At one time nnedical writersinsi ted upon malting a distinction Contagious and 'infectious diseases, but there is really very little difference. All diseases of either class are germ diseases, and are spread by means of germs, which are transmitted from the sick to the well either by direct con- tact, as in the ease of purely conta- gious disease, or indirectly by insects, food or water, toilet articles, toys and so forth. A few diseases are not transmitted from the sick to the well, but are caused by germs that are found in the soil or on articles that are handled in • TRE DOORTO HEALTH Is Through the Rich, Red Blood Dr, Williams' Pink Pills Actually Make. The blood is responsible for the health of the body. If it is good, dis- ease cannot exist. If it is bad, the door is shut against good health, dis- ease sease is bound to appear in one form or another, One person may be seised with rheumatism or sciatica, another with anaemia, indigestion, heart pal-, pitation, headaches or backaches, un- strung nerves, or any of the many other forms of ailment that comes when the blood is weak and watery. There is just one certain, speedy cur —Dr. Williams Piffle Pills. They make new, rich blood, and this good blood strengthens the whole systeminand ing trained the Dominion Government' maintains them and their families. Men needing artificial limbs are taken to Toronto, where these limbs are made and supplied without charge, Men with serious nerve disorders are treated specially in the Ontario Mili- tary Hospital at Cobourg. Each Provincial Government has ape pointed a Commission to help die,. charged men in securing steady and', remunerative work. The Dominion" Government, and other authorities and employers, systematically give pre- ference to returned soldiers when. fill- ing vacant positions. The public can and should co-oper- ate heartily in this urgently neces- sary work, by encouraging the men to take fullest advantage of the curative and educational opportunities given them, and afterwards by seeing that they get work. Local committees have for manybtowns, but anuc this much more has purpose be done in this Way. The treatment, most carefully car- ried out in accordance with the latest discoveries and the proved results of medical experience, includes 'many forms of strengthening exercises, often requiring special and costly ap- paratus; the scientific use of electric- ity, massage, and continuous baths for affected limbs; with wise dieting and fresh air as a matter of course. Occupation is often as necessary and beneficial as rest itself, in its cura- tive and strengthening effect on body and mind. Classes are therefore held at the hospitals, for instruction and practice in many arts and indus- tries, such as carpentry and wood- carving, metal and leather working,. typewriting and book-keeping,. zne- chanical drawing and elementary en- gineering, gardening, bee -keeping and ACHING TEETH RELIEVED AT HOME the course of daily life.

Insects are the greatest enemy of man in the way of disseminating dis- ease; typhus fever, malaria, yellow fever, the plague and a host of tropical diseases are occasionally so carried. But man himself is often the innocent carrier of infection, and the recent discovery that an apparent- ly healthy person may harbor the germs of infectious disease and trans- mit them to others with whom he comes into contact has presented a difficult problem to the sanitarian.
