Is d reminder especially to towns situated
as advantageously as Sears port, that it is
much cheaper to secure water from some

rounding us, where not only the best of
water may be obtained but can be supplied
by gravity, thereby SO cheapening its intro
ducton that we may not only have the
health and luxury of Il beautiful supply of
good water but the lowering of insurance
rates by hydrant protection that will almost
pay our rates bill. Then, the first question
asked by summer visitors is, "What have
you for a water supply?' With our rail-
road coming we all hope and expect that
many others in addition to those who have
been making their summer homes here will
be attracted to our shores, and we must be
in position to answer promptly, "We have
not only the best water but an ample sup

I nQer the caption "A Nfeult TO HOmeO-
pathy,'' the North American Journal of
Homeopathy for January last publishes a
very appreciative notice of the rise to fame
and scientific ttainments of DR.. W. III.
Waters, whom we have known for years as
''Searsport boy" and who while still quite
young man, has reached international
recognition. Since his graduation DR.. Wat
ers has quickly risen to an established place
in the realm of anatomical, analytical and
general pathological service, and by his dis
covery of a new method of preserving and
mounting anatomical and pathological speci-
mems he has made most important cOntri-
button to medical science, since the method
insures permanency of appearance to the
specimens, and makes them available, as
the article says, ''tO instructors and students
in the study not only of pathological but of
historical tissues" The method makes it
possible to have these specimens always
at hand, whereas formerly 'fresh patho-
logical specimens were matter of chance
and all preserved specimens rapidly lost
their characteristic color and outline DIR.
Waters method is that of an immersion in
specially prepared gelatine mixture, the
whole being covered with glass, and pre-
serves the appearance and coloring in way
hitherto unattainabie.' A collection of
DR.. Waters mounts, 800 in number, was on
exhibition at the Palace of Education and
