DYSENTERY.
1 REVIVIFYING AND RESTORATIVE, TREATMENT.
Second, perhaps, only to Malaria is the suffering caused by Dysentery, which is known by the intense pain and difficulty with which the bowels act, and by the passage of mucus and blood.
The treatment which may be regarded as classical is the administration of 15 to 20 grains of Ipecacuanha ir water, and repeat ing the dose every three or four hours. If begun early, this will nearly always give relict and arrest mischief. Only liquid nourishment should be given and, of course, the doctor should be summoned when possible. Ho will, no doubt, prescribe

THE LATE ME WILLIAM KESWICK.
*KIE: EXPERIENCES IN JAPAN,
The Japan Chronicle mentions that the late Mr. William Keswick, who landed in Japan in 1859, was the first foreigner to buy a lot of land at Yokohama, No. 1, on which Messrs. Jardine, Matheson's offices, now stand, and was to some extent respon- sible for the adoption of the site of Teko- hame as the port of foreign trade for Yedo Bay. Our contemporary says As most of our readers will be aware, the original site selected for the port and named in the treaties was Kanagawa. After this had been granted, the Japanese authorities became somewhat nervous-

wards proved-of what might happen if one of the foreigners encountered numerous daimyo processions which then wonded their way to Yedo, passing through Kanagawa, which was on the Tokaido.
As a reault they hurriedly began making preparations for the site on which foreigners should reside and carry on their business across the bay at the little fishing village of Yokohama, which was quite out of the line of the Tokaido. When the foreign representatives saw what was being done, they proteated that the treaties were not being observed, fear- ing that the Japanese would endeavour to make the spit of land upon which Yoko hama was situated a sort of Deshima. In reply to these protests, the Japanese dilated on the advantages of the port, especially on the depth of water, which permitted vessels of considerable size to anchor near the shore, while this was impossible at Kanagawa.

CONVINCING MEDICAL TESTIMONY,
Though only twenty-five years of age when he was appointed to open a branch of Messrs. Jardine & Co. in Japan, Mr. Keswick took a prominent part in the public affairs of the little community at Yokohama almost from the first, and it was at his house that the first publie meet- ing recorded to have been beld at Yoko. hama took place.

All these facts have been vouched for by hundreds of doctors practising throughout the length and breadth of China, as well as in other countries whose climate makes dysentery a common disease. These doctors have written letters over their own signatures describing the results they have obtained. Here are extracts from one or two of such letters, although, unfortunately, in accord-on trade, contrary to treaty A com- AND CIGARETTES obtainable, consistent with price. ance with medical etiquette, the names of the physicians cannot be mentioned.

Dr. H. H. W. H. Babugarh, United Provinces, writes have much pleasure in certifying to the value of Sanatogen in cases of dysentery, enteric fever and other exhausting diseases. I have used it regularly now in my practice for the past two years, and in no single instance have I been dis- appointed with its results.
I can honestly affirm that many of my worst cases owed their recovery to Sanateges. I could quote numerous cases where the administration of Sanatogen was followed by immediate and marked amelioration of the symptoms. 1 cannot speak too highly of its value, and 1 certainly consider it the best of artificial foods."

mittes was formed, of which Mr. Keswick appears to have been the Chairman, to frame a memorial, which was a formidable document indeed. One passage is of considerable interest .even to-day, World-wide reputation. especially as the legend has grown up that until foreigners entered with their com- mercial" methods into the Paradise of Japan, the Japanese were as innocent as our reputed first parents in the Garden of Eden. That the Japanese in those early days had something of the wisdom of the serpent if not of the harmlessness of the dove may be judged by the follow ing extract from the memorial:-
"The non-falfilment of contracts by merchants in a position to carry out their engagements appears to us in the light of a grievance against the Govern ment, as it is in its power to enforce their observance. (Of course there were no Courts in those days to which for-- eigners could apply in the case of being defrauded by Japanese.) It is needless to recapitulate cases, as the archives of the Consulate can furnish you with abundant proof of how constantly and shamelessly the native merchants break faith with foreigners, and depart from their engagements with the apparent approval of their rulers. One case, however, may be mentioned, which was brought before your notice by Mr. Kes- wick on the 17th of February, 1880 (ie, little more than six months after the port had been opened.) The contractor. was Mitsui Haiziro, a large merchant of this place, and said to be the wealthiest in Japan, connected with the Government, and acting as its banker throughout the Empire. The produce contracted for was silk and oil; but only the most triding quantity of each was delivered. This case has been in your hands for nearly a year, and you are doubtless well aware what stops the Japanese Government has taken to anforce the observance of mercantile engagements upon its subjects.? Mr. Keswick appears to bave left Japan for Hongkong, where the greater part of his life in the Far East was spent, within five years of the opening of Yokohama, being succeeded by Mr-Gaver.

MR. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN ON MEDICAL RESEARCH.
Speaking at a meeting held at the Man- sion House on February 29th in support of a scheme to raise £10,000 for the exten- sion of the London School of Tropical Medicine, Mr. Lewis Harcourt read a letter from Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, under whose auspices the-London School was founded, in which he said
I do not think that anything given to this object will be thrown' away, and all who take an interest in our Colonies must-see that these diseases, which are special to tropical climates, are the great obstacle at present to their development. I hope that your appeal will meet with a generous responde, Mr. Harcourt announced a donation of 2500 from the Treasury. He mentioned that the Treasury were spending £8,000's year on the development of tropical medi- cine, and the bulk of £5,000, which had heen spent during the last five years in
