TIE SHORTAGE QUESTION.

From one end of the State to the other
there was no voice raised in opposition to
our suggestion that the present Legislature
enact some simple and unambiguous law
for the projection of the people from the
robbery by shortage" in the matter of
weights and measures. There is yet time
to pass proper law. A bill is On the file
now relative to inspectors of weights that
may be taken up and SO amended as to
answer the purpose. We need in each city
and large town some official authorized
to measure wood, coal, etc., and to weigh
hay, grain, and like articles, and some one
to test scales at any time. Such an officer
should receive a very small fee per ton or
cord from the seller, and the aggregate will
give him living salary. It need not be
compulsory on sellers to go to him, but
buyers should have the privilege of requir-
ing his mark of approval upon every cord
of wood or bale of hay, and in his own
right he should be empowered to test scales
at least twice year for small fee. Nearly
all the elder States have some such official.
A gentleman, in whose statistical capacity
we have implicit confidence, has just con-
cluded and furnished US with an estimate
of the annual loss to the people of Sacra-
mento alone from the shortage on wood re.
tailed, and he finds it to be no less than
S54, 234. This is based on estimates OF
stove wood only, and does not in.
ciEde any wood sold for use un.
der boilers and in manufactures.
We have no reason TO think that the fall
-pFF5 60 provide new law relative TO
I" shortage" in weight and measure is at
tribusable to other cause than pure forget
fulness and simple neglect, because of the
simplicity of the subject and the universal
desire for the law. Had the friends Of foil
weight and ample measure been sufficiently
adroit to have organized an opposition to
the demand for law worth the writing.
the master would have had attention. We
are well aware that the fees for the new
officer Will be taxed to the consumer, but
the consumer is willing to pay it TO secure
what be bargains for. Il A buys wood and
hay the price is not 60 much a question
when once it is agreed upon, as the prob.
lem whether he viii receive what he pays
the price for. If he bargains for eight
pounds of sugar he does not wish to be

Mateo Grzstte forcibly presents this eues-
tion and declares that its neglect is to the
detriment of the poorer citizens. Shortage
in butter it describes as special evil, but
it can be established in no case except by
officially approved scales. This may seem
small matter TO urge upon the Legisla-
ture, and it is humiliating that the neces.
sity exists for such appeals. If a proper
bill is passed, as it ought to be in twenty
minutes, it will save, Gays our statistical

With some the hearing at first suffers only by

| the most valuable OF our senses.
Many pers,ns neglett the diseased state Of their
esrs IN the hope that Che difficulty may get well of
Itself or would be outgrown. No hope has ever
proved more fallacious. 1t is the experience of all
aurists of repute that diseases OF the ear not
benefited by nature time, but that, on the con-
| trary they become more and more developed
and confirmed, and more destructive to hearing.
We cannot, therefore, too strongly condemn the
practice of those physicians who, through ignorance
the healing process OF nature, by advising patients
to let disease OF the ear alone. In our experience
/ we have had repeated demonstrations of the fact
that such advice is nothing short of malpractice,
and deserving of the severest censure for dis
eases of the ear are not only destructive to
hearing, they also form center for the develop
ment of a variety OF morbid states of other i'm.
portant organs, more especially the brain and nerv-
Gus system. A late number of the Philadelphia
1
medical journals of the country echoes the opinion
| of the best informed aural surgeons of the day by
stating that " it is growingy recognized fact that
such serious diseases as pyamia, abscess in the
brain, some obscure forms of so-called rheumatic
| fever, and many others-for the most part rapidly
fatal disorders-derive their starting point in the
ear"
In their earlier stages, diseases of the car yield
readily to skillful medical attendance and even in
cases of long standing, ard where the hearing is
seriously impaired, entire cure can often be
effected by appropriate means Desirable results,
however, can only be expected from thu attendance
of physician who has made himself familiar with
the subject by special study, and who has acquired
sufficient practical experience to gain mastery over
aural diseases. Medical science cannot be held re
sponsibe for the frequent failures possible injury
resulting from treatment when admin stored by in
| competent or inexperienced hands,
In conclusion let me say that every case Of deaf
ness, no matter how gnfavorabe 1t may appear,
should at least be submitted to thorough exam
inatiop, and sometimes to treatment for reason
able length Of time before hope is abandoned.
Many cases in which hearing cannot be fully
restored, can be materially benefited, and in some
even the arrest of the increasing loss Of hearing
proves an inestimable blessing. No Of deafness
should be abandoned as utterly hopeless unless SO
pronounced by aurist OF acknowledged skill and
ability.
