Black Rod gave three meek knocks with the staff from which he is named, and the door was at once politely opened to him. He advanced with bows to left and right, and summoned the Commons to the Lords, where fire commis Bioners in scarlet and ermine, re- presented the King.

Lepers who are in poor circum stances, and who voluntarily seek treatment, can sign & statement to remain in an undertaking institution for a certain number of years or until they are cured, and this practice is becoming much more common than it used to be. with the adoption of the latest methods of treatment the death rate in the Colony's leper asylums has been halved in recent years and patients are discharged as cured every year.

WHY OUR WOMEN LIVE

[BY DR. C. W. BALFERY, P.R.S-E.]

Antemia, or bloodlessness, may be due to many causes. Within recent years we have learnt how to con- quer the two most striking and characteristic kinds of anemin; in

both cases the means are extremely simple and the results are glorious. In this article I shall deal with the conquest of primary anemia, so called, known ne green-sickness in Shakespeare's time; and in the naxt with the conquest of per nicious anæmis, until the other day ufatal and hopeless disease.

Unnatural Lives.

The great remedy was supposed to be iron, for certainly the blood of these girls was poor in iron. Yet proof was easy that their prdinary diet wontained more daily iron than the blood needs for its maintenance, and evidently lack of iron was not the cause of their, malady.

The cause was the pitifully us natural lives those girls led--con- fined indoors nearly all the time, taking very little exercise, absurdly overclothed in long skirts, thick stockings, high-necked blouses, and deprived of the breath and the light of life. O course they were constipated, and thus their blood was always being poisoned from within and was therefore destroyed more quickly than it could be made without the wonderful blood-form ing action of sunlight upon the

skin.

Needless to say, these chlorotic girls were easy prey for the germa of tuberculosis a dread disease which has immensely diminished, among young girls since the dis appearance of chlorosis,
