M.D. HOME TREATMENT OF PIPTIO ULCEE You are hearing and reading much these days about ulcer of the stomach and small intestine and may wonder whether it is common, whether it is serious, and whether or not it requires operation. It is now agreed that ulcer is very ' common, that perhaps as many as ten persons in every hundred suffer or have suffered with it. Now if that many persona sufler with peptic ulcer, as it is called, and very few ever require operation it would seem that it can't be very serious. As a. matter of fact peptic ulcer is serious because it keeps the individual undernourished, irritable, and quite unable to do his beg; work in the community. while some require hospital treat- ment, most patients are able to go about their work and keep fairly free from the pain and distress, by rigidly following the advice of ‘their physician. It is this “eternal vigilance" in watching the food intake, taking the alkaline remedies, and avoiding lllelltlll and [illysical fatigue that prevents the ulcer from giving trouble. Dr. F. D. Gorham, St. Louis, sent questionnaires to a group of his patients who were looking after their own treatment under his dir- ection. About 32 per cent of the cases reported that they had diffi- culty in following his directions by home treatment; ‘l7 per cent were relieved of their symptoms. Only 38 per cent reported that they had re- mained entirely free from symptoms after two years, thus showing that in most, cases ulcer ofthe stomach may give trouble for a time, then symptoms disappear to come back again in a. few weeks or a. few months. _ “In the management of uncom- Iplicated peptic ulcer, of chief im- portancc is to learn as early as pos- sible that it is really an ulcer, then tile use of tile bland diet, alkalis to control pain, and as much mental and physical rest as possible.

Great Britain cannot continue to bear the terrific burden of debt payments unless the allied nations. which are her creditors, especially France and Italy, pay her what ls due by them. The policy of debt can- cellation is logical. would facilitate the immcdlatc recovery of the world's trade, and would benefit the United States as a nation sellinll goods in foreign markets.

CHURCH BUILDINGS Sin-I have heard n discussion lately about when thc different church buildings were first erected on Hlnce Edward Island. There are differences of opinion, but I would like to say that one of the first, if not “the first," was the lit- tle Church of England log structure erected by the pioneers of Brudenell, Kings County. To substantiate this, the late Nathaniel Mcfiaren, at the unveiling of the Centennial Memor- lal Monument on Brudeneu Island, in 1903, in telling of the early his- tory of the pioneers, stated among other facts, that his ancestor James McLaren erected a Church of Eng- land at Brudenell, upon his arrival there in 1803 and that he brought his Chaplain, a Church of England clergyman, the Rev. John Griffiths, with him to minister to himself and fellow pioneers. In passing, 1 must pay a humble tribute to this devout man, James McLaren, who in the far off years, leaving home and kindred, for an unknown and un- tried land, provided himself with that most essential thing, the minis- tratipns and privileges of his faith. Whether Rev. Mr. Griffiths rests with his little flock in the “Isc of the dead" at Brudencll, I know not. but I have heard that for very many years, his lowly log dwelling was used as a sheep fold by one of thc farmers of the vicinity.

The Conservative pofcy; pro- pounded by Premier Bennett, now freely admitted to be the ablest economic disccrner in the Brill-h Empire, if not in the world, is dc- algned to bring about these utop- ian conditions by utilizing common sense practical buslnessvmethods. His tariff is first framed with this objective. The Imperial Con- ference, the progeny of his genius, has taken a foremost rank as the second atcp towards progress in trading inducements, and now the International Economic Confer- ence, originating in “ills fertile brain, wilhbe convened to work out the wldcr problems.

Island Chapter" In the History 0f Bank Of Nova Scotia (From the 100th Anniversary Bro- chure of the Bank of Nova Beetle.) It i.s of more than pasalng inter- est that tile Union Bank of Prince Edward Island (absorbed by the able role in bringing "The Island" into the new Confederation. Prince Edward Island from the first 11nd scorned the proposals that it should enter the union. dfioaperoua and largely self-sufficient it knew or car- ed little about ‘Canadians’ and the ency continued until 187i when an ambitious programme to construct a narrow gauge railway for the length of the island, began. The contractors who were responsible for the project received in return pro- vincial six per cent debentures not to exceed £5,000 per mile. No limit as to length was set and the right of way meandered with rare aban- don "wherever local influence, low cost of construction and the poss- ibilities of the subsidy suggested.” There were only three banks on the island at the time, the first-estab- lished and more conservative being the Bank of Prince Edward Island; the second o. younger and more pro- gressive institution-the Union Bank of Prince Edward Island and the third a. newly-fledged project, the Merchants‘ Bank of Prince Edward Island. It was to the Union Bank that the contractors pledged their debentures amount the bank's total caplta... Even in good times it ‘is doubtful if this little-known community could have successfully floated the issue and with the crisis of the sev- enties already casting a gloomy pail ovcr most of the larger nations of the world, the task was impossible. The directors of the Union Bank became rightly nervous and it was partly their advice and persuasion, buttressed by the fear which the heavy taxation involved by the ven- ture would impose, which brought about the decision to reconsider the Confederation proposals. Thus, on July 1, 1873—the sixth birthday 0f Confederation-the Island became n part of the Dominion of Canada and the railway debt was thank- fully removed to federal shoulders. As to the actual circumstances surrounding the absorption of the ‘ Union Bank of Prince Edward Is- lnnd by its older and stronger Mari- time contemporary. we must recall that 1n 1873 world-wide panic had afflicted alike both Europe and America. The United States had suffered most heavily and in Sept- ember of that year many lending banks went to the wall following the cohapso of speculative railway- bullding projects in which they were interested. Industrial depression followed the panic and thousands of firms across the country were forc- cd into bankruptcy. In Britain and Europe the inevitable collapse fol- lowing the post-war excesses of the Franco-Prussian struggle was leav- ing economic havoc in its wake, while in Canada the slow and pain- ful liquidation of lumber and ship- ping was brought rudely to a head. Finally-almost two years later- the world-wide ravages of depres- ~ sion reached the sheltered little isle in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The first serious shock to the is- land's business community was the tlcally for our people to "buy at home." It says our merchants pay the taxes which sustain our gov- ernments, they contribute to our churches and charltiu, they give employment to our people and provide home markets for our farmers, and yet, it adds, man; r~f our people send their money ( other places, to people who do not contribute, and even to the United States. what an appeal? And how nobly patriotic and home loving? Surely a beautiful ideal of real Ca::nd’nn citizenship. But llow the partisan paradox spoils the beautiful picture and sours thc special pleading, when in another column. in thc same issue we read a tirade against the Can- adian Government for maintain- lng n. tariff that prevents those could be buyers at home from sending this money to the States.

This i account constituted an ail-fco-large l! proportion of the resources of the Merchants Bank of Prince Edward Island. and the other banks were, asked for their assistance to tide over the affairs of the stricken in- stitution. The situation appeared to be on the mend until the fall. of 1081 when the Bank of Prince Ed- ward Island, largest and oldest of the three institutions serving the Island, was forced into liquidation by' discovery that its cash had ab- soonded and that lose had been in- curred to the’ extent of nearly $400,- 000 or twice the amount of paid-up capital. Rune commenced on both the other banks and although still sol- vent tho Union Bank of Prince Ed- ward Island decided it was the pert of wisdom to nrnaigamate with some stronger institution. On Sept. 12. 1882, tile directors of The Bank. of Nova Scotin approved a. plan of ab- sorption which was consummated in October of the following year. Early in 1883, while these negotia- tions were still under way, the Mer- chants Bank of Prince Edward Ia- land came to a realization that it had never really recovered from the loss sustained by the Duncan fall- urc in 1878 and correspondence was opened for its absorption. The only offer received was from The Bank of Nova Scotla but as it only pro- ferred $10,000 for goodwill, over and above net worth of assets, the pro- posal was rejected. Subsequently I this bank carried on under a new . board of directors until it was ev- ' entually absorbed by the Canadian Bank of Commerce in 1906. Many benefits [accrued to the Bank of Nova Scotla from this un- fortunate financial dilemma of a neighboring province. Firstly, It en- abled the Bank to become we]! es- tabllshed on the Island, and through l thc failure of the Bunk of Prince Edward Island ft took over the fine head office building of that institu- tion in cilarlottetown.
