ISEASE
Half of Britain's doctdrs do not smoke cigarettes:
Their quitting rate is, Dr. B. H. Bass believes, the high-
est of any group of males in the world. British doctors _
are also, he said, the only group which has managed
to cut down on the rate .of deaths from lung cancer.
The history of the British doctors was one of the
few encouraging facts related at a p:anary session of
the Canadian Tuberculosis, Association during its an-
nual meeting in Vancouver, by Dr. Bass, chief physi-
cian of the Good Hope Hospital, Birmingham, Eng-
land, as he urged all those interested in reducing chest
disease to work harder at persuading patients to give
up cigarette smoking.
It was conspicuous, said Dr. Bass, that tI4 patients
of doctors who have given up. smoking seem to have
less trouble in stopping than those whose doctors' still
smoke. 'Illustrating his lecture with slides, the Birm-
ingham physician showed pictures of patients suffer-
ing from a variety of conditions promoted by cigarette
smoking — gangrene, gastric ulceration, "tobacco an-
gina", coronary artery disease, coronary thrombosis
and emphysema and of course, lung cancer.
His last slide was of a jet airliner.
"If I were wealthy," he said, "I might invite you
to come With me on such a plane to some resort. Sup-
pose that as we were going up to the embarkation gate
it is announced that one in eight of these plares crashes
and that there are no survivors! Would you fly? .Yet
the statistics show that for those smoking 20 cigarettes
a day for 20 years, one in eight dies of lung cancer."

p.m. and asked for assistance from the the Blyth Department
after fighting the blaze for an hour. Lost in the fire weie 35 tons

"Why don't people listen?"
asked Mr. Clements. "I am blind.
I know that with perseverence, a
blind person can minimize his
handicap. But I know only too
well exactly what a blind person
misses. When I hear about kids
with firworks, I shiver. When I
hear about people with sore eyes
and headaches who say that they
will wait and see if it clears up
before they go to an eye doctor,
I shiver some more. They should

they may never see."

patient to another," the society
points out.
Tens of thousands of
arthritics have • been - given
striking and welcome relief and
many have been spared the
worst effects of crippling, thanks
to early diagnosis and proper
treatment. It is the aim' of every
physician to cure his patient —
to make him well. This is the
meaning of medicine. And this is
the reason for research.
In arthritis, as in other
diseases that afflict mankind,
diagnosis and treatment depend
on knowledge gathered over' the
Year's by research scientists. The
arthritic patient is no longer a
"hopeless case." At the same
time, many patients today do
not respond satisfactorily to
even . the most modern
treatment. And, of course, there
is still no known way to prevent
or cure the disease. The reason
for research — for ever-widening
research — is clear.
