It is not too much to a say that the science has made anhealthy" tropical countries comparatively healthy, and that even districts which were supposed to be absolutely deadly are now no more -than-rather trying for the white man if he exercises proper care and takes the right - disi—with not too much drink. It is the drink and food that lay the foundation upon which ditears builds; but with a more exact know. ledge of what one may and may not do and more attention paid to hygiene, the white man of good constitution now finds most parts of thë tropica open to him. A great part of the im- provement cannot be ascribed solely to the study of tropical medicine; but though that is at present only in its infancy, it has come near to revolutionising the tropical world. And whel has been achieved is little in comparison, "with what will be achieved as the years bring. more experience.

According to Dr. Chesney, it is the suspen. slop of garments from the shoulders which is the great hygienic evil, sartorially speaking, and is responsible for the preferential invasion of the pulmonary apices by the tubercle ba cilitis. he goes on to defend the custom of -wearing low-necked evening dress, thin shoes and stockings, and scanty underwear at dances and other forms of evening amusement,

'It might well be supposed that to alternate violent exercise with exposure to draughts while only partially clad, in spells of five minutes each for half the night, is to iavits pulmonary diseases; but Dr. Choinoy says that, in point of fact, women very rarely catch cold in the evening: there is far leis barm, sho thinks, in uncovering the chest, haud, &c,, for a portion of the day than in coddling them the whole clock round, and she is especially insist- est on the detriment of heavy woolfen under. garments-The Hospital,
