RISKS TO MEDICAL MEN.

The case of Linley v. Mackin, decided in the Supreme Court on Tuesday in favour of the defendant, illustrates the danger to which practitioners in the medical profession are exposed. In this case the negligence alleged against Dr. Mackin was said to have occurred four years ago, and, according to the summing up of the Judge, the case turned on whether a certain lotion contained lead. The lotion was left, it appears, in a cupboard with some other bottles containing medicine for about three years, and in April last some of it was sent to the Government Analyst, who found lead in it. As the Judge put it, it would be most dangerous to think that three years after a prescription had been given', the man who received the mixture could have it exhumed and analysed, and on the strength of that analysis alone could bring an action for malpractice. The action, it appeared from the evidence, has been hanging over Dr. Mackin for the last eighteen months, and now a jury, after five minutes' retirement, have found that the plaintiff had no case. The costs of such an action and of the Commission in Australia must be very heavy, and the whole proceedings illustrate the kind of attack to which medical practitioners are exposed. Dr. Mackin will have the sympathy of many of the public, in addition I to his personal friends.

Fresh from his tour in the Mediterranean with his wife, Dr. Mackin, of Wellington, turned up the other day (writes the London correspondent of the Dunedin Evening Star), and he is now taking post-graduate courses at the Eye Hospital, Moor fields, and the Ear and Throat Hospital, at Golden Square, until his departure for the Colony, which will probably take place in May by the Waiwera. The doctor's tramp abroad embraced visits to Tunis and the ruins of Carthage, Malta, Alexandria, Cairo, Port Said, and Beyrout, Balbec in Syria, Damascus, Nazareth, Jaffa, Jerusalem, Jericho, the Dead Sea, and Bethlehem, at which place he and Mrs. Mackin arrived just in time for the interesting ceremonies that mark Christmastide. During the whole of their two months' round they suffered but one wet day, and in Jericho they saw the roses in full bloom, and walked about with the thermometer showing 82 in the shade. They came Home via Malta and Liverpool, and went thence to Ireland to spend a week or 10 days with relatives. in Belfast Dr. Mackin foregathered with the Very Rev. Dr. Waters and the Ven. Archdeacon Devoy, who, I am rejoiced to hear, are both in great form at present.

ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES
The District Coroner (Mr. J. Ashcroft) held an inquest to-day on the death of Mrs. Bibby, boarding house-keeper, of Cuba-street, who died suddenly last night. Dr. Mackin expressed the opinion that death was due to apoplexy, and a verdict to that effect was returned.

Perhaps William Quinn provided the bricks for Patrick Mackins new doctors surgery.

Dr. P. Mackin, M.D., F.R.C.S.D. (of Wellington), and Mrs. Mackin have lately taken a flat at Talgarth Mansions, West Kensington, which will be their headquarters for a few months (writes our London correspondent under date 25th October). At present Dr. Mackin is doing post-graduate work at the West London Hospital, and at other hospitals in the metropolis, in order to see all that is lost in his profession. In December he will leave for the Continent in order to visit the hospitals at Paris, Heidelberg, Berlin, and Vienna, and will stay on the Continent until about the middle of February, when he and his wife will start on their return journey to Wellington, where they hope to arrive at the beginning of April, travelling probably by way of Suez.

That much-travelled physician, Dr. Mackin, is moving again. Yesterday he was in the Post Graduate Hospital, at London, with his shirt-sleeves rolled up. To-day he "stops, for his tread is on an Empire's dust." He is on the field of Waterloo. Tomorrow he expects to be in Greece, or Rome, or Jerusalem, or it may be Thebes. It's somewhere around the Nile, anyway. Looks like developing a turn for archaological pursuits now. One thing is certain, that Dr. P. Mackin is "circumventing" the globe, as old Sam Weller would say.

Anyone to travel, and desiring to get as as possible into the square should just wait and get hints from the medico.

Dr. Mackin saw the Lord Mayor's show in London. He was one of half-a-million of people (or was it a million and a-half?) who looked on at the splendour of a day which had cost something top-side of £4000 of ratepayers' cash. The scene is said to have been one of unparalleled grandeur. At any rate, the boss director of the show laid himself out against all odds to lick creation on the job, and London said he did it. Dr. Mackin didn't argue with him, as far as we can understand, but he reckoned that a picnic procession on the Hutt Road, given that the said road was in its normal state, would provide heaps more fun to the mile. The genial doctor, who has boxed the whole compass of Ireland, Germany, Italy, Prussia, Russia, and the Islands of the Seas, will likely happen back this way about April Fool's Day, according to a previous forecast.

Dr. Mackin, of Wellington, who has been on a tour of the world, has just returned. He spent much time in Japan, and also visited the United States, London, Norway, and Ireland, and his old home in Rostrevor, County Down.

After over twelve months in the East and Egypt, Dr. Mackin returned to Wellington by the Manuka from Sydney to-day. He had about time to have breakfast, and then at 9 a.m. resumed his practice as usual. He returned heavily freighted with impressions and experiences of the East. "I did the thing thoroughly," he assured a Post reporter to-day. Java, and the Dutch East Indies generally, made a. strong appeal to Dr. Mackin. He thought the Dutch had discovered the secret of tropical colonisation and management. The Japanese were a pleasant, happy people under Dutch control, better than the Indians under the English, he thought. They were frugal, industrious, and law-abiding. After, seeing the Durbar at Delhi, Dr. Mackin "did" India from the Khyber Pass to Tuticorin. He went up to Srinagar, in Kashmir, travelled in ekka, tonga, gharry, automobile, also by rail and steamboat. After India, Egypt. Here Dr. Mackin was amazed to see what wonders were being carried out by the British in that ancient land, wonders that would have impressed the Pharaohs even more than the miracles of Moses. Two crops a year were now possible by reason of the British engineering works on the Nile; Khartoum, surrounded by desert, was a large, well built, up-to-date, and modern city., and growing fast. Damascus, too, that ancient city, had its electric trams and electric light. The whole of the East, vast as it 'is, said Dr. Mackin, was in the melting-pot, and becoming Westernized in the process. The doctor saw a little of the Turku-Italian War, for he was at the bombardment of Beirut. While in London he did a great deal of what is known as post-graduate work, necessitating constant attendance at the hospitals.

A DOCTOR'S TOUR

Dr. P. Mackin, Of Vivian-street, leaves by the Warrimoo for Sydney on Friday i uext, in order* to catch the S.S. Mataram, which leaves that port for Java. on 1st September. After spending a few Weeks in Java, Dr. Mackin purposes travelling through Busman, via Singapore, with Calcutta as an objective. Thence he will begin a tour embracing the greater part of India in circuit, travelling north, west, and south to Ceytoil. Dr. Mackin expects to spend a couple of months on this part of his trip, which will include a visit to the Durbar. His itinerary includes Egypt and Soudan in January, to be followed by a run through Western Asia, thence through Turkey in Europe to Austria, via the Danube. lie hopes to return via Siberia and through the Orient. While in Europe Dr. Mackin intends doing general post-graduate work in Vienna, Paris, and Berlin. The tour will occupy the best part of twelve months, and during that period Dr. Ernest Boxer, who has been associated with Dr. Mackin for sometime, will have charge of the practice.
