Notes by the Way

Speaking recently before the Con- stltutional Club at London, Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin, British Conserva- tive leader, renounced Cobdenlam and proclaimed the doctrine of tarifl protection in the strongest terms yet employed by any public man in the Unlted~fiingdom_ i Declaring that every thinking man/in the country had comei to realize the need of a ‘radical change in the British fiscal lsystem, he added that there was a great swing of public opinion in fav- or of the new policy of protection advocated by the Conservative party.

“Nothing is more remarkable," he [sails], “than the way in which this jlast year or 16 months men who

Napoleon's Doctor

(me _London Times.)

It is notorious that Napoleon had a poor opinion of doctors. But he jmacle a few exceptions toihis gen- jcral rule. One of them was Iarrey, ‘his great army surgeon, whom, in .hls will, he described as perhaps the finest man he had ever known; another was Corvlsart, his chief per- soncl physician Corvlsart undoubt- edly owed his popularity with the Empcrorto the sceptical turn of his mind. He was, like Napoleon himself, an cmplricist, a close and careful ob- server who had a greait dislike of drawing conclusions until the evi- dence was of such a nature that a con ilusion became inevitable. This trait adds interest to the modest vol- ume published recently in Paris un- der the title “Aphorismes do Mede- cine Clinique par le Baron Corvlsart,"

a. collection of observations and reflections that has lain unpublished for more than a century. "Medicine," says Corvisart in the first o-f his ap- horlsms, "is not the art of curing diseases; it is the art o.’ treating them, with the hope cf curing them, and of soothing and satisfying sick people." ‘

The distinction was of the great- cst importance to the most illustrious Court physician of his time, for, as he well understood, to soothe and content such patients as Napoleon and Josephine was, usually, to make them well. Corvlsart achieved that object on every occasion. His method

It is unfortunate that so many people just as soon as their feet be- come painful think that they have fallen arches and immediately go to the drug store and purchase a. pair of arch supports. Nor can they be blamed for trying to get relief, be- cause as a matter of fact the feet are about as necessary in earning a. living as is the head.

Arch supports are the very last resort and should only be used when your arches are down and so rigid that they cannot be helped by tem- porary supports or exercise.

What causes painful feet?

Drs. R. E. l-lumphi-les and G. H. Taylor of the New Jersey Orthopedic Dispensary have been studying foot conditions for a number of years and have recently given the results found in 1000 cases.

The most common cause of pain- ful feet is arthritis, or rheumatism as it was formerly called, which is an inflammation of the joints between the various bones of the feet. Of the

The North is coming nearer to the centres of population, thanks to the radio, and the airplane. And in its own sure way, civilization is creep- ing northward. It was not so long ago that it took a year for a letter to get from the mouth of the Mackenzie river to Ottawa and a. reply to get back. Now it can be clone quite eas- ily under a fortnight. Telegrams, wonders of wonder, may now be sent to the Capitol and an answer re- rcivcd within iii-u hours.

is hinted at in perhaps his wisest re- flection. "The doctor ought to be on his guard against the itch to explain everything. He ought to know that Nature hidden in moilt of her works is especially so in diseases. He should content himself with being the ob- server of Nature and not seek to be her confidant," This modest pro- posal is not likely to appeal to the modern mind. It did not always alp- peal to Napoleon, who used to de- uiaiicl that Natures secrets should be

What docs this mean?

That every patient with painful feet should have a thorough examin- ation of the entire body before any supports or real orthopedic treat- ment is given.

Just as infected teeth and‘ tonsils and the poisons that go down to the large intestine from these points can

country in the world is not a revela- = tion by any moans. It is one of the anomalies of international trade and suggests that Uncle Sam is not play- ivng fair, either with cahada or Great Britain. It suggests also that Can- ada and the mother country should look a little more carefully after their, own interests. This Dominion should be able to extend its tradc with South American countries as \vcll as the West Indies.

In the December number of The Navy, Professor A. Bostoc Hill, M.Sc., M.D., furnishes an article showing the great advance in construction, of port facilities at Singapore, and concluding with a plea that the nec- essary sum be found for its comple- tion. He points out that Malaya and some oftlie Domlnions have contri- butcd to the cost and uses this as an argument to influence the British people so that they may bring pru- sui-e on the (iuvcrnment. Few persons, says Professor Hill, realize that Sing- apore ls a most important British port and that the city has nearly half a million inhabitants. The har- bor is magriificent and there are flne docks and public buildings. Singa- pore and Pcnung are islands, the former being the chief of the Straits Settlements. The island is 27 miles by 14 and is situated of! the southern extremity of the Malay Peninsula, separated from Johore by the Johore Strait. This strait has been bridged by what is known as the Causeway, which Dr. Hill describes as a magni- ficent engineering structure carrying both the road and railway, which makes it possible to come from the mainland to Singapore without changing carriage.

Last week in the Court of Sessions in Montreal, three members of a notorious hold-up gang were con- vlcted on a charge of having com- mitted a violent assault on a citizen '73 years of age, after they had rob- bed him. Because of their brutal conduct-evidence being given to the effect that the beating the victim received “may take nve years from the span of his |ife"'—the presiding magistrate adjudged that, in addi- tion to penitentiary sentences, the ‘older offender, and he is only 28 years of age, should receive seven strokes from the lash, and the two younger members of the gang flve strokes each.

As you can't get about properly without support of the feet the use of adhesive tape, one inch in width can be used to strap up the arches while you are undergoing treatment of the arthritis. About three strips of adhesive are used each very slightly overlapping the other from a point Just below and a little in front of outer ankle bone, then brought under the foot (the arch) to inner side then up and fastened to outer side of the leg about 6 or 8 inches above the outer ankle bone. These can be changed every five or six days until the arthritis is cleared up.

As entloned above if your arches are right down and rigld—not pliable -then it is time to get arch sup- ports that suit your particular feet.

he never departed. All the most 1m‘ portant decisions were deferred until the Emperor had immersed in hot water. As time went on, too, the {baths were taken with greater ire- quency and higher temperatures, un- til the physician himself had to ex- postulate. Corvlsarfs remedy did not find favor with most other doc- tors; but then most of the doctors were jealous of him. He seems to have preferred natural methods of treatment to medicines, and urges the advantages of a change of air and of scene with great enthusiasm. The frequent excursions of im- portant poople—notably of Josephine —to spas during the first decade of the nineteenth century were large- ly due to his influence. On the other hand, he wrote: "Doubt the value of a drug to which many vlrtuzs arent: trlbutcd, especially if these '

i Mr. Baldwin's Private Fortune!

(Exchange) l

The decline in tho value of British : industrial sec " has reduced the private fortune of Rt. Hon. Stanleyl Baldwin u» less than a twentieth of what it was when he first became Prime Minister in 1923. Mr. Bald- win's entire capital is in the iron trade, in which his ancesto s were engaged as far back as the time of Charles the Second. when he took office eight years ago, his shares in the iron industry could have been sold for fifteen dollars apiece, where- as todawtheir market value is less than 40. cents apiece, and to quot/e Mr. Baldwin's own words, "no cat- aclysm on earth can bring them back to more than a fraction of their former value."

“1t may have been bad business on my part," said Mr. Baldwin when discussing the iron industry a few days ago. "Many modern business men would say I ought to have real- lzed at the top of the market. But when you have an old name in a business against which nothing, has ever been said and when you know that the public come into that busi- ness on the strength of that name, it is an impossibility to throw your shares on the market when you know that, in all human probability, the loss will fall on them, not on you."

Hard-headed inpney-getters will rcQard this as extravagant ldealmm, but it is the splendid kind of ideal- ism which is at the basis of Eng- land's national character, and has made her name honored inall parts of the world. Nearly 12 years ago when Mr. Baldwin was Financial secretary to the Treasury, he flnony- mously presented $600,000, I. fifth of his entire estate, to the Government for the reduction of the national debt. It was not till long after that the donor's name became know-n, When he resigned the Premiership in the early summer of 1929, Mr. Bald- win's worldly possessions were hp- proximately 5 per cent of 'what they had been when he became. Prime Minister in i923. It is easy to un- clerstand the strength of the grip this able, unassuming, patriotic Exiglish. man has on the party he leads and the people he serves. The spell of his power is sterling character. A '
