estimate the Beers in Natal at 1S,0C0,

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, April a.
The startling fact was recently made
public that in many districts Of Puerto
Rico, where the population reaches
thousands, there is no resident physi-
clan. For instance, Wayuya, town OF
1900, must depend on the simplest rem
edies In the case Of illness, as there Is
no physician within call. At utuado
the death rate is per cent annually.
and this town is days ride from
Ponce. through the mountains.
II appears that physicians have been
sent to these districts; but they refuse
10 remain. largely because no town is
able to support one. As n result uf
this condition Of thihgs the order pro-
VdIng a physician for every five hun
dred people Is now very difficult Of en-
foroement, because the towns reply
that there Is no fund to pay for such
service.
This island Is one vast poor house
and there are opportunities for charity
at every step.
We're $4,000 TO be expended immedi-
ately for medicine and medical aid. II
would possibly snye the lives Of 5000
people. AT one time the government
considered the feasibility Of assigning
a physician to each town at an agsre-
gate cost Of $S0.0OO per year. but the
funds for such an outlay are not avail
