First—Sterilization of miik. Secon, and best—The use of milk only of cows proved to be free from disease.

The first method was troublesom?, costly and unsatisfactory. The second under present conditions was almost impossible of attainment, for a tubercu- lous cow may give a good deal of milk and be in good condition, but for- tunately there a test ajmost infallible -~the “tuberculin test,’ but the difficulty is as to ite uni- versal appligation, for until owners of cows are Tiadie shown that it is to their own interest and advantage not to tuberculous cOws can it ever be complished. Here the Dr. give ata- Listice, firet : “Under present conditions more than half of all cows after tha ag of 3 years are doomed to tuberculosie, that i?,a8 soon as they become useful for breeding and dairying purposes.” Again: “In Derby, of 175 cows tested 93, or 54 per cent the tuberculin test, and thouzh at firet sight it did not seem satisfac ory that 46 per cent. of cows had been found diseased, yet the result compared favorably with those obtained from other parts of the coun- try.” Also: “That none of the animals which had reacted showed before in- spection any signs of the disease which could in any way be relied upon for in- formation of a correct diagnosis; op the contrary, the animals were all in good health and condition.” Nor do the dif.- ficulties eud here. Pastures were in fected by tuberculous cattle, and calves were infected by diseased milk.

Une imethod, and the one that he thought would most likely prevail, at least for the presen’, was that adopted by Lord Vernon in D-rbyshire, whose plan was to hold uvut inducements to

\ tain was yet ripe tor so

much corpul- sory legislation, The city ef Manch«s- ter had epplied to Parhament for power for dealing in the milk supply similar o those obtained by Glasgow in 1890. These powcrs were to enter cow sh: ds, city or country, which supplied milk to

citizens, and to inflict fines and penalties on anyone who should | retain a condemned animal and

heavier finesif found selling milk of

said animale.

Other cities were likely very soon to apply for similar legislation, for sam ples taken lately at random at railway stations at Liverpool and elsewhere showed I8 per cent. to 29 per cent to be tuberculous.

He asked the ladves of the Council when Charlottetown would be ready to move in this matter, and said that this was aproblem tor them to solve when they had first overcome difficulties and removed abuses which he would pre- sently point out, saying now in passing that “lt’s a far ery to Lochowe.”

Referring back again to ventilation of houses as a preventive of consumption he quoted Sir Ww. Broad Bent, than wiom there could not be higher authority who said last epring among other things with regard to the pre- vention of dissemina'ion of tuberculosis f:om patients suffering from that disease rorgly urged that rooms: occupied consumptives should immediiately after death be disinfected under the supervision the medical officer of health, The most effective preventive measure was to live as far as possible in fresh air day and night, summer and winter.

sumption to probably one haif, but would have the further effect that there would be fewer coughs and colds,

FOR THOSE SUFFERING FROM CONSUMPTION the curative was not any particular air but freshar. A ‘“sanitoria,’ he thought, | “ought to be erected on a dry soil in southern exposure within reach of all large towns” The Doctor then quoted facts from the Sanitorian of Great sritain in corroboration of Dr. Broadbent’s contention. Also a Sani- torian On a small scale; also asepsis of houses. These articles we hope to give to our readers in full at a iater date. He then proceeded to treat of THE PROBLEM BEFORE US UN CH’TOWN, He said it was indeed a case where we must begin at the A B C’s at sanitation. He said he had pointed out once or twice befora to the citizens that we have no vital and mortuary statistics for this Province, and thatif we did not move

in this matter very soon we should fiud ourselves in the unenviable position of being the only English speaking people lacking such information. He quo:ed trom aformer address by himself as follows :

“lt is claimed, and jastly, that the discoveries in As'ronomy have not 4 more palpable application to Divigition and commierce, or the investigations of chemis'ry to man ufactures than have statistics of beslth and disease to moral regenera. tion, for until thee yital statistics had been eecured, the public moral sense could not be awakened, because it could not be informed as to the terrible loss cof buman life srising from prevent able causer. Herein he said isa field fcr the Lozal Council of Women to wieil the.ri fluence upon our local legislatu e. In civic sflai's matters he ssid are no better, but if possible worse. We have noinfection of houses - the owner of a house witha cellar full of stagnint and polluted water or one that was lately occupied by consumptives, can rent it if he find: a tenant ignorant enough to wove in—in fact he said the roof might be roofless so far as civic in- teif rs:ce was c ncerned. There was no provision compelliag the owner to sup- ply even one fawcet for water or to enablo the tenant to useesuch a fawcet in proportion to renta'. He asked if there was any tenant so poor as_ to be unable or orwilling to pay say 10 cents a

farmers to maintain bealthy herds by contracting to take from them milk at a slight advance over the market price, ‘ Say One penny per gallon, unti! national action was practicable. Prof. Delephine, speaking for Lord Vernon, recommen?- ed a careful inspection by a capable veterinary surgeon, who would oiake a thorovgo inspection of the byres and cows and apply the tuderculine test. He recommended that a

2. Registration and ciarking of ail cattle in the arez; 3. Inspection at least twice a year of ali cows, sheds, ete: 4. En-

cou.e scent of breeding healthy cattle ac .ceting calves on sterilized milk; | 5. Luc complete eaclusion of diseased persons from sheds and dairies; 6. Scrupulous cleansing of milk pails

and other utensils. If farmers apprecia- ted the value of tuberculine test by the enhanced price of milk, and healthy | stock ceased to be profitable, they would help the movement, but not otherwise unless on a compulsion.

As an alternative to this voluntary plan be quoted Dr. Manson, who said thatin Great Britain 150,000 people died anvually from consumption, and who arrived at the following conclu- stons:—First, compulsory notice of dis-

ease in man and beast. Second, com-

month for the convenience of water in his houses. We had now a sanitary of- licer, sc-zalled, qual fied t) pass an ex- aminatiog with equal distinction to him. either in sanitation or sanscrit? The medical officer of this city received last year the magaificent sum of $5000 for his services. Herein, surely the laties of the Women's Council could do a world of good by insisting upon this much needed retorm; furthermore, the times were propitious—the Mayor wes the Chairman of the Roard of Health, whch wes constituted by the City Couucil and the Water Conmissioners. For the first time inthe history of the City, a medical man occupied tha posi- tion of Chairman of the Board of Health of this City; and he was sure that the L C. W. would receive the most cordial and general support of the Mayor in any scheme they might devise in the matter of house inspection and disinfection after cases of consumption, as well as | all other infectious diseases by a medica} officer who should receive a salary com. mensurate with tew and _ increased aoe and respunsibilities invo!ved on in.

HINK about your health. Do no

allow scrofula taints to develop in your blood. Take Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla now and keep yourself WELL.

FIGHTING THE FILIPINOS.

It has been wel! said thata year ago the man whoshonld have predicted that

within a twelve-month the government of the United States would be hiring the insurgent Cubanéto lay down

their arms, the Spaniards having deperted permanently from ihe island, wou'd have been ridiculed esa foo!;while the man who should have asserted that within the same neriod the United States end the in- surgents in the Philippines would be at war, would have been sent down ae tn

sane. One yearago there was nothing but sympathy for the insurgent Cubans aud the insurgent Filipinos, who were struggling to throw oft the yokeof Span’sh

tyranny. ‘Toaidthe Cubausto gain tueir treedom the United States went to war with Spain. If, as an incident, the

Fijipivos took advantage of the turmoil and ssecured their independence, there could be no abjecticn, but no one in tha United States thought much about them one wayor anctber. The agument that

Cuba lay close to the shores of the United ! worth— |

States was ued for allit was perhaps a little more—enii: could not very well be extendedto include an archi- pelago on the other side of the globe. But Dewey was ordered home with his ‘quadron, and taking Anguinaldo along with hin, he estopped at Manila. Every on? is familiar with the story—heis still there, or thereabouts--and the United States troops are [fighting the Filip'nos. How prolcnged or how bloody the conflict may be po one cantell; but it isa queer commecttiry upon the policy of going to war from high and disinterested motives cf humanity.

Dear Sine,—I was for seven years & sufferer from Bronchial trouble, and would be 80 hoarse at times that I could scarcely speak above a whisper. I got no relief from anything till I tried your MIN- ARD’S HONEY BALSAM. Two bottles gave relief and six bottles made a com, lete cenre. I would heartily recommend it to anyone suffering from throat or lung

, trouble.
