QUARANTINE.
To the Editor.
Sir, —I was somewhat startled last night on reading a paragraph concerning the ship Charlotte Gladstone. Are the proper anthorities fully aware of the danger of letting a disease-stricken lot of immigrants into, at present, a healthy community ? It is all very well for a lot of doctors to lay their heads together and to agree about their landing; a fine harvest they would have if the fever and a few more of the many diseases which are said to exist on board were let into our midst. VV’liat are the Quarantine Islands for hut to pr tect us from imported contagions disease*? I thought, Mr Editor, you would have spoken o i this subject ere this. I hope some abler pen than mine will protest against their landing at present. By giving publication to this you will oblige.—l am, &c., A Subscriber, Rattray street, Feb. 20. 1873
