Zurich Herald, 1915-07-16, Page 11WOMAN DOCTOR DOING FINE WORK , ORGANIZES AND MANAGES MIL I- TARY HOSPXTAL. Dr. Louisa Garrett Anderson Has Served Prison Term as Suffragette. Since September Miss Louisa • Gar- rett Anderson, an Englishwoman of note as . a suffragette, has been doing great things for the wounded, Early. in the war she and the, British ,Gov- ernment felt mutally shy of one an- other, and her first hospital levees opened under French authority. Her next hospital ,was at Wienereux, where she was among her own peo- ple, and where the rations (most in contestable of all evidence of recog- nition) seipplied to her patients were the official rations ori°tile British sol- dier. The mutual shyness having been dispelled, the War .Office asked Miss Garrett Anderson to return home and make a,hospital .in London..- Out of. her own" resourcefulness, experience, and initiative she makes her hospital. It. has five hundred beds;• it is to be, in working order in record time; it is to be wholly self -sufficient -that is • to. say, Miss GarrettAnderson.her- self is wholly . self-sufficient, How has she come .by the necessary abil- ity? Not, certainly, by the fostering foresight of a paternal Government. No count was taken before the war of the possibility of a woman doing the things she is doing, and even af- ter the war was well in hand there was still no effort ,made to secure the services of the whole group of ex- traordinary young Englishwomen to which she belongs. She now holds authority equal to that of a""'"Major in the R.A.M.C., and the Press is eager to give her the salute. She ra- ther relishes the humor of the situa- .tion when she tries to persuade ' the public, against . its will, that she is not a Major -that no woman can hold a commission in his Majesty's Army. Once in Jail. She remembers that the only time before the war when the authorities - showed any special interest in get- ting and keeping hold of her was when a magistrate, not without com- ments, sentenced her to , six weeks' imprisonment. For forty years her eneetier and her aunt had with 'allo worked propriety, for the.cause of Women's Rights. After that space of time, the ridicule of Parliament and the booings; of medical students -of students beaten on their own ground —palled on the younger generation, and a window was broken. Some good, as it happened, came of the in- cident—and the sentence. Miss Gar- - rett Anderson's articles .on the condi- tions and managefrient of 'women .in prison make, with Lady Constance Lytton's papers on the same subject, an invaluable basis for reform. The family record is an extraor- dinary one. Her mother, Dr. Eliza- beth Garrett Anderson, was one of the first women doctors. She 'be- gan her medical studies in 1860; and though the College of Surgeons and the College of Physicians refused to admit her to their examinations, she obtained a license to- practise from' the Society of Apothecaries in 1865. Paris had fewer prejudices than Lon- don and, passing the medicaI examin- ations of its University, she receiv- ed her M.D. degree. Later on, when England realized that she was not to be denied, honors were not lack- ing, andher daughter's degree is, a London one. An Unusual Family. After a long career. in London,.. Dr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson retired to her native town of Aldeburgh, and was elected Mayor. To Mrs. Fawcett, another of . the, remarkable Garrett sisters, belongs the enterprise of hay - big married a man who had never seen' her and never and never could see her. Mr. Fawcett -had been blinded by a gun accident. During his political career his wife played,a prominent part.. Few women, indeed, have been more closely associated with practical politics, for hers were, in a sense, the eyes of the blind Post- master -General; and, as a fellow- seer in the larger sense, she wrote, in conjunction with him, various es: Says and lectures on political •econ- omy. Her daughter Philippa was Senior Wrangler of her year—or, better still, beat the man who, apart from feminine competition, was the winner of that high distinction. All these ladies, including the young mathematician who astonished Cam- , bridge, and the young doctor with 'the hospital in Ende11 Street, retain the name of Garrett.. It is part of feminine history. Together with the 12th Lancers,. the Scots Greys were the first regi. .anent to be spcially mentiond in dis- patches during the present war by Sir Jolla French, BABY'S GREAT DANGER DURING HOT.

They Are Generally Free From Sew- age Contamination. :e The Journal of the American Medi- cal Association has espoused the cause of the oyster and is disposed. to defend that bivale from the charge that much of the winter typhoid in certain districts comes from the pol- lution of oysters and clams by sewage. It is noted that reports of cases of typhoid arising in this manner have led many persons to banish the oyster from their tables. • The Journal urges a more systematic attempt to settle definitely the question whether, as a matter of fact, oysters and clams, in their proper seasons, are typhoid germ carriers. .The Journal does not go so far as to declare that oysters grown in .loca- tions which subject them' to sewage pollutionare immune from infection, as has sometimes been asserted. But it states, as a fact not generally known, that oysters during the cold weather hibernate, or rest; that feed- ing does not occur, and that the oys- ters becomepractically free from sew age organisms, even when: lying on sewage polluted beds. The contention appears to be fairly sustained by a series of observations made during last winter at a prominent Atlantic coast oyster market, which proved that the oysters were in general free from • sewage contamination. The samples which were condemned, it is said, were procured during quite warm weather. While this dictum, if accepted, would be to a degree reassuring, it would be more, satisfactory toknow that government regulations of the growing and sale of:oysters made the sale of sewage polluted bivalves, im- possible.

Our best physicians, of the present day seek to cure patients by the use of food and right living, rather than heavy drugs, and thisis thetrue method, for only from food can the body be rebuilt. . Many people, after living on poorly selected or badly cooked food for a long time, and when their ailments be: come chronic, expect the doctor, with some magic potency, to instantly re- build them. This is not possible. The only true method is to run as 'quickly as can be, from poor food to. good: A young' lady says: "I was variously treated for my nerves, steinach, lungs, etc., but none of the treatments gave me relief. "About a year ago when my appe- tite failed completely and I began to have sinking spells similar to faint- ing, I took all manner of tonic and stimulants, but they were of no. ef- fect. I had been brought to quit drinking coffee . and taking Postum in its place and gradually began to get. a little better, "Someone suggested that if I found Postum so beneficial I had better use •Crape -Nuts food, as they were both the children of one brain. I com- menced on Grape -Nuts food for breakfast,. having Postum with it. I found the food so dainty, delieious, and appetizing that I always looked forward to breakfast with pleasure. "Shortly after commencing this diet, the wretched pain in my side was greatly relieved,and, now, , a.: year later,it has gone entirely, also the sinking spells; in fact, my pale cheeks have changed to pink, I. have gained back more than the twenty ,pounds .I lost, and am thoroughly well in every Weyer Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont.

From a little blacksmith's shop :at Essen in 1812, the'mighty =firm of IKrupps,' the home of German, . guns, has grown:into the largest • armament factory in the world. Friedrich Krupp originated the smithy, and for four- teen years struggled against poverty. He died a poor roan, and. on his death- bed confided the secrets he had dis- covered during his lifetime to his.son Alfred. It was more than twenty years before Alfred Krupp gained re- cognition, but after obtaining fame through exhibiting a' forty-five ton cast. ingot of Krupp steel at`the Crys- tal Palace_ Exhibition in 1851, he never looked back. When he died, in 1887; 60,000 people followed him to the grave: To -day ICrupps' works cover 1,000 acres of ground. Even be- fore the war -rush commenced the firm were employing 60,,000 men at their main works at Essen and thous- ands of others, in their' collieries, ship- building yards, and private testing grounds. It is estimated that over 300,000. people depend on Krupps for their livelihood. At the Krupps' works 40,000 can- non are turned' out every year. Work at Krupps' is conducted in great secrecy. ` _ Each worker is. for- bidden to enter `any office or workshop not connected with his own depart - meet. He has a passport for his special job, and he must not take any interest in any other.

No musician is more devoted to the instrument on which he plays than the highland piper. A tbuching story of a piper's last moments • on the battlefield is told. by Private L. L. Spalding, of the 90th Winnipeg Rifles. (the "Little Black Devils"), who was one of the Canadian soldiers gassed at Ypres. While up: in the firing line a piper of the 79th high - lenders (Canadian.Scottish) was mor- tally wounded in the chest, he says.— The man sat down on a bank, hugging his beloved pipes, and refused to be carriedeaway. "-I want to -stay here and ---and play a last tune," he gasped. But a little pathetic wheezing noise' was all the music he could get from his pipes. A few minutes later he. fell back dead.

Nearly 20,000 women, in 843 Health branches, make up the membership of the Women's Institutes of On- tario, the annual report of which for 1914 has just been issued. Articles in this report cover nearly every line of feminine endeavor. The egortsde- scribed or proposed relate to activi- ties in Institutes, the Church, and community life; to Red Cross and other forms of patriotic helpfulness; and to agriculture, more especially to fruit growing; poultry raising, and beekeeping for women. The report gives very full consideration to the home, nearly every range of domestic. economy receiving attention. The study of child life ie given a large place, and two addresses deal with "Children's Rights" and "Education for the Backward?' "Electricity as it Relates ,--to Women on the Farm" is the title of a practical talk by Sir Adam Beck. Considerable .space is given to health topics, both of a pub - tic and an individual nature. The re port reflects much credit upon the hosts of women who are helping along Institute work in his Province. Sign of Sapience. "Pa, why do people call the owl the ..bird of wisdom ?"

Baby was not well, and as he was; the first, his parents were anxious -about him, and the doctor was paying his second visit. As he was leaving,, the tiny patient mother said, "Oh, doc- tor, that medicine you sent for baby last night ie done." "Impossible!" replid the doctor in astonishment. "I told you to give him a teaspoonful before bedtime and one this morning." "Yes, I know," replied th young mo- ther,, with flushed cheeks.

Barely had he sat foot again on the shore of Britain when, as is usual, he had to submit his baggage to the Customs officials for inspec- tion. The latter, although Brown assured them that he had nothing to declare, seemed bent on making a thorough inspection. "But there's nothing in that trunk except wearing apparel," insisted . Brown. Unper- tubed and unconvinced the official pro- ceeded with his task; pulling out gar- ment after garment, until finally he disclosed a dozen 'bottles of wine. The official looked at Brown, then at the botties, and then again' at Brown. "And what kind of wearing apparel d'you call this?" he asked. "Night- caps!" retorted Brown, and even the grim official had to smile. Silinard's Liniinent 'Cures Diphtheria.

He did this by •violently shaking his sleeping friend. 'eWhat,',s the matter?" growled the other, 'It can't be time to get up yet?"
