“Water, Water, All Around and not a drop’—(for baths.)

Ix 1846 an act was passed in England to augmeut the ‘health, comfort and welfare of populous towns and districts,” by encouraging the establishment of public baths and wash-houses, and in a few years the movement in London

alone, was patronized annually by nearly a million of bathers. It is worth noting, in this connection, that the deaths ten years after (viz. 1856) were for London and its suburbs,nearly 17,000 less than two years-(viz. 1854) before ; while at the same time the births increased nearly 3000. As the advantage of establishing baths in populous cities cannot be controverted: why has Charlottetown never realized the neces- sity of utilizing her Hillsborough waters for the “health, comfort and welfare’”’ of her inhabitants? There is no lack of the best seawater for the purpose, no want of means for providing the proper facilities; and a well planned bathing scheme, suitably located for it, would become self-supporting, and soon pay good divid- ends. Nor can it be affirmed that Charlottetown has so -perfected her sanitary arrangements as to make wash- ing superfluous. No, every thing neces- sary to success, is ready and waiting to be thrown into proper form, with only one reluctant factor. and that drawback, is the hand that Charlottetown keeps in her (LePage) cemented pocket, with an unrelenting clutch on her fat pocket-book —the hand that is never ready for any thing that possesses more public thau private advantages and profits.

The Greeks praciised frequent bathing and made much use of sea water, on account of its purifying and sirengthen- ing properties. Imperial Rome had at one time 800 Thermz; those of Nero, Titus, Domitiaa and Caracalla especially were celebrated for their great splendor. The present Church of the Carthusians at Rome, which is ove of the largest and most magnificent temples of that city, was built by Diocletian for a bath room, who, on its completion (it is said), bap- tized it with the blood of forty thousand Christian soldiers. ‘The private baths of some of the Roman villas jof the rich vied in splendor with the public Ther- me. Great basins were set round with various kinds of stone imported from the Grecian Islands; the water was con- veyed through silver pipes, to furnish beautiful cascades ; the floors were inlaid with precious gems; and statues and colonnades threw over the whole an air of completeness and grandeur that has never since been even imitated. Now, if cleanliness comes next to godliness, a Christian province (such as Prince Ed- ward Island), being so well supplied with godly teachers, ought to perceive her moral obligation to ‘‘do the one and not leave the other undone. ” She ought to supplement the sacred teachings of her pastors with the recommeudation of Sit. Paul to his Hebrew brethren, and see to it that ** their (Charlottetonian) bodies are washed with pure water;” for if the great Apostle were to pay us a visit now, he would, with good reasou, not ovly emphasize his cleansing sugges- tions, but add to it the puritying words of the prophet Isaiah, ‘“ Wash you, make you clean.” ‘The subject is vital to Charlottetown.

The Doctors and Alcohol.

It is not long since an appeal was sent by the National W. C. T. Union to a convention of over nine hundred physi- cians which was held in Minneapolis, asking the co-operation of the doctors in the temperauce work and that more care be exercised in prescribing alcoholic medicines. In the very courteous reply to their appeal, the ladies were assured of the hearty sympathy of the doctors in the Union’s work, and we doubt not that a large number of siguatures will be obtained from leading physicians who have already given testimony to the evil of alcholic stimulants upon the buman system.

The Central W.C. T. U. of Chicago, is sending to all the physicians of that city a circular letter asking that they subscribe if they can conscientiously do 80, to the following consensus of opinion prepared by leading mea and women of the profession :—

Since physicians are the administra- tors of the laws of Dietetics and Thera- peutics in all civilized countries, and alcoholic is said at the present time prescribed uaoder these laws, it seems

vast and influential body of physiciaus ef America should aid the investigation of the true nature and effect of this agent by giving public expression to our opinions. We therefore state that we believe :

lst That alcohol is a poison.

2nd That alcohol is not in any proper

advisable that we as members of the.

Srxc_e Copirrs Two Crrvs, VOL. 17.---NO. 63.

sense a food and should be eliminated from our list of Dietetics.

3rd. That alcohol in any form inter- feres with the crue digestive proress. It produces a morbid alecholie condition of the blood corpuscles which prevents their full absorption of oxygen, checks the rapidity of the blood aeration, and results in an insuilicient oxygenated blood supply. The direct action of alco- holized blood is upon the nerve centres and their fibres causing dimicutieon of ‘heir activities. or paralysis, and some degree of indigestion.

4th. That the popular idea that aleohol is @ waste arrestor and a food economizer is false. It retards metamorphosis of tissue and so promotes disease, causing pre-eminently paralysis, fatty degener- ation and sclarosis.

oth. That the nerve centres have a certsin chemical aiiinity for alcohol facilitating its accuniulation in their centres aud producing there marked de generative processes.

6th. That the force generating theory of alcohol is untenable, having beipg so proved by the tests of athletes; by travel- lers, as Livingston, Bruce, Waterton, Smollett and Weston ; by the soldiers in long exhausting marches in other coun- tries and in America,

7th. That alcohol is equally injurions in the eXtremes of heat and cold, as through its deoxygenation of the blood it reduces the animal temperature and de- presses the vital force.

8:h. Thatthe direct relation of alco- hol to insanity is now well established through insane asylum statistics.

%Xh. That the deterioration produced by aleehol in the nerve centres, has a peculiar tendency to hereditary trans- mission, causing in the descendants in- sanity, idiocy, nervous diseases,weakness of will, instability of mind and depraved appetites,

10th. That it is the duty of physicians to prescribe alcohol as they prescribe strichnine, as seldom and as sparingly as possible.

More Hurtful than Alcohol.

Sir Henry Thompson remarks in the current Nineteenth Century :—*‘* The ‘ mf&rtyr to indigestion ’ may perhaps be surprised to learn that nive out of ten persons so affected are probably not the subjects of any complaint whatever, and that the stomach at any rate is by no means necessarily faulty in its action— in short, that what is popularly termed ‘indigestion’ is rarely a disease in avy sense of the word, but merely the natural result of error in diet. For most mer it is the penalty of conformity to the eating habits of the majority; and a want of disposition or of enterprise to undertake a trial of simpler foods than those around them consume probably determines the continuance of their un- happy troubles. I have for some years past been compelled by facts which are constantly eoming before me to accept the conclusion that more mischief in the form of actual disease, of impair- ed vigour, aud of shortened life, accrues to civilized man, so far as I have observed in our own country and throughout Western and Central Europe, from érroneous habits in eating than from the habitual use of alcoholic drink, considerableas i kuow the evil of that tobe. I am not sure that a similar comparison might not be made between the respective influence of those agencies in regard of moral evil aiso,”

The ‘‘ Globe’s” Folly. (Toronto W orld.)

What sense is there in the Globe's eternally twitting National Policy men with the crime of importing goods? The Globe editors must yet have to learn what National Policy means, They must be merely on the threshold of their political education. A National Policy man does not say that portraits or uniforms cannot be got better in England than in Toronto, because an N. P. man is nota fool. Whathe saysis: Canada wants revenue, and if you choose to go abroad for what you want you must pass a tax large enough to encourage our painters and tailors to produce a better article than they do. while not so large as to prevent those who prefer the Eng- lish article from getting it. There is no inconsistency in an N. P. man paying into the national exchequer 30 per cent. on an imported uniform A contributor to the revenue is more patriotic and national than he who patronizes the home producer, if there is any truth in the Globe's charge of “protected to death.”

California raisin crop last year amounted to 150,000 boxes, and the coming crop is estimated at from 200,000 boxes to 450, ,000. At the State Viticultural Convention jlast fall, a prominent raisin grower stated {that in three years enough new vineyards would be in bearing to bring the crop of 'California raisins up to 1,000,000 boxes, |which would still be leas than one-half of |the quantity imported.
