We have dispen saries, hospitals, noble institutions of all kinds, for the relief of human ills. Every thoughtful citizen appreciates ths value of these establishments tor the amelioration of suffering. But they do not cover the whole ground; Indeed, It Is Impossible, In the nature of things, that the amount of good they do should be at all In proportion to the popular need. They are confined principally to large "cities.
