The Royal Society's Committee has issued a report titled "What is the Best Test for Colour Blindness?" which recommends avoiding tests that involve naming colors and suggests the wool test of Holmgren as the simplest and most efficient method. The committee also criticizes the methods used by the Board of Trade and railway companies, noting that they are often defective. They emphasize the importance of thorough examinations by competent examiners, including color and form tests, to ensure reliable selection of personnel for special purposes. The report calls for voluntary reform to address these issues before the state intervention becomes necessary. The Principles and Practice of Medicine by William Osler, M.D., F.R.C.P., is a comprehensive text covering a wide range of medical topics. Despite the challenge of condensing medical knowledge into a reasonable length, Osler manages to cover typhoid fever and other subjects in over 1,000 closely printed pages. The Glasgow Medico-Chirurgical Society presented several case studies and demonstrations. Dr. R. Kennedy discussed a patient with brachial plexus compression, showing partial recovery after surgery. Drs. J. McGregor Robertson and J. M'Kendrick demonstrated a method for making blood films. Drs. T. K. Monro and Workman presented a case of thrombosis in the mesenteric veins. Dr. Renton reported on two cases of Gasserian ganglion removal for epileptiform neuralgia. Dr. Edington shared notes on gall stone removal, detailing the surgical procedures and outcomes. The Forfarshire Medical Association also presented cases, including a patient with a Mauser bullet wound and various surgical procedures such as ovarian cyst removal and uterine cancer treatment. Dr. C. Templeman provided a summary of typhus fever cases, highlighting age distribution and mortality rates.The Royal Society's Committee has issued a report titled "What is the Best Test for Colour Blindness?" which recommends avoiding tests that involve naming colors and suggests the wool test of Holmgren as the simplest and most efficient method.
