THE X RAY TREATMENT 0F

SEVERE GOITRE

Notwithstanding the great skill 91

our surgeons which has now en- abled patients with severe goltre to undergo operation in their own city

or town, there are still a great num.

ber of patients where operation

would be unsafe.

There are also a large number who naturally dread or fear up“- atlon, _

What about other methods of re- ducing the size of the thyroid gland, the enlargement of which is the

cause of the usual symptoms-fast

heart, nervousness, trembling, and digestive disturbances?

The other methods are the X-ray and radium. i

Dr. A, H. Williams, Grand Rup- ids, Michigan, from a study of 200 cases is convinced of the value of the X-ray treatment, In these cases there was an average of 10 treat- ments over a period of 3i‘; months, The dose was repeated weekly or at l0 day intervals.

What were the results?

The average drop in the pulse rate was 24 beats to the minute which is n great improvement, This

must have bccn very reassuring

when we remember how the very fast heart rate in severe goitre alarms the patient.

The average gain in weight was would show that llic digestive disturbances were greatly Zrssened.

The rate at which the body pro- cesses worked was loweredby 23 There was that much less work clonc by the body thus saving

mucll strength and energy.

Of the 200 cases, 161, or about 81

per cent were definitely cured, 2'I\ cases or about 13 pcr cent were im- proved, making a total of 188 or 94 per cent either cured or improved. In eight cases, or_4 per cent, the symptoms returned after one year, five of which were and cured. symptoms due juice and one case showed blood vessel disturbances.

Canada Gives Banking Lesson (By Dr. Harry Elmer Burma in New Yon; world-Telegram.) ‘

The two great necessities in our present banking situation are to meet the crisis effectively and then l0 put into operation reforms which wlll prevent any recurrence of such a scandalous and unnecessary CREPE-KOO)’.

In the search for reforms we could hardly do better than to turn to the banking experience of ll neighbor where bank failures are practically unknown, namely, the Dominion of Canada.

In the United States Ln the last lull-teen years approximately 1!,-

000 banks have failed and 18.800

remain to do business. The banks which have failed have had liabilities of approximately five

billions o! dollars. In the Dominion

of Canada on the other hand, iuere has been but one bank fail- ure since 1914. That was back in 1023, when the Home

bllities of some $19,600,000.

we may quite naturally ask how

Canada achieves such remarkable

results. It is obviously not because banking is easier in Canada. Qultc

the contrary k the case. C9118!“ must meet the banking needs of a far-flung country. Further, Can- ada is primarily an agricultural

country, with nothing like the po-

tential banking business or the

vast resources to draw upon which

are possessed by the United States. Nor has Canada escaped m0" easily frcm the depression than wc have.

0 I O

The primary answer to success

in maintaining a safc and work- able system is that ln Canada banking is banking and not an ac-

cessory to stock speculation or the flotation of dubious foreign bonds.

There is no legal requirement in Canada, to maintain any specific reserve against deposits. On this

vital matter the Canadian bankers

are left to the resources of their

Bank of Canada closed its doors with lia-

own integrity, experience and goo. ludﬂmont.

Further, the Canadian govern- ment does not regulate bank loun- u strictly u the federal govern- ment does the loans of our nation- al banks. Moreover. there L1 no central bunk in Canada nor any- thing like our Federal Reserve System to bolster up weak banks.

Yet the Canadian government stands ready to lnflict severe pen- alties upon those who prove inade- quatc to the freedom and responsi- bility which the general system enjoys.

One answer to the success of the Canadian banks lies 1n effective organization. There are in the United Btates aarproxlmatlely 18,900 banks in one federal forty-eight state systems. On top

of this each American bank is a.‘

little fiscal kingdom in itself, not very sharply restrained by either the National Banking act, the Fed- eral Reserve System or State laws. In Canada there are only ton banks. with some 3,970 branches.

Each of the ten great banks is able to have a highly efficient cen- tralized research and service divis- ion which has ample facilities to gather the necessary information for its hundreds of branches. It can concentrate its resources behind any weak members in its system.

The superiority of the Canadian banks ls not limited merely to greater security. They also give

-better service to the public.

There is nothing in the Canadian system which we could not readily adopt in the United States. If we cannot presume upon the same high quality of banking ethics which help to make the Canadian system so decided a success we can see to it that legislation is adopted

which will make the absence of

such ethical standards extremely precarious to those who wish to practice the noble profession of banking.

His birthplace in rural New Brim‘;- wlck, and his early years in West- cook Rectory, gave him an envir- onment of the Tahtrumar moa- dows, the heights of Beausejour and the tides of Fundy, a natural inspiration for poetry. 1111s led to his long life of service to h‘s coun- try, not the least example of which was his first encouragement of Archibald Lampman, and his life- long association and assistance t0 his cousin, Bliss Carmen.
