1t is estimated that there are not
less than 100000 victims of con-
sumption in New York city, and
that the deaths from that disease
number 5000 every year. As the
malady is contagious-thoug less
50 than is commonly represented
there is the wisdom of self
protection in the organization
there of a society for the colonial
ton of INDECENT consumptives in
the Adirondacks or in some other
favorable locality 1t is known
that in the early stage of the dis
ease there is hope of cure in an
outdoor life where the air drv and
light. The removal of consump-
tives from the city would diminish
the danger Of the spread of the
malady, besides holding lout the
hope of long life to the victims.
AS consumption is essentially an
indoor disease, it finds it's largest
number Of victims among the poor
who are compelled to work in
crowded quarters, especially in the
sweat shops. The New York col
onization society has good claim
to the assistance Of the public

ter published in that Issue, contains an
excellent description of the Hawaiian is
lands and he is indeed correct in stating
that Hawaii is the coming country"
When we stopped there on our way
here, there was scarcely q man in our
regiment who was not charmed with
them, but | do not think that they will
surpass the Philippines. We have been
very busy since wrote to you last.
Another soldier and myself have found
gold here, we are not highly elated over
our discovery for it is still to be seen
whether or motif exists in paying guam
ties; if We have "struck it ricli' | will
be sure to remember nay poor friends.
Money is very useful, but it is only a
means, not an end.
On the 25th. three companies OF the
18th Infy. and seventy-fve men from
our two companies GA" and &c" of the
9Th. Infy.) left here to again visit our
friends the enemy. We stopped that
| night Mt Malena. Early the next morn
ing we started out into the hills, and
while resting, | experienced my first
earthquake shock in the Philippines,
the earth trembled violently for about
half a Minute. Finally we caught sight
of the enemy on a peak about il
mile distant. They had a block house
erected and seemed to be we'll fortified.
We divided our forces the 18th. 1nfy.
going to the left of it and the 9th to the
right. We passed through q small in
FilipinOs fled at our approach, but we
could see themon the other ridges star
ing at rs. They would be four or five
hundred yards away standing in
groups. Soon after we. separated, the
18th. was fred on, and when we were
within a quarter of a mile of the hill,
we were fired upon from another ridge
600 yards distant; we quickly dropped
down. A firing line was formed and We
laid down on the ridge and returned the
fire, but we could see nothing to shoot
at except the:smoke from the enemy's
guns. The firing soon ceased and we
resumed our march to the fortified bill,
but its "brave" defenders had fled. We
destroyed the block house, and butts
near by, then continued our advance
toward Macatn, burning every hut we
came to. The 18th. also started for Ma
cato burning everything in their way.
They were fired upon several times by
the insurgents who kept at a safe dis
lance. About five o'clock in the even
ing the 18th. entered Macato slightly in
advance of us, and were met by a dele
CATION bearing a white flag and shout
ing give Americana" and the band
was playing On the plaza as We entered.
The 18th. went out yesterday and the
clouds of smoke rolling up from the
mouatSi ns tell us that the good work is
going ON. We have tried every meaDs
in our power to win the enemy over by
peaceful methods bnt to no avail, so
severer measures are being adopted.
Please write soon.

Accuracy in Prescriptions.

A broader term than many suppose
Some people imagine it relates only to
chemicals or preparations bearing the
same name as that appearing on the
prescription. This is one step only.
To complete the sense of the term each
ingredient must be pure-must be ca
pable of exerting the highest medical
effect. We believe i'm accuracy of this
kind. It has given the esteem of the
physicians and the confidence of the
public. Will take good care of your
prescription. We don't charge extra for
this carefulness. Accuracy is here.

the old adage Charity should begin at

Think OF q poor woman with a dead
babe in her arms going from one under
taker to another and begging tlrem to
bury it. Then think of it, this was in
New York, and only last Tuesday.
And also think of it. that a christianity
bishop, only the week before, exclaimed,
that it was worth the spilling Of the
blood Of million Chinese. in order to
christianize the remainder And then
think how many Jellebys we have right

as R0h Gibson who was pastor of the
church, at that time, confessed on his
death bed Flew days ago, TO having
committed it Himself.
