I do, therefore, "most sincerely congratulate the Now Territories Medical Benevolent Society and all. those who have supported and help. od the Society on what they have already done. May this hospital which I am about to opon prove a real blessing to the people of the Now Territories and may its in- anguration mark a further stage of development in the awakening of the conscience of this Colony to ita collective responsibility to per- sovers in the grim struggle against disease, and ignorance which has scarcely yet began.
The French have a proverb that he who lacks health lacks every- thing." Die we all must; we are all condemned to death with a more or less indefinite reprieve. That is the lot of mortals; we bow so, it But the appalling waste of energy and life due to diseases which are perfectly preventiblo; the sufferings of children; these are things intoler- able things that we have no busi-. ness to accept as inevitable.
