the tissues,it assumed the ulcerative form. In addition, there remain a considerable number of casesin which the cause of the condition is obscure. Age, sex, and occupation.—Like the simple form of endo-carditis, and like acute rheumatism, the affection seems morecommon in young than in old people. Males, because of theirbeing more exposed to depressing external influences, alcoholicexcesses, etc., are probably more liable to be attacked thanfemales, though many writers state that the liability to theaffection is equal in the two sexes. Persons whose occupa-tions necessitate exposure to cold, want, and other injuriousexternal influences, probably suffer more frequently than otherpeople, but no particular trade seems to predispose to thedisease. Pathological anatomy.—In the majority of cases the leftheart is the chief or only seat of the lesion, but the right heartis much more frequently affected than in simple endocarditis. As in the simple form of inflammation, the valves are the

Studio portrait of JR Selwyn and his children
Here we have a studio photograph of John Richardson Selwyn (1844-1898), son of Bishop Selwyn and second master of Selwyn College, with his three surviving children from his first marriage. His first wife, Clara Long Innes (1855-1877) had died in childbirth in New Zealand leaving JR Selwyn with the three young children shown in the photograph, Margaret, Rebecca and Steven. The baby, also named Clara, died soon after. This photograph was taken at the studio of the Whitlock Brothers in Wolverhampton which was decorated with typical Victorian rustic arches and furniture.
This photograph was most likely taken in 1878 when JR Selwyn came back to England following his father’s death at Lichfield. JR Selwyn had already become bishop of Melanesia and returned there to undertake his missionary work, while suffering more and more from rheumatism and malarial sciatica.
During another visit to England in 1885 JR Selwyn married again to Annie Mort and they had three children, Dorothy, Mary and George. JR Selwyn continued to suffer ill health while in Melanesia and was forced to return to England in 1890. He was invited to become Master of Selwyn College in 1893 and he held the position until his death on 12th February 1898. He had travelled to Pau in the south of France on medical advice hoping for improved health in a more congenial climate. The portrait of JR Selwyn which hangs in the Hall at Selwyn College was commissioned after his death and was undertaken by Lowes Cato Dickinson.

Hura crepitans is a tree growing to 40 meters high. It can be distinguished by its many dark, pointed (conical) spines. Its common name ‘Monkey-no-climb is in reference to the characteristic spiny trunk. The leaves are papery thin, heart-shaped and up to 60 cm long. The berry look-alike structure is actually the male flowers that have no petals. Male flowers grow on long spikes; female flowers are solitary. Male flowers are ovoid to conical (5 by 2 cm), mostly dark red in colour. Flower stalks (pedicels) up to 10 cm long; female flowers without pedicel; fruiting pedicel pendant to 6 cm; fruit oblate (3-5 x 8-9 cm) in diameter, reddish brown on colour, concave at the tip and base, longitudinally grooved. Fruits are pumpkin-shaped capsules, 3-5 cm in length with a diameter of 5-8 cm; it has 16 carpels arranged radially around the central axis. Seeds are flattened and about 2 cm in diameter. The fruit of Hura crepitans opens with an explosive sound into segments, hence the name ‘dynamite tree’. Seeds are dispersed up to 14 metres away. Hura crepitans is cultivated for medicinal and ornamental purposes. The latex is used as arrow poison and is said to cause ailing teeth to fall out. As medicine, it treats skin diseases, rheumatism, intestinal worms and has been used in the United States of America to prepare tear gas; bark extract is used to treat leprosy and wood used in light construction.
