AGED AND INFIRM.
DOSING WITH EXPENSIVE MEDICINE,
CONDEMNED BY GERMAN ■BURGOMASTER.
(Received Friday, 7 p.m.) BERLIN, August 24.
Announcing that in the interests of economy, municipal institutions for the aged and infirm can no longer be officially supported, but must be maintained voluntarily, the Burgomaster of Maretzko made an astonishing statement at the Press Conference. He was unable to take the responsibility for spending millions to prolong the lives of the incurably sick and insane. He added that humane care should bo taken of those unfortunates but an end fiiUst be put to dosing them with expensive medicines which, after all, only prolonged their sufferings.
