In the hospitals of Charlottetown miracles were be- ing done by the doctors. There was a beautiful new hospi- tal here in the city, which had many features, which had not rls yet been incorporated into any other hospi- tal in the country. The people were to be congratulated on having a board of trustees and ad- ministrators who had courage and vision to go ahead in a time of stress. Dr. Agnew paid tribute to the self-sacrifice and devotion to duty of the doctors and others of thc hospital staff. Yearly 40 to 50 millions were spent in liospitalz, and only part of this was paid by the patient, Dr. Agnew outlined some of the delicate processes which were carried out in the hospitals for the benefit of the patients. In the mat- ter of mental patients, there was a very small amount of expense borne by the patients. Were it not for the hospitals, medical men would be ser- iously handicapped; hence the hos- pital was about the best investment which a community could keep up. “Don't let George do il. all,” was Dr. Agnew's final advice. A fewi people with doctors allfl nurses were bearing the whole burden of the community, despite the fact that tile hospital was a matter of commun- ity partnership. If the people of the community would get out and` bear their share of the bul'dcll_ they would reap the benefit of zl siliclldld and eilicicntly run hospital. Patent Medicines Mr. L. D. Currie in opening his ad- e of the waste e of the Dilblle doctor. The manufacturers of fake products should be eXD05eil. Mr. Currie listed a number of Pre- ducts which he stated were harmful or useless. i Money used for useless things, he said, could be turned into the ficld of fundamental research for the benefit of the human race. Lack Of money crippled research. It was time that the medical, hospitals and nurses associations get together to .say that the sale of worthless pro- ducts must stop. Many departments of research were starvins fi” m°"°Y~ The public should be educated a- gainst these worthless remedics, Hon. Dr. Murray Maebarcn had introduc- ed s bill to the House of Commens to curtail the use of many sclf-ad- mlnistered remedies. The slieiikef feared that wealthy manufacturers would be able to get around thc bill. All people should raise their voices against the use of fake medicines.

In closing, His Worship expressed ould contribute to the forwarding the great cause. fuge to the sick and often provide a home for the homeless, The first thought is the welfare of the pa- tient, and last, that of their own financial remuneration. Hospitals carry a. heavy burden of responsi- bility of finance in the ordinary wear and tear of life.

G. Grant, Dean of the Fzlc- ulty ol Medicine at Dalhousie Ulli- versity, reviewed the irifiueiice the development oi hospital service had had on medical education and on the practice of medicine. Comparing medical education now with \\'l1;1L it was years ago, Dr. c.;'a..t s.....d that t‘...l‘..y 5t:..s ago .lie `ni....;:; ...-...cs. ...hear ua.. uc- pcndcnt on the Victol'i.t General l-Iospital for clinical illstruciioil as it still was to some extent. 'I"ncre had, however, developed in Halifax a. group of specialized hospitals Where special clinical work was done, and where diversified material was supplied to Dalhousie students. The addition of the inierne year to Way. assisted in nicrilcal etliication. The students were most clltliusillstic as to the colldiiioiis in the hospitals. to improvement in hospital service, Dean Grant asserted. Years ago the dept-<>r depended largely on himself in cliagnosLs. nor could anything take the place of the doctol"s owll ingenuity. But in tho last. few years special aids had developed. The use of X-rnys. of tlir- laboratory in blood examination, the estimate of a typhoid case by determining of the metabolic rate, etc., were 1'efi:l'red to. The hospital had created a great im. provemellt in medical serviclc, and now modern service was offered to the whole population, not merely io those of the lai'_s,'cl~ centres. Forllier- ly students went directly to their practice. Now glndurlics continued in specialized study. Last, year 80% of Dalhousie graduates went in for such studies. Hospital Problems spoke oil “Problems Facing Can-I adian Hospitals". There were all- even dozen problems before tht-il Canadian hospitals, he said. The first was that of finance, as almosti all hospiiais were “in the red." There was a general shift in pili- rolinge from private ward.; io non- paying or pzlf't-l‘»ayirlg public wards., the course was also '.'aluaiile. Tm- lritcrrie did all the things under su- pervision, which they would be re-i quired to do in gelicrnl practice. Ill this way they acquired rt confidence and practice available in no other The thanks of thc University was due the various liosilltclls which had Improved medical practice was duel Dr. G. Harvey Agnew, Secretnryi of the Canadian Medical Council.. administrative bodies. Despite thu conditions the morale had nevel been higher. Often there were de- pleted or no pay envelopes. The co- operation evidenced was an encoun- ngement to the discouraged admin. sltrator. The question of individuals doing ,specialized work was a professional problem. The day would probably ' ccme when a man would not 'call himself a specialist, unless his qualincaticns had been judged by ‘some standard. The establishment I of the Royal College of Surgeons in Canada was another yard-stick, In one of the large hospitals it was re- Ciiilred of the dociors to hold | fellowship in one of the organiza- tions. A sort of super-specialty board had been organized in U. B. . to keep vile standard.; high. Tliere was a general lack of irau tcmes, as the number of graduatd remained stationary. Better yardslicks of comparisons in llospiiuls were necessary. The pl'c.\l-lli llicans of comparison of rsfxlllis were chaotic. The methods ivoilld have to be made uniform. Ulicolitrolled expansion resulted iin over hospitalization and the`ty- i liig UD Of iii0iii‘Y- Some guiding and ri-straining hand might prgvonj misuse of money and duplication ol services. 'I'he last problem was thai of extemal relationships, to tif( world and to other hospitals. What ,tile world needed, and what wal liecessary in the hospital world was fl'flnl~:ness and co-operation. Therq should be more co-operation be- tween local hospituls in councils og .advance services, to prevent dupli- cation, and to provide a cheapel and more cificicnt service. A brief period of discussion fob- lowed. Major S. E. Miiggah of Sydney stated that in recent years the hos- 'pital in his city had been greatly limprovcd. A standard cost system had been introduced early this spring. Mr. L. D. Currie, Glace Bay re- ferred to the addition of a wing td lthe hospital at Glace Bay. W'ha,l lliacl been done in Charlottetown could be done elsewhere, but cour- age was required. Dr. Agnew stated that when tht! delegates went to the P. E. I. Hos- pital they were in for a treat. The hospital did not lock like a hospi-, tal, as the exterior had been so created to give the best possible in. tl-rior_ Tho hospital was 30 per cent. better than the other best hospital from the point of cubic footage.
