Canadian Made No doubt Lou will agree that if quality and price are equal every Canadian should buy Cauatlian trade goods in preaerenee to auy others. Not only is it patriotic ---it's sound common sense. The ruoney spent for Canadian gorls goes to build up Canadian industries and prosperity, sad snakes it easier for every Canadian to earn a good living. On the other hand, money spent for foreign mane goods goes out of the country to pay foreigners—not to benefit Canadians. Toilet and Medicinal Preparations are compounded In Canada from the purest ink •edteuts which money can buy. The National ;)res; and Chemical Conil.:.ny of Canada returns to Canadians in employees' salaries, dividends and other expense disbursements, close to One Million Dollars a year. In addition to this we spend millions every year in Canada for raw materials, tilts, bottles, labels, boxes and other supplies, giving employment to hundreds of Canadian tinsmiths, glass workers, paper makers, printers, lithographers, bog makers, and others. So even if NA-DRt'-CO goods were only "just as good" as those imported from other countries, you would by following a sensible and patriotic course in buying them. As a matter of fact, though, NA•DRt'-CO Toilet and Medicinal Preparations are better than those imported.

Soirto ir-ssissestlug notes on can- cer research l re; given in a. recent number of 'i'he New York Times. Last year Dr. Eugene Hudcnpyl, pathologist to the ltvusetelt Hospi- tal, found that au abdominal fluid wbicll developed in the case of a patient suffeaing with cancer et the liter when injected into other can- cerous patients caused the growths enter to disappear or resulted in improvement in the condition of the patients. lie did not claim that he had <Recovered a euro for this dis- prise, but simply staked the fact. Dr. Hodcnpyl has silico died. At the time of Lr. Hodenpyl's iieath forty-seven patients had j been treate4 along the lines indi- cated by his discovery. Sonic of them apparently had been cured; the remainder, it has been report- ed. show marked improvement. In { siew of these facts it is now inter- esting to auto that analogous treatinont on the pal -t- of other phy • sicians is producing favorable and ENCOURAGING RESULTS. Since then Dr. J. W. Vaughn has written an article on the sub- ject, which is summarized in The New York Medical Journal. Vaughn says that the recent w(-rks concerning the chemistry of the bacterial cell tend to prove that bacterial infections, especially o' the h•tic type, a ferment is formed which is capable of destroy- ing the bacterial cell through the injection of the specific "residue" of that bacterial cell within the hu- man body. With this in mind, he has at- tempted likewise to induce the for- mation of a ferment within the hu- man body wkich is capable of de- stroying the cancer cell through the injections of its non-toxic resi- due into the body from which the cancer was obtained. Examples of the formation of such a substance within the host through normal cir- cumstances might explain the few cases of apparent self -cure of eah- (•er which have been observed, some of which cannot be denied. The method Vaughn used is the follow- ing: THE CANCER MATERIAL is disse:ted as freely as possible from all surrounding tissues, after v h,ch it is grcund up. The ma- terial is next washed with water, dilute salt solution, alcohol, and, lastly, ether. This process removes salts, fats. wax, several proteid bodies, and traces of carbohy- drates. The remaining substance is then heated in a flask with a re- flux condenser with from fifteen to twenty times its weight of a 2 per cent. solution of sodium hydroxide .n a•bsoluto alcohol, and by this means it is split into a toxic and a non-toxic group. Tho toefe portion is soluble in the al( ohol, the non-txie is insoluble, and it is with this portion we have tar deal. Vaughn retorts eight cases treat- ed with this serum. Immediately after the first injection of cancer residue e .rh r u the symptomOf pain ceas- es While the growth of new tissue in all patient, treated has not been entirely stopl,e;l, yet it may safely be stated that- its rapidity has been lessened.
