M.D I UNDERGOING AN ANAESTHETIC It may be that you or one of your _.iovcd 0110s must undergo an oper- ation as every other possible means oi help are of no avail. You have the greatest faith in your physician and also i11 the surg- "con, but you are frankly afraid oi ituking the anaesthetic. Now this ‘fear of the anaesthetic is easily understood; it doesn't seem. natural to go off to sleep unless you want to ‘ do so. Besides you have read about ‘cases where there have been accid- icnts and even deaths under the au- ‘aesthetic. However when you realize that in everyday of tl1c year many thou- sands of anaesthetics are given, and of the vzry small percentage oi 11c- cldents or deaths, it is most reassur- ing. Perhaps you know that in very ‘I311 111 it!“ WW5 {mm fir-ii t0 51ml few operations now is chlorcforiu ‘ given; it is powerful and effective but not as safe as ether, and so in the majority of cases, ether is the anaesthetic chosen. Irlowevz-r therc are conditions where other anaesthetics are used in order to get the best results during Illild after the operation. The old fashioned laughing gas, nitrous oxide, now has oxygen added i to it. which prolongs the anaesthesia and renders it safe. Another‘ form of anaesthesia, which is becoming vcry popular in all hospitals is spinal anaesthesia. The anaesthetic tisualiy of the coc- aine ‘group, is injected into the spinal column thus putting the nerves to sleep that supply the reg- ion of the operation. You can thus see that if you are afraid of under- going the ordinary anaesthetic that puts you to sleep that this method would be most suitable to you. You are not afraid before the operation and that means a great saving of your physical and mental strength. Another point is that therc is not the shock, not the gas formation. nor vomiting, that follows other or chloroform anaesthesia. Of course there arc certain conditions where even the spinal anaesthetic is not advisable. The thought then is that con-, isidcring the thousands of operations l daily there are very rew Bcltldcaiba. ' ‘ With the care of the patient he- farcpduving, and after opcratlonall forms of anaesthesia are now much {count or the Smncgy of mm‘ 9a“ ‘safer than at any previous time. 6 . ahead TIIE SEEKERS Friends and loves we have H0110. 11or' wealth nor blessed abodfl, But the hope, the burning hOPC.

Laura Sccord (‘Vancouver Province) The passion for debunking his- tory and biography has rcacl1ctl_ Cairada, and discredit has been thrown on one of the most movin; and popular legends of our nation- al story, the legend of Laura Sc- cord The story. as it has been told to three or four generations of Canadians is that, on June 23. 1813, during the war of 1812, Lan- 1 ro. Sccord learned, from the con-g versation of some American offi- cers who were billcted at her home in Chippewa. that surprise attack was intended on the British force at Beaver Dams, twenty miles away, and that she made her way through the enemy lines, and tra- versed the twenty miles through the forest to warn Lieutenant Fltz- i Gibbon, who was in command oi the British. The story is some-l times embroidered with a descrip- tlon of the hardships of the way, l the perils of the woods and an ac- l and cow that Mrs Sccord used to ‘ get through the American lines. The story, certified by FlizGibbon himself, years afterward. has given - Laura Sccord a position with Met-i history. Last fall, when two new histor- , ics were issued at Toronto for use i in the public and high schoofs of 1 Ontario, some zealous digger dis-i covered that the name of Laura‘ Sccord was nowhc1"c mentioned and an explanation was sought from the author, Prof. W. S. Wal- lace, librarian of the University of Toronto. Prof. Wallace was quite frank. He appreciated the Laura Sccord story. He wouldn’t like it to die out and would be glad to see it incorporated in some of the school readers. But in writing his- tory, he preferred to rely on docu- mentary evidence of contemporary origin and he had found In his researches that many of the de- tails of the Laura. Sccord story were of doubtful authenticity. Besides, he did not regard the tale as of much historical import- ance, because Mrs. Secords trip, had had no effect whatever on the Battle of Beaver Dams. That had been fought and won, not by Fitz- Glbbon, who is usually givcn the credit for the victory. but by In- dion detachments under Captain Kerr and Captain Ducharme. These had been warned of the Am- erican advance by their own scouts and had the American force bra- ten into a state of terror by the time FitzGibbon arrived. FitzGib- bon himself is quoted as having stated that his mcn fired no shot in the battle and that their p1"ln- cipal-wcrk consisted in protecting the American prisoners from the tomahawks and scaiping knives oi‘ .4 “,1 .11‘ I“, ll ‘"1 1 r This New t “ 1 b . the latter will undertake police re-l no‘ we month of up em or as haunts a»: well as in other parts of “ ants of Loyalists and Niagflm P10- heers who object to having the ex- lploit" of their heroine disparagcd PUBLIC FORUM The Saint John Telegraph Joumai makes the interesting "Ill Wllmn ll oven '0" m‘ suggestion thzt New Brunswick dilcllillvll b! correiilollllfll" should disbimd hor- provmcmg oi question oi Interest.
