fine hotels. parks, anything that might lure the stranger who is tak- ing a vacation to visit them. Tourist travel is a seasonal activity of ln- creasing importance.‘ It started spontaneously years ago and being found profitable i t is now being whipped forward by artistic adver- tising.

According to government statistics revenue from summer vacationists in the Dominion grew from $83,734,- 000 in 1920 to $190,463,000 in 1926. But in the same year it was estimat- ed that Canadian vacationists spent over ninety million dollars abroad, while absent from their homes. That would reduce the net revenue from tourist traffic in 192G to $100,000,000, and this would be further reduced by the very considerable sum ex- pended by Canadian tourists in their vacations in other Provinces than their own. It counts as tourist traf- fic alike if vacatlonists come from the States into the Dominion or from inland Canada down to the seaside in the Maritimes.

The profits may be over-estimated. but still are very real to hotels and transportation companies operating by rail or water carriage. And there is little doubt that the volume of traffic will be larger this year than it has ever been. Our Tourist As- sociation is doing excellent work, but cannot be expected to indulge in costly publicity expenditure to the extent that other Provinces are do- ing. Yet we are gaining from year to year in the larger number of con- ventions. annual meetings, and large parties of distinguished visitors that ,come hither, all of whom are wel- come. and none more so than the coming Medicine Men will be.

The Tourist Bureau of Quebec in an attractive booklet stresses the ‘excellence of the paved highways of that Province, of which many pretty views are shown. Among the “Facts About Montreal" these are ‘noted: Population, 1.000.000 (1,200,- ,000 including suburbs).

BtionnI-D SURGERY VS. MEDICINE

I read a story recently in'which was recounted the de ire of a young graduate in medicine to become a brilliant surgeon.

However in order to earn money with which to take a surgical course later, he begins practice, meets a young woman, falls in love and is married. The course in surgery never comes. but a family and happiness helps him to forget it to a great ex- tent. with however an occasional longing for the course in surgery. The story goes back a bit and shows how his father and grandfather also had both had the longing to take a course in surgery but had both lnar- ried and continued as general prac- titioners. '

Now this, worship of surgery is not unnatural.

You see practising medicine is like defensive work. fighting the enemy who has come into your ter- ritory. But surgery is like going into the territory of the enemy and scor- ing your points.

However as surgery is really only a "last resort" the profession has

Dr. Glasufeld, in a study of 2032 cases which underwent operation re- ports B2 per cent of cures and a death rate of a little over 5 per cent. Thus you can see that the rc- sults obtained by the X ray treat- ments are about as good as those obtained by operation.

Further, when a case is in an ad- vanced state showing rapid loss of weight. extreme nervousness, and a very rapid heart, he makes a poor risk for operation. It is in these cases that brilliant results are ob-
