THE QUAIL ISLAND LEPER.
A correspondent signing himself "Duty," but who encloses his card, writes to us:—i'Ro the article appearing in Saturday's issue of yoiti , paper entitled <A Living.Death,' I am sure it will appeal to the hearts of the many philanthropic people in our midst. It is, I'presume, a unique caso for New Zealand, and one which calls loudly at the door of humanity. The dread disease and its inevitable consequences will no doubt prove a great barrier to- many who would otherwise be only too glad to help to alleviate the misery and suffering of a fellow mortal. If it is any consolation to those interested in the caso to know that a volunteer is not lacking to take charge of the unfortunate young man, I am willing, in the name of humanity, to undertake all risk so that one of our number may not have tospend his last days unattended and uncared for. I might say I've had a medical training which may proye useful, should my proffered services be called into requisition."
