attempting to raise funds for the women

ordered an inquiry into the state Of affairs
in Brittany and has sent experts down for
the purpose. 1t is thought, too. that one Of

a vote of funds to stave off the pangs of
hunger among the fishermen, the timers

Surgeon McArdle has rendered a valuable
public service. He has given the sanction
of his great ability and experience and pre-
eminent position in his profession to the
urgent and all-important movement for
the suppression of tuberculosis in Ireland.
He selected Tuberculosis" as the theme
of his inaugural address. delivered before
a crowded and appreciative audience, on
the opening of the session at st. Vincent's
Hospital. and treated the subject with a
power peculiarly his own He showed that
while in other countries efforts and sue
cessful efforts, are being made to check
the ravages of tuberculosis in Ireland the
mortality from the disease is steadily in
creasing. Here too. tables were displayed
which showed the decline of the disease in
England and Scotland and it's increase in
ireland, till from being the most favored
this country has grown to be the most
scourged.
