THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
Chimp, and Disease. These are days in which we reach down to the fundamentals of life. In the past we have had rather the habit of scratching the surface of tilings, and imagining that the top layer was continued ail tho way through to tho end. This is not the case, of course. In all things pertaining to life there are many layers, and our understanding is based on onr abilty to probe right through 'them all. For instance, we have awakened to the fact that preventive medicine and treatment are the fundamentals of good health, whereas net- so long ago the doctor with his black pill was considered to he the only milestone on the road to health. And just as we used to think that the torture of criminals was the only method by which we could reform them, so nowadays we are inclining to the view that perhaps after all there is something deeper in the criminal than we first imagined, and that his reform may be a matter of scientific treatment.
