"The questions regardingp ;tranitation which have lately arisen are of such general import log into paint." It seems to me that Dr. Clark's proposals for ensuring as far as possible the detection of sea-borne disere are only such as (perhaps with slight modifications) would be adopted by any sanitary authority which bad an adequate sense of its zz]ponsibl- titles towards the community, and certainly had I will been a member of the Sani- taty Board he should have had my support. It is unfortunate that the only uneficial member, who is both a keen sanlaitro and acquainted

Dear Sir,-Adverting to yours of the 19th fast, I regret to say that the reply, as I think you will admit, is unsalisfactory. The postman only presented the letter to the two women once and becausa neither of them could write, never told them that they were to go to the Post Office to siga a teceipt, They knew no thing of this till i sent them word yesterday, What is the use of a Registered Post if addres- sees have to go at great froonvenience to the Post Office themselves although the lelter is addressed correctly, and the parties are well known ?:
Xmas way it is "nós businesslika," and -Ï think it is very questionable if you kars power to adopt swol proceeding.➡Yours truly,
