Paid With interest,"

In Burnaby's Travels In America In
1852 the following incident is related:
The captain of a British man-of-war
cruising off the Massachusetts coast
left his wife in Boston On one of his
visits to port she came down to the
wharf to meet him. and she was pub
hcly kissed by her loving spouse. This
violation of the law was at once re-
ported. and the captain was brought
before the magistrate and sentenced to
be publicly whipped. There was no
getting out Of it. and the captain sub
mitted quite gracefully.
Just before the departure of his ship
he gave an elaborate entertainment. to
which all of the magistrates were in
vited. After the festivities were over
and every one had shaken hands with
the captain and was going over the
side the magistrates were seized by
the arm and stripped to the waist
Each one was led to the gangway.
where a vigorous boatswain gave him
thirty-nine lashes on the bare back
and then hustled him over into a boat
amid the cheers Of the whole ships
company.

"Curinan Diseases.

What is cure?" asks the editor of
the London Lancet in reproving doc
tors for the loose way in which they
use the word. Nothing ever gets CON-
pletely well'' is an aphorism of great
medical philosopher.
Only when the cause Of a diseased
condition has been removed, it's effects
neutralized and the organism protect
ed against it's activities in the future
have we the right to speak of the
cure" of the patient, is the editors
opinion. Immunity conferred by such
a cure. he says. may be only temporary.
Where q disease process is only linn
tied or shut off and it's further spread
prevented. while the causal agent re
mains. we should speak of arrest. but
not of cure. Where grave organic
damage has occurred and function has
been restored by vicarious activities
we should speak Of the result as one
of repair or compensation"
