"A Canadian !umberman tells rather du-
bious story of cannibalism among the Indians
ofthe Upper Ottawa, which is given for what
1t Is worth. He says that owing to the enor-
NOUS quantities Of snow and the terrible
severe weather, the Indians who inhabit the
more remote localities are literally forced at
certain seasons to satisfy the cravings Of appe-
tite by devouring one. another. AS an IN
stance. he relates the proceedings of one
Indian family in extreme circumstances: The
souaw-so the story goes-slew one OF ner
children during the protracted absence OF her
husband, and the family had partially deVonr'
ed, the child when the old Indian returned.
Hethen Joined with the rest In the horrible
repast when the food was gone another
was sacrificed and eaten In like manner. The
impractlcable weather continuing, the Indian
tomahaWked the squaw next, and he and his
only remaining son, after this additional sup
ply gave out, started to make another attempt
to reach a settlement This failing, the son
killed his father, and proceeded to satisfy his
appetite with his flesh. Arriving at last at
settlers shanty, he told his awful tale.
-If.any additional proof of the efficacy OF
vaccination as preventive Of smallpox was
needed, it is furnished In the report Of DR..
Morris, the sanitary Inspector of New York,
from which it appears that there we're one
hundred and fifteen cases of smallpox in that
city in the week ending March 2sd against
eeventy.four in the preceding week, and that
in not one of these cases had the patient been
recently vaccinated. Df. Morris explodes
some of the tallacies prevalent regarding the
danger to patients removed to the hospital
and intimates that, 1t is not necessary to re-
move every.c He also points out that the
number of those removed to the hospital who
recover is greater than that of those who die,
and Says this result could not be otherwise,
whenit is well known that this class OF dis
ease need an abundance of ventilation and
fresh air In their treatment. Patients shut up
In close, unventilated rooms, deprived Of the
most vital elements necessary to recovery,
cannot but ssccumb 10 the rirulence OF the
poison thus generated and concentrated. Con
centration renders it more active and fatal
while dilutIon by free ventilation and diffus.
lon with air deprives it OF its malignity and
deadly effects In great measure. The doctor
closes with thrust at those members of the
medical profession who carelessly conceal
smallpox patients and boast OF it TO others US
an achievement to be proud OF.
