Ho loses nothing, therefore, from being overstocked. The article is a staple one, for which there is as constant a demand as for wheat or flour, and the merchant can therefore, sell it at a minimum rate of profit. —— Tue detachment of Engineers—Sergt.

Before leaving the Commandant addressed them specially, complimenting them highly on their work and conduct while at College. Daring the course the team were quarter- ed at the School of Artillery, the Com- mandant of which also expresses himself as perfectly satisfied wfth their work and conduct while there. The men wore great favorites with the other students, and on theie departure were greeted with a shower of good luck emblems, one of which struck Sapper Heartz on the fore- head inflicting aslight wound. As they left for home immediately after the ex- amination the results are not a definitely kaown, but are anderstood tb be favorable. | Purpose cf acquiring fusds wherewith to pay | or improving the walks and repairing tlre fence around the Park.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Quacks and Patent Medicines. Sin,—We are given to understand that among the important questions that will be considered during this session in the House, will be the framing of a medical bill, for the protection of the people in general against imposters in the medical profession. All lovers of science will hail such a move with delight, as also the lovers of the human race. Living a8 we are in an age of progress and culture, it is somewhat surprising that the intelligence of this Province could be so blunted as not to see the necessity of such a bill heretofere. If such a state of affairs were allowed to exist much longer, the science of medicine on the Island would degenerate and dwindle down to a farce. The very idea of allowing every “quack” and ‘‘nostrum dealer” who may chance to come in the way to enter the ranks of the medical men, is eimply a dis- grace to their time-honored profession, This Island has always been a common resort for such a class of people, when debarred of the privilege in every other part of the Dominion by the law regulating the practice of medicine. They meet with every encouragement and find no obstacle when they come to this Province, They are clever fellows in one sense of the word, and they resort to all kinds of artful scheming to gull the people into the belief that they are graduates of some great school. In this way they will very soon gain the confidence of the people. They are always provided with a _ suflicient amount of cheek, which, by the way, is the only qualification that is required at the present time on the Island for the practice of medicine, and they dont care a cent what amount of injury theydo so long as they can gather up a few hundred dollars. It is to be regretted that we have Island born quacks in our midst, as well as foreign, who should be taught to follow their own calling, whatever it may be, and not to interfere with a branch of science they know nothing about. Another class of ‘‘nostrum dealers’ we have among us are the retailers of patent medicine which are to be found in every village and country store throughout the length and breadth of the Island. They will suggest a treatment from their store of drugs, having as much knowledge in the meantime of what is wrong with the man, or what they are pre- scribing as the ‘‘man in the moon,” if there is such a being. Thecountry is robbed of thousands of dollars in this way everyjyear. There should be some limit to thesale of this medicine. There should be a line drawn as to what kind of medicine should be sold outside of the drug store. This is an important mat‘er and worthy of some consideration. It is to be hoped that dur- ing this session a medical bill will be passed that will for all time to come settle those difficulties. Yours, &., OBSERVER.
