A. kind Providence lags nr. ran(ed that children for a. certain tinge cannot take solid food, by not providing them with teeth to ntasti. trate it; yet people will ineist on forc. fig food of that kind down their chit- in dren's throats, and when the poor children teulfer the mothers try to stop thele from crying by giving thein more starchy food. Ie it any wonder they die? It is not mturnl for a child to die, because it is young and has all the elements of vitality in it, This ale slaughter of the innocents, this terri- ble death rate among children, is something • the government should take up. The resolution before us to -day I regard as one of the most important ever brought before this House, and 3,00 1 am sure it will have far-reaching .23 effects. The people living in this country twenty years hence will, I have no doubt, look back in wonder and pity at the time when the Cana- dian people spent hundreds of thou- sands of dollars every year to bring in half-crazy Russians and other foreign- ers to take the place of their own poor dead children, whose lives might have been saved by the expenditure of about one-tenth of the money. Take one single preventable disease as an example, Not many years ago con- sumption was looked upon as heredi- tary and incurable. Those who were afflicted with it looked forward to 3•) nothing but death; they did not think an it was possible that they could get ly any assistance. Ignorantly and un - ft consciously they spread the disease ed in every direction. But since that al great German ,professor, Dr. Koch, ed has discovered the germ of the disease, st the tubercular bacillus, great changes e. have taken place. Consumption, if d taken in its first or incipient stages. for is not only now considered curable, he but'it has been found that, with the g exception of some races and families re born with physical defects and weak- ce ened constitutions, the children of ty consumptive parents, if removed to e healthy surroundings immediately af- is ter birth, are no more susceptible to o- the disease than others. But although r. consumption is not strictly hereditary, x- it is very easily and readily cominuni- e cable. An ignorant or.careless patient nt expectorates, and the sputa which is n comparatively harmless while moist, n soon becomes dry and disintegrated, nt and escapes into the atmosphere in m the form of very fine dust. This pass- t- es into the lungs of those unfortunate d enough to breath that germ -laden air. for When the tubercular bacilli pass into d the lungs they are retained and in- n. vigorated by the moisture and heat of of the body, and in some cases increase ar with appalling rapidity. It has been t- estirnated that a single patient in the t last stages of consumption will dis- e tribute seven thousand million - of it these bacilli in a single day. The e- mind of man can scarcely grasp the val meaning of such a number. Think of e what a menace such a person is to the e community. Naturally we are afraid n of savage animals, such as bears, a wolves and rattle snakes, but all the f wild animals and venomous serpents 11 in the Dominion of Canada do not - destroy' one -thousandth part of the ell number of people killed by these Gon- d sumptive germs. Nearly one death - out of every ten in the Dominion of - Canada is caused by tubercular bacilli. fe A bonus is being given by the govern- , ment for the destruction of wolves. d Why should not the government give d a reward for the discovery of some t system or process which, without in- jury to the patient, would destroy or - prevent the distribution of ttibercular e bacilli? That would be an easy mat- . ter ; it would not cost a great deal, a and it might have wonderful results. e Sanitaria have already accomplished - a wonderful work, and they have been g the source of a great deal of useful - information to the people at large, s but it is well to remember that if e every sanitarium in the Dominion of d Canada were now filled to its fullest d capacity, forty-nine out of every fifty , consumptives would still be abroad in the country spreading the disease. Many a poor man, the bread -winner . of his family, is compelled to work on s and on, a menace to his companions e in the shop or the faetory, until with- in a few days of his death, for he `has s not sueicient Inoney to pay his way to a sanitarium, let alone support his - family during his absence. Therefore I would say to the members of the government, something must be done to aid the poor man in his home if we are to conquer this terrible malady. The people, as the hon. member for e Hants has said, must be warned and must be instructed. They must be t taught that the destruction of the 1 sputa, while moist and comparatively harmless, is of the utmost importance, They must also he taught that sun. light, fresh air, cheerful company and good food are important factors in the f treatment, Nearly fifty thousand of f the people of Canada are afieted with this disease at the present time ; ten t thousand of our inhabitants die from e its effects every year. The'' govern- ment are spending vast sums of money to prevent the spread of tuber= y culosis among cattle. Surely the peo- o ple of Canada will sanction the ex- t pendttere of an equal stun to prevent c the spread of that terrible disease among themselves. The government spend hundreds of thousantle of dol- lars every year to bring in itnmt. grants. Would it riot be well to use part of that moue to sane y bur c�wn people, who are always our most vain - able and useful citizens?

(Frons Hansard, pages 2657 to 260 Mia. SPEAKEn.-The hon. gentlem from Rants (lar. Black) has so ful treated this subject that he has le little for me to say. He has present to the House an array of medic opinions and of the views express by boards of health which, surely mu snake an impression on the Hous The hon. gentleman has done goo work in bringing this matter up discussion at the present time. T prevention of disease and the swain of the lives of our Canadian people a questions of such vital impartan that I certainly consider it my du to say something in support of th motion of my hon. friend. Weight added to the words of warning pr nounced' by the hon. gentleman (M Black) because of his age and his e perienco as a medical man, and th 'act that he is either a past preside or vice-president of the Canadia Medical Association, Such a plai and strong and unvarnished complai coming from such a source, and fro one of the government's own suppor rs, should surely and promptly lea o the adoption of active measures he dissemination of information an he prevention of disease. The ho gentleman has told us that 27,000 he people of Canada die every ye rom diseases that might be preven d. That is a startling statement bu t is absolutely true. I endorse all th on. gentleman has said about of bility to prevent diseases by the d truction of germs and by the remov filthy matter which is always th come and breeding place of thes arms. The hon. gentletnan has give s an accurate although perhaps omewhat disagreeable description o he manner in which typhoid bacii re conveyed from one person to an ther, and of the fearful danger whic • incurred by drinking contaminate ater. The slaughter of the inno ents which the hon. gentleman men Toned and the fearful loss of li mong infant children, is mostly due s he said, to parental ignorance an t can therefore be easily guarde gainst. In France not long since, i 'as found that the death rate was xceeding the birth rate and that con equently the. population of Franc as diminishing instead of increasing he French government appointed onrmission to enquire into the caus f this, and that commission after sit ng for several months and takin vkdence in various parts of the coup y made a report in which it wa ated that the death rate in Franc as mostly due to the very great an xcessive number of children who die efore they were one year of age hich bears out the contention which e hon. gentleman (Mr. Black) has so bly presented to the House to -day he report went on to say that thi ight be prevented -by instructing th others not to use foul bottles, not to e bottles with long rubber neck den with germs, and that the bottles could be thoroughly disinfected be re being used. The report went on explain that children should not t starchy food before they were one ar old; that they should have teeth fore they are given such food, for, a kind Providence had intended at infant children should eat the oducts of wheat and of corn he ould have given them teeth to eat with. But people insist on feeding to in- nts starchy food, which is not suita- o for their digestion. There is no rmer or cheese -maker in Canada ho does clot know that a calf's ontach is very different from that of cow. He would not think of feeding calf on hay, because he knows that ilk is the natural food of a calf. In e same way y milk is the natural and oper food fora child, and it should t be fed on starchy food. I pre• me that in the Garden of Eden ere eves no roller troll, so that if dam and Eve ate wheat at all, they ust have ground it in their mouths tween their tenth. In doing this ey would be obeying the laws of at til because t'o h bran would old go a tit the flour and the whole plass uld be thoroughly mixed with the iva before being swallowed, Did it er strike you • that Eve, when tiers. g Cain and Abel, would give thein a ndful of wheat 7 Hoabsttrd is e suggestion l' Stili, that is ;"sracti• ly What many of ntlr people are or recti, or leper houses, in Europe. Ninety-five of These were in the I3ritish isles. But even in that untu- tored and unlettered age, by isolation alone, that horrible disease was almost entirely stalnped out of the country. The last l3ritish leper died in the Shetland islands 109 years ago. It is therefore plain that not only con- sumption, but typhoid fever -a disease which need not at all exist -small- pox, anthrax, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough and a. host of other diseases can be absolute- ly prevented if the people of this coun- try aro really in earnest- and the gov- ernment will do their duty. There are other diseases for the prevention of which a great deal might be done, We should have a commissioner of health appointed, whose duty it would be to distribute information and give people instruction regarding the laws of health. For example, there are a great many people in this country, not engaged in active manu- al labour, but in sedentary employ- tnent which keeps them indoors -.-the great majority of these people eat too much. They take a greater quantity of food into their system than is re- quired. Only a certain portion of this can be assimilated. Tho balance goes to decay and rot in the system, It generates irritating acids and other poisonous materials which injure the health. The eliminating organs are continually over-worked, and the result is diseases, such as indigestion, cancer, gall stones, kidney diseases, which could be easily prevented. Take the case of a common cold as a simple example, Any medical man will tell you that a cold is generally caused in this way. There are 2,000 little pores, open doors, as it were, in every single inch of t;t" human skin. When you go into the cold, the pores contractt and be o n C t e closed. Nature u generally throws out an immense amount of refuse from the system through the skin, but when those pores are closed up that material has to go elsewhere. If you follow the skin on. the outside, over your lips, down through your throat, and all the way down through the tubes into the lungs, yon will find a skin called the mucous membrane on the inside. That is not exposed to cold, its pores are not closed up, and the material that should be thrown outside the system is thrown through these unclosed pores on the lungs and this creates a cold. If that material comes so quickly that you cannot get rid of it, you have inflammation of the lungs. The proper remedy would be to open the 'pores. If people under- stood exactly what caused a common cold, they would know that all they have to do is to open the pores, Let them take a large quantity of fluid into the system, and if they go to bed they will have a profuse perspiration. But the great mass of the people think that they do not need to take any fluid. They take a sweating pow- der without the fluid, and that weak- ens them. Some hon. MEMBERS. What kind of fluid ? Mr. T. CHISHOLM. Water, There are some people who take too much fluid of the wrong kind, I adroit, but there are a good many others who do not take enough fluid of the right kind. It is just as necessary that we should take a snf oient amount of fluid as that we should not take too great a quantity of food. As a medi- cal man, I frequently found an old lady come to see me and complain of certain troubles, and I say to her : You are drinking too tnuch tea per- haps. Oh no, she would reply, I only just drink three little cupfuls -a small one at breakfast, another at noon and another at night. ''No other fluid," I would say, and she would answer "no snore." I could have told her that nature required that she should take about eight or ten cupfuls every day to carry off the refuse; but by putting the question the way I did, she would say she only took a small quantity and then wonder that she was not welt. A great many take too much fluid at the wrong time. If they would take a good drink of hot or even cold water, for that matter. they would find that it would do a great deal more good. We should have an officer of the government whose duty it would be to spread information which would assist the people in guarding against disease. After spending a lifetime in the praetice of my profession, I am satis- fled that far more than half of the diseases and deaths before sixty years of age in this country can be prevent - d. The people must understand what the laws of health aro and what he laws of nature are, They mnst be nstrueted in those laws. There is not stn old man going around the country with a steam engine and thresher who Will not tell you that when the machine stops, he must take away the uel. But you will get any amount of armers who, after working hard all their lives, come into town to take hings easy, They bring their femu- rs' appetites with thele, they eat too mucic, and the Consequence is their tverage life in the town is only five ears. If people understood the laws f health and tvonlcl follow thein out, hat would bo a great benefit to the oantt•y. They must be taught to understand that although they may break the lame of the land and avoid detection and punishment, there Is no way of escaping the consequences if they break the laws of nature. However Mr. . Speaker, , p , a s I know there are several gentlemen to follow the, and as I have taken more time than I intended, T shall now eoneittde and hav eI� g in real l�astit' e seconding the motion. I trust that the govern. inept will see thele way to support it and take steps to give it practical effect.
