A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA BO_ IL S According to Mark Twain; the best place' to have a boil is on the other fellow, a remark' which will, be 'ap- preciated by those who have suffered the pain and inconvenience of a boil which, more often than not, seems to select a most inopportune location. Boils are caused by germs, which, pentrating the skin, set up the inflam oration that goes on to the develop- ment of pus, the typical symptoms of what we know as a boil. These germs are constantly present on the skin and it is only under certain conditions that they seem to be able to penetrate the skin and to do harm. Those who are tired physically or mentally, those who, over -indulge in rich greasy foods, who take but little exercise and who are constipated these are the individuals upon whom boils most frequently appear. Boils occur more frequently in "win- ter than in summer because winter usually means fewer fresh fruits and green vegetables and less exercise. In summer, the skin is likely to be clean- er because we perspire more freely and bathe oftener. When we say that boils are caused by germs, it is simply another way of stating that boils are contagious.. It follows that clean hands and above all clean finger -nails will help guard against trouble, for if these are allow- ed, to remain dirty, they are more than likely to carry germs with the dirt to the skin they touch. ..Boils usually occur in crops. The condition which allowed the first one to develop, makes it easy for others to follow. Unless proper care is used in the treatment of the first boil, the germs may spread to another point and so, a second or third boil comes along. It is dangerous to squeeze a boil. Nature sets up a wall which holds the infection at this one place. A squeeze may break this defensive wall and so scatter the germs, leading .to a seri- ous, if not fatal, abscess. Poultices which soften the tissues and provide the heat and moisture which favour the growth of germs 'are, for these a good boy.". reasons, not to be used, A boil is an infection and should be dealt with properly so as to renios e the infection If a second boil ap- pears, ,ppears,.: there sliould,be'no iiEhiye- curing medical care";. ao that ;xis, sible causes may be investigated a,,00, the treatment decided upon. From what has been salfi, at +viii ,lie evident that prevention lres rr' a healthy body — the -product of g' od food, regular elimination, `together with cleanliness of body and under clothes.' Spread is 'controlled by pro- per care, not by careless home treat- ments.

It is particularly fitting that the Company's jubilee year should be marked by the appear- ance of an important book bear- ing on its history and the new volume by J. Murray' Gibbon, Whose pieture is shown above, will be the mare welcome on that nccot et. It Is entitled "Stool of Empire" and apart from its special interest to Canadian cific people tts "a most complete and interesting history of their own Company, it is se compre- hensive and faseinating a tale of the discovery and development of Canada that it will males a strong' appeal to all who are interested in this country. It is published by the Bobbs Merrill. Company the United States and by McClel- land & Stewart in Canada ,and appears as an extremely hand- some volume. Sixteen full colour illustrations and over two Iran: dreg in black and white help car- ry the interest throughout, aided by a series of eitpianatory neaps, It sells at $3.,50 a, copy.

Thus, he recalls that in the time of Queen .Ane the new demand for tea and the tre- mendous vogue for Chinese por- celain and for Chinese house dec- orations turned nxerbhant eyes; towards the Orient and sharpen- ed the desire to find the North West passage, in a, large sense - the book is the story of the: search for and the ultimate build- ing of a new road to the Pacific.
