--Dr. Zechandelaer, a Continental
physician, had a recent article on
"Suggestion," as a factor in treating
the sick, Here is a quotation from
the article.
BOURASSA STIRS THINGS.
Henri Bourassa, a prominent Lib-
eral French politician in Quebec, is
making quite a- stir in his own pro-
vince, by denouncing the graft system
of the Laurier Government.
Mr. Bourassa, in the course of a
speech delivered in Montmagny, re-
cently, said that before long the ma-
jority of members of the House of
Commons would conte from west of
Lake Superior, and the people of Que-
bee would then be at the mercy of
freshly -arrived immigrants from Eur-
ope, indifferent alike to British and
Canadian traditions, "I do not op-
pose immigration," said Mr. Bourassa,
"but I do oppose paying large salaries
to innunnerable political hacks, as im-
migration agents, to bring over here
paupers and jail birds to outvote
native Canadians, in order to make
dividends for politicians with a taste
for speculation."
Mr. Bourassa ironically asked what
would have happened in 1590 if the
Liberals had said that instead of set-
tling the Manitoba school question
they would bury it ; if instead of im-
porting 50,000 good-for-nothing set-
tlers a year they would bring in half
a million ; if instead of spending $30,-
000,000 a year they would spend $100,-
000 ; if after denouncing the Conserva-
tives for appointing their members to
all sorts of offices they would appoint
many more ; if after denouncing the
Conservatives for selling public lands
too cheaply, they would do the same
and more ; and give 200,000 acres to
Sifton and his brother-in-law, Adam-
son, at a ridiculous price to make a
fortune for them ?
"As a member of Parliament," said
Mr. Bourassa, "I feel that when we
Liberals denounced these things as
done by the Conservatives, I must
still denounce them when they are
done on a much larger scale by the
Liberals. There is more corruption
to -day than when the Conservatives
were in power, but the Conservatives
had no one .to denounce it as I and
Mr. Lavergne do."
"Susceptibility to suggestion is one
of the fundamental properties of the
human soul, a. knowledge and compre-
hension of which is of the first im-
portance to physicians and nurses.
Fear of a disease is followed by an at-
tack of the disease dreaded, 'To class
such cases with the imaginary sick is
wholly erroneous. There arc diseases
caused by the imagination ; but these
are quite different front those caused
by suggestion. A hospital physician
in Paris, in the hearing of the patient,
consulted with his assistant as to the
course to be pursued in the case.
Then, with much head shaking, he
said to the patient : "There is one last
remedy ; but it is so dangerous that I
hardly dare apply it; but if you have
courage to risk it, I will give you the
pilules fulminantes. It is my last re-
course ; but it is a very hazardous
one." The patient expressed herself
ready for the experiment. Four
pilules were prescribed, only one to
be taken per day. The next day the
woman recovered ; her desire for a
cure and her expectation of the mar-
velous effect of the pilules had been so
great that, as she hesitatingly
acknowledged, she had taken two in-
stead of one, shortly after which she
had felt a shock as if she had been
struck by lightning, and from that
moment had been restored. The ful-
minant pills were made of bread
crumbs."
In the ranks of business men there
are no doubt dishonest men, as there
are in other callings, but here, is an
example of honesty of purpose and
action that should he a stimulating
example to others :-"Edward Bailey
of Chicago, who lost $4,000,000 four-
teen years ago in the famous pork
corner, has just paid off the last of
his indebtedness, though he could
have taken advantage of the bank-
ruptcy law and been released from
liability long ago. His example comes
to light just at the right time to coun-
teract that set by the dishonest New
York bank teller.

-In twenty years the population of
the Ontario municipalities in 1905 bad
increased about 10 per cent. and the
taxes imposed had increased from $9,-
000,385 to $16,589,522. And they had
not even then been paying their way ;
they had been mortgaging the future.
Their debenture debts had increased
from less than 30 millions to 70 mil-
lions. The floating debts had grown
from less than five millions to over 10
millions. The annual tax rate had in-
creased from an average of 12.97 mills,
or $4.93 per capita, to 16 mills, or $7.90
per capita. The municipal debenture
debt charges on a family of five was
in 1886 only $81.85 ; in 1905 it was
about $170. And besides that there
was the floating debt.

-The wisdom of the Ontario Gov-
ernment's policy of exacting a royalty
on the Cobalt mining output is seen in
the fact, that the treasury of the Pro-
vince of Ontario continues to be en-
riched by wealth from Cobalt. Hon.
Col. Matheson received last week, a
cheque for $116,516.31 from the
O'Brien mine, being the royalty for
the three months ending July 1. By
the settlement of litigation some
months ago, the province receives a
royalty of 25 per cent. of the output
at the pit's mouth. As the O'Brien is
one of the best paying mines in the
camp, this means nice big cheques.
For the first three months this year
$39,000 was paid, while last fall a
cheque for $15,000 was received.

-Hon. R. Lemieux, when speaking
at the opening of the Kirkfield lock
on the Trent canal, recently, gave an
excellent speech and referred to 'the
Canadian canal system as follows
In our greatest chain of waterways,
including our most costly and famous
canals, those of Welland and Sault
Ste Marie, the minimum depth of
water in the canals is 14 feet, and the
breadth of the canals at the water
surface averages 150 ft.; this through-
out a system that extends for 1,225
miles from Montreal to the head of
Lake Superior. In that great water-
way there are no less than 8 canals,
those of Lachine, Soulanges, Corn-
wall, Ferran's Point, Rapide Plet,
Galops, Welland and Sault Ste Marie,
but their total length is only '73 miles,
the Welland 2in miles, being the long-
est, and the Sault, 11 miles, almost
the shortest. The magnificent locks
at the several canals enable us to
climb the 000 feet that separate the
level of the St. Lawrence at Three
Rivers from that of Lake Superior.
The climbing is actually done in 551
feet of lockage and the number of
locks through which a vessel passes
on its long journey is 48. The Geor-
gian Bay scheme will practically cut
in two the distance between the lakes
and the sea and will make Canadian
shipping supreme on the Great Lakes,
and when I say this I do not speak at
random, but on the authority of a
Duluth expert who made a statement
to that effect before the Committee
on Rivers and Harbors at Washing-
ton some years ago. 'Well, let us
work for it. Canada's supremacy on
the Great Lakes is as the very life-
blood to her and is surely an ambition
worthy of our best energies."

-English papers are taking a very
serious view of the situation as be-
tween Japan and the United States.
The London Spectator fears the Bri-
tish people will some day face a situa-
tion similar to that now confronting
the United States, owing to the
objections on the part of Canada,
Australia, and British Africa, to the
inflow of Japanese immigrants. Over
a. thousand Japanese landed at Vic-
toria, B.C., during June, but only 227
of these remained, the rest continuing
their journey on to the United States.
The inflow will continue, however,
and an increasing proportion are ex-
pected to remain in the Pacific pro-
vinces. Many of the newcomers will
go to work on the Grand Trunk Paci-
fic. This country will soon have a
Japanese problem of its own on
hand.

-The Catholic Register has this to
say :-"The daily press of the country
has for some time been busy ventila-
ting conditions of things political,
and the details given the public have
for the most part made nauseous read-
ing. Now, however, that the charges
have in some instances been almost
proven, we feel we would not be doing
the work attached to the mission of a
Catholic newspaper were we to refrain
from adding our voice to that of all
right-thinking people throughout the
country, who, in the face of the dan-
gers that threaten, call a gathering of
the forces to insist on a halt to things
as they are. For Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
the task awaits to clear the country of
all that it a bismiak on the escutcheon

-A Toronto despatch says that On-
tario elections will take place at the
end of September, or during the early
part of October, 1908. The govern-
ment, it is said, has practically de-
cided that only one more session of
the Legislature will be held. This, of
course, will meet in the early days of
next year, and promises to be an
exceptionally long and busy one.
Among the important government
measures to be submitted will be ex-
tensive reforms along the line of pub-
lic and separate school legislation, and
the consideration of the reduced prices
of the new text books. A big pro-
gramme affecting the development of
New Ontario is likely to be forthcom-
ing. Important prison labor legisla-
tion will follow the work of the spe-
cial legislative committee recently ap-
pointed. The attorney -general will
submit the report of the committee
on the revision of the statutes and his
long -looked -for measure of law re-
form. Moreover, the redistribution
bill will be brought down. This bill
will be much Iess radical in its chang-
es than has been supposed. It is said
that the prime minister, Hon. Mr.
Whitney, has taken strong grounds
against any wholesale gerrymander
for purely party purposes. County
lines will be closely followed, and
where counties are sub -divided muni-
cipal or natural geographical lines
must be followed. Increased repre-
sentation for Toronto and New On-
tario is likely, but in the rural con-
stituencies comparatively little change
is anticipated -in southwestern On-
tario there is likely to be practically
none. A total increase of about fif-
teen seats Is predicted if the bill goes
through according to theresent out-
line of principles to be followed in its
framing.
