Good news spreads rapidly and drug-
gists here are kept busy dispensing
freezone, the ether discovery of a Cin-
cinnati man, which is said to loosen
any corn so it lifts out with the fingers.
Ask at any pharmacy for a quarter
ounce of freezone, which will cost very
little, but is said to be sufficient to rid
ranee feet of every hard or soft corn or
callus.
You apply Just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
is so snriveled that it lifts out with-
out pain. It is a sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inflames or even irritates the adjoin-
ing tissue. -
sp This discovery will prevent thou-
sands of deaths annually from lockJaw
and infection heretofore resulting from
the suicidal habit of cutting corns. p

LESSONS IN EUGENICS.
N 1815 William and Mary Dack and theiryoung son, Samuel, came from
~ Ireland and settled in western Pennsylvania. William was a peculiar,
silly old fellow, who drank a good deal, stole sheep and other valu-
ables. Mary his wire, and also his cousin, was ignorant, quarrelsome,
and would become angry at her husband and leave him for days at a time.
This pair proved a bad investment for the United States, and parti-
cularly for Pennsylvania. Mrs. Annie Finlayson, investigating for the
Warren State hospital, got track of 754 names of descendants o1' persons
who married descendants, Taking out all persons dying at less -than 20
1 years of age, all persons Marrying into the family, and all who moved.
away and were entirely lost trach of, Mrs, Finlayson had left 153 descend-
ants of William. and Mary, concerning whom she was able to secure fairly
compldata.
Of the lot no one was a distinctly good citizen or a force for good in
the community, Forty, although mostly of a low order of intelligence, are
i capable of controlling their emotions and have not been a burden on
society,
ete
In the second group are seventy-two individuals. The members of
this group show various evidences of degeneracy, such as shiftlessness,
illiteracy, lack of average judgment, sexual irregularity, heavy drinking,
quick and violent tempers, and inability to control their emotions.
In the third group are forty-one individuals. Some of these have been
in insane asylums, some in penitentiaries, some in Jails, and some in poor-
houses. Most of the insane have had some form of emotional insanity.
They are quarrelsome, quick tempered, violent, and given to sulking. The
disposition to leave their marital mates is very marked.
Twenty-five were insane, twenty are described as lazy and shiftless,
thirty-nine are below the average of intelligence, and thirty-four are
described as ugly and quarrelsome, Thirty were alcoholics, twenty-seven
were notoriously, sexually irregular, eighteen had a habit of leaving their
husbands or wives as the case was.
Of the nine children of William and Mary, Jane and Curtis founded
the two worst fatality trees. Jane married her cousin, a bad man. Curtis
married a defective woman from defective stock, The traceable cost to
the state for caring for worthless descendants of this pair is $28,354. The
actual cost to society has been inflstitely greater than that. There is no
way of knowing the cost to the state or the value to the state of the mem-
bers of the family who have moved far away, but the state of Pennsylvania
laid up trouble for itself when it allowed William and Mary to move in
and unrestrainedly to spawn out.a worthless brood.
Two of the eugenic lessons Mrs. Finlayson draws from this family
are: The marriage of cousins of defective stock produces a large propor-
tion of defective offspring. Highly defective strains ought to be investi-
gated and registered.
The foregoing is an example of what we should endeavor to avoid in
Ontario, How are we profiting by lessons of this kind? Everyone know
of some feeble-minded, vicious, drunken father or mother, or perchance
some unfortunate half -silly girl in a community, either of whom are pro-
pagating their kind and laying the foundation for such a record as that of '
the Dock family. There are many of the class referred to in this Province..
They are steadily adding to our population of undesirable people. Our
10055 system of immigration helps in the same diredtion Just as in the Deck
case, A census of Dur insane asylums, institution for the feeble-minded,
and Jails show a large element of foreign population whtoh should never
halve been received in Canada. A strict medical examination of ail
immigrant« would prevent a lot of this and segregation of tiro undesirable
classes we have so as to prevent marriage and the propagation of such
species would tend to keep our people mentally strong and save the country
a lot of money, Think about it! Is it not worth while?
No medical examination of immigrants at the port of entry or ori ship-
board, especially If the latter is carried on by the ship doctor, is of much
value, because the llrst Is too hurried, and for the reason that the second Is
made by the official of the steamship company, whose objeet is to land as
many •immigrants as possible. The only satistaetory medical examination
of immigrants is one made- by a thoroughly qualified medical examiner or
molical board in the employ of the Federal Government before embarka- •
tion, and preferably at certain centres in the native Countly of the proposed
immigrant, In this way only will this country be saved the unloading of
defective and dlseaeed people, which has been the curse of the United.
States. Let us profit by their mistakep. . ,_. -,
