He laid great stress upon the fact that
everyone should do all In his power 10
keep life always at its best. The world
was never better ordered than it is. at
the present day. There Is a large num-
Der OF people who are always seeing the
faults in others, and that there are some
who will go so far as TO lie about their
fellow men. These people are little bet
ter than scavengers. These same people
would be much better off if they would do
good themselves and try to aid others
instead of injuriRg- them.

Of the Disease.

New York, March l6.-Physicians of this
city were much interested in the London
despatch telling OF the new method for
the treatment OF typhoid which has been
made known by Dr. Allan MacFadyen,
whose paper TO the Royal society has
been commended ny lord lister. a dis

The interest was increased because
many cases OF typhoid have recently APP

that the disease Is supposed to attack res

The water supply and the oysters are
mentioned as probable sources OF contain

board OF health, said that the board was
not yet prepared to make public the re-
SILT OF researches IL has been making.
There are few cases OF typhoid in the
private hospitals. In the New York hosp-
tai, where there are several severe cases
in the private wards IL was said that
