THE PROOPECTB.

\ The Hon. Mr. Dunning. in Char-

lottetown and elsewhere, expressed the prophetic belief that the posi- tion of the Liberals and the Con- servatives, after the election would be the reverse of what ibwas after the election of last October. This means that he ex- pects the Liberals to have the larg-

election is that by the help of the Progressives he might again get in possession of office. likelihood of his having even that“ Public feeling is in oificel is

Notes b_y the Way

in six successive olootions, 1873- 1896 inclusive, Prince Edvard Island elected six mambo . every timo to the Houu of Commons, 36 members in all.

in the elections of i396 and i900 our Province elected five members each time.

in the six following elections. 1904-1925 inclusive we elected only four members st each election, a total of only 24.

Already one-third oi our retire- sentation was gone when the cen- sus of 1911 revealed that aJnrther loss of representation was inevit- able.

In that memorable year, 19H, two noteworthy events occurred. The .l.aurler (lovcrninent was defeated ,ln u Dominion election and the Lib-

lerai Government in Prince Edward island was defeated in a provincial

iii/e do not share in the fear, sometimes expressed, that the gen- eral election that is to be hold on September 14th may not give Mr. Meigheu a sufficient balance m‘ sup- port to ensure stable government. On all hands we see good reason for expecting that Mr. Meighen will have a good working majority in the next House. ln the provinces in which he is strong today, his strength is likcly to be increased. in Ontario, of whose 82 seats he won 68 in the lust election, will probably ‘give him three more this time. in Western Canada thcrs is a fulr prospect of his strength he- lng increased by about eight seats. The Maritime Provinces are pretty certain to do as well as they did in the last election and there is a chance of doing still better. ln Quebec the conditions are more favorable for Mr. Meighen than they were last year. At that time there was not n single F‘renvh-(.‘an~ adian daily supporting his dates.

mindi- Now there are four influen- tial French-Canadian dailies advo- cating the policies and supporting the candidates of Mr. Mulghcit. The all-Canada Conservative party has now a ‘French-Canadian political leader in thl Province of Qllebelv. Mr. Patenaude is Minister of Jus- tice in thr- rMelghen Cabinet. Mr ‘Forticr, one of the lending employ- ers of inilwr nnti a strong protec- tionist, is ‘now supporting Mr. Melghen, whereas in the last niec- tion he was on the opposite side. in Quebec 246,000 volt-s w-rc poli- ed for the Conservative PIPldldlil-és in the last election. and n. numbrr of seats that went to 1h.- Liberal sidc by a narrow majority may be turned info the Conservative umn this time.

It was a hard task to save our membership in the Commons from further loss. The principle of re- presentation hy population was embodied in the British North Am- erica Act. Only the imperial Par- liament could change the B. N. A. Act to give us the relief we sought. The gate seemed to be locked, har- reti and bolted against us‘. it was against the- inferest of the other and larger provinces to ntakc the cllfillge.

REDUCING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.

lt vwnid now appear as if we are going to have a method or com- batting high blood pressure.

The liver extract developed by Dr. Macdonaid of St. Catharines. Ont- ario, has been given further trials on patients. and the results are striking indeed.

Two of the substances in this liv- er extract are already known, that is hlstamin and cholln. Doses of either of‘ these will lower the blood pressure, but it rises again in. ten or fifteen minutes, and to a point even higher than before they were given.

Further it was found that the same dose of either 0r both of these substances given a number of times. failed to lower the blood‘ pressure to the same extent as the first. and the blood pressure went up again in a few minutes higher than ever. However with a time of complete liver extract containing. hlstamin, cholin. and something else not yet discovered or namedJhe blood pres- sure wns lowered for ten to twelve hours, and by repeated doses d-id not go as high as its former level at all.

in. Matxlonald presented the his- tory of several cases where the eit- tract had been atlministered at in- tervals of 3 lo 5 days covering a certain period. The blood pressure went down and remained- down f0!‘ several months after the last dose had been given.

He modestly states "We have not yet ‘found an absolutely successful treatment for high blood pressure. but we hope we have taken a step along the road which will ultimate- ly lead to the discovery of a treat- ment that will permanently reduce high blood pressure to safe limits." 0f course the above refers to blood pressure that is always high. As you know anyone might have high blood pressure during excite- mcnnfrclm an infection uud so forth. Your lJIOOd-pressure can vnry from a low point in the early morning to a high point after dinner at night. But the permanently high blood pressure, due t0 change in the ves- Skis themselves, can now be con- trnled to some cxtt-nt by this liver extract.

As lir. lllncDonald says, we are a step forwnrd- on tire road to a sure and complete‘ treatment 0f hig‘ blood pressure.

Sin-Now that the Liberal can- didates seem to be fast losing eight of the so called constitutional is- sue, perhaps they will be able to find time to inform the public why in the world the Mackenzie King followers appointed a Committee to select s. new flag for Canada. ‘True it is, clllr.
