Although herpes zcster (shingles) is believed to be due to a tiny organism, pain and itching — tit.- outstanding symptoms — one about all most physicians think about and try to treat. This is bccausc the physician knows that shingles will run its course despite any or all fcmrns of treatment and all that can be done is to try to relieve the

eruption is usually protected in various ways and the patient warned not to scratch the erup- tion. Il is the ccmpllcations caused by scratching that prolong an at- tack of shingles for months in-

stead of the three or four weeks of 5. regular attack. ,

In “The Journal of the Ameri-

can Medical Association." Drs. M.

L. Binder and L. E. Stubbs, New-

port News, Va., state that the

treatment oil herpes poster in the

past has been unsatisfactory at

best. Tlhese physicians mention the

various methods in general use to

protect the part from injury and obtain relief from itching and

pain. Despite all these methods of

treatment, there are many cases

in which the patients do not obtain

any relief, and the affliction runs

its natural course.

One of the methods wilioh seem-

ed to be of help was x—rays in fil-

tered doses to the posterior nerve root affected, as irritation of nerve roots is the underlying condition present. Drs. Binder and Stubbs state that a. colleague reported to them that a patient in whom herpes zoster had developed was being given X-ray treatment. At the same time another condition developed in the patient for which the new wonder drug. aureomycin, was ad- ministered. There was dramatic relief of the herpes zoatcr within 24 hours of_the time uureomycln treatment was started. According- ly, Drs. Binder and Silllibbs admin-

In his recent letter, we f'ollow- ed Bill, Geologist. nephew of ours w-ho spent last Summer on survey in the far Canadian North and is at present in Yellowknife, to the vicinity of a lake to the north east of Gt. Slave Lake. ‘Continuing he wrote: “I was glad to have this particular area to work as there were no portages to worry about. These as you know are often mean trips between lakes or rivers, and often exhausing in length, when one has to carry the canoe for- aging through bus-in-.s and over mcks—- and what a catastrophe it would be to drop or injure the canoe, since one is almost help- less in that terrain without one!

We were worried that we might meet with some Barrcnland Grlslc's. These will attack humans w ereas a black bear will run from them unless wounded or protecting the young. But our most harassing cxpcrience there came from being caught out in a bad headwind coupled with cold slcc-t. i could easily inuginc what it would be like to be there in Winter. because there is no place to get shelter from wind or cold.

criio figure of Christ as pmentaa in the Gospels is of one who enters the life of his time by two quite different paths. now offering is- liof lrom sorrow and now disturb- lug men's complacency by some heroic challenge.

Two sayings will bring out_ the contrast. one is: "come unto me. all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." The other runs: “If any man would come after me, let him deny him- self. and take up his cross daily. and follow me."

It can scarcely be doubted that for the majority of people down the ages, religion has been valued primarily as a. source of consola- tion amid the strain of life. such passages of scripture as ‘The Lord is my shmberd; I shall not want." and ‘Let not your heart be troubled," exercise a gracious ‘min- istry amid the distress and uncert- ainty which no advance in civiliza- tion is able wholly to sxorcize. Some of those who turn this way to religion for its consolation may rightly be accused of seeking evasion and “cheap grace," but there must be few who do not crave at times for an understanding sympathy which can release them from their lonely need.

But there is always room for those whose approach to Christ is more heroic. The prospect of bear- ing his cross does not repel them; it attracts. They respond with eag- erness to his requirement of un- conditional obedience.

Perhaps this generation stands at a point in history at which Christ must begipprehended under both forms. as consolation and as challenge. It had only just begun to recover from the shattering ex- periences of war when it wss called upon at one and the some time to face grave external perils and to consent to profound inward chang- es. The world at such 3 juncture needs both comfort for its innum- erable breaking hearts and reso- lution to steel for flesh effort its wavering wills.

This combination of a sympathy which binds up the wounded spirit and a summons to tireless endeav- our is something which can be found in no principle, but only in A person. The relationship of love is one in which needs are anticip- ated with swift insight. but also the utmost is required that honour can ask or loyalty offer. The spell which Christ casts upon the ages derives from this quality in him. His is a love which is as uncom- promising in its claims as it is limitless in its compassion. .
