PIHYSICAI. INIIEItrl'ANCE.
When people use Ilse word 'leered-
ily" they tire very likely to Inco^ sono
dreadful bugaboo of a suppcssed nature!
law, which they have invented for them-
selves, through which the poor Mundt!
race comes hi for till the ailments and
ttcukutsses of its forbears, with none of
• the compensations.
L One hears constantly such phrases
as "her nn,Iher load c. nsuiiptioi." 0r
"his uncle drank himself to death," but
there is much less frankness in return•
Ing thanks for Itld physical benefits that
al -o conte down so abundantly frun'lhc
past.
It must not be forgotten that diseases
are not directly inherited, but only the
tendency to them. This is a very coir
(salable fncl• for it constantly offers a
reward for well -directed eft ort. it one
knows front the start which are the
!+venues open to danger one is fore-
warned and fonnrned. '!'liose who
lave that knowledge will not rake the
children in whose families Ihtre have
leen many instances of tuberculosis
end shut them up in stuffy places it
give them a diet containing too little
fat. They would be too wise to let the
cxcitribte child of is:•rvous parentage
lend a life 'of overstimulation or be
pushed in its studies, or to offer sips
of wine at the table to a smell boy
whose father is a heavy drinker.
Just as a predisposition to a disease
may be inherited, so also may an also -
tide inability to have it. One sees this
proved by persons who pass unscathed
through epidemic niter epidemic. This
dhows that their inherited tendency to-
ward the disease, if they have any, is
so much weaker than their inherited re-
sistance to it that tt ey aro virtually un-
able to catch it.
Nature herself shows constant prefer-
ence for the normal, and is always work-
ing to that end; therefore a tendency
lo disease is the punishment for disobey-
ing her, and a tendency to health is the
reward for obeying her. Neither is she
implacable, so that if one will only work
long enough and hard enough to correct
cne's mistakes there comes a lisle when
nature gives a clean bill of health. It
would be a tragic world indeed if only
the sins of the [metes were visited up -

FLAT FOOT.
Flat foot is a very common afliclien.
It is also one w• licit is frequently over-
Ik.okcet by physicians, says the Medical
Brief.
The patient complains of pain in the
heel, the ankle, the inner border of the
foot, great toe, the muscles of the calf,
the knee or even the hip. The busy
practitioner notes these symptoms in a
hurried, casual way, attributes them to
rheumatism, prescribes salicylates and
what not, and another flat tooted indi-
vidual plods his weary way.
Increased deformity is added to what
may have been merely toot strain in the
Creel place. A curable case has become
wellnigh incurable, and the medical
profession is again justly liable to well
deserved censure.
Any factor which tends to diminish the
muscular power of the foot may cause
Pat foot. A great increase in the weight
bc.rne by the toot may cause it. This
increase in weight may be actual, such
as occurs in people who put on a great
tkal of fat, or it may be relative, such
a occurs in athletes, jumpers especial-
ly. But by far the most common cause
✓ a cramping of the foot, brought about
to improper shoes.
For treatment of Ibis condition me-
chanical support to the deformed exit
ti practically all that is necessary. This
rtwechanieal support Ls best afforded by
means of the footplate made from high-
ly tempered sleet and moulded upon a
piaster cast of the foot.
The footplate should be worn as long
es i1 is required, but no longer. Addi-
tional wearing of the plate beyond the
time tlece"ssary, as indicatiel by the
symptoms, is sintr1y an additional cause
n harm. With the footplate a shoe
should be worn titling the normal con -
Sour of the foot.

Jabez Balfour. who recently co►nplet-
cd a term of 1t years' ingpr:somnent for
fraud in connection with the Liberator
focieties, has written a book, in which
he freely criticizes the English prison
system. Here are n few extracts: -

As to the ',proles of bodily search
known as "the dry loath.' of which Mr.
Balfour speaks in carefully -veiled phrns-
ee, it wens obviously an indignity which
might have been resented by a nigger

following may Fcrse to show:—
"A well -conduced youth, who was
walking inunedialely before me, halted
and stooped down to fasten Itis shoe-
lace. Ile was immediately pounced up-
on by the warder, who shouted, 'Pott
nre not to stop; you ac not to stoop;
you are not to pick up anything; you
are not to took anywhere unless I give
you leave.' 1 my': elf was twice reproved
try this ruffian for looking up at the
sky!
"Once a prisoner, in pasting me,
smiled. . . . The warder saw, and wits

milling is no! allowed here.' Ile wee
hardly have told lis that."
Ilunor creeps in everywhere — even
into a prison. (fere is a quaint expel..
ewe:—
"One morning 1 heard a tremendous

mine. 1 asked the warder whist the dis-
1urennre was nixed. nml he calmly 'c-
.plicd, 'Oh, it's nothing: it Ls only n fel-
