A HEALTH SERVICE OF , THE CANADIAN MEDICAL \ ASSOCIATION AND LIFERS INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA PLEURISY Beneath the ribs lies a two-layer membrane forming a sac which en closes the lungs. Pleurisy is an in flammation o(f this membrane. When an inflamed surface is rubbed, it hurts, and when two inflamed surfac es rub together, there is real pain — pain that is sharp, stabbing, sometim es agonizing — the chief symptom of pleurisy. The onset may be gradual; there is a sense of weakness, loss of weight, often a dry cough, and, sooner or later, a pain in the chest which may first be noticed in the early hours of the day, even rousing the patient from a sound sleep. A sudden onset with a chill, assoc iated with a comparatively high tem perature, cough and severe pain, is the beginning of an acute pleurisy. The pain may be in the front or back of the chest; in cither case it is sev ere. Pain is relieved by strapping the chest with adhesive plaster to hold the diseased side quiet and so to pre vent the rubbing of the inflamed pleura which causes the pain. Fluid may form, and the Collection of fluid in the pleural sac ends the pain by separating the inflamed surfaces. Usually, after a time, the fluid is absorbed, but unfortunately, in a few cases, pus is formed; this condition is called “empyema” —• pus in the pleur al cavity. The pus is released by op eration. Pain in the chest may be due to causes other than pleurisy. As wc have seen, there is dry pleurisy, pleur isy with effusion, and pleurisy with pus (empyema). Every sufferer from ' pleurisy requires medical care. This is true for mild and dry pleurisy as well as for the acute and severe forms. Just as pain in the chest is more often not pleurisy than it Is pleurisy, so the pleurisy itself may be due to any otic of several causes. There is, however, only one way to treat pleurisy, and that is to look upon it as a warning that tuberculosis is pro bably present in the body, Premier Keisuke Okado, reported assassinated in the Japanese militar ist coup, is now reported safe in the Imperial Palace at Tokio. It is claim- This is not intended to alarm the sufferer- from pleurisy; rather it is a warning which should be welcomed, for if it is, and proper care is taken, the chances are all in favour of pre vention of the development of tuber culosis. This means that pleurisy should be treated by a long period of rest under a routine similar to sana torium care. Then follows a hygien ic life, under medical supervision, which provides sufficient rest, good food, exercise, fresh air and sunshine. Questions concerning Health, ad dressed to the Canadian Medical As sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. TESTEDJRECIPES ICE CREAM IN WINTER Ice cream has many qualities which commend its extensive use, not only for parties, but as a regular family dessert throughout the winter season. Made principally of milk and cream, ice cream is a nutritious, wholesome and easily digestible food. Because of its vitamin content alone, ice cream earns for itself a place in the winter dietary, since it is a splendid source of the vitamin found to be a safe guard against winter colds. In addition, the butterfat in ice cream, and the sugar which it con tains, provide the heat which the body needs to combat cold. It can be truly said that no other food so deliciously combines food and health value with appetite appeal. In' health returns money spent for ice cream is well, wisely spent.

GRAFTING FRUIT TREES (Experimental Farms Note) Grafting is done to secure fruit similar to that produced on the tree from which the grafting wood is tak en. One-year-old .wood «is used for scions. The growth habit above a graft does not influence the growth below, and vice versa, nor is the fruit changed because of the variety graft ed into. Many varieties may be grown true to kind on the same tree. Be cause this is possible the changing over of trees from one variety to an other is extensively practised by ap ple growers. Growth takes place between the wood and the bark, in a layer called the cambium. The important thing in grafting is to have the cambium lay ers united. Because new layers of bark are made each year, it is obvi ous that the bark on an old branch is thicker than that on a year-old I branch, and to place the outer edges of the bark in line would not bring the cambium layers together and growth would not result. Judgment and care when doing the grafting are of the utmost importance in order to effect a proper union. The wood in which the scion is to be placed may be several inches in diameter, or only a little larger than the scion itself. Wood up to 2^ in ches in diameter is generally grafted by cutting off the stem six inches above a lower branch. This stub is split through the centre and spread apart for inserting two wedge-shaped scions, one at each side. This is call ed; cleft-grafting. These scions are firmly held in place by the pressure of the split wood. The parts of the injured wood are covered with graft ing wax to keep out air and water, and prevent drying out of the wood, thus insuring a proper growth. Large branches not readily cleft-grafted arc grafted along the edge of the bark, placing the scions 2 to 3 inches apart. Branches too small for cleft grafting are usually side-grafted. Below the stub to be grafted a branch should be left to insure sap circulation and growth in the branch. If the scions grow’, these branches that were left are removed the fol lowing year, in part at least. It is not advisable to remove more than one-third or one-half of the top of a tree the first year. By a judicious selection of branches evenly spaced around, the tree on the main branch es, the tree may be grafted over at one time. Grafting should be done before the buds start to swell, usually from the first to the middle qf May. A good wax is made of 5 pounds of resin, 1 pound of beeswax and 1 pint of raw linseed oil melted together. This is poured info water and when coot enough Is worked by pulling until light yellow in colour, This is later made pliable for use by slight heat ing In the sun, or by the hands, using a little soap to prevent sticking tq* the hands. Information on grafting and varieties to use is available at the Dominion Experimental Station, Kentville, N.S., or other similar Sta tions.
