DR. BEARD AT HOME
IN THE "BIG SMOKE."
Whilst on his recent visit to England, Dr Beard .a--ted on two occasions as locum tenens a few miles out <if London. He expresses surprise at the excellent condition in which many of the poorer people manage to keep themselves, though on an average they only earned 16s per ■week. What impressed him, greatly during liu .stay in the Big Smoke was the vast amount of wealth. On the whole he believed the conditions of the people were much improved. The Ei'gHshma,n was not such a quick thinker. Dr Beard 'said that whilst n.any men and. women went into the public houses he saAV very little drunkenness. A great deal of interest was being taken in the Hon. D. Lloyd-George's National Insurance Bill, and many of the medical fraternity were opposed to some of the clause's. The doctor did all the sights :n London, witnessing the Coronation, and also visited many of the co-unties of England Herald.
