medical news and items. , 44 Philippines in 1633, when the Emperor of Japan sent one hundred and fifty-lepers to the islands. Since then the number has increased until the estimate is that there are thirty thousand lepers in the archipelago, largely in the Vasayas. In a recent inspection of Manila, one hundred lepers were found concealed in various houses, while many others escaped to the country. —Medical Record. The Medical Record says that the city of Philadelphia can now, in con" sequence of the settlement of all litigation over the will of Dr. Evans, the American dentist who practiced in Paris for nearly half a century, proceed with the founding and establishing of the Thomas W. Evans Dental Institute and Museum. The institution has been incorporated, and it will be built on property that belonged-to the testator in Philadelphia. About $3,000,000 wiU be devoted to the structure and its equipment and endowment. Dr. Evans left an estate amounting to a little over $4,000,000, one-quarter of which goes, under the terms of the settlement, to the direct legatees, mentioned in the will for smaller sums, and the remainder to the foundation and endowment of the Dental Institute and Museum. Russia's Stupendous Anti=AlcohoI Campaign.—It is now five years since the Russian government assumed exclusive control of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors. In nearly all the provinces the saloon has been supplanted by the government shops, in which a guaranteed pure article is sold in a limited quantity to each customer. None is sold to those already intoxicated. These shops are located quite a distance apart and no one is allowed to drink liquor on the premises where sold. The system is supplemented by officially appointed local committees in each large town, which are supplied with funds to establish attractive temperance restaurants, reading-rooms, and people's palaces," They are expected to maintain a general crusade against the use of alcohol. A portion of the enormous profits of the liquor monopoly is devoted to this purpose. Second Attacks of Typhoid Fever.—Dr. T, J. Maclagan, writing in the British Medical Journal regarding preventive inoculations for typhoid fever, says that the foundation of the treatment is a hypothesis which is inconsistent with fact. The idea is that, as one attack of typhoid gives immunity from a second, temporary if not lasting immunity might be acquired by inoculation with an attenuated dose of the poison. But one attack of typhoid does not give immunity from a second, he says. Second attacks of typhoid are as common as, by the ordinary doctrine ot chances, they ought to be; more common, for instance, than second attacks of pneumonia, in about the same proportion that first attacks are more common. If one attack of the fully developed disease does not give immunity, he concludes, inoculation with an attenuated dose of the poison can scarcely be expected to do so. Any Physician desiring to give his son or daughter a course of study in a business college, can save $10.00 on the price of tuition by communicating with this Journal. We have for sale a scholarship in Lee's Business College, Charlotte, N. C., including a guarantee of a position when the course is completed. The London Chronicle states that great interest has been aroused in Germany by the alleged discovery of a specific against morphinism by Dr. Otto Emmerich, of Baden-Baden. It is a distilled vegetable oil of intense acidity, two or three drops of which is taken internally daily. In from three
