Perspectives in Public Health

The Annual Meeting of the British Medical Association was held in London, on July 30th and 31st, and August 1st and 2nd. The President, Sir J. Russell Reynolds, F.R.S., gave an inaugural address on, "The Power of Life in Life." He reviewed the work of the Association and the progress of medical knowledge since the previous meeting of the Association in London, in 1873, referring in the course of his address to the late Dr. E. A. Parkes, whose labours in the cause of Hygiene are so much revered.
