Dr. Fitz Randolph Winslow, class of 1906, of Hinton, Va., paid a flying visit to the Hospital recently. * * * * * Dr. J. W. Hering, class of 1855, of Westminster and State Comptroller, who has been visiting his son and daughter-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. Joseph T. Hering, at the St. Paul, Baltimore, has returned to his home, in Westminster. * * * * * Amongst those who responded to toasts at the recent banquet of the local branch of the Haverford College Alumni Association was Dr. Henry M. Thomas. * * * * * Dr. Fitz Randolph Winslow writes from Hinton, Va., in the Valley of the Shenandoah, the garden spot of Virginia, and for picturesque scenery unexcelled in no part of the world, that he is doing nicely. He has seen three goitres and heard of a wonderful cure for the same from an old mountain woman. She took her own medicine, and claims to have been benefited, so he gives the recipe: Put your hands behind your back, bend over and take a horse's head between your teeth. Unfortunately, he forgot to find out the statuo quo of the horse, so you might try the dead or the quick, as suits your convenience. Her goitre is still very apparent, but, sad to relate, she has no teeth left with which to finish the job. This is only one specimen of the gross ignorance and superstition of the hill people. They treat or mistreat themselves often when ill principally by making teas of various herbs, such as boneset, etc. Skunk oil is a panacea both internally and externally. He expects no respectable disease can live in the same neighborhood with such an odoriferous medicament. * * * * * Dr. John Chaplain Travers, class of 1895, of Cambridge, who recently left for the Philippines, where he will enter the government service, gave a farewell entertainment before leaving at the residence of Capt.

Mayo, of Rochester, Minn., one of the renowned Mayo brothers, has accepted the invitation of the Faculty of Physic to deliver a course of lectures on diseases on the thyroid gland in the fall. * * * * *
