FARMER" "YES-SIR JAMES" What has happened to the promises Hepburn made to the farmers of Ontario before he was elected? Hepburn Promised the Farmers: A special session of the legislature to deal with farm relief problems immediately after the election. What Hepburn Did: Nothing! He said: "The farmers must stand on their own feet." Hepburn Promised the Farmers: Help in improving livestock, grants to help agriculture. What Hepburn Did: He wiped out the Farm Loan Board--stopped bonuses for pure bred sires and grants to junior judging competitions -- cut off $300,000 in grants made by the previous government to aid the farmer. Hepburn Promised the Farmers: Wider markets and better marketing facilities. What Hepburn Did: He closed the marketing agencies at Montreal, Winnipeg and in the Maritimes--closed Ontario House in London, England, which had created markets thereby increasing Ontario farmers' annual income by $10,000,000. Hepburn Promised the Farmers: A string of cold storage warehouses across Ontario, for the benefit of the farmer. What Hepburn Did: ' Nothing! Hepbnrn Promised the Farmers i Reduced taxation. What Hepburn Did: He collected in taxation 80% more than was collected in the last year of the Conservative Government, of which the farmers paid their share. What is Sauce for the Goose ... Is Sauce for the Gander BUT--while Mr. Hepburn was saying to the farmer "you must stand on your own feet" and was cutting off $300,000 in agricultural bonuses, he was passing on a bonus to Sir James Dunn of the Algoma Steel Corporation of almost a like amount of the taxpayers' money. Agriculture and industry are both vitally necessary to the prosperity and welfare of the Canadian people. The farmer says, however, that "what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander -- why take away our bonus to bonus Sir James Dunn?"

To this meeting were invited representatives from all departments of medicine interested in this subject. At the conclusion of the conference, during which time all of the pertinent facts of the present situation were presented and discussed, it was felt that, in fairness to the public, an official statement should be made to set forth the facts exactly as they exist. To this end, a committee was appointed to prepare and issue an official statement, which follows: 55 Poliomyelitis ("Infantile Paralysis") is a communicable disease. It is definitely known that it is caused by the entrance into the body of a minute form of life known as a virus. It is known also that this vhms enters commonly through the upper part of the nasal tract. There is no evidence that the disease is conveyed by fliesior domestic-animals. When an outbreak of the disease occurs, healthy persons as well as those ill with the disease are found to harbour the virus in the secretions of the nose and throat. The disease is, therefore, spread through the contact of persons one with another. Usually the virus occasions only a mild illness but sometimes the virus enters the central nervous system, which may rciult in paralysis. The majority of adults are not susceptible to the disease. Present Situation While the number of cases reported in Toronto is greater than in any previous outbreak of this disease, and there is no reason to presume that the incidence rate is likely to decline within the next two or three weeks, it must be borne in mind that not 25% °f these cases show any evidence whatever of paralysis. Furthermore, among those developing paralysis, the majority eventually will recover complete use of their paralysed limbs. It would appear, therefore, that while there is every reason for the public to view the present situation with concern, there is no justification for undue alarm or hysterical behaviour. According to figures computed by the Department of Health, Ontario, to date, there are estimated to be 750 cases in Ontario, of which 285 have occurred in the City of Toronto. Of this number, 212 cases have been admitted to the Riverdale Isolation Hospital, only 54 of whom developed some degree of paralysis. There were 11 deaths in this group. Statistics of a similar nature apply to the Hospital for Sick Children, which has received its cases not only from Toronto but from other parts of the province. Control Measures These include the strict isolation of all persons ill with the. disease and the quarantine of those who have been in immediate contact. In as much as it is not known who are or are i of this disease, it is advisable to reduce to a minimum, c with other people. In other words, keep out of crowds. As children are particularly susceptible, it is most important that they be kept as far as possible from mingling with other persons. ~?OrxrfP/e^sTjn7The~Opening of the schools of Toronto has been deferred and the Department of Health of the Province of Ontario has recommended to parents that they see to it that their children avoid attendance at theatres, playgrounds, bathing pools and beaches and other places or amusement where children congregate. The Academy agrees with the provincial and municipal health authorities that the responsibility for the control or the activities of children is primarily the duty of the parents. The Department of Health of Ontario has completed within its own organization plans whereby serum for the treatment of this disease is available in any part of the province upon the request of the attending physician. Nasal Spray Experimental work with animals indicates that Poliomyelitis can be prevented by spraying the extreme upper part of the inside of the nose with a harmless solution of zinc sulphate. This was discovered during the past year. To date, its value in the prevention of Poliomyelitis in humans is not known. To be in any degree effective, the spray must be applied high up inside the nose. This can only be done with a specially constructed atomizer and by a physician thoroughly familiar with this type of work. The application of this or any other spray by an ordinary atomizer or to the lower part of the nose is quite useless. The possible value of the nasal spray properly administered is being determined at the present time in Toronto. The Council of the Academy of Medicine of Toronto endorses the attitude adopted by the provincial Department of Health and the local Board of Health in respect to measures designed to control the present situation. We would respectfully suggest that the general public will best serve its own interests by endeavoring to follow the advice which is being given by these health authorities.
