A Turkish Health Report.

The French government, wishing to
obtain definite statistics on points re-
lating to certain Turkish provinces
recently sent blanks with questions
lating to certain Turkish provinces,
to be answered to the Provincial gov.
errors. The replies received from
the Pasha of Damascus are worth
quoting:
Question What is the death ratio
in your province?
Answer. In Damascus it is the will
of Allah that all should die. Some die
young and some die old.
@. What is the annual number OF
births?
A. God alone can say do not
know, and hesitate to inquire.
@. Are the supplies of water SUI
ficient and of good quality?
A. From the remotest period nc
one has died in Damascus of thirst.
General remarks as TO the local san
itation: Man should not bother him
self or his brother with questions
that concern only God.
