ten there and did not again 'see the

the tree was being out up at the

got its revenge for its • long neglect

There passed- away at has h,ome in
Auburn on Tuesday, February 26th,
William Beverley Patterson, one of
the oldest residents of the village, in.
his 85th year. Mr. Patterson had
been ill for some time and, his death
was not unexpected. He was born
in Beverley and was the son of Wil-
liam and Barbara Patterson_ Sdxty-
one years ago he came' to Auburn
where he followsed the occupation of
framer. It was interesting to hear
'him tell of how they worked at that
time. Ater log barns were done ee
way witch_ he used to take contracts
for frame barns at e1 a foot accord-
ing to the length of the barn. He
w'euld take his men to the bushes of
the farmers who wanted the 'barns.
There in the winter they would hew
out the timber's necessary for the
framle. They would team it out to
the site of the building and then go.
on to the next farm Then in the
spring he would go back and frame
the timbers of the barn, superintend
the raising, side cru the walls, board
and shingle the roof, lay the floors,
hang the doors and build the granary
all at the 'price specified. Thus a 60 -
foot barn would cost $60 complete.
When he had been 'in this part 'sof the
country for about foulr years he
went with a party organized 'by Thos.
Greenway, later Premier of Manitoba,
to that Western 'Province, Many of
the men ' •wtho went from this, county
were from Londeslbore. The C.P.R.
was not running across Canada then,
so they crossed the border at Pont
Huron and went through the States
to North Dakota and up into M'ani-
ttorba. They had great difficulty with
the officials getting into the States
and just about as much trouble get-
ting 'back. They settled at Londes-
boro 'settlement not far from Pilot
'Mound. Mr: Patterson did not stay
very long but returned to Auburn.
Thirty-five years ago on March 20th
he married Sarah Jane Gooier, daugh-
ter of John and ISapbia Govier, who
lived on the farm now occupied by
Herbert 'Gooier on the Base Line. The
last grieve of week Mr. 'Patterson did
was to move their present home from
the Goroier farm on :the Base Line
and rebuild it where it now is on the
Blyth road, just at the east end of
the village. There was iib family.
Besides 1ria sorrowing 'wife, he •ie•
survived by one'brother, David, aged
8', and one sister, Mrs. Derby, both
of Beverley. The funeral was bele
from Knot United Church on Thurs-
day afternoon at 2.30 to !.all's ceme-

NEURITIS
Those who look well usually get
but little sympathy. Those who suf-
fer, and .some do suffer intensely,
from neuritis, seldom show any evi-
dence of their affliction. Neuritis is
an inflammation which may be limit-
ed to one nerve, or it may spread to
several.
Nerves are cord-like in appearance,
consisting of many nerve fibres or
strands bound together under a cov-
ering or sheath, The inflammation
Imlay be" confined to the sheath, or it
may spread in to the nerve fibres.
There are several kinds of nerves.
The sensory nerves carry messages
from the outside and the response is
carried back by the motor nerves.
Touch a hot stove, and the sensory
nerves of the skin flash a message
to the brain which immediately,
through the motor nerves to the hand,
withdraws the hand from the hot
stove. It all happens so quickly that
it seems hardly possible for messages
to have time to pass back and forth,
but so it is. A nerve may have 'both
sensory and motor fibres; it is then
known as a . nixed nerve.
• It follows, from this explanation,
that the symptoms of neuritis will
wary according .to 'w'hich kind of
nerve is inflamed. The outstanding
symptom is pain which may be either
a steady, dull ache or sharp stabs.
The nerve itself is sensitive when
pressed upon, and sometimes 'the
skin sever the nerve is red and swol-
len.
..'ef it is a motor nerve which is
inflamed, then there is loss of func-
tion, partial or complete, in the part
supplied by the nerve. Inflammation
of the sensory or mixed nerve will
cause an itching or tingling and pos-
sibly loss of sensation with pain.
Neuritis may be due to causes act-
ing directly on the nerve. Exposure
to cold is a common cause, and the
nerves of the face suffer most frolm
this. Injury of the nerve, or pres-
sure on the nerve as a result of
growth or disease in adjacent parts,
may be responsible.
Neuritis is a fairly common cone-
plication
onnplication of many abnormal condi-
tions of the body. ,,Any disease that
is caused by germs may be compli-
cated by neuritis because the toxins
or poisons which the germs produce
Imlay attack the nerves. Alcohol is
not an unusual cause, notably in wo-
men. Exposure to arsenic, lead and
other meetalIic poisons, due to occu-
pation, may lead to neuritis. An erpi-
demtic of neuritis in England was
traced to beer which had been con -
terminated with arsenic. Diseased!
teeth, tonsils and other focal infec-
tions are often the source of the trou-
ble.
Rest and heat usually give relief,
but cure depends upon finding the
'Caus'e.

dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation., 184 College Street, Toron-
