very few malignant diseases. He had never seen a case
of cancer, nor were there any cases of consumption,
scrofula, stone, or gravel to he found. When a msn got
his leg broken they jest tied it up with the bark of a ire ,
and, owing to the healthy constitution of the people, it
healed very quickly. lie never hal occasion to perfern
any of the dtificult operations in surgery. He once set a
ady's squint. (Laughter.) His chief practice was in
cutting out tumours, and the patients bore the operation
well, without any of the shouting heard iii this country.
(. lough.) Is midwifery he was at the head of the
profession—(a laugh )—because no one else attempted to
assist in that way. (Laughter.) His services in this
respect were very highly valued indeed. A woman, who
had been cured of another centslaint, got a child some
time afterwerkls, and reported througeout the whole
country that he had a medicine f a getting children. (A.
laugh.) He had been sadly plagued by this rumour fur a
long time. (Laughter.)

will discard every dress or fashion in any way clashing
with modesty, or the piety of a Christian woman, such, for
instance, as low dresses, bonnets that only cover the back
of the head, flounces, crinolines, &c." The members are
to restrict their wardrobes to eight or ten dre'ees at most.
They must be attired in black while, attending the
service of Holy Mother Church, and must also make
the engagement not to give any cast-off finery to
their mtids, so as to give them a taste for dressing
