:Maple .syrup and maple sugar were
products manufactured on, the • Laid-

made in open kettles, and the sap was,

and every one who took part in ,it
had a stellar role.
The, name of the disease . is
methaemoglobinaemia. So far as we
know; medical nomenclature being
what It is, there is no help for that,
but the business itself has to do with
methaemoglobin, in the blood, the
normal amount of this being one per.
cent. Just what said, methaemoglo-
bin is doing there we cannot say, but
at least is doesn`t• do any of the work
of carrying oxygen along. However
the laymen; thanks to blood) banks
and 'So forth, are now on to haemoglo-
bin. Nitrate ions by uniting with
.haemoglobin produce methaemoglo-
bin, and when too much of this gets
into the blood stream there are diffi-
culties ,ahead.
Now the parents of the tiny bit of
girl down' in Southern Manitoba
weren't troubled about any 'of these
things. Home they brought her in'
'triumph. Four weeks later back they
were at the hospital with a very sick
baby. 'The head of the small hospi-
tal immediately, sent the child to.
Winnipeg, and' the Children's Hospi-
tal took over.
One of the ..physicians there remem-
bered about a similar case, of which
he had read, occurring in Iowa, How
about the well water which supplied
the water. portion, of the child's. food?
The provincial department Of health
reported on said well: "The well is
down grade, 150 feet from barn, 250
from ,house. It is not well protected,
had a wooden platform' and the ani-
mals were watered close by. The
well itself was twenty feet deep with
a bucket conveyance and a manual
lift pump.,
Analysis of the water .discovered;
250 parts of nitrate per ''million . . .

'tent is set at 10 parts• per .million.

A few months later along to the
Children's Hospital came a very
small boy from Dryden. Well water
was in his formula also, and it was
