CANTON NOTES,

Canton, May 15, 1896, That I nate you quote a very good saim of an Eastern Dootor hearing on Banite.

The plague here appears to be less avera tion, and it amounts to this that what is in ite ravages than it was some faw wucks principally needed all-round in 'elbow. grezze.'

That two additions to or corrections of this theory and practies of sanitation may be givoo.

That when elbow-gronto" has been pe- glected for nearly half a century, chloride of limo and even the destruction of the houses may become absolutely necessary That no possible cirotsustances can possibly excuse, far less jualify, the displacement of 'elbow grease' by 'palm oil That it is ssetningly do far fortunate that Mr Danby has succeeded in checking any possible tendency in that direction.
