I'll HIDDEN SYMPTOMS OI‘ CANCER OF THE STOMACH

Although the cause of cancer is‘

unknown, it is known that cancer lf discover-ed early enough. can be klffi by treatment with radium. -ray and surgery. It is unfortun- te that cancer in one organ of the y presents such mild symptoms

at first that by the time it is sus-‘

footed half the cases are too late or treatment and another quarter has only an even chance of being cured. The organ is the stomach.

Perhaps we think that cancer of the stomach kills such a large per- centage because it is difficult to discover. that it is not like cancer of the skin or the mouth when every small sore is in sight and can be watched. As a matter of fact. we learn from “Handbook of Cancer." published by the Canad- ian Medical Association. that “cancer of the stomach ls eminent- ly curable if attacked in the early stages." By watching the signs and listening to the symptoms describ- ed by the patient, the use of the fluoroscope tX-ray) and gastro- scope. the cancer may be discover- ed in its early stages and treat- ment bring about a cure.

Because cancer of the stomach has mild symptoms, such as sllght lndigation after meals. it gets a big start before it is discovered. _It might be well. therefore. to again state the early symptoms: 1. Feel- ing of discomfort in the stomach. increased by taking food which dis- mmfort disappears at night. 2. Bobbing of gas. and gas pressure. B. Loss of appetite. particularly for tcertaln foods such as meat. 4. A "ifeeling of tiredness and weakneu. with los of weight and thinning nd’ the blood. _

Although these symptoms point Ito cancer of the stomach. physic- lana for years have been using the x-ray and barium meal, the fluoro- poope. and lately the gastroscope

which latter instrument ‘ allows mhum to see e lining of the stom- peh. A recen invented type of

gyroscope can be so bent that the

lng ofthe upper part of the

stomach now can be seen by the physician.

For a fur minutes. as we waited [for this morning's early bus, the t sun dispersed the clouds, heavy and gray, and shone feebly upon the dampness of the new day, but then was content Plesently to be hidden . again. Before this, indeed continu- _ ing from the time of our rising. lwhich the old clock had indicated

in a brisk warning-—and James lhearing the rain on the roof had ‘commented sleepily: “There's no

need of getting up so early, Ellen!" we had met intermittent showers. Ford's prowling left clear trails in the wet Etass of the yards. and the flowers we must soon gather in a bouquet. were fresh-washed by the raindrops.

Blue forget-me-nots. we picked, recalling all the time scenes out of earlier years, the sacrifices made in our behalf and some of the legion of incidents for which we were still in debt. as children owe parents in one which can never be adequately written off, and dating back as far as infant days. We gathered as well. the more choice of our tulips, a golden one for our most memor- able delights. and a scarlet one to rcmind us of any careless spells of childhood and one of darker shade which could tell of any disap- pointments and tears-of those that had magically survived the spells of our haphazard gardening.

And later as we went down the lane in the family machine, leaving James standing in the yard with that still undetermined expression which may be actual loneliness or again be merely relief, we shook off our staid years as a chatelaine at Al- derlea and were back to our child- hood again. But not entirely be- fore we had kissed a soft cheek that was grand-daughter's and answered her question, "Are you sure you have to go?" at the end of this road of ours, in the vicinity of the corner-store where we were presently to await the early bus which carried us "home" this morn- ing.

Hobbies 0f

l.oc'al Gitlzans

By Uncle Joe l

Beechwood Gardens at Cornwall. now in their nineteenth year, are the hobby of Mrs. Gordon MacMil- lan. A more picturesque site would be hard to find. From the top of the highest terrace one gets a fine view of the West River lying majestic and serene, forming. as it were, a foremat for the Goddess of Beauty.

Not only does their owner love flowers, but she knows how to ar- range them so that the visitor im- mediately will be captivated by their artistic effect.

Surrounding these lovely flower children is a native white spruce hedge about four feet high and, of course, always nicely manicured. An inner border of honeysuckle and lilac further enhances the beauty of this lovely Eden, causing the,flow-

ions/Liiteratuna

ers themselves to stand out con- spicuously, like a Madonna in a gilded frame.

Despite the care that goes into lhls venture, Mrs, Macltlillan al- ways finds time to show visitors around. patiently explaining to them the names of the different plants. She talks of flowers as if they were children. Here in this bit of Eden you may see. in the dif- ferent seasons. daffodils, tulips. forget-me-nots, irises. peonles, lark- spurs, Oriental poppies. roses. etc.. supplying to Beechwood Gardens a vlreamland of blossoms that makes the garden hauntingly inviting from early spring until late fall.

Flowers from the MacMillan Gor- dens have captured numerous prizes at the Provincial Exhibition, in- cluding the governor's annual prize for the best floral display. Glads from Beechwood Gardens have won top honors at the Toronto Gladiolus Show.

Mrs. MacMillan is a member of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society and is justly proud of the fact that those beautiful gardens are wholly the result of her in- dividual efforts. How she finds time to read the books covering every phase of this fascinating hobby while taking care of her home du- ties Bhll the flower children is lit- tle short of a miracle.

Each year brings many tourists to this sliriiie of beauty. They rep- resent every province in Canada as well as many places in the U.S.A.

This venture of Mrs. MacMil- fan's never has set the world on fire, financially speaking, for the money she receives from cut flow- ers, wreaths. sprays. etc.. goes back into maintenance —- not nearly enough, however, to show any substantial profit. But time and labor mean little to one who loves his work.

So it is with this flower woman. She takes great pride in her flow- ers, as well as in passing on to others some of the joy she her- self has experienced all through those nineteen happy years during which she has cultivated her hobby. . '

Her own hands planted the first seeds which have resulted in the falryland we see today. It has been a hobby accompanied by much toil and many tears, but, in the end. a triumphant victory.
