SMALLPOX and Measles.

The Commercial, Of yesterday. contains "a
Card,' slgned by the Attending Physicians
Tins card alleges that smallpox and measles "may
in their earlier stages be readily mistaken for
each other" 1t further says that .durng the
past week no less than three Of measles have
been admitted to the hospital. two OF them with
a physIcian's certificate that they were affected
with small. pox. One OF them is a woman with
baby at the breast, which will, of course, be very
liable to take the smallpox. IN which case it will
almost inevitably die. A little care would have
prevented this cruel wrong"
1t Is possible the profession of medicine is very
much abused, and that there those practicing
as 'phy scans who have neither the education,
gifts qualities that are requisite to render sue
cessiuI service. We make no charge OF this kind
but certainly are warranted in drawing such in
ference from the card of the Attending Physi-
cans
Such "a card should receive the attention Of
the Medical Profession as a body.

terrible lack of knowledge amcng practitioners

measles are sent to the smallpox hospital
".ith physicians certificate that they were
affected with smallpox" it is high time that
something was done or said to awaken the people
to sense of the peril they are running from
the existence Of ignorance, which amounts1 to
cnminalty on the part OF the accused in the card
But still another question arises. Are the gen
