Decline of the Lecch Trade.

The indicative lccch is now practi-
cally thing of the past. The falling
off in tn" demand for lccchcs by the
medical profession is quite astonishing,
as may be Judged from the fact that III
the year 1915 the two largest hospitals
i'll London called for about 30. 900 Of
them, whereas now these institutions
order only 30 or 100 lccchcs al irregular
and infroqucnt intervals.
We are Informed 10y We'll known lcech
importers that the trade in lcrchcs has
been subject 10 such fierce competition
that the price has been brought down
almost To nil. The quotation for Il sin
gle hundred lccchcs at the present mo
mcnt Is fixed at Il rate which is little
moro than half what the great hospitals
paid for their enormous lccch supplies
iii 1915.
At that time the importation of
lccchcs WAS carried ON by means of sail
ing boats plying to and from Smyrna;
but, owing to the difficulties of transfer
and the irregular arrival of the boats
many attempts were made to conserve
and breed lccchcs i'll England. One ell
tcrprisinG man established three ponds
ION his own at the top of Brixton hill
and used To dispose of many thousands
of lecchcs weekly. His successors. how.

of the business done half Il century ago
Assurcdly the lccch has seen his best
days. With the old regime, when cup
ping and bleeding We're the sheet an
chors of surgery, the lccch all but disap-
pcarcd. So constant wa, his employ
mcnt i'll medieval times that his name
furnished Il synonym for the medical
profession, and the doctor came to be
known impolitcly as the lccch, = per-
hapy' n subtle allusion 10 the rapacity for
fees which characterized The profession
iii those times
At present the Hungarian spcckled
lccch is most in request II is unsafe 10
