The Detroit F5ee Press says: "Several
persons were recently seriously and two
fatally poisoned at Pittsburg as the re-
suit of eating smoked fish, an examina-
tion of which showed that it was unfit
for human food before it was cured.
There is very little difference in princi-
pie between putting arsenic in an ene-
my's coffee and sending poisonous stut,
in the form of food, broadcast through
the markets of the country. The diff
ference is in degree, for man who COM
mits a definite crime on account of a
definite enemy is rather more respectable
than the one who hazards the life of in
nocent persons whom he has never seen
for the sake of few mean dollars. Be.
fore the country is many years older
there will be more stringent legislation
governing the production and sale of
food. and these will be enforced, for the
abuse strikes nome to every man."

ment of Berlin, will be, in this case,
substantially as follows: "In the interest
Of unmarried women, the Government is
under obligations to take measures for
the suppression of bachelorhood, espec.
ially in view of the fact that German
women are not admitted to places in the
departments which were formerly open
to them. The principle of the necessary
marriage law must be that every official

to the rule might be made in the case OF

otherwise remain spinsters would be
cared for and their aims in life would be
reached, while to many who found no
chance to marry, comfortable old age
would be assured" The agitation in

MANSON E. LARRABEE
246 MIDDLE ST,
PORTLAND, ME.

Surgical operations until recently un-
thought of even in the profession, are
reported. A young man was brought to
a Chicago hospital suffering from stab
wound which had penetrated the peri
cardium. One of the attending sur
peons, in his examination, actually
placed his finger against the living
heart. The wound was dressed and the
patient recovered at the end of two
weeks. In Boston an elcven-year old
boy suffered with a pain in his side and
difficulty in breathing, which medicine
failed to relieve. An operation was re-
sorted to in which the pericardum was
inciscd, and half pint of thick pale
colored fluid removed. After the oper-
alton the patient fell into deep sleep,
lasting five days, after which he awoke
smiling to see his mother at his side.
He is reported now out of danger. Such
triumphs in surgical skill as these, says
Once Week, are doubtless owing not
cnly to improved methods and superior
knowledge of anatomy, but also to more
earnest devotion to their profes" n,
greater courage, steadier nerve, and ex'
altcd personal character, among surgeons.
English surgical skill, hitherto cons!d
cred superior to American, must look to
its laurels. The list of injuries classed
as necessarily fatal must be revised.
"While there is life there is hope" will
continue to widen if surgery continues
to invade the domain of the incurable.
