    departure for Toulon whilst waiting for an answer from« Government as to whether they were inclined to send a Medical Commissioner. After waiting for some time I started on my own accord, and though, as I have said, introductions were most kindly sent me by the Govern- ment, the real oppo-rtunity was lost—I was too late. What cases continued to occur were in the suburbs, often, nay generally, in the middle of the night, and were thus unavailable to me, or when brought to hospital were in the reaction stage. I venture to suggest, in conclusion, that two hollow needles like those which I have shown, one blunt and one sharp, together with a piece of india rubber tubing to connect it with a common large syringe without its piston, or else a funnel, be supplied to hospitals. A is a common hospital pewter enema syringe without its pisi and with cover removed.
