the appearance on our curbstones and walls of the
mysterious word "Kalye" in letters varying in size
from three four inches TO several feet After this

OPPOSITION TO THE HOSPITAL FOR
CHRONIC CASES

To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD
AS there two sides to every question and good
project need be afraid Of discussion you will
print my letter in reference TO the proposed hos
pitai for the treatment OF chronic cases Last sum-
mer Dr. Hartt asked the writer for his signature a
petition for the organization Of the proposed hospital
which was refused for tho following reasons:-The
term sschronic cases. is one OF very vague and in
definite meaning. 1t includes almost every disease TO
which humanity Is liable from OF old ulcers and
skin diseases which are OF years standing, OF
chronic bronchitis and rheumatism which never get
well OF paralysis, injuries OF joints sprans,
&c, which are OF lew months duration. A large
majority OF acute diseases apt 10 become chronic
Il requires nice discrimination TO tell when disease
ceases be acute and becomes chronic Now, in this
city there is no lack Of accommodation for chronic
cases There the Hospital for the Treatment Of the
Ear In6rmary, which treats large number OF chronic
cases ST Vincents Hospital under the charge Of the
sisters, has large number OF cases OF consumption,
all chronic cases; Blackwels Island there Is tho
Hospital Tor Incurabes, such cases OF cancer, &C.
ali chronic cases the Hospital for Epeptcs and Para
OF the city you will lnd large number OF the patients
cases OF chronic disease. Besides, the dspensaries
treat large number Of chronic who live At home
II Is undenable fact that II patient has home ne
has better chance Of recovery than In the wards ef
large hospital whore be Is surrounded by diseases and
| posons OF all kinds, and where the very walls them
selves saturated with the posons OF pyamia and cry
spolas, become the instruments OF death. Now, hr
Editor think II is better 10 strengthen the established
hospitals, and TO make known the accommodations and
efficiency than TO engage in any new and visionary nos
pital for the treatment Of indefinite cases l re-
