        "content_text": "in the work of tuition, along with sound principles, a most amiable disposition and remarkable good sense. He has been known to me since 1854, when I was Professor of Greek in the University, and when he recommended himself to my favorable notice as a student. I have watched his subsequent career with great interest, and know him well to be all that I have stated. He has not only been a distinguished Student, but has gained in every way the regard and affection of his Professors and fellow-students. His name is Frederick Stewart, and his present address, Strebington House, Fareham, Hants.\n\nI confess that I scarcely expected a young man so much esteemed among us, and sure of advancement at home, to be willing to go abroad, but he informs me that he is willing to accept the situation at Hongkong, as one that offers a peculiarly interesting sphere of usefulness, should Your Lordship give him the appointment.\n\nI shall be happy to answer any enquiries regarding him which you may think it...",

        "content_text": "## THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH\n\n### ARTICLES OF IMPORT\n\n#### TEA\nThe public sale of last week was larger than any that have been held for many months past, and consisted principally of a good selection of Congous and Scented Teas. The prices obtained for Congous were very irregular, owing to the hesitation of buyers; but, on the whole, they showed a decline on those given at the last sale. There is no alteration of importance in the value of Scented Teas, with the exception of the lower grades of Scented Orange Pekoes, which are rather lower, and all descriptions of Green Tea realised full prices. Some dust sold at the sale at 4d. to 6d., but it was offered \"with all faults.\" Some interest was taken in a few parcels of Japan Greens, of Rifleman, which has just arrived, and a few transactions in them have taken place, and the remainder of this cargo will no doubt be readily disposed of, as there is a good demand for all descriptions of Green Teas. The market price of Common Congou is 11d. per lb. Sound Broken Leaf can be bought at 6½d. per lb., and Tea Dust at about 5½d. per lb.\n\n#### SILK\nSince our last report the Silk market has experienced little or no change, no one buying beyond present requirements. The absence of demand, both at home and abroad, has been almost unprecedented, and prices are mostly nominal. The arrival this week of some of the early shipments of the new China crop has created a slight diversion, about 400 bales finding buyers; the opening price of Tsatlee being 26s. to 30s. In Canton Silk there has been some little business doing at rather easier rates, but the assortment is by no means generally desirable. Japan Silk is quite neglected. The total deliveries show a slight improvement, being 407 bales China, and 234 bales Japan. We can as yet discern no general improvement in the Silk market; the first unloading of new Chinas has naturally attracted some attention, and led to some little business, but there is no disposition on the part of the trade to buy more Silk than is absolutely necessary, and speculation seems out of the question. The opening price for classic No. 3 Tsatlee, 29s., is higher than some people expected, but appears moderate as compared with the quotations we have for some time past been accustomed to. There is a wide margin between chop Silk and medium and inferior descriptions, red Peacock having been sold at 26s. 6d., and good No. 4 at 26s. The estimate of export for the season has been reduced by recent telegrams from China to 40,000 bales, and if the reported failure of the second crop prove true, it is possible that even this figure may not be reached. In Japan Silk there is nothing doing, the best descriptions of Mibash are firmly held, but ordinary and inferior qualities are pressed for sale.\n\n| Description | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| Taatlee, No. 1 & 2 | 26 0 to 30 0 |\n| No. 3 | 24 0 to 27 0 |\n| Tsenfa and Hainio, No. 1 & 2 | 20 0 to 23 0 |\n| No. 3 | 18 0 to 20 0 |\n| Tarsaam, No. 1 & 2 | 18 0 to 23 0 |\n| No. 3 | 14 0 to 20 0 |\n| Long Reel Skeins | ... |\n| Canton | ... |\n| Japan: Tsinchew & Sinchew, No. 1 & 2 | 17 0 to 23 0 |\n| Ida, Bricks, No. 1 & ... | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n| No. 3 | 27 0 to 30 0 |\n| Soudni, No. 1 & 2 | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n| No. 3 | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n\n#### COTTON\nThe market since our last report has remained extremely quiet, the business having been to some extent restricted by the firmness of holders. The only sale of China reported is of 30 bales fair quality at 6¼d. per lb.\n\n#### SUGAR\nThere has been a fair demand from the trade, but speculators having done but little in the article scarcely any alteration in prices has taken place, and quotations of most descriptions are about the same as on the 8th ult. Foreign refined continues to be offered at prices lower than to allow the English refiners to compete with profitable results, but as the prospects of supply from the cane-growing countries indicate an out-turn by no means equal to our requirements, it is not probable that any material fall in values will take place, unless, indeed, the production of beetroot sugar should be on a larger scale than hitherto. The deliveries in all the sugar-consuming countries are progressing most satisfactorily, showing a decided and steady increase. The last sale of the Dutch Trading Company took place on the 24th ult., and comprised 39,000 baskets, Java; grey and yellow realised the rates current at the May sale, but white sold at 1s. decline. The principal transactions on the spot have comprised 14,000 casks West India; 16,000 bags Mauritius; 8,000 bags Bengal; 14,000 bags Madras; 1,500 bags Penang; 33,000 bags Manila; 1,200 casks Cuba and Porto Rico, and 850 bags Guatemala. The imports of sugar into the United Kingdom during the seven months ending 31st July amounted to 341,758 tons, against 322,277; the deliveries for home consumption were 316,846 tons, against 272,761, and for export and coastwise 5,966 tons, against 18,006. The stock on the 1st August was 189,736 tons, against 221,253 at the same date in 1866.\n\n#### SPICES\nAt the quarterly sales on the 29th ultimo, comprising 1,260 tons, bales Ceylon, good and fine qualities were difficult to sell, and only partly realised at moderate prices; medium quality brought full rates, and the inferior sorts an advance of 1d. to 2d. on the April sales, viz., fourths 1s. 3d. to 1s. 9d., thirds 1s. 10d. to 2s. 1d., seconds 2s. to 2s. 6d., firsts 2s. 6d. to 2s. 9d., and superior 2s. 6d. to 3s. 1d. per lb. Mace continues scarce and firm; 2 cases Penang at auction sold at 1s. 10d. to 1s. 11d. per lb. for medium reddish. Nutmegs are 1¼d. to 2d. per lb. dearer, with increased inquiry; good business done privately; 14 cases Penang and 37 cases Batavia sold at auction at 1s. 2d. to 1s. 9d. per lb. for ordinary small to middling medium. Sapanwood: Steady, and tons Siam at auction realised £12 to £12 15s., also one-third of 35 tons Ceylon offered, realised £10 15s. per ton.\n\n#### COFFEE\nThere has been a good demand, and although supplies have been ample, the values of good current descriptions have been maintained. Fine sorts have shown an advancing tendency, but common and low qualities have sold irregularly and at lower rates. The shipments from Ceylon at the last returns were 714,000 cwts., against 723,000 last season, made up of 545,000 cwts. Plantation and 169,000 cwts. Native, against 510,000 and 213,000, and the quantity now afloat for this country is 18,000 tons, against 18,000 last year. The principal transactions on the spot, with the latest prices paid, have comprised 6,000 casks 2,000 bags Plantation Ceylon, low middling to good bold greens 74s. 6d. to 84s. 6d., low middling to good middling blue 74s. 6d. to 82s., bold 85s. 6d., peaberry 91s. to 95s.; 200 casks 2,500 bags Native Ceylon, fine ordinary bold 64s., good ordinary 59s., small 50s., peaberry 65s. 6d. to 65s.; and 8,000 packages East India - Singapore, ordinary 45s. to 48s., Java 68s. The total deliveries of coffee in Holland from the 1st of January to the 31st of July were 484,694 bags, against 358,307 bags in 1866, and the stock at the end of last month was 525,500 bags, against 580,100 bags.\n\n#### CURRANTS\nIn fair demand, and 2,000 packages good Pegu have realised 37s. to 38s. per cwt.\n\n#### CAMPHOR\nChina and Japan descriptions are firm, with fair private business at £6 15s. to £7 per cwt.\n\n#### GUM BENJAMIN\nThe market is steady, and of 56 cases Siam at auction half sold at £24 to £24 15s. per cwt. For fine third quality, and £11 to £11 15s. for dark. Of 42 cases Sumatra three-fourths sold at £8 2s. 6d. to £8 12s. 6d. per cwt. for false packed second quality.\n\n#### GALLS\nThe transactions have comprised 100 cases China at 6¼s., and a small portion Japan at 5¾s. per cwt.\n\n#### MANILA HEMP\nThe market is now firm, with a moderate business at fully the previous rates, 587 bales having been sold at auction at £49 10s. to £50 5s. per ton for fair current quality.\n\n#### PEPPER\nThere has been a fair inquiry for black privately, and nearly 8,000 bags have been sold, Penang at 2¼d. to 2 15/16d., Singapore 3d. to 5/16d., and Tellicherry at 3¼d. At public sale, 840 bags Penang were all taken at 2¼d.; also 164 bags Singapore White at 5d. to 5¼d., and 100 bags privately at 5d. cash.\n\n#### RICE\nA rise in the Corn market, consequent upon the uncertain weather, has been followed by a movement in this article. Owing, however, to the small stock there has been but little in which to operate on the spot, and in consequence the greater part of the transactions have taken place in floating cargoes or parcels. About 18,000 bags have changed hands on the spot at full to rather higher prices, viz., 10s. 9d. to 12s. 3d. for Soft-grain, and 16s. to 16s. 6d. for white Bengal. Of floating cargoes about forty have changed hands, the latest sales being at 11s. to 11s. 3d. for ...\n\n#### TAPIOCA\nAt auction 136 bags Singapore were chiefly sold, good middling and good white 4¼d. to 5d. per lb.; and 165 bags pearl Tapioca fetched 30s. to 31s. per cwt.\n\n### ARTICLES OF EXPORT\n\n#### IRON\nThe quotations in London are for Welsh bars, £5 15s. to £6; nail rods, £7 10s. to £7 15s.; hoops, £8 10s. to £9; sheets, single, £9 15s. to £10; Staffordshire bars, £7 10s. to £7 15s.; rails, £4 5s.\n\n#### COPPER\nSheet and Sheathing, £79 to £83 per ton; yellow metal, 7d. to 7¼d. per lb.\n\n#### TIN\n£91 for block; £92 for common bars. Tin plates, best charcoal I.C., 30s. to 31s.\n\n#### LEAD, &c.\nEnglish pig, W.B., £21; shot, patent, £23; sheet, £20 15s.; spelter, £20 17s. 6d.; zinc, English sheet, £26 to £26 10s.; quicksilver, £6 17s. 6d.\n\nThe following is from the Circular of Messrs. French and Smith :- \nThere has been no activity in the Metal Market the past month, the increasing abundance and cheapness of money having apparently no influence. Almost all transactions reported have been for immediate consumption or shipment. Iron: Scotch and Welsh are quoted a shade easier; Staffordshire is steady, with a good demand for the East; and as some few of the railways are on the market again for Rails, a firmer tone in this branch of the trade may reasonably be expected. Copper is rather lower than at the beginning of July. The mail on 18th ult., brought advices of charters for about 1,400 tons Copper, 850 tons of which were Bars. That on the 29th ult. brought advices of about 1,800 tons Copper, of which 1,200 were Bars. Sales of Bars have been made at £67 10s. Prices now quoted are: Bars, £84 to £85; Wallaroo, £82 to £83; English Tough Cake, £75 to £76; Chili Bars, £68 to £69. Tin: A large business was done in Tin during July, principally for immediate delivery; and the quantity of Straits taken out of warehouse here is very large. The consumption in England continues great, especially for Tin-Plate manufacturers, whose works were never more fully employed. The price for fine Straits in July was between £86 10s. and £87; it is rather weak Banca is at the latter quotation to-day through some pressing sellers. steady in Holland at 53 guilders; English firm, at quotations. Tin Plates are in very good demand, and, notwithstanding the large production, prices are rather stronger. The shipments in July were 140,000 boxes, against 165,000 boxes same month in 1866. By the Board of Trade returns, the exports, January to June, were 36,690 tons, against 34,750 tons in 1866, and 30,410 in 1855. Lead is more inquired for, although there is no improvement in price. Spelter advanced in the middle of July to £21 5s., at which some small business was done, but has gone back to £20 17s. 6d. The stock on 31st July was 3,627 tons, against 6,808 tons in 1866. Quicksilver unchanged.\n\n### EXPORT OF BULLION TO CHINA, &c.\n\nThe following return shows the shipments of bullion from Southampton from the 1st January by the P. and O.

        "content_text": "302\n\n296\n\nTHE SANITARY RECORD.\n\n(F) Power of Entry\nUnder sect. 102, Public Health Act, 1875, the local authority or any of its officers have power of entry to any premises to examine for nuisances, enforcing the smoke prevention provisions, or examine as to recurring nuisances.\n\nTo enter upon land (sect. 105, Public Health Act, 1875) for the purposes of making plans, surveying, measuring, levelling, keeping in repair or examining works, ascertain the course of sewers or drains, or ascertaining or fixing boundaries and many other purposes.\n\nQuestion 3.\nWhat are the chief principles to be observed in the sewerage of a town or district, and how would you proceed to determine the size and capacity of the outfall sewer? What size of sewer would you propose for a town of 25,000 population where the gradient is 1 in 300? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Geographical configuration, annual average rainfall, number of present population and prospective increase, taking the last census as a basis. Whether a full water-closet town, or if to be sewered on the separate system: the nature of the outfall with a view to gravitation or mechanical lifting, and other minor causes.\n\nThe size of the outfall sewer, in my opinion, should be not less than 3 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 6 inches, discharging 185 cubic feet per minute, thus allowing the sewage at 30 cubic feet per head per day to be discharged in eight hours. On the separate system this capacity for a full water closet town, and to allow for heavy rainfalls, say 3 feet by 4 feet 6 inches, if rain or surface waters is to be included, discharging 267 cubic feet per minute, with the inclination given of 1 in 300.\n\nQuestion 4\nWrite a specification for laying stoneware pipe sewers.\n\nAnswer: Being the specification for a pipe sewer, I assume that any local surveyor would be equal to this, and as it would take up a very considerable space in the SANITARY RECORD, without a corresponding benefit to surveyors generally, I omit to take up the space, the general features of such a specification being that the pipes shall be straight, sound, and true to bore, well and truly laid, and jointed in a perfectly water-tight manner; the earth excavated at the collars so that the body of the pipe may have a true bearing along its whole length. If in faulty ground concreted all around and on top to exclude uneven pressure; if on good ground, then the earth put in 6-inch layers, well rammed in around and above to avoid sinkage. All laid in straight lines from manhole to manhole, with provision for ventilation and lighting, so that a lamp inserted at a lamphole may be seen and show a light to an adjacent manhole, thus at once showing where any stoppage existed.\n\nQuestion 5.\nSupposing a sewer to have a gradient of 1 in 300, how much would the velocity and discharge be increased by altering the gradient to 1 in 60?\n\nAnswers: 1 in 300 = 4/57*32) = 7*92 increase of discharge per second. 1 in 60 = /1000 = 10*00) = 17*32 (1.732 increase of velocity per second.\n\n1005\n\n7320\n\n2000\n\n3200\n\n3000\n\n2000\n\n22000\n\nQuestion 6.\nGive a description of the process termed intermittent downward filtration. State what area of land you would require with a gravelly soil for applying this method of purifying sewage to a town with a population of 20,000 inhabitants; and state the arrangements you would adopt for dealing with the rain water falling on the roofs, yards, and streets.\n\nAnswer: Intermittent downward filtration may be termed a natural system of purification of sewage by means of the filtering and aërating action of the soil: it is carried on by discharging (with or without previous precipitation) upon a properly prepared area, the sewage of the town under drainage. This sewage is conducted upon the prepared area by a series of carriers, and then allowed to filter through the land into drains laid about 6 feet under ground, from whence it (as an effluent) is conducted to its outfall, mostly a river. The action upon the sewage is threefold—viz., evaporation, aëration, and filtration, and if properly conducted should give an effluent of a very high standard.\n\nAs to the amount of land requisite for the purification of the sewage of a town of 20,000 population, authorities differ, but taking the daily amount of sewage per head at 30 gallons, and the average of five persons to each house equal to 150 gallons per house per day, then the fact that this quantity must be got rid of in about eight hours, it would not be safe to reckon less than 1,000 gallons per house. Then taking 4,000 houses, there would be 4,000,000 gallons of sewage to deal with, which could be successfully treated on 5 acres of such land; but it would, of course, require that a very far larger amount should be provided, as no land could be expected to be constantly under treatment, and the least amount should be five times this quantity, so as to have only one-fifth under treatment.\n\nGreat diversity of opinion exists upon this subject, and no very hard and fast line can be drawn. Each case must rest upon individual merits and local circumstances.\n\nWith regard to dealing with rain-water from roofs, most of it should undoubtedly be stored for domestic use, as it is far too valuable to be uselessly wasted. Drainage from yards and roads should be conducted in separate channels (from the sewer proper) to a natural outfall: although often in storms the washings from roads may be nearly as bad as sewage; but, on the other hand, if the surface-water were admitted, the sewers would have to be greatly increased in size to provide for excessive rainfall.\n\nQuestion 7.\nDescribe and illustrate by sketches the essential points to be observed in carrying out a system of house drainage, and the best means of providing urinal and closet accommodation for schools, workhouses, and similar institutions.\n\nQuestion 8.\nIn arranging the water supply for a manufacturing town of 30,000 inhabitants, state what you consider of importance as regards (A) Sources of supply; (B) Quantity required; (C) Distribution.\n\nAnswer: (A) The geographical situation of the town, as to the possibility of gravitation from rivers or otherwise; the geological situation of its surroundings, with a view to its probability of affording a sufficiency of supply and its nature as to hardness, &c.; the annual average rainfall: what water rights, if any, existed; the present population and prospective rate of increase, and whether the town was a full water-closet one or otherwise.\n\n(B) Twenty-five to thirty gallons per head population.\n\n(C) Under pressure that all cisterns had ball-cocks and tell-tale overflows; that Deacon's waste-water preventers were in use; that a thorough system of inspection existed to detect waste; that the mains were well laid and efficiently jointed, and that a sufficiency existed for immediate use in case of fire. In the constant service system there is very little, if any, waste; the returns from many towns showing none; but in the intermittent there is often a large amount of waste through neglect of the inhabitants and defective fittings. The screw-down tap somewhat modifies this, but it is a very slow and unsatisfactory way of drawing water.\n\nQuestion 9.\nDescribe the general characters of the waters derived from—(1) The chalk; (2) the new red sandstone; (3) the carboniferous formations; and the methods by which water should be obtained from each.\n\nAnswer: (1) Water derived from the chalk formation, although generally pure and plentiful (except in long seasons of drought), is often very hard, leaving injurious effects on some constitutions.\n\n(2) Water derived from the new red sandstone formation is sometimes of a rather hard description, but not to the degree of that yielded by the chalk formation.\n\n(3) The carboniferous (or coal measure) formations always yields soft water of undoubted purity, and generally in ample volume for all purposes.\n\nQuestion 10.\nIn what ways is water able to be polluted after collection, during its distribution to houses, and in houses? What means would you adopt to prevent such pollution?\n\nAnswer: Water may become polluted after collection by fungoid growths and atmospheric influences (where exposed to such): during distribution, from imperfect pipes and joints allowing sewer or other gas to enter the mains; in houses, by improper fittings, such as a cistern in direct communication with the drain, or so placed as to be difficult of cleansing, and frequently not ventilated, and other insidious causes.\n\nQuestion 11.\nWhat fittings, and plumber's work generally are required for a high-pressure constant water service? How would you make the connection with the main? Describe the kinds of joints which should be used on the branches?\n\nAnswer: The class of fittings required for the high-pressure constant service are iron tubular services with iron angle or T-pieces, either tinned or galvanised. Where lead must be used the joints should be what is known as plumber's or wiped joints, the taps being those known as the high-pressure screw-down service taps, the connection with the main being by a ferrule; plumber's joints on branches, unless iron unions are used.\n\nQuestion 12.\nThere is great difficulty in obtaining a supply of good water for a country house, and it is therefore necessary to obtain as much water as possible from the roofs, and to use it for drinking and cooking purposes. The total area of area of the roof of the house and offices is 8,000 square feet, and the average annual rainfall is about 40 inches. Calculate what size the storage tank should be, and give a sketch of it and of its appendages?\n\nAnswer: Size of storage tank, 160,000 gallons.\n\nQuestion 13.\nTo what extent does the size of a room affect the quantity of fresh air required for effective ventilation, and what quantity of air would be required per hour for a room containing 8,000 cubic feet, occupied by fifteen people? How would you ventilate such a room? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Douglas Galton in 'Healthy Homes' quotes: \"According to theoretical calculations, it would appear that, with an initial air space of 1,000 cubic feet, occupied by one individual, it would be necessary to supply 3,000 cubic feet per hour, to maintain the room in a proper condition of humidity. As regards other impurities, if 0.6 per 1,000 of CO2 are accepted as the limit of respiratory impurity in a well-ventilated air space, in addition to the 0.4 per 1,000 in normal air, we can calculate out the amount of air necessary for the purpose; and from this calculation it appears that it requires 3,000 cubic feet per hour to preserve the air-space in the required state of freshness. Thus the theoretical calculations, based first upon humidity, and secondly on carbonic acid, bring us to similar conclusions in each case.\"\n\nDe Chaumont in Parkes' 'Practical Hygiene': \"A certain amount of fresh air has to pass through a given space in a fixed time in order to maintain a certain degree of purity; the amount has been fixed at 3,000 cubic feet for each healthy person in an hour. Thus a space of 100 cubic feet must have its air changed thirty times in an hour. If 3,000 feet of air are to be given, while a space of 1,000 cubic feet need only have it changed three times in an hour for an equal ventilation, then our problem being 15 persons in a room of 8,000 cubic feet, would work out thus: - 3,000 x 15 = 45,000 cubic feet of air as requisite. The room being of 8,000 cubic feet capacity would require the air to be changed nearly 5.6 times in an hour.\n\nCOMPETITIONS.\nSANITARY INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN.\nAt an Examination, held Nov. 11 and 12, 62 Candidates presented themselves as Local Surveyors and 59 as Inspectors of Nuisances.

This was followed by the usual Local Government Inquiry, at which some evidence in opposition was given. At the meeting of the Bridgend Rural Sanitary Authority on the 4th inst., the question was discussed, and a resolution passed upholding a previous one in favour of the formation of the proposed district, as they 'saw no reason to change their opinion after hearing the objections raised at the recent Government Inquiry.'\n\nNOTES AND QUERIES.\n\nHaving for some time back been in the receipt of Queries appertaining strictly to sanitary work, and which it would be easy to answer, without having to refer our correspondents to competent professional advisers, we have opened a column in which to register such Queries and Replies thereto as can fairly be expected from us; and our subscribers and readers are invited to make such use of this column as will tend to benefit themselves and the community. Both Queries and Replies will, however, be subjected, if unnecessarily long, to a strict curtailment.\n\n205. TEST SOLUTIONS FOR WATER ANALYSIS.\n\nI should be much obliged if you would state where you would recommend me to get reliable test solutions for water analysis according to Wanklyn.\n\nR.M.O.H. [Messrs. Y. E. Becker & Co., 34 Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, W.C., supply the solutions in a satisfactory state.—ED.]\n\n206. WATER SUPPLY.\n\nCan you recommend me any book that gives the average quantity of water used or required per head of population throughout the country?\n\nC. W. P.\n\nThe most reliable information as to the quantity of water which should preferably be allowed per head of population under varying conditions is to be found in Parkes' and De Chaumont's 'Practical Hygiene,' and it would, perhaps, be useless to seek elsewhere, as all the information upon this subject is brought down to a late date. Consult the Sixth Edition (1883) of the above work, pages 3 to 7. The publishers are Messrs. J. & A. Churchill, 11 New Burlington Street, London, W. (See also SANITARY RECORD, Aug. 16, 1886, page 91.) All engineers strive as much as possible to allow 30 gallons per head for domestic purposes, and in the work above mentioned this amount is thus distributed—Domestic supply (without bath or closets), 20 gallons; add for general baths, 4 gallons; water-closets, 6 gallons; unavoidable waste, 3 gallons—total, 33 gallons.—ED.]\n\n207. QUALIFICATIONS OF A CHIEF INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES.\n\nWhat do you consider the proper qualifications for a chief inspector of nuisances in a town of between 90,000 and 100,000 inhabitants, whose salary will be between £140 and £160 per annum? There will be several inspectors under him, and there is a medical officer of health who does not practise privately.\n\nALPHA.\n\nThis is not a question which lends itself to any such short answer as alone is possible for us in this corner of the RECORD. But our correspondent will find fully detailed remarks as to the qualifications for the post which he describes in the number for May 15, 1883, p. 510.]\n\nJEYES' PERFECT PURIFIER' is a disinfectant in fluid form of extraordinary efficacy.
