» Journal of the Workhouse Visiting- Society . January , 1861 .
The leading paper of this number is on " Destitute Incurables in Workhouses , " by Miss Elliott and Miss Cobbe , and was read at
the Social Science Meeting at-Glasgow , September , 1860 . The plan 1 . proposed That in for the workhouse alleviation persons of such cases suffering is— from acute and
distressing diseases every , such as dropsy , consumption , or cancer , shall be placed in wards specially allotted to them , to be called the wards
for male and female incurables . 2 . That in these particular wards private charity be permitted
to introduce whatever may tend to alleviate the sufferings of the inmates .
A fund has been opened for the assistance of visitors in Unions where this plan may be adopted , and the local subscriptions may
prove inadequate . To this Central Fund for Destitute Incurables one gentleman has offered £ 100 , and others have promised further contributions .

system and illustrate a fact by means of a story . Co-operation is , as the title indicates , the system here advocated , and its beneficial
results are shown in the successful working of a co-operative store , or equitable shop , conducted by Christopher Cable and his wife ,
under the superintendence of a benevolent lady . Much good maybe effected in our country towns and villages by ladies devoting
their leisure time to the instruction of the' labouring classes in the
