The passage discusses several medical and legal aspects from a 1925 Indian Medical Year supplement. It highlights that criminals are held responsible for their actions even when intoxicated, and drunkards face specific penalties such as compulsory detention, prohibition from obtaining alcohol, and loss of civil and voting rights. The text also mentions that homosexuality remains a criminal offense for men but not for women, and professional secrecy is not binding when it conflicts with public interest, especially in cases of infectious and venereal diseases. Additionally, the congress voted to suppress quackery and unqualified practice.
The corrigendum corrects the attribution of a paper on Stibosan in private practice, originally credited to K. N. Chatterjee, which should be S. K. Das.
The reviews section includes two books: "The Nematode Parasites of Vertebrates" by Warrington Yorke and P. A. Maplesstone, which provides a comprehensive guide to parasitic nematodes, and "Operative Cystoscopy" by E. Canny Ryall, which details the technique of cystoscopic surgery with detailed illustrations. Both books are praised for their contributions to medical knowledge and practice.The passage discusses several medical and legal aspects from a 1925 Indian Medical Year supplement.
