DESTITUTE CHILDREN.
; TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Your correspondent C. J. Russell would deprive poor struggling people of one of the grandest of benevolent institutions, viz., our hospital. I think some of our medical men are inclined to be too hard with their fees and their attendance to the poor. At Home medical men set apart a day of .the week to give free advice. Dr Russell seems to forgot that past- Governments are responsible for landing thousands of immigrants hero without making provision in the shape of land settlement, &c. I think, if the Doctor advised marriage only to be entered into by those free from disease and those of vigorous mind and body, so that the progeny would be free from immoral taint or any tendency to physical or mental weakness, he would not be far wrong. Let us all remove the liquor agent, that demoralises so many.—l am, &c„ * JUSTICE.
