England stands in the unenviable
position of being almost the only
nation that has a drunken woman
hood. It was in order to meet this
great evil that the farm colony at
Duxhurst was started, nearly eight
years ago. It consists of u village,
built on the slopes of the hills of
Surrey. Far up the roud in te
manor house, which has been open
ed as a sanitarium for ladies. The
most important feature of the
scheme is the arrangement for the
recognition of the individual among
the? patients. , Each little cottnge
contains frpm .seven Jo ten inhabi
tantsand a 'nurse sister who su
perintends the small family. The
cottaeett are simply furnished with

The women are the wives of ar
tisans who earn small wages; wo
men who perhaps have not been
taken before a magistrate',' bnt
whose homes are desolate enough
through drink; servants .who have
lost their characters 'and conse
quently their situation; young wo
men who, on account of hard work
and late hours in shops and other
places ot business, have begun to
drink, and are ruining their lives
at the outset.
All these come to us voluntarily,
stay a year, and put themselves of
their own free will under restraint;
and the letters we get from hus
ba nils and brothers, fathers, moth
ers and sisters are heartrending.
In one year we refused 3,000 cases.
and since we opened we have been
oblicfd to deny over 10,000 women
admittance for want of room. It
is, however, cheering to" know that
our medical man gives it as ins ex
perience that 05 per cent of our
cases are standing well to-day.
