Immigrant Jugheetor Lewis, Ca Vincent, N.Y., when asked in roy to the sending back to Kingston of Patrick Ready, a veteran of the Unit- ed States war 'of 18-64, who at- tempted to land at Cape Vincent, in order to have his claims for a pension made good, had the following to say » "I am not responsible for the mis- fortune of Patrick Ready, and was sor- ry I had to send him back to Canada, but the immigration laws are such that when persons like Mr, Ready de: sire to travel from country to country in his condition (a public charge) they should at least carry a discharge from 'the United States government to show the inspector, who might ques- tion his right to land, just what he was. Such things do not cost the par- ty anything, and can be proenrsd at any time. Again, Mr. ing in the condition he claims he has for the past forty yedrs, and with so many soldier's homes in the state, it seems as though he might have taken ad- Vantage of the opportunity offered by the United States government for just such as he, and not travelled into oth- er countries asking aid ' when it was not necessary. I did not. think Mr. ly was in condition at his age to walk and beg his way from here to Washington, which he admitted he would have to do, and, therefore, sent him back to Kingston and directed him to Col, JTwitchell, the American tonsul, and have him take the case up with the officials at Washington, and should he be able to prove his identity as an old soldier, he would then be permitted to enter the United States." -- : LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

R. B, Williamson, in conclusion says : "The case was of interest for vari- ous. reasons. The disease. is not com: mon in English-speaki countries, but is quite common in Russia and Italy. I saw a number of cases of the disease in Mackenzie's clinie * in the London General Hospital, in Whitechapel, and also in Crocker's clinic at University College Hospital, and all were immigrants from the above named countries. In Kingston the late Dr. Herald reported a = case in 1885, and although there may have been scattred cases since then I have not been ably to get any re- cord of them. "Another matter of interest. was the. possible source -of- infeétion: The infant was only three months old 1 had never seen any evidence of the disease on anyone in the household, and the mother denied that either herself or any of her relatives had (ever suffered from it: She informed | me, however, that several Russian fJews, whe had fled from: their = own | country to avoid participation in the war with Japan, had remained in Kingston from varying periods and had frequently been in her house. Now I have ng evidence that the dis- case was introduced in this way, but taking all the facts into consideration it seems probable that such was the case. This, of course, would wean | that at some one of the ports of en- | try the medical examination of immi grants is not as strict 'as it should be, for the examining medical officers are quite definitely instructed regard- ing such discgses. The Canadian re fr ations place the disease in class I, i.e. : Those persons who, by reason of contagious or loathsome diseases, not necessarily dangerous to life, but which may become chronic or incur ahle, must be held for examination | a8 to whether the conclusion that they are likely to become a public charge can be justified. "Passing on from the subject of source to that of possible result in such cases, it must be admitted that these are' sufficiently loathsome, if not actually serious, to merit the most scrupulous care on the part of { physicians both in diagnoses and treatment, for the fact that we have {up to the present been free from the disease is no guarantee that our | country will remain so. Now that the eyes of Europeans are turned towards Canada and emigration is being di- rected to this country, any laxity on | the part of medical men, especially at the ports of entry, might have very f far-reaching effects. The disease is | slow in developing, but when develop- od it is one of the most intractable | of the parasitic skin diseases, and a | few cases in the public schools might | lead to an olitbreak that would quire years to stamp out." re Safety For Children. Mothers should never give their lit tle ones a medicine that they do not know to be absolutely safe and harmless. All so-called soothing | medicines. contain poisonous opiates that stupefy the helpless little one without curing its ailments. = Baby's Own Tablets is the only medicine for infants and young children that gives the mother a positive guarantee that it contains no opiate or harmful drug. Milton L. rs, M.Se., (McGill University), has analyzed these' Tab- lets and says: "I hereby certify that I have made a careful analysis of Baby's Own Tablets, which I person- ally purchased in a drug store in Montreal, and the said analysis has failed "to detect the presence of any opiate or narcotic in them." This means that mothers can give their little ones these tablets with an us- surance that they will dé gbod. That they cannot possibly do harm. The tablets cure indigestion, colic, con- stipation, diarrhoea, simple fever, teething troubles and all minor ail | ments.
