You reckless men and women who

®It is a sticky ether compound which

BY JOHN W. 8. McCULLOUGH, M.D., D,P,H„ CHIEF OFFICER,
t OF TIMPPROVINCIAL BOARD OF HEALTH
FRIEND of the writer in discussing the importance of promoting
social Iife in the country brought out the importance of utilizing
the country schools for the purpose of the education of the
farmer's boys and girls in respect to the possibilities of Canada,
and particularly of our own Province of Ontario. He pointed out
that by co-ordinating the activities of the various departments of the Gov-
ernment, the agpiculturai, the educational, the -structural and the institu-
tional including the nubile health department, and showing then in the
form of film pictures a most useful and entertaining social (-trate might he
formed in each rural school section. A most satisfactory film machine, pro-
ducing excellent pictures, can bo purchased for about 1225,00 or in large
numbers perhaps for about half that sum. If the
SOCIAL LIFE IN ':overnntent would provide the picture films and to the
THE COUNTRY botch one' add those illustrating the geography, history,
and scenery of other countries what an educational
feature neig.it, be established. There is no limit to what it might ac;tiev?l
In aidition, the film pictures which have been shown all over
tit,- province by the Provincial Board of Health might be advantageously
introduced and prove of lasting benefit to every community, There are
enormous educational opnortuuities in the moving picture. Its valuable
features are not confined to the Charlie Chaplin variety so much exploited
in cities and towns; beyond all these it has an importance and value which
will bo realiz'td before many' years have passed by.
r
Patent medicines have had a wide use in this as well as in older coun-
tries, Great fortunes have -been made by their exploitation, the chief cause
of their success being not in the value of the remedies themselves hut in
the skilful manner in which they are advertised. The trade
PATENT in patent medicines has not been as successful in recent years
MEDICINES tts formerly. One reason is that the public is better educated
than it used to be and the truth as to the character and use-
fulness of these remedies has been placed before the people, The rank
fraud found in many cases,. the absurd promises of cure for every kind of
i11, which have been advertised, and the knowledge of the great mass of the
people that these promises have not been made good have made people wary
of purchase. There is a question if, any patent medicine is of much value.
There is no doubt that many of them are a downright injury to those using
them.
The American Medical Association, through its Journal, has done an
enormous service to the people of Amer1ca by its exposure of the frauds
practised upon the public by the hundreds of so-called "cures" sold under
the guise of Cancer cures, Consumption' cures, cures for drunkenness, for
female sickness, for baldness, obesity, and hundreds of other human ills. If
the patent medicines of .a past generation had possessed the power claimed
for them they would have continued to sell them no longer advertised; or,
if there was no sale tor them, it would be because they had banished sick-
ness from the earth.
Of the patent medicine fakes perhaps the greatest have been those
purporting to cure consumption or tuberculosis of the lungs. Few place -
any reliance upon such advertised remedies for consumption nowadays, be-
cause the knowledge bas been spread far and wide that
CONSUMPTION consumption is cured only by means of living in the. fresh
CJUKES air, by rest, by good food, and by abstinence from alcohol.
No medicine is of any value in the treatment of the dis-
ease except such as promote the appetite and allay cough, pain, and other
complications. The death -rate from tuberculosis in Ontario as well as in all
civilized countries has been materially reduced of late years. In 1901 the
death -rate in Ontario was 148 per 100,000 'of .population, To -day, thanks
to increased application of knowledge in regard to this disease, the rate 141
85 per 100,000 of population. This death rate is still capable of much
reduction, 1'11 fact if people utilized all the knowledge we have of it the
dieease would be wiped out in the next gener41iion and a death from cen-
sumption would be ms rare as a death from smallpox, People are learning
not to fear fresh air, They do not seek to keep it out of their homes. Milk
from tuberculous cows, the greatest cause of tuberculosis fu children, is
pasteurized and the germs of the disease killed in the mills supply of most
Miles, etf our Many antf-tvberonlosin societies have been established all over
