from President Castro also will have
the effect of placing a check on the
wholesale smuggling that is now no.

In his administration President Guz-

additional duty of 80 per cent on all
goods reshipped at Curacao or Trini-

Venezuelan and Colombian exiles and

DOCTORS AND CHARITY.
What the Medical Profe.sion Owes to
ths Benevolent I~nStitutionH OF
Our Couatry.

Human want and misery is not to be
altogether attributed tn ignorance in
the ordinary educational sense. nor al
together to economic conditions, but
largely to the mG1ign effects of
hereditary physical faint and unsani
tary surroundings, says American
Medicine. All modern communities
possess organizations OF the charita-
bly, inclined. and to the efforts Of such
~benevolent persons the medical pro-
fession is chiefly indebted for the
founding and support OF the many in
'stitutions through which physicians
exercise their functions among the
poor. 1t remains for the profession To
enter into tEis work in q more Syste-
matte way. Every city. county and
state medical society should have a
standing committee Of its most public
spirited members, whose particular
business il should be to cooperate ac-
lively with the organized charities III
the caIacity OF an advisory board. BY
such n system much may be done in
the way of preventing mistakes and
Of developing the form of preventive
charity which will seek TO ameliorate
suffering by the reduction of PERM
cious conditions. The splendid work
Of intirmaries, dispensaries and hospi.
tails in placing curative medicine at
the disposal of the diseased poor, needs
to be supplemented by bringing the
science of preventive medicine into
harmonious action with that form OF
charity which looks To the lessening
OF social evils along the lines of per-
I"nhl and public sanitation.
