sromxcn PAIN

At one time it was thought that the pain l'rom a stomach or intes- tinal ulcer was due to the fact that food got illto the ulcer and caused the paill.

The fact that it was a matter of two or three hours after the food was eaten before the pain began, disproved this. Also the fact that when pain was present, eating some food caused the pain to disappear.

It was then believed that it was the presence of too much hydro- chloric acid in the stomach juice that irritated the lllcer and caused the pain. ’l‘hus the idea that it was too much acid that caused the pain became popular.

However experiments proved that not only does the introduction 0f strong acid into a normal stomach uutncanse pain, but that when a large number ol‘ normal stomachs are examined it is not unusual to

dud cases ill which the acid is fully as high as when all ulcer is pres- ellt.

1),; w, 1,. Palmer injected a one half per cent. solution of hydro- chloric acid illto normal stomachs

and-there was no pain from‘ it. But ill patients suffering with stomach‘, or intestinal ulcer these injections, immediately

caused pain, which patients described as exactly likc the pains they usually suffered.

What does this prove?

That it is the acid in the stonr, acll juice that causes the pain, but‘ theremust bc all ulcer there [org thc acid juice to irritate. ‘

After SixtyYears Of Progress

THE GROWTH 6F CANADIAN TRADE SINCE CONFEDERATION

\ .

At Confederation Canada was for the most part a practically un- known wilderness, while the Si. Lawrence valley. though partially in its trade by its severe winters, and the Maritime ‘Provinces by the lack oi nll-‘tlle-year-round communica- tion with the hinterland. Ill the first year of the Dominion, the total trade was just u-rder $120.- 000,000. Imports amounted to $67.- 000.000_ exporfs of Canadian pro ducts to'$48.‘500,000 and exports of foreign products to a little over $4,000,000. Of the ‘$48,‘500000‘ of Canadian exports it is significant that only $1,500,000 was described as “manufactures?

From this comparatively unim- portant position as a tradltlg coun- try at Confederation, Canada clilllllctl slowly bllt steadily until the end of the ‘ninteentvh century, and thereafter very rapidly i-ndeed. In 1926 the exports of Canadian produce reached $1,31‘5,000,000_or I10 less than 27 times their value ill 1868. although the population had hardly trebled during the interven- illg period-a cr-nlparlson which

The difference between prohibi- tiorl and temperance is that the former is not temperance, of which there is abundant proof.

The Patriot stresses the fact that many persons who lately support- ed prohibitlon are going to vote for Government Control. Having, mean- time, read andconsidered Premier Stewart's platform, they have changed their minds, and have de- cided to give Government Control u. trial. There is nothing nnreasonq able about their decision. Good methods, as good reasons. must
