The erection of open-air hospital for the treatment of consumption is rapidly spreading th oughout England, writes the London correspondent of the Melbourne “Argus.” Day and night the patients are exposed to the fresh invigorating air. In cases that are taken “in time" absolute cure seems to be a certainty. In all cases there is great relief and improvement. The Mount Vernon Hospital, so near London as Hampstead, is one of the most sucees ful in the country. There a-e 100 inmates, and 400 are waiting their turn of admission.
At Balaclava years ago, Six hundred men engaged the foe. Ah 1 what a gallant charge was made, By that courageous Light Brigade. Though many peri.-hed there, who knows The number killed by Russia’s snows, For none can damp and cold endure, Without some Woods' Great Feppermint Cure.
