A -HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN' MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE' COMPANIES INCANADA HOCUS-POCUS Do you remember the patent med- icines and appliances that were so widely advertised twenty years ago? Did you ever stop to think what has become of the electric belt which was supposed to heal all manner of dis- eases? . Where are the marvellous cures of yesterday? The natural remedies, which for some reason inspired faith in the un- informed, have mostly gone. The el- ectric belt disappeared to give place. to some newer arrangement, which. makes hocus-pocus of later know- ledge and talks of ionization and po- tential electricity. The Dominion Governtnent, thru their Department of National De fence, protect the public of Canada in so far as the law allows, and as our law -makers, reflecting public op- inion, are gaining a better understand- ing- • of the danger to the public in medical hocus-pocus, the lawsre- garding patent medicines are being' gradually11Y strengthened. iiri an The patent toed c e danger does not lie in the medicine itself, but ra- ther that the use of patent medicines leads to self-medication, which is dangerous because it -postpones the securing of proper treatment The proper treatment of • a condition that is apparently trivial may be the only' means of preventing a serious or chronic condition There is nothing wrong with the cough mixture, bait if its use means delay in securing treatment for ttib- ercelosis, then the iriatter, is a serious one. We have no' particular aversion to Indian herbs and vegetable drugs, but when they are tised to treat indi- gestion which is the first symptom! and pecono cal able Syrup. Children love its delicious flavor. of cancer of the stomach, their use and the consequent delayin securi n g proper treatment may cause the pa- tient's death. A doctor does not treat symptoms. TIe can and, will relieve distressing symptoms, but the treatment he gives seeks the cause of the symptoms be- cause he knows that he must get at the cause if he is to do. any' good. A dose of morphine will relieve abdom- inal pain and put the patient to sleep, but if the pain is caused by an in- flamed nflamed appendix, then the appendix. must be treated and: the cause of the pain thus removed. Hocus-pocus may be veramusia Y %, because touch of it is clever, even if very little of it is new. Hocus-pocus in medicine, however, is dangerous for -all of • us because it turns ,our at- tention away from medical knowledge which is based upon research, inves- tigation and experience. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St, Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. HATCHERY AP- PROVAL POLICY The Revised Rules and Regulations for 1934 The rules and regulations of the Hatchery Approval .Policy of the Poultry Services, Live Stock Branch,. Dominion Department of Agriculture, as revised for 1934 have just been is sued, With the exception that an ad- dition has been made to rule 9, and that rules 13, 16, 18 and 23 are new, the rules and regulations are sub- stantially the same as this year. Rule 9 now reads: "The following records shall be kept posted andshall be open at all times to the Hatchery Inspector; (a) egg purchases; (b) chick purchases; (c) chick sales; (d) custom hatching; (e) advertising. Hatchery records shall be kept on forms approved by the Hatchery Ap- proval associations and the Dominion Department of Agriculture. A report on the .form provided for the purpose, shall be mailed promptly each hatch to the Hatchery 'Inspector." —(The last sentence is new.) The new rules are; '(No, 13) "The hatcheryman shall, before and during the hatching season, keep the Domin- ion Department of Agriculture in- formed as to the names and address- es of any agents or parties selling chicks for him." No. 16: "All chicks sold by an Ap- proved Hatchery shall be sold under their proper grades or classes, as de- cided by the Dominion Department of Agriculture." No. 18: "No `approved hatchery man shall advertise or sell chicks from the same hatchery gender more than one name." No.. 23; "When blood testing is ad- vertised the Dominion Department of Agriculture shall be furnished with a report, giving the name andaddress of the person or firm making the test, the number of birds tested; the num- ber of reactors and their disposal, This report must be on file with the Dominion Department of Agriculture before any advertising is approved for that hatchery." There is no fee charged under the Hatchery Approval Policy for flecks: inspected and approved under provin- cial flock approval policies in Alber- ta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Sco- tia and Prince Edward Island. All that is necessary is that the informa- tion in regard to the flocks be listed on the entry form when sent to the office of the Live Stock Commission- er, Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa, and that flocks be certified to by those in charge of the administ- ration of the Provincial Flock Policy. This year half of the flock approv- al fees for those not entered under Provincial Policies must be forward- ed with the application for entry un- der. the Hatchery Approval Policy to the Poultry Division, Live Stock. Branch, Ottawa. Check -Up on Radio Licenses Is Coming In a statement issued by L. H. Johnston of the Department of Mar- ines, Ottawa, it has been pointed- out that the period of grace which has been allowed owners of radio sets in which to take • out licenses for the current year has now expired and that steps are being taken to ensure compliance with . the license require- ments on the part of all owners of receiving sets. "All licenses issued before March 31, 1933e ;expired on that date," the statement said, "and under the law every owner of a re- ceiving set iii Canada must have a new license for the current year. The department has followed the policy of allowing owners a reasonable time to obtain the requisite new licenses, but this time of grace is now over and the work of checking up unli- censed sets is actively under way,. Persons who have not obtained new licenses are liable to prosecution. It is hoped that the reminder being giv- en will be sufficient to cause dilatory owners to tale out licenses at cnee.; and thus obviate the possible neces- sity of action being taken against them: The plumber was a mild sort of man, but he could not get away front the fact that his assistant was consti- tutionally lazy. For a long time be said nothing, but at last he could con- tain his exasperation no longer. "Lumme, 13i11," he continued, "you bother me, standin' there with both 'ands in your pockets! For goodness' sake take one of them out!" "When I was twenty my ambition was to save the world," "And now?" "Now. I'm satisfied if I can save a small part of my salary."
