State whose fee is divided with runner. Dr.
Jenkins declares that poor Jack is sometimes
prevented from seeing doctor at all, In wnlch
case not a cent that he pays for professional
treatment reaches the pocket of a competent
and honest practitioner.
1t was to meet the requirements of this dis
graceful situation that DIR. Jenkins proposed
what is known as the Marine Hospital Service
for Foreign Sailors At present the system Is
sadly inadenuate to the real need. Provision Is
made for distributing the benehciaries among
existing hospitals in this city, but the number
of beds available for the purpose Is extremely
limited What DIR. Jenkins wants Is an inde-
pendent institution which shall provide for seV
era hundred men at one time. lis scope mlght
be broad enough to insure proper care for the
sufferer from any malady but special consldera-
ton would be given to particular class OF con-
tagious diseases which by reason or their far-
reaching effects must be counted among the
most terrible Affections known to the human
race Sir Thomas Watson remarked that they
count their victims not only among the self
"indulgent but also among good women and IN
.'nocent children by the hundreds Of thousands
According to Dr. Jenkins himself, 80 per cent OF
the instances OF blindness at birth IS per cent
of the cases of paresis and countless other phys
icai mental and moral woes to which me race
is subject are traceable to this appalling cause
The service which 1t Is proposed to render
to the foreign sailor would begin with medical
treatment of the best possible character and
would be prolonged sufficiently TO make him no
longer menace to society. It would be sup
pIemented by an educational process which could
not fail to have a wholesome effect on the man.
The benefits would not cease here, however.
The enterprise would also serve as a protection
to society at large. When these varied features
are fairly comprehended it seems strange that
the endowment needed to carry out the plan was
not long ago put at the disposal of its author.
