unimportant point of prior invention, than for the purpose of once more pointing out the benefits derivable from coal-tar in the treatment of cutaneous affections. The following is the communication of our learned correspondent :

'Sir,

Some four years since I resorted to a formula closely analogous to that now recommended by Mr. Bouchut, for the treatment of eczema, more especially eczema rubrum, impetigo, intertrigo, prurigo pudendi, mentagra, acne rosacea, and other eruptions, varying the strength of the pomades according to the requirements of each case.

"So far back as 1857, Mr. Gibert, of Hospital Saint Louis, publicly professed his belief in the efficacy of resinous and empyreumatic substances in diseases of the skin, and daily prescribed in his wards, as the very best local modifier and siccative in squamous eruptions, and in chronic impetigo and eczema, a pomade containing from 15 grains to half-a-drachm of purified tar to one ounce of lard. He has since replaced theaxunge by glycerine thickened with starch, as prepared by Messrs. Gap and Garot, and now frequently resorts to the following liniment for the formula of which we are indebted to Mr. Lecocq :

Boil the starch and glycerine, stirring the mixture uninterruptedly, until it has attained syrupy consistency, add the tar, and mix carefully.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANEA.

REDUCTION OF THE SIZE OF THE HEAD OF THE FŒTUS WHEN IMPACTED AFTER EXPULSION OF THE BODY.In a letter to the Gazette Médicale, of Paris, Mr. Hubert, of Louvain, examines what is the most judicious course to be followed when, after the passage of the body of the foetus, the head is retained in consequence of its unusual size, or of deformity of the maternal pelvis. He begins by remarking that division of the symphysis is not to be thought of, when hydrocephalus is present, because the child cannot live. When the shape and size of the head are natural, and the diameter of the pelvis does not exceed 6 centimetres (2 in.), and if, despite efforts of extraction attempted with the hand, forceps or lever, the child still lives, the propriety of symphyseotomy might be discussed. But it must not be forgotten that, although some faint indications of life may still persist under these circumstances, they will almost certainly be extinguished before the completion of the procedure.

It is, therefore, necessary to reduce the size of the head and to effect this result is the only urgent indication.

The safest method, that which is best calculated to secure been traversed by the trunk, is to act on the sphenoid bone, the descent of the head through passages which have already which is the key-stone of the cranium. This solid structure is the abutment on which the temporal and parietal bones directly or indirectly rest, and, after its destruction, they readily collapse. The occipital bone bends so as to descend obliquely into the pelvis, a fact recently demonstrated in a pelvis measuring but two inches in diameter.

Starting from these anatomical data, Mr. Hubert proceeds as follows

A transversal incision, nearly three inches in extent, is performed at the upper part of the sternum, in a line with the clavicles; the upper flap is separated from the other structures in the extent of a few lines, and through this aperture a pair of blunt-pointed scissors is inserted as far as the base of the cranium; the instrument is then opened and withdrawn, so as to establish a passage into which the perforator can easily be introduced so as to reach the roof of the pharynx.

The lower jaw may during the operation be fixed with the fingers, but this precaution is not indispensably required, gentle traction of the body being in general sufficient to secure the steadiness of the head.

With regard to the choice of a perforator, Mr. Hubert prefers the terebellum invented by Dugès to Smellie's or Blot's scissors, which might also be used. Mr. Hubert's objection to these instruments is, that when the surgeon employs them, or has recourse to a knife, he is not sufficiently aware of the exact moment of penetration into the skull, and when the perforation, as in Mr. Chailly's procedure, includes the roof as well as the basis of that cavity, he may not insert the blade to a sufficient depth, or more serious consequences may arise from pushing it too far and piercing through the cranium. In addition, the instrument being impacted in solid bone, does not play with sufficient ease to break down the cerebral structure, whereas when the terebellum is resorted to, the mobility acquired by its extremity when penetration has been fully effected, warns the operator; and the shaft, working in an aperture wider than itself, easily assumes all the changes of direction required for the destruction of the brain.
