the lymphatics iuto the blood vessels was merely inference, or the result 

 of observation ? 



Mr. Chas. Stewart enquired whether when a person was kept in perfect 

 rest during the day as well as by night the periodicity continued ? Was 

 the altered condition of habit the cause in any way of the phenomena ? 



Dr. Cobbold regretted that the lateness of the hour prevented him from 

 fully answering these questions, but as to the water drinking this had been 

 gone into by Dr. Manson with very great care, and particulars of the cases 

 of 10 Filarious patients were given who answered ** Yes " in every case to 

 the question, " Do you drink cold water ? " As regarded the education of 

 these two Chinese, the evidence showed that Dr. Manson took infinite 

 trouble with them, and watched them, and confirmed their observations for 

 many days. As regarded the position of rest, he hardly saw what that could 

 have to do with it, and the subject of the Migration from the Lymphatics 

 had already formed the material of a paper recently laid before the club. 



The thanks of the club were unanimously voted to Dr. Manson and Dr. 

 Cobbold.
