The only symptom-headache-appeared each forenoon and lasted five or six hours. The patient acknowledged no previous malarial infection. The blood examination showed no perfect organisms, but numerous malarial spores, and these rapidly disappeared with the symptoms under quinin. He regrets that the blood examination was not made earlier and the exact character of the parasite determined, though the appearances indicated the tertian organism. The case is reported on account of the unusual circumstances and manifestations and as a suggestion of the importance of early blood examination. UTERINE RETRODEVIATIONS. Lucy Waite, Chicago, (Journal A. M. A., Feb. 11th), discusses whether operations for these conditions are necessary; whether they are safe surgical procedures, and whether they have been sufficiently successful to warrant their advocacy in the future. She answers each question in the negative. In 1,000 cases taken from the records of her clinic, 39 per cent. were found with retro-deviation. In 15 per cent. of these there were no gyncologic symptoms. The remainder were recorded as complicated with definite pathologic conditions, tumors, pyosalpinx, chronic disease of ovaries, myometritis, etc. She notes the effects of fixation on an organ, the interference with circulation, etc., and from all the data in her observation and from what she has found in the literature, she concludes that a normal uterus may lie in any position in the pelvis without causing symptoms, and that when these occur they are due to other pathologic complications. This answers her first question. As regards the safety of the operation of ventrofixation, she quotes from numerous authorities showing its effects on the progress of pregnancy and delivery, and the dangers of strangulation, ileus, etc. Vaginal fixation is almost as bad in its results as ventrosuspension, and the best that can be said of the methods of shortening the round ligaments is that they are not dangerous excepting by weakening the abdominal wall and increasing the risk of hernia. On the other hand, they are unsuccessful in a large percentage of cases and, in view of the answer to the first question, are unnecessary. THE PROPHYLAXIS OF VENEREAL DISEASES. Prin e A. Morrow, New York City, (Journal A. M. A., March 4th), thinks that the extent of venereal diseases in married life is far greater than is commonly supposed. The chief social danger comes from the destructive effects on the health and on the productive energy of the family. Regulation of prostitution according to the European methods he considers practically ineffective, as it applys only to one sex. We might as well attempt to prevent the importation of plague by excluding only the infected women. The method of prophylaxis in which he puts the most confidence is education, both of youths and of the public generally. The public conscience must be awakened. The present indifference, based on ignorance, and the popular notion that these diseases are simply consequences of vice, must be done away with. In his opinion, a special society, including in its membership educators, clergy, jurists and sociologists, as well as medical men and publicspirited individuals generally, should undertake this work. It should be a permanent organization, exerting a continuous active force against this prevalent evil. He believes that, with organized and intelligent effort, many of the apparently insurmountable difficulties of this question eventually may be overcome.

No resort on the continent has ever equalled Saratoga Springs in its popularity. The great palatial hotels of this famous resort are still unparalleled in size elsewhere in the world, and the throngs which come to Saratoga year after year, still pay tribute to the attractions of the great watering place. So many devotees of pl. asure, so many tourists and pleasure seekers throng its streets that one sometimes forgets that the whole foundation of all this prestige lay in the use of the wonderful springs of Saratoga as a remedial agency.
