TIM PRINCE or WALES AND TIE COMMON CoUS-
cL-TBK COMING SENSATION SEAsoS.-The Cor
poration have resolved to invite his Royal
Hiehness the Prince Of Wales to visit this
city during bis sojourn on the American con-
tinent, and II Is eminently proper that they
should have done so. II IL probable that he
will receive Citing invitation from the Presi-
dent of the United States 10 be his guest at
the national capital, where the present aud
future rulers Of the two divided branches OF
the family can commune together upon the
destinies Of each, and the youth Of the one
may reap some advantage from the age and
experience of the other. But by all means the
Prince should be received with all courtesy
and honor in this commercial metropolis Of
the Western World. where he can obtain bet
ter knowledge Of the country than In any other
part Of the republic; and perhaps he may fnd
much 10 admire, and something 10 profit by, In
our ,us,,tutious. Notwithstanding the structures
Of Earl Grey.
II il not alone the personal visit Of the

The three great excitements of the season
the visit of the Prince Of Wales, the Japanese
Embassy, and the arrival of the Great Eastern

lis from ill quarters during the summer; even
the fashionable watering places viii lose their
charms, and their denizens will pour in upon
us In multitudes. If there was any fear Of Q

surely, If such thing were possible, we might

MORTALITY IN THE MszEoPOLIs-Tnx EVIL or
MEDICAL MAIPRAcrcE.-The report Of the City
Inspector TO the Board of Health, which we
published yesterday, reveals an alarming state
of affairs in the condition of the public health,
showing not only IN increase of 1919 deaths
within the past tour months over those of
last year, but frightful increase of NOR.
tality from scarlet fever. Group, bronchitis
and pneumonia-the increase of deaths from
these diseases being one-fourth of the
total. While there can be no doubt that
the prevalence of these diseases is owing In q
great measure to want of proper sewerage
cleanliness and ventilation, II Is evident that
the fatality which attends them Is mainly
due, as the City Inspector suggests, t
bad medical treatment. Of the two thou
sand deaths from these four diseases
since the LIST of January, only twenty
occurred in cases under treatment by educated
and prominent physicians. This fact warns US
of the necessity existing for some means of
protection against unskilled and half educated
ply sicians. The truth Is that the law upon this
subject is too lax and indefinite. Men are per-
mitted to practise medicine upon the virtue Of
a diploma or certificate, which, In many cases
is no guarantee at all of either skill or know
ledge of the medical art, and the public are
thus constantly exposed to malpractice at the
hands of ignorant men, who follow the profes
sion merely as q means of making money
without the ambition or the qualifications
which pertain to the educated practitioner.
Nor is this evil confined to physicians, So
called; 1t extends also to druggists, many of
whom, in this city and elsewhere, are wholly
unfit to compound medicines or make up pre-
scriptions, and the consequence Is that we
hear of frequent cases of gross carelessness
and ignorance, often resulting fatally, from the
inefficiency of vendors of drugs. 1t is griev-
Gus injustice to educated physicians and drug
gists, who have devoted half a lifetime and the
most assiduous labor to acquiring knowledge
of their professions, to place them on equal
footing with the quack and the nostrum vender
irrespective of the danger to the community
which results from toleraiing such class OF
men at all.
We want some stringent regulations, such as
exist in Europe, to govern the medical profes-
sion, whereby proper qualifications could be
established, and the public be protected from
the malpractice Of uneducated persons, with nc
higher guarantee of capacity to prescribe and
com pound medicines than the prefix OF
doctor" to their names.
