Shingles,
hinles is the commcn name for
disease known in medicine as her -
es zoster, an impressive name that
mes from two Greek words, her-
o, I,creep, and zoster, a girdle,
crew is an eruption that may ap-
meal en" almost any part of • the
body; it is: pr.opei;ly called shingles
or herpes zoster only when it comes
round the trunk.
Shingles generally begin with
pain, not unlike that of neuralgia,
whiclis often quite severe in the
parts ;where the eruption is to ap-
pear. After a time, varying from
a few hours to several days, groups
of large pimples appear, and the
skin all about the eruption becomes
inflamed and slightly swollen. The
pimples do not appear all at once,
but• in a succession of little crops,
and theygo on to form small vesi-
cles thaare filled with a transpar-
nt fluid. As the eruption comes
ut, the neuralgic pains generally
iminish..
Shingles, like 'attacks of herpes
other parts of the body, follow
he ,course of an inflamed nerve. It
s very unusual for the girdle to sur -
ouzel the body completely, but
here is no `fouudation for the com-
on belief that such a condition
eads to fatal results. The disease
ordinarily runs a course of from ten
ays to two weeks, although with
Neely persons it is sometimes more

Of the truth of what Dr. Fernow says,
Police Court records of oases of a most
degrading character from these squalid
farms furnish eloquent testimony. Life in
some of these remote farmhouses has sunk
to a level not far removed from mere ant.
malism, as ministers who have traversed
the districts know. In the last ten years
there has been a decrease in the popula-
tion of aboat 15 per cent., which indicates

Crown Colonies are "growing and prosper-
