For many years scientists and ex

natives of South Anierica to give them
courage before going into' battle,
Its long-delayed cliseoyei.7 has been
announced by the leader of the Mul-

to the natives wile use it as caapi or
ayawascoaaras obtained, in tiny quanti-
ties by the leader, of the expedition,
and it is being studied to see whether
it hasany value in medicine.
Caapi is obtained from the root and
bark of tae ayawasco vine, which
grows 'over the trees and reaches a
height of twenty or thirty feet Its
preparatioa is attended by an eta-

The drug is given to tlae natives by
the tribal cupbearer on the eve of a

• HEALTH EDUCATION
BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON
Provincial Board of Health, Ontario
rk. Middleton will be glad to answer querstIons on Public Health mats
ters through this column, Address him at Spadina Haus% Spa,clitita
Crescent. Torouto.
Partridge Island is the "Public
Health watchdog" for St. John, N.B.,
and incidentally one of the watchdogs
for Canada. • On this eocky island the
quarantine station stands, the sta-
tion where intraigrantrsuffering from
infectious -diseases, or contacts, are de-
tained till they are no longer a menace
the the public „health of the Dominion.
Probably the most up-to-date quaran-
tine station On, the American continent
is nearing toinpletion on that little
island guarding the harbor entrance
at St. John. A signal by wireless an-
nVunces that •a steamer, not yet vis-
ible on the horizon; -'in coming *up the
Bay of Fundy from a foreign port.
The wireless message includes the
name of the ship, the flag she flies,
where she comes from and whither
she is bound. This information is
immediately transmitted to the Port
Health Officer on Partridge Island.
Sometime later, a definite number of
blasts from her whistle announces
that the steamer is approaching the
quarantine stati-On and ealling for a
doctor, who has to go aboard ,andein-
spect the entire ship's personnel ef
passengers and crew. While I was
attending the Public Health congress
in St, John, N.B.,.I visited the quaran-
tine station on Partridge Island in
coT-apany with the Port Health Officer,
Dr. Rutherford. The new building that
is now nearing completion will include
the receiving and disinfecting of im-
migrants suffering from infectious
'diseases; in this builclling every ap-
pliance for the destruction of disease
germs 'will be provided. There are
rows' of shower baths and numerous
disinfecting tanks in which both steam
and antiseptic vapars are used; there
are separate entaantes nand exits for
immigrants passing through, and
every facility afforded for the conven-
ience of those held in quarantine.
There is it hospital of 15 beds for pa-
tients, and a large tre"tentiorebuilding
where -contacts are kept till all danger
of them contracting or transmitting
the disease that developed on ship-
board has passed. There is also a first
class laboratory on the island with a
laacteiijoglsi in charge.
The average citizen can hardly ap-
preciate the value of this quarantine
station and the' efficient work carried
on by the Port Health Officer and his
staff. Day and night they are on the
alert for approaching ships, every one
of which is boarded and a thorough
medical inspection made of the pas-
sengers and crew. If the bill of health
is clean as regards infectious disease,
all is well; if not, Partridge Island is
the home of the unfortunate until they
are no longer a menace to the health
of the people of Canada. Prevention
of disease is the watchword of the
quarantine officer, and his work is of
inestimable value in preventing the
admission or spread of infectious
disease.
