QUININE TEST FOB SIVIBI TYPE OF GOITBI

When a. patient shows an en-

tllyrold gland In the neck, to- gether with a rapid heart, trembl- ing of the limbs or general nervous- ness, the physiclarl usually advises I metabolism best to find out whether or not the seven type of goltre is present. In this type all the processes including the heart best are going too rapidly. The patient goes to the hospital or to the physician's office without breakfast some morning, rests for about an hour, and then the rate at which the body processes are working is measured this “met.abollsm" tester. Sometlmw more than one examination is made if the patient soedﬁ much cited.

The average rate at which the

ody processes work is put. at 100. if the machine records more than 100 then the rate is above normal. if less than too it. is called below normal. However physicians allow is rate of 115 or 85, that la 15 above 4:: below the 100, and consider it so near to normal that no treat.- meni; is necessary. If above 115 rest is given or in severe cases (120 to 140 or obove) 5 portion of the thyroid gland is removed. If below 35 then extract of thyroid gland to speed up or increase the i-ate.

Now this method is excellent, doesivt cost a great. deal, but sometlme_s the inconvenience and even the low cost. prevent patlerm undergoing it.

It is interesting to read therefore In the Journal of Clinical Medl- elne, St Louis, of the observa- tions of Dr. I. Bram, Philadelphia, who states that "from his observa- tions in a series of more than 4000 cases it appears that the qulnlne test for the severe form of goltre is a. dependable guide; the chance or frequency of being wrong being only one in every twenty cases (5 percent).

The ability to take or withstand quinine appears to vary in differ- ent lndlvlduuls but in exact ratio or proportion to the metabolism rate (rate at. which the body pro- cesses work) so that the higher the rate lfie more qulnlne the indi- vidual can take without having any symptoms of quinine polsonlng.

Brieﬂy his suggestion was this: The Government being almost at the end of its resources as far as raising any more revenue by taxes was concerned, could still, however issue an automatically .se!f—cancelltng currency through the channels of wages, salaries and relief diabursenlents: A currenclng of the following nature:

At the end of that time it would be worth ninety-nlne cents for the next thirty days, and at the end of the third month it would be worth as legal tender ninety-nine cents, and so on, un- til at the end of 8 hundred months it had cancelled itself out entirely.

Mc- Leod. chief Supt. of Education and the writer of this sketch, who was at that time the youngest Impac- tor of Schools ln the Brtﬂsh Em- plre.

Those were Lhe sponsors of Em- ptre Day, the men who ln August 1898, in the old Academy of Music building at Halifax adopted the following resoluuon:

"Resolved. that the Association recommend that the school day‘ immediately preceding the 24th of MRI’ be set apart. as "litmplre Day," and that the education depart- ments of the provinces and territ- ories be respectfully nques to arrange for such exercises in their respective schools as will tend to the increase of a. sound paxrzotlc feeling."

on this authority, lwuon was taken by the education departments of the several Canadian provinces. and on May 33rd. 1399. the first Empllv Day in oanadn was duly celebrated. Immediately the day at- tracted nttoentlon outside of cm- lidli. and under tha inﬂuence of the Earl of Month and the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain its ob- servance was soon extended to the

Old Land and throughout the Emplre. The idea. of an Empire Day on

which children in all parts of the Empire would be inspired to gregg. er patriotism by being reminded or their historic past. seemed to fill A particular need. Why should not at least one day be selected out of the School year to be specln‘ly devoted to the cultivation of loyalty and attachment to our country and to tpe institutions under which we lve.

A resolu. tlon of condolence was passed 1" svmlaat-hv for Mrs. lavasenclerl loss. and in her lack owledcment. the bereaved woman said she hoped the pnulolllo spirit of the graucl father would descend upon little Kathleen. The members or the “ ‘ than ‘ ‘ ‘ little Kathleen Trentiolm Fessenden an honorary member. in recognition of the loyal service of her cestorn and art pledge of future endeavor. A Coll. temporary writer said: "It. was ll notable experience for the child. Mrs. Fessenden was struck by her delight in her badge and the nipple least she wore: by the glow of hei- yourtg spirit; by the deep lmpm-5. stun made on her mind by lhls identification with I worthy past, and by the patriotic ssplratlon that aguely stirred her. The thought na urally followed: Why should not all children be stimulated in this way? If the new life and aspira- tion that. came to thls one child, could come equally to all children. what a tremendous influx of nut.- ional energy there might. be with the next generation. In this thought lay the germ of Empire Diiy."

Mrs. Feserider immediately set to work to make her dream come true. she decld ‘- '-hat to reach the children of the country most ef- fectively she mifsi. work through the press and the public schools. In August 189? gm made known her ambition through the press. she asked that "school boards and others be visited and petitions ott- culated uklng the endorsement of a movement looking toward the formation of a. national patriotic scheme of education." she wro'c to the I-fonounble J. W. mas. Miri- later of Education for Ontario ask- lng "lf he would have a day set aside for special patriotic exercises in the schools, the children taking part to be known as the league of the Union Jab ." Mr. Ross replied that he was delighted to notice the loyal tone by which her appeal was animated. “An Canadians," he said, “we have been greatly at fault. in neglecting the cultivation of 8 pa‘- rtotlc spirit, and if the formation of a league such as you suggest could be of service for that Dlll'[)C.‘l‘, as I am sure it would, it ought to receive the support of every Dal- rloitc Canadian. As there Ls no provision in the ngulntlons of the Department for flu exercises of any kind, I think it would be well to consult the I pector. and im- haps the chairman of the Board of Trustees. before such exercises were l troduoed into the school. so far as the Education Department is concerned you may rest. asslmd that any effort made to foster in our school children n lave for our country will receive a most cordial support. I shall even be prepared to consider any general scheme for the schools of the whole Province that may be submitted."

Mr. Ross’ sunestlon was acted on by Mrs. Feuenden: and in ans- wer to her letter with which her scheme lud been submit. ed. M!- Ross wrote on November 23rd. 1397. shying: “It woud be of some ad- vantage lf the scheme were taken up by the Hamilton Board of 'n'ustaee.s. as that would call public attention to the movement. and perhaps make it easier for the Department to act."

Immedfraly the I-nmlltsn Board was approached with the result thnt on January '7, 1898 it dfclded “that the Bolrd set apart OW‘ afternoon in the year for the Duff pose of lnculcatlng patrlolc sent? merits."
