THE BRITISH DOCTORS

These services will not only consist OF
consultation, examination and advice,
but also Of all minor surgical operations.

to become rapidly and personally &C.

other. This is mistake-it is exchapg'
ing one extreme for the other. None
are more apt to resort to faith healing
and totally to abiure medicine in everv
form than those who formerly sent for
the physician upon every pretext, both
when he was not needed and when he
WIS. As is usual in such cases, when
this pendulum comes to rest. it will be
found not at either side, but between
the two extremes; there truth lies.
There are men who have devoted their
lives to acquiring knowledge OF the
human body and the behavior OF its
parts in health and in disease. These
men are physicians. They. recognize
certain factors at work in producing
disease and know certain other factors
that can be depended upon to assist
nature in arresting disease processes or
in promoting recovery after the disease
has been checked. Only to such man,
who thoroughly understands the body,
can safely be entrusted the matter Of
deciding how Tar any disease process
has perverted the normal functions or
to what extent the natural forces can be
depended upon to secure recovery.
Even then it is not strange that he
sometimes makes Mistakes man
with finite mind dealing as he is with
q human body which only its Creator
fully comprehends. The personal equa-
ton, as one Of our great writer's has
aid, renders experience fallacious and
Judgment difficult"
The simple fact, however, that the
average human life is being heightened.
the suffering and the pain that attend
the beginning or the ending of human
life have been reduced, and our personal
and municipal comfort have been 30
greatly increased, are enough to warrant
all the efforts that are being put forth
to convert the treatment of the sick
into an exact science. Only by scientific
men can this be done and only by rea.
sonable methods can this be accom-
pllshed. Cure of disease by any system
which would become established must
be not merely coincident with or subse-
quent to the means put forth-it must
be obviously the result.

"A runor has reached us to the effect
that the postoffice authorities here intend
to change the numbers and locations of
some 900 or 400 private postoftice boxes
This report has caused great deal Of
feeling among the merchants, bankers,
and others holding those boxes, because
of the fact that there are seventy-fve
men. more or less who handle mail to be
serted in these boxes. who are now per
fectly familiar with the numbers and To-

THE ALIEN IMMIGRANT CASE.
Powderly ON the New
Orleans Controversy.

Regarding the published report, in ac-
cordanee with which Secretary Gage in
ctructed United States District Attorney

States District Judge Boarman. of New
Orleans. decided that person who had
taken ont his first naturalization papers
was sufficiently an American citizen TO
allow him to bring his children to this
country, independent Of the laws relat-
ing to alien immigrants, Commissioner
Powderly said yesterday:
THE declaration to become citizen OF
the United States is an expression of
purpose to renounce the declarant's orig
inal allegiance. 1t is not remuneration
of his original allegiance. The actual re-
nunciation is not effected until the appli-
cant is admitted to citizenship. 1t be-
comes simply a matter of record to do a
certain thing, namely, renOunce allegi-
ance to country of origin on becoming a
citizen of the United States"
As far as the idea of carrying the case
to the Supreme Court is concerned Com
missioner Powderly said that the act of
August IS. 1885,. settled that question, say
ing as it does:

cluded from admission into the United

The italian Government views with no
favorable eye the operations of this and
similar companies, which threaten to

there is some talk here of taking steps to
restrict emigration by the imposition of a
heavy tax or some such measure.

der special authority granted by the Sec
rotary of War.
when an organization is under orders
to proceed to the United States for mus

steps to cause the return to it of all alb
sentees except such as may be absolutely
unable to Join on account of illness or
capture by the enemy, and such officers
as may be necessary to be retained in the
service under authority to be obtained
from the Secretary of War. Officers and
men unable to join on account of sickness
will be discharged by the chief mastering
officer. Division of the Philippines. on the
date of the muster out of their organiza-
tion in the United States. which date will

ment. Officers and enlisted men unable

ticable, or on the date of arrival from

pliCatiOn approved by company ana regl-
mental commanders.
In connection with the discharge of en-
listed men. Judge Advocate General Lieber
has rendered an opinion that certificate
of discharge is not necessary to dis
charge. but that a soldier may be discharg
ed without certificate or before he is FUR
nished with a certificate, upon notice, ac-
tual or constructive, and that when vol
unteers are mustered out 1t is that act
that separates them from the service. He
says:
with reference to the so-called dis
charge furlough,' considering statement
of facts in regard to it set forth in the
Papers submitted by the Record and Pen
sion Office, which facts have not here
tofore been so fully presented. and con-
sidering what may be regarded as the
uniform practice of the department, to
hold that it was in fact the discharge

tice should be adhered to.

forth by the Judge Advocate General of
the Army in the foregoing commnnica-
ton are concurred in. and in future the

governed thereby"
