A. Sykes, Rev. Dr. Mackie, and E. J. 1. Pense, M. PLP. Lieut.-Col. Taylor, ' Drs, Ethetington and Knight Thd "mayor, on risine, ¢ rent pleasure at taking the chair. Judge Barron was a layman, not a scientist, und as a physician, it also gave him much pleasure to co-operate with the clerpy and laity in the fight avainst this terrible disease, a disease that escaped few families rich or poor, and wd intreasing at a greater ratio than the population. He trust- wl the government would be compelled to avmist indealing with it. Judge Barron, then being introduced dy: comypenced hig lecture + a homily on unselfishness. Many people, todayy he said, were too apt to he wrapt up in themselves, and their troubles. If we would onlv look ~arountk at the misery and sufferings of others we should be more cognizant of the blessings we enjoy. Addressing the chairman he wished to ask why such subjects were left for Jnymen to talk on whilst the medical profession was practic ally silent. Per haps it was because the technicalities of the'language of materia medica were beyond the average person. He wish ed to remind them that he was no scientisty and, therefore, was not pre pared to deal with his subject scicnt fiecally, but as man to man. If he should nrisuse scientific terms he beg ged to be excused bY the learned pro fession, for first vear students know more about it than he did, As for criticism, he rather courted than fear ed it. He had been in parliament, was very thin-skinned upon entering, but had, like My. Pense, learned that un tough hide was an essential factor for that position. He urged people th rend and think for themselves In this 1905 we were still fighting the dreaded disedse spoken of thou- sands of years ago in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Later Hippocrates, "the physician, and the son of a physician, was so mystified by its ravages that he attributed them to his sdtanic majesty. Four hundred and fifty years BU. be prescribed fresh air and sian: shine as the only remedy. Dr. Me. Cormick, many years ago, was hooted ut in Ireland for prescribine nrecisely the same antidote. In 1872 the law provided that every house containing confumptives be reported, visited and disinfected, but only now is our legis lature realising the need of this and listened to the reading of a bill intro duced the other day. 'The hill pro vided that immediately upon the ap- pearance of the symptoms the .atten- dont physician be called, but sven though this bill became law, and here ho particalarly désived to solicit My. Pense's | attention, the mass of the sufferers who cannot afford an attens «lant physician will ngt le benétited. Not long ago, from an obscure tdwn in Gerfaany, an obscure physician made 4° wide reputation bv the discovery 'of the "tubercle bacilli" or microbe that caused consumption, the celebrated Dr. Koch. who is now on expressed Som SUK sera, too, dd certainly been discovered, but was antitoxin for the tubercle bacittux to many a P I . . 000; in Germany 30,000 and taking it the world over millions yearly. What did it mean in Canada? If an bpideinie swept 8,000 people off the Gominion what a bother there - would be. in the legislature and the country would he roused, yet he ven- tured to say twice as many died from 'this dread disease, i ported while many die unreported the (vemy" lowest estimate we lose 000 | veel. were 5 homes in lamentation over its victims. n the province of On- tari alone at least 3,000 die annual Iy from tubérculosis. More than a billion dollars worth of lives are los: yearly in the United States, compute at $6,000 per life. Providence gh Ws lands to cultivate and seas to fish and the loss of hands means loss of production. In Canada he thought life equally as valuable as in the United States mah for man, At? $1,000 por head the domimion was Jos- ing, $8,000 a year. ; "Among the things not to do, . the judge was struck most with the warn- ing not fondle vats. | with parents# not to let ch catd 10 bed 'with them. He held in his hand a letter from a gentleman at Brantior. This gentlensgn had a lady friend who was suffering with * tuber | Suan inate nd. he wished to know what" should be dbue for her, A purse was' found Rid Sent to' im estignte the case. © Ia dountl that the trouble oggigted with a dat, but was traced thrdu Rhree different persons, all suf. fering fhm the same cause.

A doctor in Berlin states that ¢ contains. suflicient to kill the popu- ation of the American continent.

His association suggested the other day. that cattle sheds be ipspected every week.

He did now epvy the Jot of M.P.'s, althopgh he j envied Mr. Pense personally, but he { would' five anything for the 'chance or a little while in which to make the legislators' ears burn. In conclusion, be said, although he { bad a and. doleful tale, every cdoud had its silver lining. The Bible | spoke of sins being visited upon the third and the fourth geniration, hut he was glad to say that it was not an | hereditary diseagpe. Dr. Flick's book } on the subject should be in every | school library The old idea of { heredity longer obtained. Mi- | crobes, organic life, cannot be. inher- | ited; families were not swept away be- ! cause of heredity. Insurance compan fos, in their qt fi as to hereditayy constomption, werg far astray. Delicgey might be inheritefl and the disease con tracted through lack of energy to re- sist it. Take precautions against con- tagion through expectoration; .it is more. dangerous than living with tu. bercular people. Another silver lining was the fact that the Genoese phys jeian, Dr. Oester, had discovered, namely, that once cured a person was sad er Ol no "THorever immune, on the basis of poi son killing poison. Jews are more im- mune 'than any people, possibly be- cause of the bygone scourges through which they had passed. Inherent im- munity could be pransmitied, and that was a great blessing. No absolute cure had been doscovered, antitoxin, as' in the case of diphtheria, or perhaps it was because the right time had not been hit upon for «injection. The opsonic treatment only tells when to inject, but Sir Al- mot Wright had not discovered the time for consumption. In Muskoka sanitariumg there is mere ozone, more electric storms than in Ontario, which burns out the impurities of the air. They had tried to produce ozone in Toronto, but it percolated the tent and escaped. After all sickly children were better out of the surroundings of Muskoka, with patients lying around everywhere the atmosphere was not helpful. The tent system introduced by the Lord Bishop of Huron under the diligent Daughters of the Kinz, wags a great success. The Preshyterian divine, Rev. Mr. MePherson came to a | tent ninety-eight pounds, land in one year reached 175 pounds and was perfectly cured. Mr. Pense moved a hearty vote of thanks to the judge for such a us:ful, informing and well sugar-coated lee tare. He said Ii Hung Chdng. when he returned to China could only talk of our hospitals and homes for the { sick, He assured the people that the | sentiments favored, in a debate recent- iv in the legislature were those of i Danghters of the Empire, | and 'would eventually result in notifi- | eation, and consumption hospitals, Col. Taylor in a few forceful re- marks supported the mation advoeat ing 'sanitariums under thé supervision of an energetic, capable, competent minister of education. ' After a fitting contribution by Dr. Knight. the Rev. Mr. Sykes moved vote of thanks to the second- el by Dr. Etherington Stor a few remarks from the mayor, in which he said physicians had two duties, the laboratory and their practice between which their time was fully occupied. and he hoped the government would be compelled to assist in the matter.'
