WAAL PORTLAND DIRPRN.ART.—The ordinary half.
yearly meeting oi the committee was held at the
Portland Arms Hotel on Wednesday, there being a
fair attendance, under the presidency of the Rector,
the Rev. J. A. Beaslr. The general business was
transacted, and, from the reports of the medical
officers, it appeared the benefi's of the institution are
a. much in request as usual, the number of cases
under treatment being about the ge, proving the
great utility of the charity to the suffering poor. In
the Topdtill district thrre were 61 new cases with
eight culled on from the last report, of these one had
died, four Wen still under treatment, and the
remainder were cured or relieved. Under-hill there
were 55 cases, four had died, six remained tio,ler
treatment, 33 were cured, ant 12 relieved. The hon.
eee, (Mr. T. Reynolds) had the pleasure to announce.
in addition to the usual subscriptions, a don ition of
LI from Colonel Dighy, M.P. The meeting concluded
with a cordial vote of thanks to the doctors and chair-

Chesil, on "The House I live in, aud bow to keep it
in repair."—Mr. K. C. Beals was chairtuan. sn i the
" house " leztured on ass the human bolt. Mr.
Atkin showed that though there is continual what in

the bo iy, yet that in a healthy body of full age no full
is the compensation that the incomings equal the out-
goings, and tim body is maintained at about the same
weight at the end of the year as it was at the negin-
ning, there having been continual waste but as COO-
tinual repair. Food Is required to supply this waste,
and also to keep up the heat of the body, and heep.tke
a food as heat-givind, mincleauinkin m:, nerve-foring,
and bone-bniluing. Bre .t 1 male from entire wheat

similar elements. But the totly is mainly comp eed

table spoonful of rim place I on the tongue would
destroy taste, so a little doge of spirit effects the coats
of the stomach, end in the cam of a drunkard, the..,
coats are permanently injured. Diagrams se-e
shown exhibiting the salm n c doured healthy
stomach, the ref stomach of the moderate drinker, and
the blotched and purple 4outach of ths drunkard, the
latter being also ehrirelled up. Alcohol also affects
the brain injuriously. and this damages all our senses,
for, though we talk of fire sensea, it is I y the brain
that we me, hear, feel, taste, and smell. Tne moral is
obvious—lot strong drink alone, do not put it in your
mouth.—The lecture was much appreciated, and a
voice asked when Mr. Atkin is coming ag .in to Port.
d. As this could not be promised for a long time,
the next auestion was—" When is he coming to Wey-
mouth?" Votes of thanks were cordially given.
