NEW CURE ADVANCED FOR CANCER DISEASE Liver Extract Successfully L Used sed' by Canadian adian Doctor. .'Liver extract is it a latest addition to the long list of weapons: with which medical science seeks to stem the ris- ing cancer death rate," writes Watson Davis in Current History Magazine. "The work has been initiated by Dr: John R. Howitt of the University of Western Ontario. He based his theory on the fact tlat the disproportionately large size of the Iiver during embry- onic life, when it does not secrete bile, suggested that it meet have some other function which might exorcise some influenceon the extraordinary growth that the human body under- goes during the embryonic period. As cancer is a manifestation of abnormal cellular growth, Dr. Howitt decided that the effect of the active principal of liver on such a growth would be worth trying. In his first experiment he injected extracts from the livers of pig ern bryes into cancerous mice. The results were so encouraging that liver extracts, this tine from beef, were tried on hopeless cases of human can- cer: too far gone for operation.' 'In one patient there was a complete disap- pearance of the tumor mass,' Dr. How- itt states in a report, 'in others still under treatment a reduction in the size of the growth has been noted. In every case the progress• of the disease has been arrested and the life of the patient prolonged beyond that of the prognosis given before the treatment commenced. No radical claims are advanced for this treatment, but the results obtained clinically have war- ranted a more extensive investigation, which is now being, carried on'" But the truth of the matter is that such superficial remedies as, the above de more than goody the root of that "stone cold" feeling being a faulty Cir-' oulattoii.

We cannot escape the cpnelusion that the drift from farm to city is the direct cause of a subsequent drift from Canada to' the Unified States. -Also that tate former cannot be re garded as a mere accident, but has a substantiscl social and economic .foun-. dation. Whether or not the causes can be' wholly eliminated is . a question which might possibly have to be ans- wered in,' the negative, 'because they are to a very large degree of world- wide occurrence.. That'this • exodus from farm to city in Canada could be severely checked is, however, a fact which'cannet be successfully refuted. • Our gross agricultural plant last year was worth 7% billion dollafo with a production of 1,710. million, which. represents solid, new wealth. If we take this total agricultural pro- duction and deduct the cash outlay of Canadian farmers for hired labor, seed and fertilizer, amounting to :385 million dollars, and allow 6 `iter cent. on capital invested in agriculture, or 450 million dollars, we get a net aver- age return to the individual 'farm op- erator of 3870 For his year's work, which must be shared by his wife and children, if any, who did productive, unpaid work on the farm. Applying it all on account of the farmers' own wages, however, on .a ten-hour day basis, we get an hour rate of 29 cents, Compared with ' factory_ workers _ at 56.1i, cents per hour, railroad workers 58,8 cents per hour, miners 83.4 cents per hour, and workers in building' trades 31.06 per hour, it doesnot look particularly. inviting, even" conceding thatthefarmer-. live* relit free, We have. apparently here ample explana- tion of the drift to the cities of our young Canadian'farm population. Mr. Otto IL Kahn, the famous Am- erican multi -millionaire .banker, deal- ing with the agricultural situation in the •United States, recently made the � following trenchant observations: "If there is; ono calling which hit 'nt higher` -claim than another upon the helpful consideration of the State it is that of the farmer, The farmer's problem is 'part of our problem. The farmer's 1vc._faro is an essential part of our welfare. "It is harmful and neonaeing to the commc.nwealth that so numerous and so valuable a portion of the popula- tion should feel dissatisfied and re- sentful and be without prosperity. The situation lends.itself' peculiarly to the incitements and wiles of the demagogue and to the plausible fig- ments of the economic visionary. "Both' justice and self-interest d•e- viand of the community nt large that every legitimate endeavor be put ,forth ov to the enol that the fernier's gr.- anoes' be redressed.
