Political vultures from all parts of China are casting covetous eyes on Canton, rival forces being at work to prevent hostile factions getting into power or approaching too near.

There are indications that help will be forthcoming for the Kwangsi Party in their attempt, if sustained, to recover control of the Canton Government from the Ironsides.

Military complications may affect the whole situation in the east of Kwangtung and several armies may soon threaten Swatow again.

The General in command at Kongmoon has declared his independence of Canton."

The Diplomatic Corps in Peking have held more than one meeting recently to discuss piracy, but по announce- ment has been made so far regarding the contemplated steps. It is understood that the Ministers are still awaiting instructions from their respective Governments.

SETTING ONE DISEASE TO CURE ANOTHER.

THE CHINA MAIL,

A MIRACLE OF MEDICINE.

The Medical Correspondent of "The Observer" writes:—

A doctor from St. Thomas's Hospital, giving evidence at a Lambeth inquest on Monday, refer- rod to the use of malaria as a cure

for paralysis and mental disorders. Medical science has for some time jbeen following up this line of in- vestigation, and the sight of two successful thieves tricked into full- Ing out gives a peculiar satisfac. tion to mankind.

"People must not be allowed to fast unless a trained doctor is there to see that they do it pro- perly. Many doctors recommend- ed courses of treatment on the lines of non-meat diet and a variety of electrical and water cures. It is very desirable that homes should be provided where these methods of treatment can all be pursued under one roof and at an inclusive cost which is not any greater than that of a room in a nursing home.

Preventive Treatment. "Medical treatment of a pre- ventive character, upon which all doctors should concentrate to-day, should be cheap, but medical treatment of a curative character is very expensive, and cannot be otherwise. Our bodies are like motor engines. You can run your motor engine with little expense, but if it breaks down the cost of overhaul is likely to be consider- able. So it is with the human machine.
