To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD,

10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD,
Dear Sir: | think sometimes when q
man dwells too much on a subject he
runs into a. hobby. Still, in these
times, specialists are gaining favor.
People feel that when man puts the
whole strength of his mind upon any
subject or business he is more apt to
become thoroughly conversant and
master of it. / have written a few
letters which the HERALD has kindly
printed in its columns, and | have
another. one, in which | wish to dwell
more on the side of utilitarianism to
endeavor to show how wasteful it is
that Christians should be divided up
into so many different denominations.
And l think many people are becom-
ing uneasy Jdnder the burden of sup
porting and maintaining SO many
church governments. 1t being So we
may often influence Eaen more through
their purses than their brains, let us
therefore take for example the relg-
ious state of the little town of Brigh-
ton. According to the census of 1880
it contained 1901 inhabitants. The diff
ferent religious bodies in it are RomanI
Catholics, Methodists, Congregational
lists, Episcopalians, Universalists and
Baptists. Six different kinds of be-,
liefs. As i have no statistics to obtain
the actual numbers let us suppose the
persuasions to be divided up as fol-

The Old Folks concert, given here
on Thursday and Friday evenings of

Carlton, was great success, and was
attended by good audiences each even

very fine. d. G.. Shores and Mrs. Hen

Rachel, were the right ones in the
right place, and literally brought
down the house. j. L. Weeks and
Miss Nellie Guertin in a song entitled

been engaged for the occasion, and

of ball was played last Saturday be-

the game resulting in a draw, after II
innings had been played, by score of

that the large score was owing to the
rule made before playing, permitting
any number of bases to be run on
passed balls; this rule, and the fact
that the catchers Of both mines were

One noticeable feature of the Repub-

how it will be when election day
comes! We certainly hope, for the

years ago will not be repeated. Over

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black La short time.
The backs Of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robheg in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in asilyer case is the joints or hinges, which
.eAculd be made of gold. Those Of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
keystone SilyerWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

Two weeks ago we printed letter
on the subject Of leprosy written at the
request of Rev s. c. Damon
by Doctor Baelz, of Japan. We
printed the letter-from the con
clusions Of which we differ, in tofo
simply in the interests of truth. a
correspondent OF the Gazette, writes in
its issue Of last Wednesday as follows ;
Dr. Erwin Baelt, Professor Of Clinical Medi.
cines at the University Of Toxic Japan, in a
letter dated in September, 1884, and handed
by Dr. Damon to the editor NJ the Saturday
Press where said letter is published Sept ~,
1884, states, that after eight years study Of
leprosy at a government hospital in Japan he
has come to the conclusion, THAT lep
rosy in Japan is the same as in other countries.
That leproy in Japan is not in the slight.
est degree contagious or infectious; and con.
sequently The idea Of lsoloting Iepers doe, not
occur to anybody in Japan.
Here we have point blank statement
from a medical gentlemen, that would seem
calculated TO eradicate from our minds all
doubts in the matter But it so happens,
tina, physicians will disagree and at all times
they win arrive al conclusions directly op.
posed to each other II in the present in.
stance we compare Dr. Baell's statements
with those made on the I2th Of August last,
before the international Congress Of physicians
At Copenhagen, we find the following which
translate from the Danish Nationallidende

much in our days in Norway. The lecturer,
who exhibited three lepers, one Of whom
especially was extremely cmaciated withihngers
and toes contracted by athrophy Of the

hereditary, but that it spread 10y contagion.
Leprosy is durable; but often it is accompanied
by tuberculosis and other diseases, that bring

falls in congenial soil will grow there, is ii
not so with leprosy1 Under the circumstance
will not our medical gentlemen say There
is safety in segregation, because in that va,
only the seed will be kept where it canno
spread and further endanger whole com

We fully agree with the above con
clusion, which is in accord with The
Press well-known position and We
take pleasure in presenting the follow

Some learned doctor, who seems by
some means to have gained the cs-
TEEN and confidence Of the Reverend
Doctor Damon during his sojourn in
Japan, at the lnstigation of the latter,
attempts to enlighten the people of
this place upon the question of leprosy.
Who this man may be or how great his
requirements, this community has yet
to learn, for there is nothing in his
writing as published In your paper to
indicate that he has any more right to
speak upon such matters than any or
dinary physician in any other part of
the world who may have seen few
lepers, He is not specialist in skin
diseases, but professor of clinical
medicine at the University of Toxic,
Japan" He claims to have been at

lepers 0or leprosy is comparatively a
rare disease there), "feels justified to
say - = that leprosy is not in the
slightest degree contagious or in
