Address hien et ag id a Horne, EIS Crescent, Toronto. . A fistula, or passage, means an opening which normally does not exist, communicating between the surface of the body and one of the internal organs. , Thus a gunshot' -wound that pene- trated the stomach and left. an open track behind it to the surface, would be a fistula of the stomach. There are ark fistulas of the lachrymal ducts' and salivary glands, but the common- est of all, the -one thatsis always meant when that word ,"fistula" is used, is that -which communicates between the bowel and the surface—strictly speak- ing, a fistula'in ano. How this arises is not always quite clear. Sometimes an abscess ,forms next the back pass age`and either breaks or is opened, by. the surgeon. This is known as- an ischio -rectal abscess, and very corn- nioniyleaves a• fistula behind it as a legacy. Fistulas are also rather 'liable to develop of their own accord in con- sumptives.' It has also been suggested that they may arise,by some 'foreign body such as a fishbone, penetrating the bowel and setting up a track of inflammation _outside it. In any case, the fistula forms and presents itself as an accomplished fact to be dealt with. Such a fistula may be of three different kinds. It may -run as a nar- row track from the skin around the anus and be blind otherwise. It may exist as a narrow track from the bowel, and be blind toward the skin external- ly. Or thirdly, it may run as a nar- row track from the skin externally to the bowel internally, and this is by far. the commonest type—a complete fistula. Do not runaway with the idea that a fistula is a big thing. It is sin one sense, because it always needs an op- peration before it cart be cured. But actually, in mere size, it is a, very small thing, and very difficult to find. A' patient is not likely to discover it himself. But there are certain symp- toms of which warning should be taken. There is' generally pain in the region of it and tenderness. There may also be slight ,streaks of blood and 'pus, and there is a general sense pf discomfort: Of course,' these symp- toms are generallyset down by •the patient as piles, but though piles are very common, they are not painful. unless they are inflamed,: and with piles there is always a lump, some- times of considerable size, either in- side or outside. What is the treat- ment of a fistula? Here, more than anywhere else, surgical treatment is essential. It ' is the only treatment: Otherwise the fistula will continue for- ever. No drugs and no paliative treatment are of the slightest use. An anaesthetic must be • given, and the fistula laid completely open, and al- lowed to heal from the bottom of it. This usually mean a month in . bed. There is no risk attached to it, and the cure is absolute and permanent.. I•lay stress on the "necessity of thie. surgical cure because -many people go on suffering pain. and discomfort and ill -health indefinitely just on account of the fact that they do mnot have some trouble in this region properly exam- ined, and go on and on regarding it as piles, and applying various sorts of ointments in the hope of a cure. Such "cure" will never occur. A fistula must be opened, and until' if its opened the subject of it will be a semi -invalid.

RHEUMATIC SUFFERERS May Obtaiu,Relieff by Enriching the Blood Supply. In the days ofour fathers and grand- fathers., rheumatism was thought to be the unavoidable penalty of middle lifeand old age. Almost every elderly person had rheumatism, as well as' many young people. It was 'thought that rheumatism was the mere effect of exposure to -cold and, damp, and it was treated , with. liniments and hot applications, which sometimes gave temporary relief, but did not remove the trouble. In these days there were many cripples. Now, medlcal science understands that rheumatism is a dis- ease of the blood, and that with good rich red blood any man or woman et any age can-dety rheumatism., There are many elderly .people who have never felt a twinge of rheumatism,' and many who have conquered ft by simply keeping their blood- rich and pure. The blood enriching qualities. of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills • is becoming every year more•bwidely known, and the more general use of these pills has robbed rheumatism of its terrors. At the first sign of poor blood, which is shown by loss of appetite, dull .skin and dim eyes, protect yourself against further ravages, of disease 1iy taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills•. They have helped thousands -1f you give them a fair trial they will not disappoint you.

Every work of art emanates from an interesting and absorbing idea. which seems to demand expression in. the most artisticand complete form. Especially is this the 'case in music, the most intimate and the' most intro- spective of all the arts. This magnifi- cent art depends for its effects. upon channels of its own. While the paint- er and the seuiptor• speaks directly to their public through a completed work, the musician on the other hand must ` depend upon' an, artistically trained interpreter. •His work Is not finished: when he places it -upon paper. Its value niay be raised or lowered de- pending upon the character and" the. training and -the talent of the one who , elects to perform the work. In the work of musical : art there slumbers . veil of notes aur stay under the o l es a f.l sleeping beauty awaiting the nittgle toucb of the interpreter ,.to bring alit• the loveliness:, to lite. ; Ithe interpreter` must first off all be a "real artist, otherwiseit' will .be im- possible for ben to liberate the -magi- cal vibrations bI the music.. In the work of the creative; musician there must naturally be more dependence l upon intuition and , and individuality, p re" the interpretive while with p civ artist' greater stress is laid upon the. extent { of his interpretive knowledge. What Is of greaterimportance to the inter- pretive artist is. that he shall know pot. merely the composer" anti,, his, work, but shall comprehend fIie nature of the musical receptivity of the public mind forwhich he must t ier min.
