A Bad Practice

M.

We think our readers will heartily endorse the following, which appeared in a recent issue of The Christian Register:—

"Is anything gained by giving to the world daily bulletins concerning great men who are dying? Details which would not be mentioned even among friends are now published and sent by telegraph throughout the world. Certainly the general health is not improved by these grewsome details, and the effect upon the mind is not wholesome."

The extent to which the details of the sick-room and the sufferings of the patient are chronicled in such cases is beyond the bounds of good taste, and there seems to be no excuse for thus invading the privacy of the home.
