INEBRIATES’ HOME.
TO THE EDITOR Sir, —I am very grateful to Dr Symes for his letter in your to-days paper, on Inebriate- Homes, and I am sure thousands will be equally so. Dr Syraes’s strong and positive . opinion, expressed so fully with regard to the necessity that exists for the homes must he helpful, I feel sure, in urging our Government to establish them at once. It is evident that it is most illadvised to send cases to the hospital, and we are all of ps by this time aware how futile imprisonment is to effect any real good. There are many reasons besides those that are most obvious why the determined drunkard should not be at large, and supposing any case where apparently a cure had been effected, broke down, recommittal would practically segregate these sadly diseased persons, whose presence in tire community is detrimental to its wellbeing.—l am, etc., LOUISA BLAKE.
