A VISIT TO WORMWOOD SCRUBĖS.

A WEIRD. EXPERIENCE AND A BRAVE ACT.

| Captain F., J. Roden, of the Clan Line steamer Clan Macneil, kas just addressed tho. following letter to the Secretary of the Imperial Merchant Service Guild :—

By courtesy of the Prison Commissioners I have been allowed to talk to the senior medical officer of the largest prison in England (Worm- wood Scrubbs) about the hospital. There are no women at the Scrabbs, but it is a fair ex- ample of those establishments where Suffraget-ng af Queen's Dock, Glasgow, quite recently, tes have been treated by the doctors for refusing the Chief Officer observad bubbles coming up between the Quay and the vessel. Shortly afterwards a man's head appeared above water and immediately disappeared.

Dr. R. H. Paton is a tall, fair man, who strikes one as being essentially humane and kind to his charges.

The riu that drove before the south-west wind made me hurry towards the huge green doors, Banked by the dull brick towers which are the portals of "the Scrubbs."

The wardar's step and jaugling keys answer- Feed the clanging of the boil. I passed through the gate into an arched entranco ball opening on to the prison grounds, closed by a door of iron bars. A warder took me to the doctora sancium.

the discretion of the medical officer. When a man is ill his punishment is in abeyance-he is treated as a sick man. Wine, chicken, fab, and all the usual luxuries are in evidence.

There are lawas where the convalescents lie —splendid beds of flowers for them to see.

One old man, blind in one eye; in a one-bed ward, complained of his milk, "Beggin' your pardon, sir, it's sour, siri Might I have it at night, sir, 'stead of morning?".

"Sour, Smith?"

Then after about three days' starvation the patient (no longer segarded as a prisoner, mark you !) is taken to an airy, comfortable room in the hospital and laid upon his back upon a bed or sat open a chale. The soft, flexible, wesphaged tube is passed through the nose or mouth, and egg and milk or extract of beef slowly filtered into the stomach.

THE DOCTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY.

The prison doctor is in a position of great responsibility, for his recommendations are, to all intents, supreme. He has to have a vast knowledge of human nature, and be able to detect the numerous instances of "shaming which come before him.

In prisons, as in war as in, hospitals, ons deals in bed-rock humau waturs stripped of all venders and lies:
