True" success Story ay ir. ii. MacArthur

Ralph Waldo Emerson once bald, "men sire made each with some triumphant superiority." True. And to some thousands the superior art is writing. law medi-

.cine or farming. Those who have

toiled while their fellows slept have found the talisman. and speak the sesame. Others still pursue the elus- ive things. But whoever intends eventually to possess the Holy

icirail must be prepared to pay the

fiddler. and. once the price has been paid the cask of gold at the rainbow's end invariably starts to fill up according to his vision.

The triumphant superiority of Art Mcisaac who now operates the Eastern Investigation Bureau at 9 Prince St.. Halifax, is handwriting. Art has the distinction of being Canada's finest penman. He was born on the Souris-"Line Road a little over half ,a century ago. the son of a P. E. Islaiid, fairncr.

MANAGING A NEUROTIC IN A GENERAL HOSPITAL

You are hearing and reading about psychosomatic medicina- "Psycho" means mind and "soma" body; thus "psychosomatic" refer.-. to symptoms due entirely or almost entirely to the effect of the mind on the body. Those who have no organic disease but who suffer with symptoms caused by the emotions are called functional cases because while there is nothing wrong with the structure of an organ. there is something wrong with the fu.nction or use of the organ. Thus. a heart that is normal in structure may be beating too rapidly. This would be a functional condition, whereas if the fast beating were due to some structural abnormality it would be an organic or true heart disease

In Postgraduate Medicine. Dr.. Baldwin L. Keyes. Professor of Psychiatry, Jefferson Medical Col- lege. Philadelphia, states, "For a long time now we have given up the idea that a patient is eitirsr an organic or functional case. that he imust be one or the other. We -know well enough that all organic cases are also functional cases. There is no separation between psychiatry and medicine. It is the total patient in whom we are lgrieicsted.”

The medical or surgical depart- lments and the psychiatrist should. wherefore. have frequent enough Lconferences and consultations sit- ting together and discussing the ipl”0bl8mS of the particular patient lso that all persons handling that ;patient have the same viewpoint ithat is, helping the patient as a

whole.

A good social worker can help greatly by getting fl more co'r.oiefn: history A home, dctncstlc affairs illness of members of the family. financial problems.

”There is no line that you can cut and say. This belongs to you and this belongs to me.' It is the, total patient. our mistake in mod- crn medicine in the handling .of these patients is that we cut them up into specialties."

Dr. Keyes points out that with a group of physicians prescribing a line of treatment. the patient learns to .do a great deal for him- seif if the doctor in charge has patience. a lisieiring ear, and some explanations as time goes on to interpret to him the emofional problems that are the underlying cause of his symptoms.

Fragrant Phlox and tall Holly- hocka in bright colors are making the izarden a pleasant place to see Just now. It is true that there are weeds to see as-well as fragrsnt flowers. but we try to avoid them in our garden tour. and we are not always successful in this attempt.

Perennial Phlox is one of the finest hardy plants for our gar- dens. with long lasting bloom and increasing in size every year, so that divisions can he made and a large collection of plants for the garden is obtained in a short time. Phlox needs rich soil and an abun- dance of moisture in the growing season. -

The new varieties are superior to the old, except for an early white by the name of Miss Lingard. this Phlox has the most beautiful foli- age of any that I know. Iovely lavender colors can be obtained in the hardy Phlox as well as all shades of pink, rose, and red. Early and late varieties make the garden fragrant for weeks in mid-summer and bright with color.

I-Iollyhocks are suitable for large garden and their height in the perennial borders contributes a great deal to the garden picture.

Clematis Jaciunanni is now blooming in two places on the house wall. When dividing the vine last Autumn I was a bit fearful of the result. but the effort was. worth while, as the old vine had become too heavy for beauty and it now looks very well with the lvely pur- pie-blue flowers; these are beauti- ful for decoration and are long- lasting. More seeds have been sown of Sweet William, Foxglove, Iceland Poppy and other biennlals

I O O

Violas and other things will be sown ,as soon as the seed is gather- ed from the garden and it is an easy way to obtain many plants for the garden borders.

This is the time to take slips of Geranium: for winter blooming. and I find it easy to break branches of the plants that I need and plant them in a shady place or in a win- dow box. then in the Fall they can be potted up and will give color for the Winter season. Annuals have been brought from the field and planted in the border to extend the blooming period. it is important to have some plants to take the place of those that have finished bloom- in and Cosmos and zinnlas are very good for this purpose.

A dear old lady of ninety-four summers visited the garden last week, and I was so very sorry to miss seeing her; being absent from the garden for is couple of hours.

At this season of the year, it is is delight to stay at home and meet the nice folk who come to the gar- den, and the very old are special- ly elcomed. I hope she will come again. The early morning is the loveliest time to see a. garden.
