Sharpness 95 Talk in the Studio 95 To Correspondents 96 APPLICATIONS OF PHOTOGRAPHY TO MEDICAL AND SURGICAL SCIENCE. Wk call the attention of our readers to an eloquent paper, by Dr. Wright, on the aids afforded by photography to the progress of the art of healing, and we earnestly second the appeal made in the paper to all photographers who may be called upon to photograph phases of disease or abnormal physical conditions, to send duplicates of such work to the Librarian of the Royal Medico-Chirurgical Society, at 53, Berners Street. In making such contributions to a collection which may afford invaluable assistance in the study of disease, photo graphers will be paying a debt as well as assisting a good work ; for many who have ably contributed to the advance ment of photography, as well as to the progress of science generally, have been medical men. To repeat the amirable Words of Dr. Wright: “ In the fair Temple of the Sciences the mason’s marks on many of the corner stones are those of members of the medical profession.” Without referring to the early history of photography for examples, it would be easy to recall a number of names, besides those mentioned by Dr. Wright in his paper, which are honourably associ ated with especial branches of photography, as well as with medical science : to Dr. Diamond’s contributions to numerous departments of photography we referred in our last; the name of Dr. Hill Norris is very familiar as associated with, perhaps, the completest knowledge of the principles of dry plate photography of all who have made this branch their study; the names of Dr. Maddox and Dr. Woodward are especially identified with progress in microscopic photo graphy ; the name of Dr. Anthony is associated with various valuable contributions to tho literature of photography; Dr. Wright himself is a highly skilful photographer; and many others, amongst whom we may mention Mr. Mayland, now devote themselves to professional photography, who commenced life by the practice of the medical profession. We feel assured that wo merely need to remind our readers of the aid they can thus afford to the art of relieving human suffering in making such contributions, to ensure a cordial response from all our readers. It is only necessary, there fore, that tho aid they can confer should be impressed on their memories. In photographing cases such as we referred to, valuable hints may be derived from Dr. Wright’s paper; and in sending the examples to the Royal Medico- Chirurgical Society, it will be wise to obtain particulars from the medical attendant in charge of the case. Where this is neglected, the photographer should, at least, send age and sex of the patient; duration of the tumour, or other abnormal condition, in case of disease ; statement, in case of malformations, of whether accidental or congenital, and such other leading facts as may be easily ascertained. ON THE MEDICAL USES OF PHOTOGRAPHY. BY H. G. WRIGHT, M.D.* By permission of tho Council of the Royal Medico-Chirurgi cal Society, I am enabled to place before you this evening the collection of professional photographs recently com menced as an addition to the fine library of that Society. I purpose making these the pretext for troubling you with a few remarks as to the medical uses of photography. From the very earliest times medicine has been equally acquisitive and inquisitive ; unscrupulously appropriating to its own special purposes every discovery in science and every invention of art. When the great medical school of Alexan dria was destroyed, about a thousand years ago, the burnt-out doctors, then thrown on the world, found among their Arab conquerors a new science so attractive to their professional minds, that its pursuit was almost allowed to supplant the study of medicine. This was Chemistry, of which the principal early professors were doctors. Its influence ex tended far into the dark ages of medicine, when the advan tages constantly accruing from the study of chemistry led men to consider as legitimate offspring of science those which were only its bastard children. Astrology and the eccentric doctrines about amulets, sympathies, talismans and charms, were of course mere iijnes fatui. The blind leading the blind, they both fell into the inevitable ditch ; for the doctor was not much better off than the patient, so far as practical usefulness went; like the much bothered Pilot of neas — “Ilie diem noctemque ne gat discernere clo, Nec meminisse viam medi Palinurus in und." This was the time of the greatest scientific darkness, when it seemed as though men gave up their reason, their common sense, and their trust in God, to sit at the feet of any un scrupulous impostor who chose to lie largely and call his rubbish science. But it is unsafe for us to cast a stone, lest some offended ghost of that mediaeval time rise and ask unpleasant questions about spirit-rapping, table-turning, clairvoyance, the Davenport Brothers, the Agapemone, and the Books of Mormon. It was the deep darkness before the dawn. With the revival of learning, philosophy was taken off her stilts. Then truths which had long been waiting on the threshold came trooping in; for Truth is always represented as a woman, and therefore requires the door to be opened for her. I remember, many years ago, watching in the Bay of Callao how the sea-gulls, in great flocks, would pounce down on shoals of passing fish, each of them diving and remain ing under water for an almost incredible time. In this interval there would settle on the surface a number of pelicans; and as each of the poor little gulls come to the surface, the knowing old bird would wrest his fish from him, and stow it away in his pouch for future use. During tho last two centuries, medical science has seized, with similar * Bead before the Photographic Society, February 12th.
