Perhaps it is better so, for there are cases where eulogy would be a jarring note--where the pure unselfishness of good deeds might be sullied by the seeming "reward. Perhaps least of all do we think of contemporary praise of the good physician, that greatest bless- ing that a community can have, says The Toronto Globe. lan MacLaren has given up a picture of the good physician in that Dr. Maclure, whose funeral on the wild winter's day was the mem- ory of the glen, and happy are those who have had a Dr. Maclure come like a household benediction into their own Jives.

A man of strong athletic build, could have been seen at any time during the past two decades threading its streets on bicycle or street car, making his way to humble homes, where his cheery, brother-like greet- ings were more medicinal than all the drugs of the pharmacopeia. The poor- er and the more hopeless the home the more need, in this physician's estima- tion, of the rarest skill and watchful attention, so that one of the afflictions of poverty might at least be stayed or removed. And if there were two calls on his attention the cottage got ' his first ministrations. The patient in the well-tosdo home would have no Aiffi- culty in getting another physician, vhile the same could not be said of the Tittle cabin where there was posi- tively no hope of fees or other reward than the féryent "God bless you" ¢f the sorrowing and stricken. That class of cases our Toronto Maclure conceiv- ed to be his special field. But, whe- ther impoverished or otherwise, all were treated alike so far as fees were concerned. No bills went out to any- body. The doctor was too busy cur- ing people to have time to be keeping tab on the number of places where he scattered sunshine and healing. It anyone felt that they owed the doctor anything and had a little loose change that they had no other use for they could send it on--they knew his ad- dress. Thus he went about doing good, as if his profession were a consecrated one and available for all, like that of the priest. And with it all there was none of the affectation of goodness-- no cant, no snivelling, but bluffness, heartiness, and jollity, with an occa- sional expletive that denoted kinship with ordinary sinners rather than with cloistered saints, In the milist of these activities, which made twenty-four hours all too short for a day's calls, fate spoke.

The fall sitting of the Civil Assize Court, witly Justice Falconbridge pre- siding, was opened in Toronto the oth- er day. The firt' case disposed of was the suit of George E. Davis v. the Trusts & Guarantee Co. administra- tors for the estate of the late George W. Todd of that city, The defendants offered no evidence, but moved for a non-suit, which was not granted. Jus- tice Falconbridge discharged the jury and rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $5,000, with interest from ugust 4, 1903. A ro interesting story is revealed by the action. In 1867 Mr. Davis, then a boy, picked up a helpless pedcCler named Todd on a road In Litchfield Town- ship, New: York State, and looked af- ter him. untit 'he was well again. On leaving, thé peddier handed Mr. Davis sufficient money to pay the doctor's bill and directed him to draw up a note for $5000 in his own favor, the same to be made payable on Todd's death. The hote was signed by Todd in the early sixties and was presented as an exhibit in court. The suit was instituted on 'the basis of a hnicality of law in copnection with the note. The old ped@ler died some time ago, leav- ing an estate valued at nearly $50,000. He, iggy direct heirs and did not draw a will. Bome nieces and cousins survive him. GONSUMPTIVE PROBLEM TERRIBLE CASE OF SUFFERING IN THIS CANADA OF OURS. Hope Withdrawn From Lephard, But He Travels About From One Town to Ancther--Friends Fail Mim and « Hospital Doors Are Closed In His Face Because He Has Been Pro- nounced incurable. Widespread sympathy has been ex- cited by the narration of the misfor- tunes that have dogged one Lephard, an incurable consumptive. The poor fel- low has no home, and therefore no municipality is willing to burden it- self with his care. From Gait he was sent to the Gravenhurst Sanitarium, but, being pronounced ine he was refused admission. He then 'went to Hamilton, but was soon sen¥ back again, only to find that the Gait hotels would not give him accommodation. His friends falled him, and the hos- pital doors were closed in his face. At present he is in a tent. In all this country there seems to be no place where Lephard can lie down and rest a little while before starting on his long journey. If he were to commit a crime in order to get accommodation in a. jail, no doubt the prisoners and guards would protest. The word "con- sumptive" is no less dreadful in its ef- fect upon most people than the ter- rible word "leper." The Hope Cure. There are, probably, cases of con- sumption that might be called fncur- able, but most medical men would very much doubt this diagnosis of a patient who is able 10 travel about from one town to another. If Lephard were ab- solutely incurable, any undertaker might let him spend his remaining minutes in his shop. It is a pessimis- tic physician or one behind the times who returns a verdict of incurable in any case of tuberculosis nowadays. So many miraculous cures have been ef- fected that hope lingers as long as the heart beats. It is a feature of the dis- ease that the victims usually hope un- tl the jast; but pathetic though this may be, it is, nevertheless, vitally im- portant, and is one of the most power- ful aids in effecting a cure. The pa- tient who believes he will recover is far more likely to do so than the unfor- tunate who has no such hope. The lat- ter is doomed, because he has surren- dered to the enemy. This is the rea- son why it is very unusual for a doc- tor to pronounce a patient hopelessly infected. The decision was obviously unwise in the case of Harry Lephard, who has had bronchial tuberculosis for only a few months. The Home of the Last Hope. The Gravenhurst institution may have been justified in its refusal to care for Lephard. It naturally desires to have as low a death rate as pos- sible, and would thus decline te ad- mit a patient whose chances of recov- €ry are supposed to be worthless. The melancholy influence upon the other patients of a death In the sanitarium i perhaps from the Gravenhurst point of was also considered, no doubt, and view the action that fell so harshly on Lephard was proper. If this is so, we can only say that the National SBani- tarlum Association does not anite solve the probiem of the consuniptive in Can- ada. Worthy though its aims are, there is room for a hospital that will not turn away a man like Lephard. Consumptives might be classified, and those who have failed to respond to the treatment given them might be drafted to a home where they could have a last chance, and a place to lie down and die when the time came. A farm would be better than a hospital for the carrying out of this idea, and the consumptive slowly falling before | the assaults of phthisis would not have his last days embittered by the harsh- ness of his fellows, The Over-eating Cure. Probably the latest phase of the war against consumption is the over-eating cure, a rough and ready description that is fairly accurate. In Cleveland this treatment has been Very success fully adopted. In an interview in The Cleveland Plain-Dealer, a well-known doctor sald: "It is no freakish treat- ment, no sensational or radical deépar- ture from what the medical world has long known about consumption. It is the only real way to combat the dis- case, and it has been worked out in detail. That is all that is new about it. Oils and fats have always been good in cases of consumption. The city has used cod liver oll, olive oll, and cocoa, and will continue doing so indefinitely. But we will overfeed in addition, and we will do it in the rational, sensible manner which the originator of the method devised. We use vegetable Juices because they are very strength- ening, very nutritious, and, especially, because they are easy to digest, Vege- tables do not hurt the stomach in any way, und in the form of concentrated julces we get the maximum of virtue with a minimum of exertion to the pa- tient's digestive apparatus. The idea is to feed the patient to such a degree and in such a manner that his system Is constantly receiving the benefit of the best nutrition, and is getting 1t from fresh material. 'We could not simply gorge a mean with over-eating. He would be stalled. He would foun- der himself. Therefore, part of the treatment is a good big dose of castor oil every day." The Home Treatment. The City of Cleveland, in fits free treatment of consumptives, is follow- ing the lines advocated by the doctor Quoted above. There in a daily clinie at the City Hall, morning and evening, where patients go to be treated, and return to thelr occupations. The thes ory that all sufferers should be isolat- ed from the general public breaks down In practice, and now the gospel is "work and be cured at the same time" In England the patient does not go to the hospital; the hospital goes to him. The same principle has been adopted in Germany. When a case is reported, ® doctor is despatched to the home of | the victim. His first duty is to ex- | plain to the man the nature of the mal- ady and to assure him that he san be cured, He then makes an examina- tion of the premises, and suggests im- provements from a sanitary point of view. He devises a suitable scheme for ventilation, recommends certain food and clothing, and leaves medicine, The C.

Re- ports are sent to the local Board of Health, and If wmecessary the doctor pays many mere visits. The principle, however, is that the patient is encour- aged to fight the disease himself. The success of the movement has been most satisfactory, What Ontario Needs Tuberculosis is not the scourge the terror it was ten years ago. It can be prevented and cured, and fact should argue for action on the part of the Government. The City of Toronto, as best it can, looks after its own sick: but for the consumptives of the province at large little or no pro- vision is made. It is to be hoped that the publicity given to the case of Lep- hard will lead to a removal of this re- proach, along the lines suggested. ---------------------- HID IN ONTARIO WOODS. Broker of Newark, N. J, Returns to Face Mis Creditors, Edward F. Duffy, a broker of New- ark, N. J, who has just returned to his home after having disappeared late in July, leaving obligations said to amount to about $100,000, and having now concluded, as he says, to "face the music," has invited his creditors to meet him. The ¢onference will be to devise ways and means to straighten out his affairs.' "Ad lost every cent I had in cotton" he sald. "I speculated in it with my own money and. for some of my cus tomers, and at the beginning made con- siderable money. Then and they plunged as heavily as we could, in the hope of making a fortune. I was caught and so were they when the bot- tom fell out of the cotton boom. Then I realized that I had been entirely swept off my feet, and besides losing my own savings, which were more than $20,000, was piled up with debts that I could not meet. I lost my head and foolishly went away, I realise now that if 1 had conferred with my friends and customers I would have been help- ed into a position 0 go on without any exposure of my affairs. "From New York I took a train for Toronto, and thence to Muskoka Lake, | & great fishing and hunting resort There I made friends with Indian guides, who posted me on the haunts of game, and I became a guide for wealthy men, who visited the lake and the neighboring forests. While the sea- son was at its heigi® I cleared as much as $40 a week. "At the lake I met United States Judge McComas of Washington, He seemed to take a fancy to me, and, though 1 did not tell him the true story why I was thus engaged, he advanced to me some money. I heard indivectly from Newark that things looked black, so I returned to Toronto. There I made use of my union telegrapher's card, and the union of that city provided me with transportation to Mexico City, where I hoped to get into the broker- age and banking business. 1 soon learned that the field there was not a promising one, and, after hearing again from Newark, I decided to return and help to straighten out matters instead of trying te get on my feet elsewhere. "I had only about $30 when I went away. I have no money, but I can explain several transactions which now seem greg ly involved, and can greatly ald In settling matters, I have learn- a lesson that I will never forget. All T want is a chance and a year's time, and I'll make good every dollar I owe. There are some accounts due to me, and as soon as they are collected and my personal property is turned into cash, I will have $15,000 or more with which to begin liquidation of the claims against me." Duffy declined to discuss the sults against J. 8. Bache and Co., of New { York, whose Newark manager he was | at the time of his disappearance, for | the recovery of about $60,000, on the ground that those matters are now in the courts. He declared that his ac counts with Bache and Co. were abso- lutely straight. In this he has been corroborated by representatives of the firm. Duffy left Mexico on Sept. 9, and went to Buffalo. He became ill there, but recovered, and on Sept. 21 sent for his wife and returned to Newark with her, Indian Youths Good Farmers, "One great difficulty we meet in our work among the Indians of the West is in keeping the boys and girls who at- tend our Indian schéols from falling back into Indian modes of Hving, when they leave school," sald Rev. Dr. R. P. Mackay, Secretary of the Foreign Mis- sion Department of the Presbyterian Church, who returned to Toronto the other day from an extended trip through the West, inspecting the In- dian and Chinese Mission work. "In British Columbia this is specially hard to prevent, for there is little land for them to settle on, and scarcely any course open but to go back to the fish- ing village where the surrounding in- fluences tend to undo all gur work" he continued. "In the prairie country there is more hope, because of the pos- sibility of getting the young Indians to settle on land away from the village community, and to apply themselves to careful and Intelligent farming. "Lately the plan has been adopted of cutting up the reserves Into 8$0-acre farms, and assigning them to those who wish to become Independent farmers, and some of the Indlans are very suc- cessful, "I saw one reserve where they had good farms and good crops. One young Indlan who had been four years in his place will have 2,000 bushels of wheat and the ploughing 4nd the care of the teams was as good as On the average Western farm." This. was an exeeptional case, but only because there was an exceptional Indian Government-Agent at that place.
