HEALTH OF MR. GLADSTONE.—We are happy to
learn that the cause of Mr. Gladstone's absence from the
House of Commons on Tuesday evening was only a slight
cold. Although it was considered desirable that he
should keep the house, he was not confined to his room.
PLYMOUTH AND THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES ACT
--Mr. Bulteel, of Devonport, president of the Plymouth
Town Mission, has published some remarkable evidence
as to the working of the Contagious Diseases Act in that
important district. During thirty years veluntary effort
had only succeeded in inducing an annual average of 16
girls to enter the reformatory which has long existed
there. By the aid of the money grants under this Act,
and by the influence of the exertions of the chaplains to
Royal Albert Hospital, who are now enabled advantageously
to exert themselves in rescuing women from a life of sin
and shame, 211 women have entered homes or penitentiaries
690 have been sent home to their friends, and 162 have
been married, making a total of 1,063 since 1964. The
number of public women has been diminished from 2,000t0
about 600; and the number of houses of ill-fame from 410
in 1864 to' 210 at present. He testifies also to the
useful exertions of the officers under this Act in warning
and sending home young girls on the point of recruiting
this army of vice, whom they have found in houses of ill-
repute. Mr. Bulteel, who is a very active supporter of
missionary efforts, and has closely watched the
working of these Acts, is shocked at the "shame-
ful misrepresentations " of those who conduct the
opposition to them, in which he regrets to find " many
good but mistaken Christians associated with practical
infidels and advocates of the worst vices of French
society." Mr. Bulteel is by no means a one-sided advo-
cate, for he points out defects in the Acts with a great
deal of acumen and impartiality,—Pall Mall Gazette.

ADVERTISEMENT I—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Life with enjoyment. To live is one thing—to enjoy life
is a far superior state. What avails illimitable wealth if
sickness rob us of all the pleasures it can bestow ? Health
with poverty is preferable to riches with infirmity. Few
men would be so foolish as to barter health for wealth.
The poorest can secure the former by a trifling investment
in these noble medicaments. Be the mischief external or
internal, slight or malignant, the patient may rest assured
that the proper use of Holloway's Ointment and Pills will
speedily mitigate and ultimately expel his malady. The
comfort—nay more—the veil- continuance of life depend
on sound and healthy blood, which these remedies
secure.
