I3o THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF TUBERCULOSIS NORTH.WESTERN TUBERCULOSIS SOCIETY. THE above Society has lately been founded to provide opportunities for Tuberculosis Officersand other medical practitioners specially interested in tuberculosis, and who are resident in Lancashire and Westmoreland, to meet and discuss matters of common interest. The objects of the Society are similar to those of the Tuberculosis Society--viz., the study and discussion of all subjects relating to the control and eradication of tuberculosis. The Society is at present, however, quite an independent body, and it has been decided that the question of corporate affiliation to the Tuberculosis Society or the Society of Medical Officers of Health be deferred for consideration at a future meeting, when it is hoped to obtain a full and representative attendance of those interested. The original members of the Society are, or propose to become, individual members of the Tuberculosis Society, while several are also individual members of the Society of Medical Officers of Health. Neither of these bodies in its present form, however, meets the need which is felt for a local Tuberculosis Society for the North-Western area. The next meeting will be held m September, and it is hoped that all medical practitioners in Lancashire and Westmoreland who are specially interested in tuberculosis will join the Society. It is proposed to hold six meetings a year at convenient centres. The President is Dr. G. Lissant Cox. Further particulars will be gladly furnished by the Hon. Secretary, Dr. George Jessel, Tuberculosis Dispensary, Wigan, Lancashire. THE HENRY PHIPPS INSTITUTE. THE Henry Phipps Institute exists for the Study, Treatment, and Prevention of Tuberculosis. It now forms a department of the University of Pennsylvania. The Executive Director is Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, and there are Clinical, Socioiogical, and Pathological Sections.

NORTH.WESTERN TUBERCULOSIS SOCIETY. THE above Society has lately been founded to provide opportunities for Tuberculosis Off icersand other medical practitioners specially interested in tuberculosis, and who are resident in Lancashire and Westmoreland, to meet and discuss matters of common interest.

The Society is at present, however, quite an independent body, and it has been decided that the question of corporate affiliation to the Tuberculosis Society or the Society of Medical Officers of Health be deferred for consideration at a future meeting, when it is hoped to obtain a full and representative attendance of those interested. The original members of the Society are, or propose to become, individual members of the Tuberculosis Society, while several are also individual members of the Society of Medical Officers of Health. Neither of these bodies in its present form, however, meets the need which is felt for a local Tuberculosis Society for the North-Western area. The next meeting will be held m September, and it is hoped that all medical practitioners in Lancashire and Westmoreland who are specially interested in tuberculosis will join the Society. I t is proposed to hold six meetings a year at convenient centres. The President is Dr. G. Lissant Cox. Further particulars will be gladly furnished by the Hon.
