COLLEGE $Te TORONTO.,
Dear Mr. Editor:-•_,
.R•ecent' discoveries to medical
e•cience have called ,attention to tlie. .
great service rendered by an up-to-
date hospital through • facilities pro-
vided for ` research. 'Probably : few
laymen • . appreciate the .amount ,of, `.
this work conducted ' under the
auspices of the .Hospital for "tek
Children.: Yet it fe only by intensive
study of . the causes of children's
diseaseethat thehospita4 staff has
been able to 'r establish a' world -
'famous record for cures.. Statistics
show that the rate of infant mortal-,"
ity. in•`this,;Proviace has been steadily
decreasing, until it Is uow among'
the lowest in the world, What` that
means is that hundreds'. of Ontario
parents owe tlieir children's lives to
the research worlt in the laboratories
of the Hospital for Sick Children.
Although the doctors , give their
services "freely, the bills for equip-
ment add up annually to . a good
many thousands :of,•doilars. But in.,
view. of. the results attained; I feel
that. not one of your readers will
cavil at the money so epent, and I
confidently venture the_ hope that
many of them at this Christmas' sea-
son will vishsto enrol themselves In'
the Hospital's campaign on behalf of
Ontario's childhood.
To carry on :this research work
there is net 0A0 .cent except what
comes in from voluntary subscrip-
tions _.t.For the care of the children
oceupyri<ig hospital cots' there are
certain statutory' grants, but these
represent scarcely more than 'half
what the .Hospital needs:. 'Last 'Year,
.for instance, the Hospital doctors
looked after an average of 253 in-
patients and 192 out-patients daily.
Q'ulte 'a colony of.ailing 'youngsters!
And the expenditure :— -although
Whittled down to the minimum com-
mensurate with efficiency — was
$318,917. The income to the extent
of at least $10'0,000 depends ':upon•
the regard which the .people of On-
tario have for the Hospital's work
and the generosity"with which;: they
express that regard.
May'I ask you, Mr.• Editor; to paint
out to your readers that :entice the
establishment• of the Hospital, for
Sick Children, '•at .least. four more
Ontarioyoungsters in every hundred"
have...survived the trials of child -
'hood? For •with that simple state-
ment of fact brought .to their 'atten-
tion I feel sure that many of them
will bestow their benediction upon
the work of the 3hospital for Sick.

�CAUSE OF BACKACHES
Every muscle: in the body 'needs ,a'
supply of rich, red blood in proportion
to the work it does. The muscles of
the back are under a heavy strain and
have but little rest. When the blood
is thin they lacknourishment and re-
bel."
ebel.•. The result is a sensation bf' pain
in these muscles.
Many people are frightened into be-
lieving that backaches are due to kid-
ney trouble, but the bestmedical
authorities agree that backache is
very seldom duo to kidney trouble. in
fact no -more than one backache in a
hundred has, anything to do with the
kidneys. The whole trouble is ;due to
thin or impure blood, and those who
are troubled with pains in the back or
loins, either frequent or occasional,
should' look to the .condition of the
blood. It will be found in most cases
that Dr.`Williams' Pink Pills' by build-
ing up the blood and feeding the
starved nerves and muscles will banish
-the pains and make you`feel°better in
every other way. How much -better--
it is to try` Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for your, blood than to give way to un-
reasonable alarm about your kidneys.
If you really Suspect your kidneys
P Yany
doctor can make a test in teri niiuutes
that will set your fears at rest, or tell
you the worst.

The supposed relation of bacteria

theories were pure speculation.
Even as early as 1850 Rayer and
some of his associates had seen the

their importance, In 1860 Delafond

demonstrated that the bacilli found hi
anthrax were living organisms, and
