t1Y Assee,Artp eatas.

PARIS, Sept. 11.-France needs
leeches. Drug stores and hospitals,
both military and civil have only a
small stock left. Large quantities Of
the gray and green variety were for
merly procured from leecn breeders
in southern Germany and Austria.
France now depends upon her colon
les in Algeria and Morocco for her
supply, where the Dragon" and the
Trout" species Of inferior quality
are raised.
The Gironde marshes in the south
of France were formerly a center Of
this lucrative industry, but the mo-
bilization OF the breeders has caused
a great decrease in the supply. The
use Of leeches has been obviated to
a great extent by the treatment CIV
en- in the many therapeutic institu-
tons, and 1t is estimated ahat Ftance
will soon have all 1t requires Of these
useful medical auxiliaries.
