If troubled with any PRIVATE or CHRONIC disease DON’T DELAY, but CONSULT

AT ONCE A SPECIALIST who CAN CURE you if it is possible for you te be cured.

Much permanent illness is brought about from the simple fact of ignorance in the man- agement of our own bodies. Many serious troubles might have been prevented by consultjng a specialist of known ability at the proper time. That well-known axiom, ‘‘a stitch in time saves nine,” may be applied to the practice of medicine in the treatment of diseases of the most painful and dangerous nature. If the first warning symptoms are obse rved and brougit to the notige of a compelent specialist, the final (and often fatal) permanent disease might have been prevenied.

Rut even if such a chronic condition is present, it is always possible to alleviate and often possible to arrest the progress of the disease, and thus make an otherwise miserable existence a happy one, by consulting one who has devoted years of his life to the treatment of chronic .ilments.

To Treat Private and Chronie Diseases Successfully

not only requires special ability, but also an extensive experience, and as thousands of rare and obscure cases are yearly treated by them, aided by all that medical science of to-day atJords, it can readily be seen why it is that they are so successful in the curing of all Private and Chronic Diseases, Syphilis, Catarrh, Asthma, Consumption, Heart Disease, Dyspepsia, Kidney, Liver and Bowel Diseases, Piles, Rheumatism, Cancer, Tumor, Varicose \ eins, Ulcers, Deafness, Sore and Weak Eyes, Blood and Skin Diseases, Fits, Female Complaints, Nervousness, Stammering, Bashfuiness, General Debility, and all Diseases of the Nervons System, are among their principal specialties

The Special Remedies used for DIABETES Mellitus never fail te Cure It will be for your interest, if sick or unwell, to consult the Consulting Surgeon, who

has had years of experience in treating the above-named diseases. All cases that have come under his personal supervision have rarely if ever failed to be benefited or cured.

“HE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of}

| A Few Suggestions. — —

Sir,—The elections now being over, and

| haps not be out of place to look ata few of ‘the matters with which the new House will have to deal.

Now, at the outset, it is plain that-neither party have much to boast of in the way of advantage over the other. If the late

| elections teach any lesson, it is that the onan appreciates the economical manner 'in which the affairs of the province have | been administered under the late Govern- !ment, and have pronounced that no other |policy and no other methods but those based on the utmost economy, the most careful management of the financial affairs of the province, consistent with the proper working the various departments, will be tolerated. The fact that a province with so unaccountable a tendency towards Gritism in Dominion politics, should for the fourth time have pronounced in favor of a Conservative Government, must indi- cate that in the main the conduct of that Government has been in the public inter- est. Still there are various reforms which the country still demands, and which the | thinking, independent men of each party admit are required. The firet and most pressing demand is the reduction of the Legislature. The questions which can now be left to our lacal legislature are of so trivial and unimportant acharacter, and the amount of money that will be at the dis- posal of our local administration is so small that it seems the height of folly to keep up the same establishment as when all the functions of goyeynment were performed by our local legisiature and ex- ecutive. We on the Island have

over eight times as wmany legis- lators per head as Ontario, ut this is not all. Qn the island, all the important measures have been decided in the past, | The local legislature has grappled with the land question and it has been settled. The same with education. We have a splendid: system of education which, inthe main, | seems to he acceptable to the majority of our people. Then the railroad. We have! more miles of railroad per head than any | country in the world, perhaps. In fact, it} is almost impossible to conceive of any | question arising on the Island that woujd | call for guch ay aggregapion of wisdom as) we have in our two Houses of Parliament. | Now is it not possible, when the two par-' ties are so clusely matched so far as num- bers are concerned, and when it is impossi- ble under the present arrangement for the dominapt party $0 carry any measure with- out the conseut of the other, to form some sort of an arrangement —well, coalition, if necessary—to carry what is admitted by everyone to be a much needed and abso- |; lutely necessary reform. Certainly the. country would give its heartiest approval ta & measure emanating from any party or, from both parties, having for its object the curtailing of the expenditure for legislation. | Then there is the question of education. | While, ag] said befure, we have an admir- able system of education, still it is not without faults and anomalies. Take, for

instance, the city of Charlottetown, and compare it with the First District of Queen’s County. The population in these

two places is about the same. Forty teachers inthe First District received in 1855 irom the Government about $730 for, supplements, while twenty-seven teachers in Charlottetown received $2,237.50. Now. for higher education, Charlottetown receives from the Government a sum at least five times as great aa does the country digtrict at the present time. Now this is certainly not as it should be. The country people do not object to Char- | lottetown giving its youth a higher school’ education, but they do most decidedly object to helping to pay for it; and in the same way if the Charlottetown people want to pay their teachers a higher salary than the statutory allowance, they think it only right that they should pay the bill them-' selves. Apdin the same way it is only right under the circumstances that each district on the Island should be placed on, an equality so far as Government aid is concerned, and if any district feels that it wants the services of a first-class teacher it is only right that that district should pay the additional salary needed to procure one. This ig the principle that is adopted in other places, and it is the only fair system. It is admitted on all sides that some change is needed in the education system. [6 is certainly getting too expensive and alto- gether out of the ability cof the Island to pay for. Stil] it woyld be very imprudent to do anything to decrease the efficiency of the common schools. The districts that have first class schools as a rule are the dis- tricts best able to pay the additional ex- pense, and they certainly are the districts that have the best right to do so. More- over, if taxation is to come, it is better to have as much of it as possible «assessed locally, for when the money is filtered through the hands of a lot of officials it cer- tainly is not likely to increase, however much it is inclined to grow less in the pro- cess. Still the amendments to the educa- tion act have to be made with the greatest care, and our system of common school education must be efficiently maintained, and if anything in the way of scientific edu- cation is attempted by Government aid, let. it be in the direction of fitting the youth of , the Island for their life werk. Instruction | in scientific agriculture shoujd, undoub‘ed- ly, he added to the list of compulsory studies in our schools. This question of education is one that | could and ought to be amended by an | understanding between both sides of the; House. [tis admitted by ath thet changes | should be wade, and made they will have) to be. Why could not party lines be! broken down for the time being, and let | representatives of the people remember that they are sent there by, and represent thie w e people, itd thst mo prindipal is

other aspect, as our friend Mr. Bell, M. P, P., says, later on. o. &, i. ++ Prince of Wales College.

Srr,—The studenis of Prince of Wales College are patient and long-suffering. But there is a p ist where patience ceases to be a virtue. That point has, in my opinion, been reached.

Most people aware that, under the most favorable ciicumstances, « student of moderate means from the country has no easy life while attending college. The work set down in the course will tax all his energies. Too often the boarding houses are cold and uncomfortable. Now, besides all these ills which student flesh is heir to, we, the students of Prince of Wales College, are obliged to sit in rooms so cold as to be not only uncomfortable but really dangerous to our health. How is it that the highest educational institutian of the province, supported by the Government, is scarcely better than a barracks! This has been the state of affairs ever since the cold weather began, but nothing has been said, as we were all unwilling to give additional trouble to the Professor, already overbur- dened with work on account of our slender staff.

And speaking of professors, does it not seem a piece of injustice that three teach- ers should be expected to do the work formerly done with difficulty [by four. Atd on the other hand should we be ex- pected to get as much instruction in the term as formerly. It is said that in the eXamination no allowance will be made for the non-appointment of a professor. Now, Sir, since the election is over and the Gov- ernment sustained, is it not possible, even

| @t this late hour, for the appointment te

be made. Surely the inconvenience and loss sustained by upwards of 150 students should be a matter of some moment to our Local Legislature, [n writing this ] know that 1 am but expressing the opinions of, £ might say, every student in the College. Hoping that these matters will regeive the attention they merit, I remain yours.

The tost ef Running ‘the Allan Fleet.

Some curious facts and figures with re- gard to the cost of running Atlantic liners were given at a social gathering of the em- ployes of the Allan liners at Glasgow last week. It was stated tha. a great deal more than a million pounds had been spent in building the fleet of the Allan line, but re- ference was more particularly made to the cost of keeping the boats running. The first cost of building vessels was a trifle to the cost of running them. Increditable as it might seem, the money that it took to keep the fleet of ocean steamers running would, in less than three years, exceed the cost of building, so enormous was the ex- penditure in wages, port duties, and repairs of tear and wear and other outlays in- cidental to voyages. In the Allan Line this expenditure amounted to nearly £1,- 000,000 in a year, and a}! that had to be paid out of the earnings before the owners could get any divilend. The amount paid in expenses would be encugh to give £20 to every family in Glasgow, taking the population at 600,000, with six persons in each family. If the clerk had to pay the suin in single sixpences at his window, and people passed in procession at the rate of fifty every minute, g2tting sixpence eich, and that was going on nine hours a working dsy, in four years anda half every man, woman and child in the United Kingdom would have passed the pay box and the pay clerk would still have about £59,000 to dis- tribute.
