‘
Arrenrion has again been ealled to the
great value of burnt oyster saelis (reduced
to powder) ih cases of cancer. Mr. W ° rH.
Woodcock, writing to the Scientific Ameri-
“an, says :
“Your paper of June 4, 1887, contained ai extract from the London Lancet relative t treatment of cancer with calcium carbonate. Chere being no physician here, | treated a

Che following is the paragraph to which Mr. Woodcock refers ‘*In a recent numb f the Laacet, D: Peter Hood, of London, refers to a commuunl eation of his pablished in the same journ nearly twenty years ago, on the value uo ea. im car onat in the form of calcine: oyster alie!'s as a means of arresting ti growth of cancerous tumors.

which he then reported, that of a lady nearly eighty years old, the growth sloughed away und left a healthy surface after a course o!
e remedy, as much as woul? lie on a shilling taken once or twice @ dayin a little warm water or tea, He now reports another case of scirr- hus of the breast, in the wife of a physician, in which the treatment was followed by an arrest of the growth and « cessation of the pain, the improvement, having now lasted for years, and no recrudesceace having thus far vceurred. He urges that the remedy can do no harm, and that the prima facie evidence ii its favor is stronger than that on which, at Dr. Clay's recommendation, the profession lately disp! ayed aa extrao dinary eagerness to try Chian turpentine. He would restrict the trials to well marked cases of scirrhus, ane insists that no benefit should be looked for i:

fhis simple remedy might certainly be tried without harm, wend perhaps with good effect, by those who have the misfortune to be affected by cancerous disease. ++ e+e ——_________—_—
Notes and Comments.
~The St. John Telegraph reports that ‘‘it is along time since the harbor has pre- sented such an appearance of activity as it does at present.
—The Patriot excuses its suppression of the returns showing a decrease of the public debt anda surplus of $5,000,000 of revenue, on the plea that Sir Richar Cartwrizhet says that the official statements of the Finance Department are misleading. The Patriot refers to Sir Richard as of one whose remarks about financial riatters are not to be questioned ; but the late Hon. George Browa, with nearer, and fuller and truer insight, spoke of him as ** that mixer and muddier of figures.”
~Again we suggest that another water pipe be laid parallel with Queen Street, so that the street—lately macadamized at large expense—may not be spoiled by, th: digging of trenches in connection with water service for houses and stores. The cost of diguing a number of short trenches across the street, laying a number of pipes, and repairl is the streets for years to come will, we believe, be fully as great, if not greater, that if one pipe be laid parallel with the street. This suggéstion should, in our opinion, comraend the attention of the Water Commissioners and other Civic auUL Ori lies.
The Montreal Gazette finds that Unit- ed States returns show that during the six months ended Sist December last, the United States used the Canadian Pacific railway for the transportation of goods to China and Japan to the extent of shipping by this route 5,351,663 pounds of wares. The largest item is that of cotton, of which of United States make, 4,789,791 pounds were sent via the Canadian Pacifie railway. During the eighteen months ended 31st Deceinber, 1883, the total shipments via the Canadian Pacitic railway by our neigh- bors for China and Japan amounted to 10,- 877,018 pounds. This shows an increase of the exporis of the last six months of the period over the six months preceding of over 90 per cent.
, Married in Boston We have very great pleasure in announc- ing the marriage of Alexander Anderson, Esq., eldest sonof Dr. Anderson, of Prince of Waites College, and Miss Millie L. Beer, eldest daughter of Dr. Beer, of this city. The happy event took place in Boston to- day. Mr. Anderson is now superintendent and manager of the Thomson-Houston El- ectric System, in the city of Norfolk, Vir- ginia. His success in his profession has been very marked, and we have doubt that, tu the midst of a large population, appre- ciative of talent, he will go on to take high rank among the electrical engineers of 's aye and generation. His bride ia, it is oe wanted ve < the fairest daughters ‘wn, one who will grace the ome and adorn t

After some preliminary remarks, and in structions to the officers in reference to the wtion they should in future take in certain eriminal cases, His Honor referred to the
rner-loafing nuisance. He said that a rood many complaints were being made sbout this evil, and he thought that a more letermined effort should be made fo crush it vat. He knew how difficult it was to con- tend with this nuisance. He was aware, slso, that certain members of the force were not quite so strict with loafers as they should be. For instance, an ofticer would see a crowd at a corner, and in passing tell them te move on. This, of course, they would do; but as soon as the ofticer’s back was turned they would return to their posts. He thought 8 good plan for the officers in cases of this kind was to ote down the names of persons
seen hanging about the corners, = 80
that when they came before himfor drunk- enness, as they were pretty sure of doing sooner or later, he could be able to find out for acertainty whethee or not he had just sruunds for giving them 30 or 90 days. He could not conscientiously impose a heavy fine upon a maa or boy unless he had the tronvest evidence that he deserved it His Honor also condemned the practice many respectable people have of standing
iattineg at the corners, tih reby setting a bad example.
The leaving of empty or fall dry goods voxes lying about the sidewalks, silowing cellar hatches to remain open, and horses to be driven on the sidewalks cor drawn up mi the street crossings, was next consider-
1 In reference tu the dry oO ls box uisance, His Honor thought that mer- hants should be allowed a reasonabie time
open up their goods and smove their boxes. On no aceount, how- ever, must either empty or fuil boxes be eft outside on Sundays lf any such
e.ses come under the observation of the thicers, they should get a summons for the guilty persous on Monday. In the matter cf leaving hatches open, he thought that in cases where they were leit open for the purpose of drying the cellars the officers should not be too exacting ; but when they were left open through carelessness, an example should be made ot the offenders. The officers should not allow persons to draw up their horses or carriages on the sidewalks or street crossings, a practice that was. quite prevalent just now among
! people Who should know be ter. He hoped
that in future there would be less of it, His Honor next referred to the Scott Act, and the manner in which it was being arried out. He said that since the first ot he year there had been twenty-nine infor- nations laid and nine convictions obtained. Of these informations, four were laid by members of the police force and the remain- der by Henderson. Only one convie- tion had been obtained on the information of the police. This was to be regretted. He was aware, and he thought every in- telligent citizen was aware, that drunken- ness was on the increase both inside and outside the city limits. Cuountry people were getting into the habit of going home lrunk in the evening, and ?t was now actually becoming dangerous for persons, particularly women, to travel the rows after dark. ‘This was not the case two
}yearsag», He bad no hesitation in saying
that there was a great diminution in lrunkenness while the Scott Act was eniorced. The manner ia which the Act was being carried out just now would not do. Only four informations by the police in four months—two by Passmore and two by Bradley—in a city where drunkenness was so prevalent, and where some of the streeis—notably,Pownal—were licerally honey-combed with liquor dens. He had been asked by a member of the force,whose name he would not mention just now, how he could expect mento do their duty in the matter of enforcing the Scott Act when they felt assured that the City Couucil would take the first opportunity of dismiss- ing them for so doing? He thought the otticer’s fears were groundless. He felt assure that the Council would do no such thing. The members of the Council had a duty of their own to perform, and he was very certain that they would not interfere with the policeman who faithfully dis- charged his. Why, the principal members of the Board that appointed the Marshal Prosecutor said they did so because they thought he wouid discharge his daty fearlessly and honestly. It matters not if every case brought before him was lost, they had to do their daty. When the officers see men reeling in and out of a place wherein liquor is known to be sold, it is their duty to bring theia up and have thew und the liquor-dealer punished. If the officers did this, every law-abiding citizen would be satisfied that they were doing their duty. He was told that there never was 4 time in the history of the Island when there were so many places open for the sale of beer aud strong liquor. The beer-sellers must be looked after as well as the seller of strong drinks. He did not think it right that Prosecutor Passmore should have laid but two informations since his appointment in February last, and was not at all surprised that some people should think that his usefulness was not very great. He thought it was an unfortunate thing for the police force, as weil as for the city, that it should be said that so soon as a Prosecu- tor was appointed by the Council drunken- ness sould increase. If the Act were not better carried out in future, it would be his duty to report to the Council that nothing was being done. He was aware that Hen- derson received a good deal of assistance from temperance men—assistance which the officers did not have. But he did not think this accounted for the difference be- tween the work done by the officers and by
/Henderson. He had spoken time aud |sgain about this matter of enforcing the
Seott Act, aud he hoped that his talk would
