MEssRs. EDIToRs:-I attended the late meet
ing of the Maine Medical Association in Port
land as have usually done heretofore, and
have no hesitation in endorsing the remark
which 1 find in the Portland Press, that the re.
ports presented at that meeting were of a high
character. There was quite number that in
terested me very much. az 4IgIc allg-t ljIs
First and foremost must place the Report
OF Or. Davies on the subjectof Ophthalmic Sur
gerry, q paper which shows the author to be n
perfect master of the subject he was treating
as wen as endowed with happy faculty of I'M
parting his knowledge to Others. In no
branch OF medical or surgical science has there
been more rapid advance than in the pathol-
ogy and treatment of maladies Of the eve,
whether resulting from disease or accident
and DIR. ID. Is thoroughly posted in all the inn
provements of the day. The good people of
Maine should understand that more scientific
and skillful treatment of the various maladies
to which the eye is subject is nowhere to be
had, than that which they may obtain at the
| hands OF DIR. Davies of Portland. o5t lllN
An able paper was read by DIR. Jewett of
South Berwick, on the subject of Puerperal
| Commissions, which led to a most interestin o
| and animated discussion relative to the etiolo,
| gy and treatment CT this formidable disease.
DR.. Dana too, OF Portland, presented a Pc
culiarly interesting and valuable paper on the
Importance of keeping in view the restorative
po1oers Of nature, in the treatment of disease.
DIR. Buzzell OF Portland, reported recent
| case of thrilling interest in which a man was
rescued from the very jaws of death, by the
| rapid performance of tracheotomy.
Much discussion was had, useful as well as
interesting, on the subject of ex.section of
bones, an operation of comparatively recent
| origin, by which many limb has been saved
| that must otherwise have been lost 8-l.5 s
Many other papers We're read highly credit
| able TO their authors, and of great practical
value But you requested me to be brief, and
Ipass them by. .s.....5.,I...- - - -
cannot however close without adverting to
the fact that a resolution, offereb by Dr. Dav-
les, expressing the most entire confidence OF
the Association that the patients in the Insane
Hospital were receiving, and had ever received,
the kindest and most humane treatment at
the hands of the Superintendent, DIR. Harlow,
OBTAINED, after full discussion, the unanimous
assent and appreciation of the entire assem-
blage. ll0Gl 3d, Yours &C., AN. 3

j. The Water Question.
f1a E<1:fAa, af fbo Du,oo.

| sfs nv " dsCH *ucsIOM
TO the Editor of the Press:
The subject of introducing water into this
city is one of interest to ALL and in the furore OF
popular desire and popular necessity the
immediate movers can clearly be understood
as meaning to make "a good thing out of it,
for somebody. According to the plans devel-
oped, the city is to have most stinted supply
but a most extravagantly dear and costly one
and so saddled upon the city as to make i,
necessitated bye and bye, to take the whole
| thing and shoulder the load. For ten years
use of the water for fires, &C., q half-nilliox
| of dollars is demanded besides the use OF
the streets by the new company.
| A few years since, and many other protec.
| tions of the citizens against the possible ex
tortions of a private company, were offered as
a gratuity, and only the privilege of using the
streets claimed, and with proper efforts, I have
reason to believe, that mainly the same terms
could probably be obtained now, with very
much larger supply of water than is now pro.
| posed by the new plan. Nor need any charter
be required, beyond what mutual agreement
made between the city and an association Of
individuals, under the general statutes regu-
lating the subject Of aqueducts would EN-.
brace. I4 --3--4 li .''ft
Nay, better, L understand for half million Of
dollars the city can have ta0ice the proposed
12-inch pipe supply brought to the bounds Of
the city, including distributing reservoir, Of
as pure water as the world furnishes, and with
less than another halt million its distribution
could be made to answer all the wants of the
city for twenty years to come, and in conjunc-
ton with this expenditure, a manufacturing
enterprise would spring up that would add
hundreds of thousands of dollars to the annu-
al industry Of the city and millions to the tax
able property. & sulr ~ gaiflt asag- -'fa
By all means, let pure water be brought in
to the city, at the earliest practicable day, con
sistent with public interests. But let our City
Council, in its zeal to accomplish public ben
eft, take heed, and permit no private specula
ton, to be assumed as public measure, ant
subject citizens to an increase of our present
high taxes, unless full corresponding publ
benefit be derived beyond any doubt j.
