Owing to the nature of «their dis. | of | ability, they seed special kinds treatment, and to facilitate their re- covery it is necessary that such cases be segregated and treated separately from mere surgical and medical cases. Fortunately for them, the medical staff of our army is fully alive to their needs, and have provided special hos. pitals for them, where every device and treatment known to the medical world is provided with a view to bringing about cures. It is to give 'Whig readers a pen picture of one o the finest of these institutions: that this article is being Written, The centre for such treatment in Ontario is at Cobourg, and the insti tution goes under the name of the © Ontario Military Hospital, Let us take first of all its situation. It is on the shores of Lake Ontario, " soine ninety miles from Kingston, and seventy miles from Toronto, so that it occupies a central position in the province. Three railway systems, the Gi. T. R., C. P.'R., and C. N. R, have stations in the down. Cobourg itself is a quiet little place of about 5.000 inhabitants, and has none of the . disturbing elements found in large cities or mm industrial centres. Within easy reach of the 'hospital in all di- rections are" pleasure parks, pleasant open country, and ideal toads for driving The 'town is laid out a fn wy Prescription Service At Best's" stores fs second to none. That it is appreciated is amply proven by the mamber of doctors wha send thelr prescrip- tions hero and by the hundreds of satisfied customers. Both at the main store and at the Branch a qualified drug- gist In always on the job, wait- ing to compound medicine | which may mean life or death, This service means long, weary hours and careful, try- ing watchfulness, and it is really up to you to take advan- tage of it and take all your docs tors' orders to "Best's."

The fact that it was formerly an [asylum has led the ignorant section | of the public to have a much mistaken | impression of its present status In | Kingston the popular idea is that it { still is an asylum, and much needless {anxiety has been felt by relatives of | patients there owing to this idea. The | patients themselves also feel the in- | Justice of this~mpression, for many (of them, while enjoying a few days' {icave in the Limestone City, aré much {annoyed to hear the hospital spoken of as an asylum and the patients there {as lunatics. This is not correct | There are a few unfortunate men | whose menfal equipment has col- lapsed under the strain of french life, but only a few, The big majority of the patients are quite as sane as those who malign them, but are suffering from 4 disorganization of the nervous system. The writer, having been a patient there for the past four months, has on many occasions felt the sting of these innuendoes, and is hopeful that in future the outside public will have a clearer conception of the func- tions of the Cobourg institution. The main building, the oldest part of the hospital, is a magnificent edi- fice of three 'stories The ground floor is taken up.entirely by the ad- ministration offices The remaining [two floors are reserved entirely for men who are in various stages . of mental disability. A few are dan. gerous but the majority are quiet and harmless Most of them make good progress under the treatment given { them, and in time come into the cate. {gory of nervous cases. They are, for the most part, given private rooms, {so that they may have every possible {care and every possible opportunity to regain their impaired faculties. The other sections of the hospital are modern, up-to-date buildings, hav. {ing been erected within the last two {years. They are divided into eight | wards, each with beds for forty-two patients, One block of four wards is given over to sick, nervous cases, Some of these are men who have lost the power to use their limbs; one or two have lost their voices, All of them are men who have suffered from a serious nervous breakdown while an active service and they are deserv- ing of just as much sympathy as the man who has lost an arm or a leg, or_has been otherwise scarred or marred on the battlefield The re- maining block is occupied by men who are now convalescent. after hav- ing heen restored to health and strength by the splendid treatment These treatment rooms, which oce- with every appliance and "apparatus for the treatment of nerves known to medical science.

Many wonder- ful cdres have been effectgd in the in- Sstitugion.

In conclusion, it might beisaid that the Ountario, Military Hospital, Cok bourg, is an institution which is jin the forefront in the work of fitting our war-stricken soldiers for usefal citizenship of our Paminion: It ranks as the foremost military hospital of its kind in Canada, and fulfils a work which is vital fo the welfare of our returning veterans and to- the whole of Canada. show = Capturing ¥ At Brighton, Eng., Bernard Oppen- haimgr is spending £3000.000 on a scheme for emploging: disabled sol- diers and sailors in the diamond cut ting industry.

This Is One of the Rumors Said 10 Bs Current in a London, July 9.--No light has yet been shed on the mysterious rumors concerning Emperor Charles and Empress Zita of Austria, which Dr. von Seydler, the Premier, recently found necessary to deny when his attention was called to them by a group of Austrian Députies. The Premier dengunced "these base and and absolutely senselgss tales," and declared that anyone taught spread- ing tha rumors would be punished severely. One report circulating among certain continental papers is that the royal pair is charged with re- vealing the plans of the recent bat- tle along the Plave to the Italians.
