IMMUNOPHARMACOLOGY
After graduating in 1935, he held house appointments in Edinburgh, including those with a paediatric interest. He also had teaching experience with a Rockefeller scholarship to the United States; and he carried out research in Prof. D. M. Dunlop’s department, where he studied blood-flow in peripheral vascular diseases. During Army service in the 1939-45 war, he was a medical specialist in India and Burma and was mentioned in despatches. He later remained an active member of the Territorial Army. In 1946 he was appointed consultant paediatrician to Macclesfield and Stockport, and in this post he built up a notable paediatric practice, while continuing with his research interests, especially in metabolic disease and cystic fibrosis. He was a founder member of the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism, and its president from 1964 to 1973. He is survived by his wife, two sons, and a daughter.
C.M.W. writes: individualist in all things, and he excelled in everything he did, whether in medicine, research, or medical politics-or in the garden or greenhouse, where he also ’researched’ and reaped the benefit. He was impatient with the relative inefficiency of others, yet he attracted loyalty to an exceptional degree from his staff and from patients’ families. A medical colleague rightly said that he ’floated to the top of all he undertook.’ "He

B. F. adds: "His personality and humour were irresistible, and his popularity among friends, colleagues, and patients was remarkable. A brilliant wit and urbanity created his outstanding reputation as an after-dinner speaker, and he amused and entertained a very wide circle of friends and acquaintances not only in medicine but also in law and the world at large. He would apply his charm to the great and the small, the professional and the non-professional, and he always had time for a kind word and a witticism with any who were fortunate enough to attract his attention or cross his path. He used his knowledge of modern languages in his writing and to great effect in the social intercourse he enjoyed with his colleagues. He was a founder member of the North of England Neurological Association and treasurer of the Association from its inception. He was largely responsible for developing in that Society informal yet informed clinical discussion which all members have come to enjoy and respect. Never an establishment figure, and indeed eschewing any claim to be so regarded, he devoted his life to his neurology and he became a master clinician. He was fond and proud of his family, and those of us who knew him well will never forget evenings spent at his home in Turton. We admired him during his life, we admired him during his fatal illness, and we shall never cease to admire the wonderful personality, boundless generosity, and joyous approach to life. We have a great deal to remember, and our greatest tribute to him would be to attempt in some small way to emulate his lovable characteristics."

IMMUNOLOGY may have more or less escaped the clutches of bacteriology but it has been warmly embraced by biochemistry and molecular biology. Now pharmacology is competing for favours-successfully, it seems, since together, according to the editor of a new quarterly, they have conceived immunopharmacology. Some will quibble about the child’s legitimacy. The journal’s editorial stand is that immunopharmacology is about more than just the effects of drugs on the immune reon where its limits lie, even the editorial board is divided. If immunopharmacology really is "a basic, preclinical, and clinical science of therapeutic immune regulation", as the journal’s associate editor believes, then advisory editor W. L. Ford, reviewing a book on the subject, is right to point to its unwitting practitioners already satisfactorily at home in other

disciplines. The first issue of the International journal of Immunopharmacology contains a review of immunological aspects of the practolol syndrome and six papers on the effects in animals of levamisole and other modifiers of immune responsiveness. These are hardly required reading for the clinically minded but the journal is intended for papers on immunotherapy of any type and the effects of pharmacologically active endogenous and exogenous substances in human beings as well as animals. International Journal of Immunopharmacology (edited by P. W. Mullen and J. W. Hadden) is published by Pergamon Press, Headington Hill Hall, Oxford OX3 OBW; and Maxwell House, Fairview Park, Elmsford, New York 10523. /:20.4$($45.00) per year.
DISABLEMENT IN OLD AGE A REPORTl by the Disability Alliance on provision for the disabled analyses the concept of disability and concludes that the Government’s failure to understand it has resulted in an inefficient use of resources. More than 800 000 severely disabled elderly people in the United Kingdom live in their own homes, yet many of them have incomes below or on the margins of the State definition of poverty. The report maintains that priorities in income support and in health and social services provision have not been worked out rationally or economically; it argues that what constitutes disablement should be clearly defined as the first step towards identifying a scale of needs and discriminating between degrees of severity. The health and social services made the mistake of categorising the elderly, the disabled, the mentally ill, and the mentally disabled as distinct groups without recognising that disablement was a shared feature of all the groups. The medical profession also contributed towards this kind of group segregation by treating disablement in terms of specific symptoms. The report states that planning should be concerned with the similarity of problems faced by different disabled people and with the means by which they could be compensated for their disablement. Two central strategies would be adopted: the development of a system of income support for the elderly with priority for disablement; and the establishment of effective community care. Planning for the income support would involve a definition of the severity of disablement and a change in the basis for assessment from one which concentrated on loss of faculties to one which emphasised restriction or limitation of activity. The report also favours the expansion of domiciliary services with a corresponding contraction of resources allocated to institutional care.

684 The second part of the report comments on the D.H.S.S. consultative document, A Happier Old Age. Most of the suggestions made are based on the Disability Alliance’s belief that the disabled elderly should be identified in relation to the severity of their disablement for the purposes of deciding not only their income needs but also their need for services. Recommendations include: increased responsibility for socialservice departments for housing the elderly disabled; extension of the attendance allowance; and provision of a comprehensive disablement allowance, graded according to severity of disablement.
PROJECT ON THE ROLE AND EDUCATION OF THE MIDWIFE AT the request of the Royal College of Midwives, the Nursing Education Research Unit of Chelsea College (University of London) is undertaking a project on the role and education of the midwife. As aspects of the midwife’s work are closely interrelated with that of other health professionals, including general practitioners, obstetricians, and pædiatricians, the unit feels it is important that their views are also represented in the study. During the next few weeks questionnaires will be sent to a random sample of members of these related professions throughout the country. The unit hopes that those selected will be willing to participate in the study.
