SIR,-With reference to the report in the JOURNAL of the 4th inst., of a paper on the above subject by Dr. Hughes Bennett, will you do me the favour to give space in your next issue to the few following words? I. It is not true that any man at Netley ever had " the ointment of the biniodide of mercury rubbed into his side twice, and sometimes thrice, daily". 2. No man was ever "furnished with two large boxes of the ointment" to be used as described in the report. If the man exhibited at the meeting of the Society in Edinburgh took any of the ointment in question away with him, he did so without authority, and without the knowledge of any of the officers of the Royal Victoria Hospital ; and if he used what was thus improperly obtained in the manner described by Dr. Bennett, the man is alone responsible for whatever consequences followed. I am, etc., WV. C. MACLEAN. Royal Victoria Hospital, Netley, Feb. 6th, I871.

[Read before the South Midland Branch, Mlay 21, 1857.] AMONGST the many sources of anxiety to which the onerous duties of our profession subject us, I know of none more harassing and painful to the sensitive mind than that of being called upon to exercise our art in combating a severe attack of puerperal convulsions. The suddenness of the seizure; the frequently fatal character of it; the distance it may be from the opportunity of consultation, as well as the absence of needful appliances in the country; the alarming and frightful character which the disease assumes; the terror and incapacity into which the feminine assistants at a labour are thrown; the rush of equally incompetent neighbours; with the hurry-skurry, the clatter, the crying, and the distraction of the whole tribe,are the features of a scene of confusion which, I think, can scarcely be paralleled in the history of human tribulation. Yet, in the midst of this "confusion worse confounded" must the doctor remain seemingly unnerved, buckling on his armour for the contest, and ready with his panoply of judgment and skill to meet the enemy as best he can. The odds are fearful; but glorious is the victory. In the few remarks which I am about to make on the subject of puerperal convulsions, it is not my intention to enter largely into the theory of this obscure disorder. I shall merely present facts which have come under my own observation, and draw inferences from the results of my own practice. It has been my lot to encounter many cases of puerperal convulsions, but I shall confine myself on this occasion to only

CASES have, from time to time, occurred, which have induced many physiologists to assert the possibility of a woman again conceiving after shIe has become pregnant. The phenomenon thus produced has received the name of SUPERFETATION; and, although rare, it is worthy of consideration, both from the interest which is attached to it as a physiological occurrence, and from the possibility of its giving rise to medico-legal questions, affecting the reputation or welfare of the individuals concerned. It is not my intention, however, to enter into any discussion on the latter subject; and I will therefore merely quote the words of Capuron in illustration of its possible importance. " Quoique cette question ne se presente pas frequemment, elle peut etre d'un grand interet sous le rapport de la medecine legale. Une veuve, apres etre ac._ouchee d'un premier enfant, peut accoucher quelque temps apres d'un second, dont les collateraux contestent la legitimite, parce qu'i]s n'ont aucune idee de la superfetation. I1 peut arriver encore que cette veuve se remarie bient6t apres ses relevailles, et qu'elle accouche, peu de temps apres ce second manage, d'un second enfant a terme et tre'sviable. 11 s'agit alors de decider auquel des deux maris appartient le second enfant." L I purpose then to confine my observations to the consideration of Superfaetation as a physiological phenomenon. It will be impossible to entirely determine whether it actually took place in all the cases alleged to have occurred; but we may, from a careful examination of these cases, and an impartial consiJe1ration of the opinions of the various authors who have written on the subject, be able to draw some probable inferences, while we are at the same time enabled to see more clearly what additional data are required for the perfect comprehension of a subject so difficult of investigation. The occurrence of cases which gave rise to the theory of Superfcetation was not unnoticed by the ancients. A work 7rep KIutoc has
