The deadly lock. juw germs ever lurking in the London street dust found their way into the. wound, and ten days later the early symp toms of stiffness and pain in the jaw muscles showed themselves. Admitted to St. Bartholomew's, anti-tetanic serum was at once administered in the ordinary way but failed to prevent the development of the disease. The unusual procedure of injecting the serum directly into the patient's spinal canal was then adopted in the hope that the necessity of amputat- ing the man's thumb and so destroying his chance of earning a livelihood) might be obviated. As only the slightest abate- ment of the symptoms resulted a second large dose of the serum was injected on. the following day into the spinal cord and at the same time a small portion of the fleshy part of the thumb, including the site of the original wound, was excised. Immediate improvement followed and two days later two ten-spoonfuls of a weak carbolic acid solution were injected into a vein in the arm as a final precaution, From then on the patient has made uA- interrupted progress towards recovery and is to be discharged cured to-day: "The case is of intense interest," said one of the hospital staff, as proving the

21 YEARS OF CRICKET. -

A FAMOUS PLAYER'S BOOK,

There are few people better qualified to talk on matters pertaining to Test Match cricket than A. A. Lilley, the famous Warwickshire and England wicket-keeper. For many years Lilley was regarded as the first wicket-keeper in the land, and although perhaps there came others who might have disputed the right for inter national honours, Lilley's batting and his splendid knowledge of the game always ensured for him a place in an England

Broadly speaking," said Dr.. David, I must admit the impeachment that most public school boys are unable to express themselves either in writing or peech." He had been struck lately by the fact that boy altar boy who had shown himself no fool in other branches of work broke down hopelessly when he came to English. Some boys seemed incapable of any appreciation of English literature. The danger was that because the best equipped boys attained to power of self-expression there was a tendency to be satisfied with the whole of the public school system. He saked them to believe that many headmasters were pro- foundly dissatisfied with this state of affairs, and were striving hard to invent popular new types of English lessons which would, by inductive and other methods, place the development of a So far as English cricket is concern- | faculty before the amassing of facts. ed," adde Lilley, it is difficult to estimate the debt it owes to the world's champion," and, with this sentiment the cricketing world will surely agree.
