How appalling the thought that the
king of a great empire should demand, as
Lycurgus did, the killing of all children
born deformed. While this wicked sprac-
tice is not continued. yet in the United
States more than two hundred thousand
poor, helpless, crippled and deformed per
sons have been allowed to become So and
nine tenths of them never need have been

them wish they had died while young or
never been born. Why the exclusion, as
stated in Leviticus xxi, 1920, we know
not; but the great sympathy for and care
Of the paralyzed, the deformed, the blind.
| ETC., by our Saviour, teaches US an imper-
alive duty. We can not DO for all as King
David did for Jonathan's son, yet, with
the triumphs of art and science, the Ma
tional Surgical Institute is curing thous

nearly million dollars have been expend.
ed in organizing aud equipping the four
great divisions of this Institution and de-
velpiug the new modes Of treatment. ma
chinery and appliances. Surgeons anC
commissioners from other nations at the
centennial conferred the highest praise
upon it. The National Surgical Institute
exhibited there five times as many hu
man appliances for the cure of deformi
ties and surgical cases as all the world be
sides, and of course received the highes

all the old painful, barbarous, and falla

forty thousand persons have been cured b.
