When the diversion of the present election is over Canada certainly has a gigantic task before it as one of the peoples of the earth fighting to make sure the right to live upon this globe in some measure of security and decency. The fact that the issue is just as much the concern of the nations that are evading it as of those who are risking all is beside the point. The work has to be done and if there are shirkers that simply means that the workers have the greater task. The issue is now plainly indicated. It is between the ide? of the triumph of freedom, decency, law and order, and the giving over of the world to gangsterism and ruthless aggression. If the world is not toi revert to the methods and manners of the dark ages, the gangsters must be caught and punished and reparation made so far as possible, That is in itself a large but it can be done, must be done. It will need patience and determination and courage, but there is no escape from this laâ€" The Orillia Packet last week probably summed up the situation as concisely as it is possible to do when it stated that the only good thing about the present Dominion election is that it will soon be over. There is considerable bitter resentment felt by the thoughtful public over the fact that while there is so much important, vital work to be done in the world toâ€"day time and strength and temper should be frittered away on an elecâ€" tionâ€"and especially the sort of an election that is in progress at the present time. The average man. noting the work that must be done in the world toâ€"day to make life worth while on this earth, or even to assure any sort of life at all, feels that it requires the united effort of all classes and diviâ€" sions in Canada, in the Empire, in the Allied naâ€" tions, yes in the whole civilized world, to assure any sort of speedy victory. There is a disposition on the part of some earnest people to feel conâ€" tempt for those who appear to be wasting time in political partyism and personal bickerings at this time. It would not be well, however to be too sweeping in condemnation of those who appear to have lost sight for the moment of the supreme issue of the day. The situation of the present is so serious, so burdensome, so appalling, that some measure of diversion, some comic relief is not altoâ€" gether valueless. A touch of the ridiculous here and there may be used to good purpose. It may ease the load. If the thought is generally acceptâ€" ed that the election will be disposed of and then all attention centred on the main issue of life on the globe toâ€"day, no particular harm will have been done ‘by some of the nonsense of the preâ€" sent days. it is an idiotic form of reward to give a public man for honest, earnest and able service. Even reéstricâ€" ting the record to the "clock" form of public serâ€" vice, it has to be admitted that Mr. Bradette has secured more in the way of public works in this riding than any two other members in the history of the riding. Post offices at Timmins, Cochrane, Kapuskasing and South Porcupine have all passed through the appropriations through Mr. Bradette‘s efforts. Mr. Bradette has helped to secure from _the Dominion several road appropriations for this district, including money to assist in the building of the Transcontinental highway, which is no more to his own home than it is to the home of any other resident of his riding. Any special road to Mr. Bradette‘s home had to be built at his own expense. It was not Mr. Bradette that broke up the strike of lumber workers; it was the agitators who stabbed them in the back. In fairness to Mr. Bradette and in fairness to any hope of service to the people, good service in looking after every need of the people should be gladly acknowledged. The marked item‘s alleged Conservative record is equally false. There were no "slave camps" estabâ€" lished in Canada, but the only concerted action to really attempt to look after the single unemployed was sabotaged by the Reas and the Pinks. The other "accomplishments" charged to the Conserâ€" vative record were in fact no more than honest effort to protect law and order from the inroads of alien isms and disaffection. In every election there is a certain amount of nonsense and worse that at ordinary times is passâ€" ed over lightly as simply to be expected. The preâ€" sent days are so serious, however, that many view the old political tricks with impatience and resentâ€" ment. This will be the attitude towards a piece of propaganda that has been marked and sent to The Advance. The marked item credits Jos. A. Bradette, member for this riding since 1926, with only accomplishing four things during his term of office. He is credited in the item only with securing a clock that won‘t keep time for Cochâ€" rane, a road to his own home, breaking up a lumâ€" ber workers‘ strike, and getting nothing for the people but election promises. To make such a claim is not only to spit in the face of truth, but TIMMIXS, ONTARJIO Members Canadian Weekiy Newspaper Assoclation: Ontarioâ€" m Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly CGroup TWO PHONFSâ€"26 anda 2020 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO.

SW t ... comman e OOA in im s ie s ue ts e success of the work, however, resulted in trouble. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a letter making reply to the attitude of the Commission investigating alleged cancer remedies, in so far as the case of Miss Caisse, of Bracebridge, is conâ€" cerned. There are many in Timmins and district who are specially interested in the case of Miss Caisse. At first this interest was simply the naâ€" tural desire for fair play and a fair deal. Years ago The Advance made reference to the matter because it appeared that there was injustice and unfairness in the attitude adopted towards Miss Caisse. It may be well to review the case. Mis.31 Rene Caisse was a trained nurse who happened to have the care of several cancer patients one after another. Her heart was touched by the eviâ€" dent suffering of these patients and the apparent inability of medical and surgical skill to help them. She made special study of cancer and had the advantage not only of special training but also the presence of patients suffering from the disease. She found ways and means of relieving their pains and eventually discovered a treatment thatâ€"to put it very mildlyâ€"relieved their sufferâ€" ings and made decided improvement in their conâ€" dition. The patients did not put the matter mildly. Instead they called out boldly that they were cured, and insisted upon getting up from bed and going back to work and living along despite the former predictions of doctors to the contrary. Miss Caisse established a hospital at Bracebridge for the treatment of cancer cases and soon was one of the busiest women north of Toronto. There were many doctors who quietly sent hopeless cases to Miss Caisse, and in most cases the patients apâ€" peared to fully recover. A Timmins doctor was deputed to enquire into the case of Miss Caisse,] and his report was favourable. In most cases the| patients sent to Miss Caisse were in the most| serious stages of the disease. There seemed in! some cases, indeed a tendency to send cases to Miss Caisse with the idea that they were so far gone that nothing could be done and so reflection might|: result upon the treatment. Patients were carried into Miss Caisse‘s hospital but later walked out on their own power to bless the success of her| treatment. Miss Caisse seemed to take in as : many patients as she could accommodate. If they ! , ABll uons mm ns on omm mc s Fras _ s Few! B (CH could pay, they were treated, and if they couldn‘t pay, they did not seem to be turned away. The Demand was made upon Miss Caisse to give her formula to the medical profession "in the interests of suffering humanity" if it were genuine, and "for the public protection" if it should be otherâ€" wise. Later a Commission was appointed by the province of Ontario to study and report on the reputed remedies for cancer. Miss Caisse was asked to submit her formula, but refused. She willingly agreed, however, to submit evidence of the improvement made in scores of patients treated. Medical certificates were produced to show that a patient was suffering at a certain date from cancer, and then the patient was produced for medical examination to prove that cancer no longer existed. Scores of patients volunteered their evidence. Insistence was made that Miss Caisse disclose her formula. Her refusal to do so was apparently based on the belief that if she did so, the finding would be that it was valueless, and then later on the medical profession would discover a treatment for cancer that would be very much like hers. In this way she would lose‘ us t3 ts [A _ pork pouk the credit for all her work and effort and her paâ€" tients would not be benefitted. The report of the Commission on Cancer seems to justify the fear that appeared to be in Miss Caisse‘s mind. Alâ€" a C d 8 a though Miss Caisse‘s treatment was the only one| C bour. It is not too much to say that the adjustâ€" ment after the victory will be vitali as the viectory | itself. â€" Unless that adjustment is complete, the victory will be a sham. Czechoslovakia must be restored, Poland must be fully reâ€"established, and | Finland must not only have its stolen territory given back, but there must be added land to Finâ€" land to make its defence less arduous on any fuâ€" ture occasion. Indeed in the case of both Poland and Finland material additions of territory from the gangster nations are essential so that geoâ€" graphical conditions may be used to defend these lands from the aggressors. It would appear that not only will it be necessary to extend the boun~â€" daries of Poland and Finland so that natural deâ€" fences may be utilized for the future protection of the nations, but there will also need to be transportation of sections of population to the countries of which they appear overlyâ€"fond. The Germans in Czechoslovakia, for instance were resâ€" ponsible in cansiderable measure for the rapine _of that land. In the future that sort of weakenâ€" ing of states may be avoided by transplanting elements that cannot be assimilated to lands to which they are willing to be loyal. Those who may have a sentimental horror of tearing people| from their home lands should note the sad specâ€" tacle toâ€"day of hundreds of thousands of Finnish people trekking from their homes to seek new places in the country that they love. It will be neccessary to reâ€"establish these good people after the war. It is true that Britain had no treaty of guarantee with Finland, but there will be no seâ€"| curity, no decency, until every civilized nation| recognizises that it must give guarantees to law| and order and the right. The task before the| civilized world toâ€"day is a stupendous one. But|, it may be doneâ€"must be done. If the decent naâ€"|â€" tions will not compel the necessary adjustments, f the gangsters will. ; THE CASE OF MISS CAISSE as a hopeless case. After treatment at Miss Caisse‘s hospital I was able to go home again and In the interests of fair play, it would appear to be necessary to say that Miss Caisse has someâ€" thing. She is able to inspire patients with hope., Her treatment is of decided value in cases of serious illness where patients appear to be sufferâ€" ing terribly and near to death, and the doctors are not able to help them. Recently a Timmins lady called at The Advance office. "I would like a copy of that last editorial you wrote about Miss Caisse., I want to show it to Miss Caisse. Sh» deserves the encouragement it will be. I was given up by the doctorsâ€"â€"no hope. I was in bed THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, THMYMITNS, ONTARIO Commission is of the opinion that the evidence adduced does not justify any favourable concluâ€" sion as to the merits of Essiac as a remedy for cancer, and would so report." This finding seemed to be altogether out of line with the evidence. Scores of patients told of cures that seemed to be genuine and supported by the certificates of indiâ€" vidual doctors. The Commission‘s reply to these cases was simply to suggest that the diagnosis of cancer was wrong in the first place. To the lay mind that seems less important than it does to the medical attitude. The big fact seems to be that Miss Caisse was able to cure cases diagnosed as cancerâ€"cases where the patient was sure it was cancerâ€"cases that the doctors could not benefit. Miss Caisse‘s letter takes up individual cases and extends on the attitude of the Commission. A spastic colon is ons where conâ€" vulsive muscular contraction occurs, the bowel becomes narrowed, usually caused by haemeroids or by a growth in the bowel. The muscular contra>â€" tion is bound to be followed by a relaxâ€" ation, otherwise you would have a parâ€" alized condition of the organ, but if a growth is there, when relaxation ocâ€" curs as it always does at intervals, then you are bound to have haemorâ€" rhages as the blood rushes to that part as soon as the tension is released and this is what happened to Mr. Hanon, and he received no relief. that the Commission credited with material beneâ€" fit to patients, the Commission reported:â€""The Xâ€"rays which were made of his pastroâ€" intestinal tract he was thought to have a spastic colon only. Nothing abnorâ€" mal was found in the sigmoidoscopic examination which I personally made. We found no evidence whatever of cancer in this man." The Commission in their report state that they accepted evidence to the etâ€" fect that the diagnosis of cancer had been made by Xâ€"ray. Then alons comes a signed statement from Dr. Wilâ€" son that a careful examination was made to determine the presence of cancer at St. Michael‘s hospital on July 1935. I quote: "From a study of the cured. No pain, in splendid physicavl condition, and is working hard on his farm. On December 12th, 1937, after taking several treatments from me, he reportâ€" ed to Dr. Malkin and he states that the Doctor was very much surprised that the haemorrhages had stopped. â€" His health had steadily improved under regular treatment and he reported to the Commission that he was entirely he was haemorrhaging badly at that time, in terrible pain and could not rest. His brother had developed canâ€" cer about the same time he did; went to Toronto and had radium treatments and an operation. He consulted Dr. Maklin and states that the Doctor had told him that nothing could be done for him and expressed the hope that I help him when he said he was coming to me. there any justification in their opinion that this case does not justify any favâ€" Jurable conclusion as to the merits of "Essiac‘"? I can see none but you can Jjudge for ycurself as" to the reasons which backed their opinion. Here is a case of Peter Hanon age 67. He had been suffering with pains in the abdomen on and off for over ten years. About three years ago he had a bad haemorrhage, and went to ‘ a Party Sound doctor, who examined Ehim. He was haemorrhaging badly at that time and it could not be stopped. The Doctor took Xâ€"ray plates and sent him to St. Michael‘s hospital where Dr. Wilson gave him an examination and took a further series of Xâ€"ray plates. Mr. Hanon further states that they told him that they could do nothing for him as he was in such a c:ondit;i':mi that he could not undergo an operaâ€" tion. They sent him home and told his‘ daughter, who is a trained nurse, to put | him in a hospital. He could not work.J He had no money to go to a hospital, so he came to me and received hJsfirst treatment on September 7th, 1937, and (Miss Rene M.

But no. As the expression goes "It was as plain as the nose on your face." The physical evidence was there and could not be refuted Ts After the fourth treatment the stinging stopped. After the eighth treatment the blackness began to disâ€" appear from his nose and mouth. When he appeared before the full Comâ€" mission to give evidence the discoloraâ€" tion had gone, the sore healed, both inside and outside the nostril, and his mouth and nose had a perfectly healthy appearance.

Harry Nixon was the only member of the Hepburn cabinet prominent at the welcome to Premier King at his Toronto meeting last week. Hon. Mr. Nixon is certainly basking in the limeâ€" light these days all around. There are said to be 25,000 Canadian soldiers overseas who will vote in the present Dominion election. They have been duly informed of the names of the candidates for whom they may cast their votes, but it is said that no effort is being made to inform them of the party or policy of the candidates. Apparently they are expected to judge by the names as to the virtues of the canâ€" didates. Voters here who know the candidates and hear their platforms announced are confused. Perhaps, the soldiers overseas, unacquainted with these things, will be able to make easy decision.
