‘ruing the causes of disease and methods of its prevention prev ailed, society— Christian Society—began to

not only to itself as a

e its

whole, but also to each component member of the community, and thus Public Preventive Medicine was evolved. England led the way

in this as in many other social reforms, a little more than fifty years ago. The United States took up the example not until 1869, Massachnsetts having the honor of creating the first Public State Board of Health. 1 will not enter upon this topic further than to indicate briefly some of the MATTERS WITH WHICH PUBLIC HYGIENE DEALS :

Water and its impurities; ventilation aud warming of rooms; the removal and disposal- of house-waste and sewage; food and its adul- terations; disinfection of person and purifica ticn of rooms after infectious diseases; vital statistics; sanitary inspectors and engineers. The great source of disease, says a recent writer, against which preventive medicine has shown its greatest powers, and against which it wages war, is the introduction ot noxious matter either with the food or the air we breathe, or by direct inocculation. In passing I may be allowed to congratalate Charlottetown on the fact that the time has at last been definitely limited when that abomination, well water, shall cease to be the beverage of our citizens. That means more than appears on the surface of “it. Water, free from all impurities, is one of the most vital elements of good health, and the promo- ters of the movement, as well as the Commis- sioners by whom that article is now in a fair way of being obtained, will be entitled to the gratitude of the citizens of this town for alJ time to come. The

NEXT MOVEMENT IN: ADVANCE

must be the creation of a Board of Health in- dependent of the City Council, and entirely distinct therefrom, «and elected, no matter how, with some little regard to fitness, An- other problem requiring instant attention is thatof soil pollution, for that means, also, air pollution. I need not describe how this has been going on in the past, with slaughter- houses, pig-styes and other unmentionable nuisances exposed to the gaze and the sense of smell of every passer-by. ‘*‘ Why it appears no other thing to me,” as Hamlet says, * than afoul and pestilent congregation of vapours,” offensive to decency and deadly in its effects, more especially to very young children, and still more especially to that very large class whose parents cannot afford the luxury of their removal to the country during our hot

The child who once burns his fingers Iéarns one lesson in natural law and thusin time becomes a man. If it were otherwise—if a fond mother’s kiss or antici- patory wish could prevent the logical results ot the child’s thus crossing the path of a law of nature, a child forever he should remain. \ou cannot by searching find oat God. Herbert Spencer says: ‘‘ The FIRST CAUSE

is an inscrutable fact, or process, behind al! the intelligible pensnaens of nature,” also *‘ the assumption of the existence of a first cause of the universe is a necessity of thought.”) Hence God's revelation of himself to us, But for man to know himself and the laws which govern his life in this world is a duty imposed upon every human being, and it is the duty of every Christian community which recognizes the brotherhood of man to acequaint itself with the teachings of the science of his life, or at least with the. practical ‘results drawn therefrom and to govern itself accordingly, no less than to know and obey those of divine revelation itself! Science isa divine . revela- tion given to man as_ best befits him. Christianity, wherever her sway extends, prevents the sacrifice of children to heathen gods. But, alas! Christians see the helpless victims of preventable disease and of ignorance carried to an untimely and a wholly unnecessary grave with apparent apathy. ‘The times of man’s ignorance, we are told, God winked at; but with increasing knowledge there surely comes increasing responsibility. An innocent person falls a victim to foul murder or to culpable accident, and the whole Christian public conscience is aroused. No less lamentable, no less to reprobated, is the death of achild froma well-known though unseen enemy, when ways and means of cireumyenting that enemy are known and available! How many sad enes can sing, if not ‘‘ with the resistless eloquence of woe,’ at least with the same overflowing heart, as did the royal mourner of old,—

Alas ! my noble boy, that thou shouldst die ; Thou who wert made so beantifully fair That death shoule settle in THY GLORIOUS EYE, And leave its stil'ness in thy clustering hair. How could he mark thee for the silent tomb, My proud boy!

RESULTS OF PUBLIC

To return to our

SANITATION ?

Here are some of them. From the Registrar- General's returns of Great Britain we find : In guingtennial period ending . 1865, the deathrate per thousand was 22.5. In the corresponding period ending 1885 the rate was 19.3. From che same seutce it is found that the death rate from 1870 to 1885 has been diminished by one-seventh. Sir Spencer Wells, speaking at the World's International es Congress at Vienna, iast autumn, satd: ‘‘In these fifty years we have been learning that health is wealth. For the ~Jast fifty years the average duration of life in

Great iritain had increased from 30 to YO years.” Again. . we had the full power, a competent

Minister of Pubjic Health, and an efficient staff of health officete and engineers, the pre- sent death rate of Lotion, thatis nineteen per thousand, might certainly be reduced to fourteen, or probably to twelve.’ No wonder the Times, commenting on thesé figures, says: ‘The toll levied by what is rightly called preventable disease, is a discredit ~o a com- munity in which the general prineiples of sanitation are fairly understood,” and that it characterizes these preventable causes RS “the barbarism of epidemic diseases.” Sir Spencer Wells, in his speech above referred to, makes a calculation upon the economic value of life saved in England at £8,000,000 stg. A writer inthe Saturday Review takes him to task thus: ‘Sir Spencer Wells must be aware that a man cannot produce without living, and that he cannot live upon nothing. Some people produce more than they con- sume ; others consume more than they pro- duce. They must all live upon the resources of the soil, which arelimited, But if the theory of Sir Spencer Wells be correct, there

But thou no more with thy sweet voice shalt To meet me.

Death, when clearly inevitable and regard- ed as the will of God,. and accepted with true Christian resignation, isnot to flesh and blood an easy thing to bear.. But- when contem- asthe result of the ignorance, and carelessness, and callousness and utter dis- regard of the teachings of science, of society — by no fault of our own but by that of society —-the thought becomes intolerable, unsupport- ible! Christianity, art thou that vital prin- ciple that shall save society, or do we look for another? . Art thou that energy that is destined to lift mankind into a higher and higher plane of existence and happiness, or must we look for another? Art thou in thy tun to be displaced by a higher and better ‘‘service of man?” Are we justified, judging by what Christianity has already done for the world, now finding it and science clasping hands, to expect much greater results in the future? What has Christianity done and is doing? Let me an- swer, in the eloquent words of one of its ex- ponents in this town, as given by him ina sermon lately: ‘‘ As I look abroad over the Christian world, I see men and women who by every conceivable method are inaugurating movements for the repression of vice, for the relief of the poor, tor the care of orphan child- ren, for the reforming of inebriates, and for bringing back all classes of unfortunates to comiort and purity. Think of the noble army of men and woman who go down into the slutgs of degradation, visit prisons, climb into gasteta, descegd into cellars, in order to

plated

peopis thus engaged. in these missions of mercy? Are they tle men and women who renounce the Bible, reject the Saviour of men, and boast-of their scepticism? Nay. Verily. They arathe men and women whe kneel at the altar of the ras who trust in Jesus Christ for the patdon of their sins and for their nape of heaven, and who, from being with Jesus Christ in theught and affection, have been touchea-»v the tire of His divine compassion until, like Him, they are com- pelled to go about doing good among the poor and the suffering. TO THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH,

of which Jesus Christ his the acknowledged Head, belongs the high honor of inaugurating nearly every enterprise of a strictly benevo- lent and philan*rophical character.” That, 1 think, fairly represents the claims by the churches of the works and benefits of christ} janity to the race at large. Let me quote

gin from one viewing the matter from the standpoint of a physician: ‘* Of the effects of a belie? in the teachings of Christ, I have had much observation. “it convinces me of their truth, for what reforms baeman vatrre, devel oping all that is good, sustaining it tn the e/- deavor to suppress what is evil supporting it in the difficulties ef life, and in the struggle with death fuiruisYes evidence of its truth,—-not in a scientific method, but in a way equally convincing.”

neglect? We certainly, must give aome better practical proof—must not only erystallize our sense of the right in legislative enactments which will forbid any man, or body of men, becoming a danger to their neighbors, but also see that the law is strictly enforced before this stigma of unseemly apathy in matters of cleanliness and disease and death can be removed from us.

One writer has said: ‘‘ We live in a world of marvels of which not one millionth part has ever been guessed mueh less discovered and roughly «giving the title of supernatural to everything beyond our comprehension,” Suppose this to be no exaggeration, and suppose the human mind has in the distant future grasped the mighty balance, is there anything in the teaching and example of Christ, which would render them as an ideal for the morality of such infinitely wise beings inadequate? ‘‘ Whence came that collossal Figure, that wondrous Being, who crossed

the world’s horizon eighteen hun- dred years ago’ He who is the most sovereign and sublime personality

and miracle of all time, and who is filling the world with His mame and the monuments of His uplifting and redeeming power? Is he a man—sand nothing more?”"* “,He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father,” is his testi- movy concerning himself! Jesus! Son of Mary! Son of Man! Thou art verily also the Son of God! and Medicine, accepting its evolution from darkness to light, from super- stition to science, as an earnest and promise of what it is destined yet to fulfil in the high- est service of man, will take Thy pure life and teaching as the polar star of its-loftiest ambi- tion down through the ages, even to the end of tiie.
