Dr Wilkins writes to the Christchurch papers to the effect that Mr Cass’ specific for dysentry may he of advantage for adults but it would be a “ deadly ” remedy for children. The ravages of typhoid have been painfully exemplified in the case of a wellknown and much respected resident of Timaru. A short time since he was attacked with typhoid; his wife has since been attacked with the same complaint; his three children were laid up with it, and two of them have died, while the other is seriously ill, and according to latest accounts it seems dubious whether the father of the family will ever again leave his bed. maid servant has also been seized with the fever and is now raving in the hospital. The doctors have since inspected the premises occupied by this family, and they found the atmosphere so pestilential from the decaying rubbish spread around and the defective drainage, that they expressed the opinion that people should avoid going near the house, at least for the present for fear of consequences. Will the Timaru people and the Ashburton people and the people of very many other places be wiser for the future ? Five thousand acres of farm land" belonging to the Duke of Marlborough, have been deserted by the farmers, and thrown unused on the owner’s bands ; and a similar state of things in Warwickshire, Wiltshire, and Gloucestershire gives some uneasiness to the British landlord in general.
