MY DEAR MILNE,

Liverpool, December 6, 1906. WILL you kindly forward copies of this letter immediately to the Royal Colleges of Surgeons and Physicians, as, I forgot to give the following information in connection with our scheme for a re-organised course, as I think it ought to be put at once before them.

It is stated in the papers sent, in connection with subject 4 (Clinical Medicine and Surgery) of the proposed course, that the instruction will be given by the physicians of the Royal Southern and other hospitals. I ought to have stated that we hope that "the other hospitals" will shortly include all the principal hospitals in Liverpool. The Professional Committee has passed a proposal to ask all the physicians and surgeons of these hospitals to become clinical lecturers of the School in respect to any cases of tropical medicine or surgery which may come under their charge in the said hospitals. It should be pointed out to the Royal Colleges of Surgeons and Physicians that many cases of tropical medicine now go into other hospitals besides the Royal Southern Hospital, and that by this change, all such cases will probably be open to study by the students of the School, so that the clinical material of the School promises to be greatly enhanced. From enquiries made by me some time ago, I estimated that nearly a hundred cases of tropical diseases go annually to the Liverpool hospitals besides those which are treated at the Royal Southern Hospital.

Yours, &c.,

RONALD Ross.

It is stated in the papers sent, in connection with subject 4 (Clinical Medicine and Surgery) of the proposed course, that the instruction will be given by the physicians of the Royal Bouthern and other hospitals. I ought to have stated that we hope that "the other hospitals" will shortly include all the principal hospitals in Liverpool. The Professional Committee has passed a proposal to ask all the physicians and surgeons of these hospitals to become clinical lecturers of the School in respect to any cases of tropical medicine or surgery which may come under their charge in the said hospitals.
