THE STRAND UNION, says the London Review,
has a large amount of decayed human refuse
always in store. For ever hearseing off some of it, more
yet comes to hand to await its cemetery turn. Under the
best cf circumstances, sores and sickness, internal disease
and external maiming, are hard to bear. They who
have nursed where ail that wealth could command
and affectionate service offer, know yet what it
is to watch by day and night for one moment's
light of ease, to dispel the clouds of weariness
and pain which have made the sufferer's life mise-
rable. But when suffering present, and painful to body
and soul, comes upon the lot of those to whom all life has
been a struggle ; when it is to be endured under shelter
grudged, food stinted, medical aid made cheapened piece-
work, medicines prescribed by contract, left to be adminis-
tered by the ignorant, and very often by tho drunken ;
when the sick pauper becomes but one drop of a large lake
of sickness pumped into the parochial reservoir to be tended,
comforted, or any way aided, by an ill-appointed live
machinery of the coarsest and least sympathetic material ;
when the dying aro for ever in company with the dead,
and the lot of all tends—for any effort made to prevent it—
to more suffering and then death, the picture is one revolt-
ing to humanity.
