More Soap and Water-Lsss Laudanum
Communicated.

MIR. Editor--I was surprised TO
find the statement of Mr.. Lewis in
yours of the 29th. l have been lead
to believe, and in fact, know, that in
struetions to keepers or superinten-
dents of such institutions as the
County Home has always been very
clear and positive relative to the san
itary conditions of the institutions
under her or his control.
Possibly the County Commission
ers mighc be able to enlighten him on
this subject. 1t is, however one, if
not the most important duty of the
Master of the House" Why not
buy less laudanum and more soap
and lime The public, / am sure,
would prefer the latter to the former.
The public will always furnish soap
and lime for such institutions, but
would seriously object to laudanum.
If the keeper has the right to spend
the public's money for one he surely
has the right to spend it for the
other.
