This little preach, says the Philadelphia Times, is not meant in any way to run down the advant- ages to be derived from the highest mental training, but what good will diplomas and honorary degrees be if in a moment of impulsive recklessness, or owing to some unforseen accident, the student learns, alas, that it is sink or swim, with nine chances out of ten in favor of the former, if there has never heretofore been given, along with the other thought to be necessary lessons, a single one of the most im- portant branches of the human educa- tion?' Boys and girls alike should be given instruction it, this branch. Par- ents would feel highly incensed if some outsider were to remark that they cared more for the mental health of their children than for their. physi- cal welfare. Yet in many cases this is true, though perhaps unwittingly so Outside of the fact that a knowit dge of swimming may sometimes be the means of saving life, it 1$ a most healthful and delightful; exercise, even though never put to any more exact- ing purpose than to pass away pleas- antly a few hours at the natatorium or in the surf. In giving children as many of the pleasures of life as lie 'within the power of their parents to grant, lessons in swimming should be among the first thought of, for the pastime, unlike many others, serves a double purpose that may some day prove its practical usefulness, Excursion to Port Stanley.

This ansoeiation met in the council chamber of the new town hall, Sea - forth on the 11th iust, About a score of medical men and medical students were present. Dr. Turnbull, of Clinton president, occupied the chair. Local men reported cases in practice and in- teresting discussions were held upon Important points. The great feature of the meeting, however, was the pres• ence of Dr. Mcllonagh, of Toronto, a specialist on the ear, nose and throat, who is a teacher of his particular branches in the Toronto school of med- icine. The doctor came upon special invitation of the society and contribu- ted an excellent paper on the "treat- ment of diphtheria." The doctor in commencing his address, referred to the time, some 19 years ago when he was a student with Dr. Campbell,hence he was not an entire stranger in their midst- His address, for he only spoke from notes, occupied about an hour, and was one of the ablest and most comprehensive we have eyer heard on that important subject. The doctor had instruments present with which he illustrated the mode of performing some delicate operations on the throat on which he is the highest authority in the country. At the coueiusion of his address an interesting discussion took place on the subiect of the paper and questions were asked the doctor on various points raised by him. The doctor answered everything s'atisfac torily to all. It was then moved by Dr. Campbell, seconded by Dr. Smith,. that a hearty vote of thanks be tender- ed to Dr. McDonagh, for his able, in- teresting and exbaustive address on the treatment of diphtheria, and that he be elected as honorary member of the Huron Medical Association. This resolution was carried unanimously. The doctor made a suitable reply, gracefully accepting the honor con- ferred upon him, after which he left to catch the 5 o'clock train. It was de- cided that the doctor's article should be published in the medical journals. Af- ter some other business the meeting came to an end, Personal 'Mention.

The attendance was very much smaller than usual, partly, no doubt, on account of the op- pressive heat. The meeting was led by the President, Mr. D. Stewart, and was of the usual character, the calling of the roil by the Secretary, Miss Jessie Moir, and the reading of the responsive Bible references by the active mem- bers, interspersed with suitable music, occupied most of the time. The topic cards for the weekly prayer meetings of the Society, for the latter half of this year, are already in the hands of the members. At the regular meeting of the Society, held in the vestry of the church on the Monday evening prey ious, 11 was decided to confine the prayer meetings during the hot wreaths er strictly to half an hour. The mem hers should bear this in mind and gov- ern their tongues accordingly, We have a member or two who read very long references, sometimes a whole chapter, but this should generally be discour- aged, especially if the chapter lsalong one. The ideal prayer meeting gives all the members a chance, and they all take it. -Mr, L.

Communication, • Pressed Chicken I'xi. t'ie dies. To TILE EDITOR Ol TIID ADVOCATE.. Sxa:-Tn your issue of the 121h lust.e we notice a cOmmunieation from Mr, Thos. Rowe regarding• pressed chicken and pickles and a person would .in- fer from its reading that the whole blame rested on our shoulders from the sale of some pickles that was Made by us to R. N. Rowe, Note we took the trouble to make some inquiry abort this matter in order to . protect our- selves and customers from any possible danger arising from the sale of these pickles. We find that Mr. Follicle par- took freely of the pressed chicken and was taken violently ill and had to se- cure the services of a Dr. but did not. partake of the pickles. We may say that we sold these same kind of pickles to a number of our customers and they have come back the second and third. time for them and we have yet to hear of any bad effects from their use, As regards the circulation of the report that hellebore was used instead of pep- per it -was common conversation on the street, and we had nothing to do with it at all. Therefore we repudiate the insinuation that we should have circu- lated this report in order to sell our pickles, we have no need to do so as out pickles sell themselves. This is our version of it.
