SOCIETY AND THE PATIENT.
THE BEST WAY TO CARE FOR VICTIMS OF
CRUEL DISORDER.

THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF EPILEP
TICS. BY William Pryor Letchworth. IL. -.
Sons.
peculiar appeal to human sympathy is made
by the disorder which is here discussed. Its
victim, otherwise in good health is liable to ex-
perience a sudden loss of consciousness and
perhaps commissions. the latter being not only
shocking to behold but positive source of peril
at times. if the subject of the attack be alone
The fact that a may thus be overtaken
without warning seriously interferes with his OBJ
tanning employment in the ordinary pursuits of
life and leads to a certain degree Of social
isolation. In past ages ii was believed that he
was possessed Of a devil. To-day the world
knows better and yet the most advanced medi-
cal science is able to afford but little relief Tn
the treatment of this, of other nervous dis
orders the highest skill is required: and, though
epilepsy finds in some races and climates more
victims than in others. the malady is practically
worldwide in it's prevalence. 1t is estimated
that in the United States alone there are 1130OO
epeptics
Mr.. Letchworth has been associated with the
New-York State Board of Charities for twenty
five years, ten Of them as its president. During
this period he has been the author of many
humane suggestions and has exercised rare
power in ameliorating the conditions Of numer-
Gus unfortunate classes of society. In this book
and in his earlier ones on The insane, home
less children and other wards Of the State we
have testimony To long career OF noble SER
vice. He shows that epileptics be better
cared for If placed In separate homes than If
confined in insane asylums or institutions for the
weak minded But great deal OF agitation has
been necessary TO bring about the foundation of
independent places Of abode and treatment
and thus far only a respectable start has been
made in that direction. Ohio was the first State
in the Union TO establish home exclusively for
epileptics. The movement began long ago
1869, but did not secure legislative approval
until 1890 New-YOrk came next. In 1874 DR.
John Ordronnaux, then State Commissioner in
Lunacy, made an earnest plea for separate in
stitution. He repeated his argument year after

year. The others came to the support OF the
project. The bill providing for such home
received Governor Flowers signature in 1894.
charming site selected in Livingston
County, and now for five years the home has
been performing its benefcent mission. Massa-
chusetts, New-Jersey and Texas have followed
the example, and several other States have the
matter under consideration. In Europe Ger
many seems to have been the pioneer In this
beautiful charity, and there the work was at
first conducted under the auspices of the Church
rather than by the civil authorities.
The ideal home for epileptics, Mr.. Letchworth
says, should have rural surroundings. A cluster
of several cottages, each having from ten to
twenty inmates. is preferable to a single large
institution. The patients should have plenty of
outdoor work and fresh air and open freplaces
are strongly recommended. The Board of Man
ayers should include at least woman, and
the addition of female physician to the medi-
cal staff of each home is highly desirable.

Executive to the people (Which Mr.. Bradford
deems possible) is equally unlikely. since
Presidents who strong enough to act in that
way do not often arise, is it certain that
such course would be effective, except in pro-
noting revolution. All this Mr.. Bradford ad-
mits but he maintains that what cannot be done
all at can be done gradually. and that the
admission of the chief executive officers to seats
on the floor of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, advocated in the Pendeton bill OF
1881 would be beginning from which all the
desired results would flow

America. The betting stood to in favor

Roeber won the first bout, scoring a fall

Roeber left the ring for rub down

play was brief. Olsen attempted to gain Il

Dane gained a neck 4lock, which Roeber
successfully broke and Olsen followed with

Roeber claimed to have sustained frac-

Will Not Go to St. Louis.

John J. McGraw and Wilbert Robinson are
very much annoyed by the persistent state
ments in the papers that they will weaken
in their determination not to go to st. Louis
and make a graceful retreat from the posi-
ton they have taken in the matter. Nc
Graw said yesterday:
Il wish you would say for me that we are
not going to St. Louis We will play in
New York or Philadelphia If the league will
make arrangements to that effect, but We
positively will not go to St. Louis.
We have had no conversation with Pres
fdent Frank Robson of the St Louis club,
on the subject except this: When he came
here some days ago and met us at Mr.
Hanlon's house he asked US II we would go
and we said we would not. Mr.. Robson
then asked us not to make a final decision
at that time but to think it over during the
night and meet him at the Hotel Rennert
next day. We did think it over and came
to no different conclusion. so We sent a
note to Mr.. Robson the next day saying
that 1t would be useless to confer with him
again, as our resolution could not be
shaken. That was the extent of our nego-
tiatons with Mr.. Robson, and all state
ments to the effect that we are going with
him are false
