Arched entrance to Old Fort. Inset--Catrn on stte of first French Fort
commemorating
the birthplace of Camadiam Drama.
To comniemorate the first theatri-
cal performance on the North
American continent, a simple stone
cairn and tablet has been; placed on
the site of the first French Fort at
Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia,, the
birthplace of Canadian literature
and Drama.
Here the first American play was
written and acted 320 years ago.
Although it was unlike the kind of
dramatic performances one sees to-
day from comfortable orchestra
stalls, it was from all Ihistorial
accounts, a "pretty good show." It
was called "Neptune's Theatre" and
was staged on the :waters of
Annapolis Basin, the actors per-
, forming on a movable and precar-
ious stage of canoes, and the actors
themselves, men of opposite ex-
tremes in social and intellectual
condition, some gentlemen of
France, and others aboriginals of
'Nova Scotia wilds.
The author of this unique pro-
duction was Marc Lesearbot, a
French lawyer and poet, who came
with Poutrincourt toY,D ort Royal in
1606. During his first winter he
was in eh,arge of the Fort during
the absence of Peutrineourt on an
exploration expedition. If Lescarbot
must be credited with the distinc-

tion of being the author and prei-
ducer of the first North. American
play, he is also responsible for in
augurating a short hours day for
his men, and the first experimental
farm in the country. Moreover he
was one of -t}e most prominent mem-
bers of the "Order of Good Cheer",
an epicurean organization establisl-.
ed by Champlain for the purpose of
setting a record' in the variety and
excellence of food, which members
washed down with a plentiful supply
orrare old wines. Lescarbot was
as particularly "proficient in
"throwing" a good party.
To add- a still further "touch of
gayety", as Lesearbot putit, to the
return of Poutrineourt from his
voyage of discovery, Lescarbot com-
posed an original masque . called
"Neptune Theatre," which was
enacted in the presence of Poutrin-
court aboard ship. After it was
over the merry company went
• ashore, entered the "habitation"
and •home of the "Order" and the
banquet began. Later Lescarbot
returned to France and wrote the
"Histoire de Nouvelle France," and
the Old Fort fell into the hands of
the British.
It is the most peaceful spot in the
world now. A beautiful bronze

HEAMLETC.IiIIAA;TDIC, psIOSEFASE
By Dr. la Forster
It cannot be emphasized too strong-
ly that the mechanical overshadows
the chemical in the human organism.
Tlbieorator.
bodyyIS morem
a meet -tine than a
Ia
To one who recognize this, many of
the disorders that to others are per-
plexing become entirely understand. -
able.
Take, for instance, gastro-intestinal
troubles, What is the usual course
of these cases? Isn't it true that
they go from doctor to doctor each
of whom gives the disorder a differ-
ent na.rne? One says it is a gall
'bladder infection; atiother adeer of
the stomach, another, chronic appen-
dix; another adhesions. One gives
medicine, Another advises immedi-
ate operation; another puts the pa-
tient on a diet; another says nothing
can be done,
Fortunate indeed, is such a patient
if chance takes him finally to a physi-
cian who regards the body as some-
thing .besides a chemical laboratory
—who has an understanding of the
mechanics of the organism. Because
such a physician will correctly diag-
nose the condition through recogni-
tion of its underlying causes and cor-
rect it.
The functional capacity of all parts
of the body depend upon their motive
tirne power. The heart, lungs li'ver,
stomach, intestines ,kidneys, glands,
blood vessels, all possess a certain
amount of contractile tissue, (muscle)
which is the power behind their ac-
tivity. The moment this structure
loses its tone and elasticity the part
cease to properly function.
Returning to our illustration—the
gastro-intestinal system — what would
follow? Food would be imperfectly
broken up because the stoniach lacks
motility. The cellulose envelope of
the food cells would not me dissolved'
because secretion is defective. Diges-
tion in the intestinal tract would be
inadequate because of sluggish pro-
pulsion of the food and lack of diges-
tive ferments. Absorption and as -
simulation would be defective and
elimination of the residue would be
curtailed. n
Lathe face of such abnormal func-
tioning what would be the result? In-
digestion, gastritis, atony,
ptosis, malnutrition, auto -intoxication,
constipation—each contributing its
distressing symptoins to the clinical
picture.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
Pleurodynia vs. Pleurisy
F. L. writes: "I have a timer on
the grin about one inch from the el-
bow. It seems more attached to the
skin than the muscle. Sometimes
it itches. At times it is tender.
"Have had it one year. Paint it
with iodine. Local doctor thinks it
is a piece of cartilage that has broke
loose and started to grow.
"(i) Do you think the doctor is
right? „
(2) Is it cancer?
"(3) Following a cold in 1923 I
have had pains in the .1eft side be-
tween the ribs, of a burning charac-
ter. It is worse in the morning and
when I take a deep breath. ' What
is it?
"(a) Will X-ray do it any good?
"(6) Can it be cured?"
. ..... .... ....... . REPLY
(t) Yes. ,•
(2) No.
(3) Yes.
(4) You have what is technially
known as intercostal neuralgia or
neuritis or rheamatism. Probably
all three. It is an inflamation of the
nerves and muscles between the ribs.
It is caused by pressure and a toxic
condition, IVIany people fhinle it is
Pleurisy and it is so midi pleor-
isy that it is often called pleuroodynia,
(6) It can be cured by finding the
pOint from which infectious matter
is being thrown into the blood stream.
This may be in the teeth, tonsils, gall
bladder, appendix, or largo bowl.
Have a good doctor ,examine you to
find the focus of infection. Then get
whatever attention is necessary.
