Modern Cooks Reach For Parsley To Prepare Appetizing Concoctions â€"Phat Roman roving reporter, Caius Plinius Secundus, in the 1st Century A.D. heard akk saw all, tusted all and wrote his observaâ€" in his 37â€"volume ‘Natural Mistory." Among many . other things he got around to parsley. This, he declared, could "give a ESE IP tal foods." ‘ty ® ~In parsley‘s long reco In parsley‘s long record of comâ€" pliments there are these loving comments by gastronomers who are etherwise . forgotten. . "Parsley makes. food more healthful, more agreeable," wrote one. "It stimuâ€" lates the appetite and helps digesâ€" tion." Then another very opinionâ€" ated Frenchman stated, "Take parsâ€" ley away from the cook and you leave him in a situation where it is next to impossible for him to pracâ€" tice his art." A more recent lover of fine flaâ€" vors observed about pork cookery, "With the onion and that priceless herb parsley, which stimulates the appetite, facilitates digestion, and renders nearly all sauces more atâ€" tractive, he (the pig) forms one of the most indispensable adjuncts of alimentation. Deprived of his lardâ€" ship, the onion tribe, and parsley, cookery would soon decline if inâ€" deed the skilled practitioner would not find it wellâ€"nigh impossible for him to practice his art." Then ‘there are the unprinted words of so many modern cooks who say to themselves, "This conâ€" eoction needs parsley?" and then reach for their container of bright green, . super â€" convenient . parsley flakes. As spice history goes, deâ€" hydrated parsley is a Johnnyâ€"comeâ€" lately. The parsley dehydrating process wasn‘t perfected until right after World War 11. But, this everâ€" available form of parsley has been so popular that more and more and bigger and bigger containers of flakes are being sold. You can use parsley flakes in scads of good dishesâ€"in mashed or scalloped potatoes; scrambled eggs; butters and sauces for meats and fif);mffings of all kinds; vegeâ€" tables such as carrots, peas and sumemer | squash. | Parsley flakes 160 Lakeshore Rd.

But having said all this, I would like to ask why doctors are so reluctant to visit patients in their homes today. I want to know why doctors are reluctant to pass on patients‘ caseâ€"histories, when requested to do so by llihundrqoet-ddodm; most people feel the same way. Today‘s competent doctor probably has three times as much medical knowledge as old Doc in the horse carriage, who wiped his hands on his handkerchief before examining a patient and took his fees in chickens and vegetables when times were hard. And it‘s ‘u:u,he: to hlus in cce s cesA c nc ts con> s tds s > BP canaichs ul Wais es Te 3t be a doctor today ; the great leaps in technical data have to be kept up with, the public is more healthâ€"conscious and there is more tendency to question what was once regarded as the doctor‘s semiâ€"divine pronouncements. All this makes for an interesting but tough workingâ€"life and, of course, only a doctor knows the anguish and frustraâ€" tion of losing his running battle with death or ‘having to tell parents that there is no hope for their child. a patient who is changing doctors. Somewhere in the old records of a family‘s medical history, there may be the clue to new symptoms. And, finally, I want to know why many doctors refuse to respond to an emergency call out of office hours. Just recently an acquaintance of mine died of a brain haemorrhage; John came home on a Tuesday evening about 10 p.m., complained of feelâ€" ing tired but was apparently otherwise normal and went to bed. His wife heard him making odd noises a few minutes later and discovered he was semiâ€"conscious and having difficulty in breathing. She called in a neighbour and phoned for a local doctor immediately. Two doctors refused to come and by the time the third one got there, John was cyanotic and dead for all practical purâ€" poses. Probably he couldn‘t have been saved anyway, even if the first doctor had come at once (on the other hand. he might have been saved), but that‘s not the point â€" it is a doctor‘s duty to respond to any emergency call on his skill I am sure that most doctors have a mental blacklist of patients who are always calling them out of office hours for no real reason, but John and his family weren‘t this type. Surely a doctor acquires an instinct which tells him when an unknown caller is desperate and in real need? And if he cannot trust his instincts, then it is his job to drag himself out of bed or away from the party and at least see the patient. But there is a frightening tendency on the part of many doctors to diagnose by remote control, if possible, and failing that, to get the patient to come into the office. Lakeshore B&EPW Hear On Brief Presented To The Lakeshore Business and Proâ€" fessional Women‘s Club held its monthly meeting at the Pickfair Restaurant on Monday, March 21, with Mrs. Dorothy Brown in the chair. and at head table Miss Janette Johnson, Mrs. Anne L‘Heureux, Naâ€" tional Publicity and Public Relations Chairman; Miss Anne Gerrie, Memâ€" bership Chairman and Employment flOmillI(lOllS committee . was appointed; Miss Lillian Clayton, MrA Muriel Dawson, Miss Noreen Proue, Mrs. Barbara Jamieson and Miss Edith Teskey. Mrs. Anne L‘Heureux gave an account of the delegation which presented a brief Conditions Norah Herd One nice Sunday afternoon about three years ago, I found myself haemorrhaging excessively and conâ€" tinuously; I was three months‘ pregnant so realized that I was miscarrying. I was alone in the house and I phoned the doctor who had attended us for years and told the partner on duty what was happening. He was brusque and disinterested and after I‘d stopped, he asked abruptly, "Well, do you want me to come?" Now I‘m a fairly tough old bird, in good health, but any doctor knows that a miscarriage has a psychological effect too, apart from the physical and he knows he should at least check on a woman who is in the process of losing an embryo. But he obviously didn‘t want to come so he tossed the ball into my court â€"‘and being an independent type, I said I thought I could manage, though I could have done with some reassurance. "Okay." he said, "Come and see me in six weeks‘ time and I‘ll give you a check up." And that‘s how it was. As it turned out, I was fine and no harm was done, but he was taking a chance, when he needn‘t have done. 1 must add that I think my own doctor, who, had been with me for two previous births, would have come if he‘d been on duty. â€" S Two weeks‘ ago, when Joni had her mild concussion (I‘ve told the horrendous tale in a previous column) and appeared worse the morning after her fall, I phoned the doctor at 8:30 a.m. (a different doctor, necessitated by our move to Aurora), to ask him to come to see her. He‘s a man I admire and like‘and regard as a compasâ€" sionate person, and it was disappointipg to hear him ask me to bring her to the surgery. It could have been unwise to move her, with a head injury of then unknown extent. Last summer, this doctor‘s younger colleague asked me to bring Julie ‘into the office, when I phoned to report that she had measles. On this occasion, I stuck my toes in and refused, pointing out that she had a high temperature and was quite sick, so he made a house call later in the day. I agree that our personal beefs with doctors have been minor ones, and we try to remember that doctors are human and we try not to make unreasonable demands. But we‘ve beeyU('k)' â€" John‘s family wasn‘t. These are‘isolated instances. but nearly everyone | know has experienced a doctor‘s reluctance to visit a patient. and if you get enough of apparently isolated incidents. it becomes obvious that this is a trend in modern medicine. I suppose they hope to. save time this was and that most doctors are overworked (though certainly not underpaid), but medicine cannot be pracâ€" tised successfully on an. assemblyâ€"line basis. It can‘t be hurried and it is part of a doctor‘s job, if he‘s going to do it properly, to take time to get to know his patients. Often his knowledge of them as individuals can help him to make a better diagnosis in a difficult case. It‘s not enough to have the latest equipment or to know three new ways to peel eyeballs â€" a good doctor has to care for people. Many of them do, of course. It isn‘t enough just to care about his own patients who are old friends and pay their bills regularly â€" a doctor‘s compasâ€" sion should reach out to anyone in need of his skill.
