CAMBORNE
MINING CO.
Preparing to Work.
All stock in the Northwestern Development syndicate or the Gold
Finch Mining company which has
not been exchanged lor stuck in tbe
Camborne Mining company, with the
assessment ol live cents a share on llie
Camborne stock paid, is now delinquent and is being sold by the Camborne Mining company tor the price
of tbe assessment, five cunts a share
on the Camborne stock, whioh is
equivalent to 11 cents a share ou the
Northwestern stock.
Secretary John B, Curtis, oi Cal-
uinel, reports lhat there iB equivalent
nf ubout 75,0011 slum's of Camborne
stock delinquent, und uf this amount
between 15,000 and 20^000 shares wore
sold ou Deo. 12th, and loth,,those being the first two days of dellnqtionoy.
He says that the finauoialcondition
ol this concern is now better I ban it
ur any of its predecessors bus been
since December, 1902, when the
Northwestern Development syndicate
lirst begun to incur an indebtedness,
From that time forth the financial
situation grew gradually worse, until
entire liquidation was averted only by
a fow of the heaviest stockholders
forming a triisleu's company which
issued a blanket mortgage, nnd paid
off tbe indebtedness, at the same timo
preventing a sheriff's Bale.
This mortgoge of $15,0110 is now thu
only claim of any nature against the
property, quit claim deeds to (he entire group of claims and all equipment
having been secured. Tbe property is
entirely out of danger from loieolosuro,
as the mortgage syndicate is composed of tho stockholders who have
tbe greatest interests at stake, being
composed, at tbe same lime, of some
uf the strongest and most trustworthy
financial Interest, of tbe copper country.
There is now in the company's
treasury a (und ol between $5,0011 and
$11,000, derived (rum the present
assessment nud delinquent stuck sale.
Thero are uu plana to begin any work
on the property until Ibis fund is
materially strengthened und enough
is iiii baud to make an attack that
will promise suine ilelinile results.
Thestampmill is said tube in good
condition and a watchman is looking
after its safekeeping.
There nro two methods by whioh
more money may be raised—tlm further sale of stock or the culling of
another assessment. It bus not been
determined which method shall be
followed.
Tbe stock in the Camborne Mining
company is issued in the names of tho
stockholders but is nut delivered to
them at present, It is turned over to
the First National Hank in Calumet
and a receipt fur it is issued by tbe
bank to the stockholders, while thu
bank will bold the stock in escrow
until such time us the mining company has satisfactorily financed the
undertaking—Mining Gazette, Calumet, Mich.

benches being littered with cases of
liquor. Indians have broached some
ol these and orlgles are resulting. It

boats and gear were rotten.
Among the passengers on the ill-
fated Valencia wcro (i. W, Taylor, a

being dotted above the water line with
the remains of men, women and children whioh have so far been recovered.
So many bodies were thrown up that
il wns impossible to do more than
haul thuin to places uf safety.
Many bodies have been so terribly
pounded and bruised by contaot with
tlm rocks that idontiiicutisn may bo

Sound and rescued. The drowned

und three others jumped into Uio sun,
while just as the island bench whs
readied another went insane and
rushed into tbe ocean.
Twenty-two other* were picked up
Oil a rait.
The condition of the survivors was
pitiable,
They wen- hall frozen and practically unconscious Irom tlio exposure.
The sight of the pour creatures on
tbo raft brought tears to the eyes ot
the sailors on the rescuing vessel.
In tbo stern ol the raft silt an old
man. His snow white hair and pallid
features were creased nnd torn by tbe
Hying spray.

pretty near curing it, if there

(§ From time immemorial the
doctors prescribed cod liver
oil for consumption. Of
course the patient could not

it did very little good. They

and tolerate it for a long
time. There is no oil, not

helpful in consumption where
its use must be continuous.

!    But to have  saved   her own   soul
' or his, Marian could not then   have

I    So   ho  continued  to  caress hor—

j There was more of passion than   nf-

a thought,  and   it was hilent,   and
quite subservient    to her  love     fur

"Love! angel! how enchanting you

his linns mul pressing kisses un hor
cheek and lips und neck.
Glowing with color, Marian strove
to release herself. "Let mo go—let
us leave this place, dear Thurston,"
she pleaded, attempting to rise.
"Why? Why ore you 111 such a

mo?" he asked, without releasing
his hold.
"it Is lnie! Hear Thurston, it is
late," sh" 'laid, in vaguo alarm,
"That does not matter—I am witli

"They will be anxious about me,
pray let us go! They will be so
anxious!" sho said, with increasing
distress, trying to get nwuy. "Thurston! Thurston? You distress me beyond measure," she exclaimed in
great trouble,
Hut. he stopped hor breath with

.Marian suddenly ceased lo struggle, and by a strong effort of will
she became porfcclly calm. And
looking in his eyes, with her clear,
steady gaze, she said:
"Thurston, I have ceased lo strive,
Hut if you are a man of honor, you
will release me."
His anus dropped from around hoi
as il he had been struck dead.
Hind to be free, Marian arose lo
depart. Thurston sat still—his fine
countenance overclouded with mortification and anger. Mnriun hosttatoo;

At length she spoke.
"Will you   s,,„   m,, safely   through

CITY COUNCIL
The first regular meeting of the new
council wa, held last night. Present;
The Mayor, Aid. Palmer, Trimble,
Tapping, Howboii, Caley, Abrahamson
0, P. It. WANTS ELECTRIC POWER
A letter was read from W. Cross,
who is in charge of C. P. R. mechanical department, asking quotation, for
50 b. p. electrical power.
R. Gordon was called in and said an
expenditure of $6,500 to put in a new
machine and equipment would enable
the power to bo provided. A sluicegate would be required to allow of continuous running. A Btcam plant
would cost $111,000 to $20,000 to install and would require an income ol
$9,000 to maintain it. It would be a
long time before the city could got
that revenue. It was a mistake they
did not put in a power machine instead of the new one thoy bought. Ho
pointed that nut to the bite Mayor but
lie was opposed to it.
Tbe Mayor suggested referring the
matter to the Fire, Water and Light
Committee to go fully into with Mr.
Cross.
Aid. Abrahamson pointed out it
would be necessary tu ascertain what
minimum power would be used daily,
as it would not (lo for the city to go to
the expense of putting in a plant and
then find they were not getting
enough revenue from it to make it
pay.
On motion of Aid. Palmer, seconded
by Aid. Tapping, the matter wus re-
(erred to the committee to investigate
nnd report.
CORRESPONDENCE
From C.P.R. re information for their
(older.—Referred to Tourist Association.
From Canadian Woodmen, asking
city to purchase copies of paper with
20-line notice of the city.—Refused.

plough bad been run and put the

He recommended a brand bo used for
city tools.
Aid. Palmer asked him whether bo
would recommend a brand to work by
electricity or lire.
Hill. WATER AMI LIGHT
Aid. Trimble reported Mr. Gordon
bad everything running satisfactory
at tbe power-house, and the work was
being pushed ahead but was waiting
logs. A shed was required for storing
lire wood.
CITV SOLICITOR

building.
Tbo Mayor said tho matter had
been before the Council for two years
nnd they bad been unable to get any
satisfaction from the Government.
Aid. Palmer thought it a pity thoy
could not get some members of the
Government put in there for six
weeks.
Aid. Abraboiiisiiii said for tbo past
live years the matter bad been advocated and the Government bad said
the city must provide its own gaol.
Aid. Caley said the grand juries bad
several times condemned the present
gaol which was an old building.
Aid. Howson aaid tbo Government
should also assist in providing an
isolation hospital. They bad already
had a serious lesson when they had to
clean out the tool house for a child
which died there. Such Inhumanity
as that could not lie tolerated.
Aid. AbrahaniBon also urged the
necessity of such a hospital.
Aid. Howson urged that the Board
of Trade be asked to take up both the
matter of tbe gaol and isolated hospital and that pressure be brought to
bear on the member for Revelstoke to
have these metiers attended to, There
bud boon two of llm most hcuit-rend-
ing enses they bud ever heard ot here
on account ofjjjiiii proper accommodation for infectious easea.
Hn motion of Aid. Howson, seconded
by Aid. Trimble, a resolution waa
passed asking jJMr. Taylor, M.P.P.,

provision >>f a gaol ,i\u\ isolation hospital for tho eity,

Clerk should ooinniunioato with the

Portugal's assurance to the world
Hint the slave trade his been stopped through the establishment of
Portuguese military stations alung
the slavo-trado route is discounted

Even as you come down to the river
you find slave shackles banging on

and now the shackles arc thick upon
the trees. This is tbo place whoi'o
most of the slaves, being driven
down Irom the interior, ore untied.
It is safe to let them loose here.
The Cuauza is just in front, and behind llu-in lies the lung stretch of

THE TRAFFIC GROWS,
"For many months after the war
even the trafiic to San Thome almost ceased. It lms begun again
now, and is rapidly increuslng. An
order was issued in December, 19U4,
rcqblrlng the government agents to
press on the supply. Hut at present
tho slaves ne coining down in smaller gangs. 'I"hey are not, aa a rule,
tortured; they are shackled only at
nigtil, and tho traders lake a certain
amount ul pains to conceal the
whole traffic, ur nt least to mako
it look respectable.
"As to secrecy, they ore not entirely successful. A man whose word
no olio in Central Africa would think
ot doubling hns jusl sent down notice Irom the Interior lhat a gang ot
251) slaves passod through thu Nuna-
kandundu district, bound for tbo
coast, in tho end of February
(I90.->), shackles and all. The man
who brought the message had done
his best'to avoid" the gang, fearing
for his life. I ought to have met
them near Mashlko if they had not
taken a by-path or been broken up
into small groups.
"It was such a small group that
I met within u day's journey of Cal-
nla, the largest truding-liouse in
lliho. I wns walking nt about half
an hour's distance from the road,
when suddenly I camo upon a parly
of eighteen or twenty buys and four
men hidden in the bush. At sight of

left two long ehicottes ur ajnmlioks
(hide whips) hanging on the trees,
ns well as the very light loads they
had with them. After a time I returned, and they ran away again.
1 then noticed that they posted a
man on a tree-tup to observo my
movements, and ho remained there
till I trekked on with my own people."
STOLEN    FROM THEIR PEOI'LE.
Of his meeting with another slave
caravan Ihe writer suys:
"My carriers dnlecled them at
unco, and I heard the word "apekn"
(slaves) passed down Hie line oven
before I camo in (right of them. Tho
caravan numbered seventy-eight in
ull. In front and rear were lour
men with guns, and there wero six
uf them in tho centre. Tho wholo
caravan wns organized with a precision that one never finds among
Ireo carriers, and nearly tho whole
of it consisted of boys under 1-1.
This in Itsolf would ho almost conclusive, for no trade caravan would
contain anything like that proportion of hoys, whereas boyB arc the
most easily stolen from native villages In tho Interior, and, on the
whole, they pay tho cost of transport, best.

The British public has su long

of lho fleet themselves who nre almost unanimous in asking for a
change of uniform.
'The objections to the present dress
are many. However well Bulled it
was to the day when Ihe seaman's
work lay in the direction ul handling
spars and sails and hauling ropes,
it is not adapted to modern conditions, where the seaman is really tt
skilled mechanic, The buggy trousers arc apt to catch in the machinery, and are really a nui-ance. 'The

CRUELTIES IN  CONGO.
Appeal to British Government   to
Suppress Them.
At a meeting of ihe members of
the Gonoral Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society, held In
Lundnn, Knglnnd, r, o-ntly, n rcsolu
lion   Was   Ullilptei
tu llieir feelings of horror and Indignation ot the continued cruelties
and atrocities perpetrated upon Ihe
j peoples of the Congo Siule by representatives of the Congo Government
und the various coucessiouaire companies.
The resolution gnea on to say that
they would hnve taken their preacnt
aolinn at a much earlier date, but
they deemed it wiser to await the
report uf tho special commissioners;
but they can delay nn lunger, especially in viow ol the fact lhat the evidence ol missionaries and others relative to theae atrocities presented
to the Bpecinl commisslonero eatab-
liBhes boyond question the truthful.
nnaa of tho charges, leaving no doubt
that many nf the worst leatures ol
African slavery are rife in large
tracts ol the Congo State, resulting
in tho depopulation of many districts, consequent upon the oppressive and cruel treatment of the natives hy State servants, native
State aoldiera, and tho repreaeuta-
tivoa of concessionaire companiea.
The Oenernl Committee appeals to
his Majcaty'a Government lu take
such action, under the powers uf the
Berlin Treaty, as may bring to a
speedy terminatIon the prerMt regime of oppression, coercion, and
cruelty which now exists in se many
parts .1 the Cong. State.

THE SCHOOL TRUSTEE ELECTIONS.
It is an old saying that once a
lie gets a start it is hard to overtake it, In connection with the
late school trustee election- for this
city a Blory was actively circulated
f,.,r some time before the election
that tbe late chairman of the
Board and another of the candidates had in view making a change
in the headmastership of the public
school. None who knew these men,
and the high estimation in which
they hold the teaching staff, be
lieved the canard, but tbe story
was confimed by some who ought to
have known better, apart from those
who circulated it for purely mischievous and personal reasons. In
justice to the men affected we have
investigated the charge most thoroughly and find, as we expected,
there is not a word of truth in it.
All who were connected with its
circulation should be ashamed of
themselves.
We si all be glad to show any
persons interested the correspondence in our possession on tlie matter, proving beyond question (he
gross wrong done these men. Mr.
Lindmark has been connected with
the  Kevelstoke school  for many
Thu Attorney-general has introduced a bill consolidating and
amending tho municipal law, and
milking better provision for bylaw
powers thun have hitherto existed.
The late oity council sent in some
suggestions for amendment of the
existing law, and the opportunity
is one which the city councils
throughout the province should
take advantage of to make suggestions to the government with a
view to overcoming any dilliculties
of administration they have found
in the existing laws.
The amending bill introduced by
the Chief Commissioner provides
thnt all timber cut on Crown lands
must be used or manufactured in
the province, and in case of this
not being done the leaso shall be
cancellod. As an alternative provision is made that the government may seize timber which il is
proposed to oxport und refuse to
release same until such security is
given as shall ensure its being manufactured in the province.
With reference to our article in
iast issue on reducing the electric
light rates in the city, we arc informed the rale at New Westmin
ster is 12c. against 17c, the rate
for Revelstoke.

C. P. R. Freight Train Runs
into Passenger.
On Wednesday night a. No. 96 wn,
on her way from Vancouver east, and
Hearing Kamloops, the engine broke
down and the train had to be stopped
for temporary repairs. A brakeniun
wa, sent back to llag against any rear
trains and the repairs having been
effected the Bagman was called in.
On stinting again, however, It, was
found the engine refused to work and
the llagmaii was sent out again, but
before reaching hi, point a freight
train, with Engineer T. .Sweeney in
charge of the engine, came along and
run into the passenger train badly
damaging the pullman car.
The result might have been eerioua
but for the presence uf mind of Conductor Risteen, who saw the light of
the (rcighl train and immediately
signalled the engineer to move on
with a view to lessening the shock
and giving the freight train time to
pull up.
The passengers paid the highest
encomium, to Conductor Risteen for
the action ho took and whioh undoubtedly fined the passenger train
from more serious consequence
It is stilted the peculiar circumstances of the accident are snob that
no one waa to blame lor it, but an
investigation will be held by the 0. P.
R, ollicials of tbe Vancouver division.

PROVINCIAL
LEGISLATURE
Victoria, .lui,. 22,—Routine work,
and littlo of interest ut that, wns the
order uf the day in the House till,
afternoon, and legislation In various
matter, was considerably advanced.
While the absence of contentiousness
may make the labours ol parliament
appear Intolerably tedious to nn onlooker, there is no doubt thnt it is a
great aid to tbe prompt despatch ol
business.
The Attornoy-Gcnoral introduced
"An Act to consolidate uud amend
tho 'Municipal Clauses Act' and
amending Acts," which passed its
lirst rending.
Drury (Victoria City) had givon
notice for a motion that an order be
granted for a return showing number
of timber lenses grunted during lilOf)
on Vancouver Island with names ol
lessees, area leased, and amount of
bonus paid. Dr. King (Cranbrook)
moved this motion, as Drury was nut
in tbe House.
Buwser (Vancouver) asked if the
Government bud any comespondence
since they took olliee with the
authorities at Ottawa in relation to
the granting of a lease of Stanley
Park at Vancouver. Answered in tbe
affirmative.
Evan, (Cowichan) was troubled
about one Henry Fry, a civil engineer,
and wanted lo know whether he waB
paid or employed, and if so, how
much, on a new road from Cowichan
station to the King Solomon mines,
how much it cost, and why it was not
full width, lie was promised an answer shortly.
Murphy (Curiboo) wanted to know
if .1. P. ISabcock is iu the employ of
the Government. Replied to in the
affirmative. Then now much wa, be
paid ? $3000 a year. Oil,and did the
Government give permission to Mr.
Bnbcock to net us a meiubor oi the
Fisheries Commission? They did.
And bow long bad the lish hatchery
at Seton Lake been in operation ?
Since July, 1903, replied the Government. Then Mr. Murphy asked how
many salmon eggs bad beeu placed
in the hatchery each year, bow many
young salmon bad been released each
year, and bow many men were employed this season thereat.
Jiuw, Mr. Murphy's sudden interest
in Salmon iB understood owing to the
locality where be resides, to be largely
of uu academic nature. Hi, face, as
be received full in it tbe tremendous
volume of ligures which bin lust three
questions culled forth, bad the blank
stolidity uf a nickel-in-the-slot machine assimilating coin of tbo realm
whon I usiness is good.
The Finance Minister moved the
House be asked to grant supply on
Wednesday next. Passed, thought it
is hardly likely to be ready by that
time.
Tbe Attorney-General's bill to
amend the General Trusts Oorpoiation
Act, 1906, passed its third reading.
The Attorney General1, bill to
amend the Small Debts Act passed its
second reading.
The adjourned debate on the second
reading oi Mr. Hawthornthwaite', bill
to amend the Coal Mines Regulation
Act was again laid over at the .Mover's
request.
in reference to the adjourned debate
on motion of Oliver (Delta) for return
of correspondence between Government und others in regard to defective cattle-guards along line of New
Westminster Southern Railway, the
order was granted; the Attorney-
General explaining, however, that the
people who bad bad stock injured bad
taken the" matter before the courts,
and be did not think it wise for the
Government to interfere.

Dr. Voting (Atlin; chairman uf Private
Bills Committee, moved that the time

was adopted, He then moved the
suspension ol standing rule, to allow
petitions to be received. This was
passed.
Then uprose tbe redoubtable John

resting easily.
NEW BILLS.
The Atlin County Court Hill was
read a third time und passed. The
Act to amend tbe Small Debts Act
wa, reported complete in I ninmittc
without amendment.
ASSESSMENT ACT.
In moving the second reading of the
Aet to amend tbo Assessment Act,
1003, Finance Minister Tatlmv referred to the fact that the Act as
brought in the session before last was
a long one. Some amendment, were
made to it last session, but experience
bad shown tbo advisability of further
cnange,. The purpose of the present
amending Act wa, to make more dear
the meaning ol one or two sections of
that measure, and lo obviate the
possibility of misconstruction of its
intentions in other section,. There
wa, nothing in il to raise the taxes in
any way, in (act, it wa, a, proposed
decidedly in favor of the taxpayer, ono
of it, princip, I provisions lieing that,
where land, revert to the Crown for
taxe,, the taxpayer shall have a longer time to redeem his hind.
The Bccond section ol tin proposed
Act, continued the Finance Minister,
which dealt with real property luxation, wa, iu order to define more
clearly to what person, the lower rule,
of taxation shall apply. The intention of the original clause hud lieen
to help the poorer landholder, by a
low rate of taxation on property not
exceeding |2,000 in value, but it bus
been found in tome case, that people
possessed two tracts of land in the
same district, both under $2,1)110, yet
together aggregating nearly $4,01X1,
and that these persons bad taken advantage of the smaller rate, while
owner, ol land at $2,500 or $3,000 hud
to pay the higher rale, This new
clauae would remedy by taxing a
man', aggregate holding, in one
district.
The next amendment, aaid dipt.
Tatlnw, waa to make clearer the rat*
at whioh income tax should be
charged. It had been found on experience that the original clause dealing w'-.h thi, admitted of much mi,
construction, and the intent nl the
present meaiure wa, to cancel that
clause entirely and bring in a new
one, in which the' rates of taxation
were the same, but tbe wording so
definite that the intention of tbo Act
should uo longer be misunderstood.
The speaker went into extensive details showing the trouble that had
ariten Irom misconstruing the intent
of the original clause. He farther
explained a couple of minor section,;
one to amend a clerical error, and the
other to extend the time for the redemption of land.
Hawthornthwaite (Nnnsimo) approved the bill, and paid several
compliment, to Ihe Minister of
finance on being the right man for hi,
office. He detired, however, to
suggest the exemption from taxation
of the small farmer whose holding wa,
under $1,000.
Murphy (Cariboo) moved the adjournment of the debate.
Hon. Mr. McBride introduced an
"Act for the relief and ditincorpnrati, n
of the Municipality of Dewdney,"
which patsed its first rending.
LIFE SAVIXO STATION'S.
That the {rightful lo„ of Hie in tbe
wreck ol the Pacific Coast Steamship
Co.', ateatner "Valencia" on the west
coast of Vancouver Island the night
before laat had profoundly impressed
the members of the Legislature was
evident thi, afternoon, when, on the
House meeting, Mr. Manson (Alberni)
moved, Oliver (Delta) seconding, a
strong resolution to the Dominion
Government, asking lor the establishment of life-saving station, on thi,
dangerou, coast-line. Messrs. McBride and Hawthornthwaite made
strong speeches in support of the resolution, which carried unanimously.
SMALL DEBTS.
On report of the Bill to amond the
Small Debts Act, Parker Williams
(Newcastle) moved an amendment to
exempt from garnishee wage, ol workmen not exceeding $100 monthly.
This special piece of clue, legislation
did not meet the unanimous approval
of tha House at all, although the
Attorney-General lent it hi, support,
and, after a rather warm debate, it
wa, defeated by a mixed vote uf 22 to
17, some Government member, voting
lor it and others against it.
RELIEF BILL,
The rest of the day was devoted to
the discussion of Dewdney Relief Bill.
John Oliver, who has, in connection
with school taxation, persistently
made out himself and bis constituency to be a couple of deserving mendicant*, opposed the bill furiously;
thereby drawing upon his head the
delicate attention of Hawthornthwaite
of Nanaimo, who supported the measure and seined the opportunity to
make what is vulgarly known as a
"holy show" ol the Delta member,
Murphy (Cariboo) attempted to
adjourn the debate, but hi, motion
was defeated, and he was ruled out of
order whan attempting tn tpeak.
Tha House finally adjournod on
motion oj Mr. Wilson.

A nighl. or two later Richards was

on a few more arlleles ot table plate

"The jowel'ry's what I've got my

Hie drawer ol n littlo wrlllng-lablo,

Nervously Richards followed his

ncls li-ssly, anil, listening silently
almost breathlessly, looked over his

ami smiled, Thou he nodded con-
lideiilly and crept into the chamber.
Richards crept, in niter him.
Keeping his light turned down upon the Hour until lie hnd located ihe
bed, Snells looked round the handsomely-furnished apiirluient enviously. Richards did Ihu sumo in a
nervous, anxious sort of way, his
eyes glancing at thn bed every other

Sne'.ls put up a warning linger ami
crept towards the dressing-table in

"Vou .stand by Ihu bed," he whispered, "an if she waken, clop yer

continued cramming his pockets wilh
vaslous small articles Richards could
not see.
Richards crept Iwo paces across
the room and turned, his eyes attracted by u pi i ,re hanging upon'
the w.-ill in full light, of Hie lantern.
His jaw dropped, his eyes dilated,
uiul a violent sr.ver passed over his
big. loose frame. He took a step

puin Snells ronowed the attack with
increased fury, lie had no thought
now of currying away his booty; his
only wisli was lo avongo himself for

ami down ihu stairs, doors woro

cared for none of these tokens of Increasing (lunger; lie Wanted revi-ngi'.
lie aimed another blow at Richards, who put, up his arm to fend it

and heavy to be warded off, nnd
with a groan Richards sunk to the

a knife from his hip-pocket, and on
llie blade of this Richards hurled
himself. The next Instant Snails
was gone; bailees, coutloss, und
bootless, he was flying for his llfo
over hedge and Held.
Richards lay gasping and groaning
upon lho floor, his eyes upon his
own portrait nn the wnll.
Gradually the woman roused herself from her terror und moved to
hit: side. She saw his life's blood
flowing Irom his wound and shuddered. She looked nl his face and
gasped.
"Harry!" she cried, falling upon
her knees and seining his hund.
His lips purled as if he were uluuit

"Don't, Minnie," he groaned;

over her, and she leant back on her

Sir Frederick Treves has just delivered u iviiuii-kalilu address nt tho
iikiiigiti'iil un ut ing ol the iwsslon nt
llm Edinburgh Philosophical Institution, His subject was "Medicine
a lu Mode." He said Hm pervading
idea ul (IJsoatiO was something that
wan woeful and malignant, evil in
origin, evil in Inl,-ul aud evil In
effect.
"In Ihe popular view," he continued, "ll is held that dih-i-ns-o Is a
calamity, thut. lis end is di-slruction
and lhat il is purposeless, except in
oiui direction-—that of doing   hiirm
"Popular tortus hear testimony to
the prevalence of that bollof, A man
is sold (o he 'struck down' by disease a.1, liy the avenging angel, It
seizes upon him us docs n roaring
Hon, It consumes him ns does a
lire, The attitude of the moil leal
imiii toward disease is lhat of on
opponent In deadly Influences.
"He hns to combat an enemy lo
mankind whose every movement is
dark and malicious. There is no
symptom of disease that is not believed io be noxious and, as such,
musl be slumped nut. with relentless
determination,
"if the patient be 111, the Illness
musl be stayed. 11 lie coughs, the
cough must cease. If he fulls lo
lake food, he must be made lo eat.
Ami why? Because these aro muni-
fesliil iiiim of dinniise und therefore of
ill Intent uml to he banished.
BENEFITS OF DISEASE,
"I hold that there is nothing preternatural tn disease; Ihal Its phenomena or symploms are marl ed by
purpose und Hint that purpose is
bt-neliei nt.
"Disease is one of the good gifts,
for ils motive is benevolent and
protective, I cannot express that
more precisely than hy saying that,
if il. were not for disease, (he human
race would soon be extinct."
Sir P'rcdorlfk Treves Ihen demonstrated his proposition by instances.
His first wus Unit of a wound nnd
the supervening Inflammation which
was a process of cure to lie Imitated
rnl.her llian hindered.

Tho general mortality of Hie common disease known ns append lei Us
was low. This fortunate circumstance was due In peril onil is, for
with oil I that much abused ally every
example or the disorder would lit

Another instance given was I'mt
of a roiiuium cold, which wns no
doubt ihe so-called bacterial disease.
MANIFESTATIONS OF CURE,
"According l.o popular medicine,"
he said, "the phenomena constituting disease are purposeless, profitless and wantonly distressful, so
that the victim demands from Ihe
physician means for stamping out
tlie trouble. These symptoms, however, utv in Hie main manifestations
of a process of cure and are so far
benevolent Uml without them n common cold might be a fatal malady.
"Catarrh and perslstenl snoozing
are practical moans of dislodging
bacteria frum the nnsnl possagos,
while the cough removes theni from
the windpipe."
Tho lecturer Ihen described llie
symploms of malnriti and buboni-z
plague, bolh ol bacterial origin, nnd
also discussed tlie question of immunity and said:—
