SHEET IRON WALTER PHILLIPS.February 6.\t31 able to tire society in which we live, and rnea sures remedial, which are applicable merely to individuals who are attacked by disease'\u2014 as because in this country we have no considerable class of men acquainted with the natural sciences, especially with chemistry, except those who have been trained to the practice of medicine and surgery as the business of their lives.We have to go among the doctors, because no where else can we find what wre want.Yet it by no means follows that the best family doctor, or the best Hospital Surgeon, shall be the best guardian of the sanitary condition of the city.There are many qualities\u2014some manual, some intellectual, some moral, which are required for successful altendance on the sick, or fortunate operations on the disabled, but which Irave no place among those most requisite for a health oin-cer ; and there are characteristics absolutely demanded in the health officer which would rarely come into play in the ordinary practice of a medical man.A perfect knowledge of chemistry and some idea of hydrostatics and mechanics, seem to be tire leading scientific acquirements likely to be in demand from a health officer, to which he should add, however, a sound and extensive, knowledge of the' most modern and perfect modes of manufacturing.The first kind of knowledge is requisite in order that he should be able to detect and appreciate the various sources of danger to the public health from the vitiation of air or water, or provisions, arising either from natural or artificial causes ; and that he should be able to suggest remedies adapted to the circumstances.The other kind of knowledge will be demanded with greater and greater frequency every year, because there are many of the processes used rn the arts which are exceedingly deleterious and dangerous, but which may be made both innocuous and safe.The handling, compounding, or even storing of explosive and highly combusti compounds ought to be regulated by law, and yet so regulated as not needlessly to drive from tire city those who practice the trades in which those things are required.The same thing is true of manufactures, from which there is any offensive residuum, liquid or solid, which must be got nd of, and in the case of liquids is often got rid of through drains, which at their outlet communicate with rivers and poison, first the \"water, and then the air.There are other processes in which very offensive materials are used, and which in the course of manufac lacture throw off an offensive and dan.gerous vapour or smoke, and thus endanger health, and even when they do not do so, lower the value of property all round them.In all these cases tire health officer should not only know what is wrong; but how to set the wrong right\u2014he should be able to say on the one hand, that there is no known method by which the process can be carried on without annoyance or danger to the neighbourhood, and it must, therefore, not be allowed to be employed at all in the centre of a population; or on the other hand, that this manufacture, as usually conducted, will be a nuisance, but by adopting certain improvements, may be rendered equally inoffensive and Iiann-YYIrat Ynaylie'\"niffi'e\u201d in that way Î7T shown by the example of the Cit}- of London.Some years ago, tire readers of the debates in the British Parliament constantly fell upon motions of one sort or another, made by Mr.McKinnon, for the abatement of wbat was called the Smoke Nuisance.The abatement of this nuisance he made his speciality\u2014his mission, and after years of motions, session after session, he succeeeded both in directing public attention to the subject and in obtaining legislation upon it.The consequence is that in London most of the large consumers of coal for steam engines, by a very simple method burn the smoke which their chimmes formerly discharged into the air, and this with such effect, that in the beautiful and historic Temple Gardens, albeit the air there is still poisoned by exhalations from the Thames, corrupted by the sewerage of three millions of people, all the ordinary flowers after a long banishment are made to grow- and blossom freely.In another part of London certain Varnish Manufactories used to poison tire atmosphere through a very wide space.The health officer, however, by his exhortations and instructions, has succeeded in prevailing upon tire proprietors to adopt a better mode of manufacture, and now, even when the manufacture is in full operation, the passenger may go by and know nothing of what is being done within.\"VYe make these remarks in order to illustrate the kind of special knowledge which ought to be sought for in a health officer, and to distinguish it from that which we usually desire in a medical man, though it is only in some medical man that it will be found.There are other qualifications which are less purely of a professional character.We hope that the gentleman selected will be young enough to permit us to hope that he will have all his \u201c ried on from Canada to the United States.\u2014 \u201c I/e thought, and his colleagues too thought, that \u201c Canada ought to perform the part of a f riendly \u201c neighboring-country ; that it should.as far as pos-\u201c sible, prevent their revenue being subjected to u fraud.There was only one way in which it \u2018\u2018 could be effectually prevented, the selection of \u201c certain articles on which the ditties should be so J nearly assimilated as to prevent an inducement to \u201c illicit trade.The Americans had now a com-\u201c mission sitting to revise their revenue law, \u201c which commission was invited by the Detroit \u201c Conventionjtoconferwith the Finance Minis-\u201c ters of the British Provinces.Any suggestion \u201c that might be made them would ho consider-11 ed in the most friendly spirit \u201d The speaker had Mr, Brown sitting by his side and listening while he pronounced these opinions\u2014laid them down, not as his, but as those of his colleagues\u2014those, therefore, of Mr.Brown himself; yet the then President of the Council did not utter one word in reprobation of this statement of views or in denial of his participation in them.Bar -there is another point upon which the Globe has lately been extremely violent in its opposition.The idea of enlarging our canals for the sake of American commerce, that journal has recently treated as a monstrous piece of folly, and almost of treason\u2014for treason is now-a-days, whatever, views on politics fail to square with those which the speaker or writer entertains for the present quarter of an hour ; and Mr.Brown, having got into the nest of the supreme loyalists, fisj apparently playing cuckoo and seeking by the strength of sentiment to elbow out those who have considered themselves as the legitimate possessors of the title and the premises.Yet Mr.Galt, speaking again for himself and his colleagues, distinctly laid down the proposition that if we could hope to secure the American trade on the old basis we ought to enlarge our Canals so as to suit that commerce.Mr.Brown, far \"from objecting, acquiesced in every thing that his colleague then said, and he certainly seems to be foreclosed by that course from objecting when this policy came to he p>ut in practice.The truth is that the whole party for whom the Finance Minister spoke were committed by their assent to his doctrines, and, to do them justice, most of them,like the Hamilton Spectator,stick bravely to their colours, and approve of what tire Ministry tried to do, just as they would have done if success had crowned the negotiations.There are only a few sneaks who knowing well that they would have applauded him if he had succeeded, now throw censure upon him by professing to rejoice in his failure.smsiyroisn PARTIES in want of HALL STOVES would
