An unwarranted Assertion.

THE OASIS notes with sorrow that the Times in its issue of last Satur- day, and the day preceding, took occasion to criticise sharply and severely the Sisters of Mercy at St. Joseph's hospital for their alleged neglect or refusal to admit a man who was very i'll at the Arizona Hotel. In the first issue the al- legation was insinuated that the fact that it might be a charity case was the motive therefor. Saturday the subject was renewed, and the Times alleged that the sisters had awakened finally and received the patient.
 The Sisters desire THE OASIS to deny the allegations and insinua- tions of the Times, because they allowed not a moment to elapse before sending for the sick man as soon as they were notified of his condition and whereabouts; they even paid four men to carry the patient on stretcher from the hotel to the hospital. In this con nection it is due the Sisters to state that they never sleep when there is at stake the interest of poor, suffering humanity. They never refuse admission to a patient unless it be a case of intoxication; and they are only too willing to put forth every effort to alleviate the sufferings of afflicted human beings.
 The Sisters of Mercy are engaged in a noble work, and through the centuries they have carried it on unfiinchingly and unfalteringly ir all parts of the world. They are governed by code of regulations that has been an evolution, and from which there is no deviation Anyone who knows anything at al ought to know that such neglect al has been charged by the Time would be quite impossible. Ther' is no credit to Nogales in having emanate in the town the first un warranted charge against the Sis ters of Mercy.

BLOOD KILLS GERMS

ease when medicines fail.
One of the many illustrations is that
of tuberculosis, which refuses to yield
TO medicine. but must give way TO good
blood. A man from Philadelphia writes:
II have been fighting tuberculosis for
some years. and with weak stomach
