Title: Survey of student attitudes Abstract: Since the first world conference on medical education, this subject has become increasingly studied by innumerable reports and surveys of student opinion. The Report of the Royal Commission on Medical Education has given the subject further impetus and is likely to result in far reaching changes. Of these a scope for more active participation by the student is among the most significant. For students to assume a responsible and active role in Medical Education, the "Chestpiece" has considered it very important to survey the opinions of students. This survey is an attempt to assess the more important characteristics of the average medical student, and to make an evaluation of the common teaching methods.

Title: Acute barbiturate poisoning Abstract: One of the landmarks of twentieth century medicine and therapeutics was undoubtedly the synthesis of the first barbituric acid derivative with hypnotic properties. Barbitone, the dethyl ester of barbituric acid (malonyl mea) was first synthesized by Professor E. Fischer and Professor J. Mering in 1902. After a series of controlled tests on animals and humans, a year later, barbitone was exhibited on the market as Veronal, and was advertised widely as the panacea for all forms of insomnia and anxiety. Barely four years later, in 1906, the first fatality due to acute barbiturate poisoning following an overdosage of barbitone, was recorded.
