tice began to make perfect; so that during the latter part of the season the tent looked down upon fully as many victories as defeats. This year great things are anticipated; and the boys have long ago commenced early morning practices. Their mothers don't mind getting up early to waken them, for they will tell you, 'My Will,' or 'My George, is ever so much better and stronger than he used to be, and I believe it's a great deal along of the exercise; and then it's such a comfort to know just where he is.' "Thus our Club is started; and though we have much to feel thankful and happy about, we cannot help being a little anxious about the future. None but those living in a very poor parish know what a terrible and real trouble the want of money is." Extract from an Article by Dr. Andrew WILSON, F.R.S.E., in "Health," August 8th, 1884, on the "STOTT" Gas Governor. THOSE who are annoyed by the flaring of gas-jets and by the screaming of flames under the varying conditions of pressure, will be pleased to learn that an effectual remedy has been found, for what can only be called a social nuisance. In addition to the defect of bad light, the nuisance of screaming flames, and the additional sum paid really for light which has not served its true purpose, it need hardly be remarked that the health aspects of this gas question are likewise of a highly important kind. The half-consumed gas vapours, allowed to escape into an ordinary room, in which the ventilation is not of the most complete character, render the atmosphere extremely unhealthy and dangerous. In Stott's "Gas Governor," however, the public have at last an opportunity of fully commanding their gas supply. The apparatus, which is readily fixed at the gas-meters of the house by a gas-fitter, perfectly controls the gas supply coming through the meter. Over-pressure is absolutely prevented, and gas-waste is thus rendered an impossibility. When gas is imperfectly consumed it gives off certain products as the result of imperfect combustion, that are not only injurious to the health, but very destructive to books, pictures, &c. In the publishing offices of Health these useful machines have long been appreciated. Many Government buildings, hospitals, hotels, clubs, &c., are now fitted with the "Governor;" and we should strongly recommend every householder desirous of saving in his gas-bills, of finding clearer illumination, and of keeping a pure atmosphere in his rooms, to visit MESSRS.
