WILLIAM Eassy,M.D. Brux.Westgate, Peterborough, Feb. 15th, 1897.

To the Editors of THE LANCET.

SIRS,-" Hygienist" can obtain full particulars as to hire or purchase-of lanterns for lecturing from Messrs. Newton and Co., 3, Fleet-street,Temple Bar, who also have a large supply of lantern slides illustrative-of hygiene; from Mr. Walter Tyler, 148, Waterloo-road, S.E.; or from.Mr. Luscombe Toms, 78, Queen Victoria-street, B.C., among others. The-use of oil or lime light for the lantern is a matter of importance,depending on the presence or otherwise of gas-fittings in the lecture-room and the experience of the operator. If, when "Hygienist" has.applied for details to either of the above firms, I can give him anyfurther advice or assistance I shall be pleased to do so.

I am, Sirs, yours truly,The Lindens, Putney, S.W., Feb. 15th, 1897. J. GAY.
