Nv attention has been called TO these outrages for
several weeks, but l have refrsined from speak
ing of them through fear Of ipjuring faithful men

We now have a new Medical Director in this de-
partment, and it is to be hoped that his attention
will be Immediately called to these abuses by ine
proper authorities, and adequate remedies instantly
applied. No one can walk through the wards Of

This morning we hear that six pckes were cap.
