HEALTH EDUCATION MIDDLETON Provincial Board of Health, Ontarie " Dr. Middiston will be glad to answer questions on Public Health mad ters through this column. Address him at Spedina House, Spadizs Crescent, Toronto. A fistula, or passage, means an opening which normally does not exist, communicating between the surface of the body and one of the internal organs, Thus a gunshot wound that pene- ia fistula is a big thing. It is in one | sense, because it always needs an op- | peration before it can be cured. But tactually, in mere size, it is a very | small thing, and very difficult to find. A patient is not likely to discover it TO BOOST CANADA AT EMPIRE EXHIBITION Among the many magnificent buildings nearing completion which have been erected to house the British Empire exhibits at Wembly, next year, the Canadian Pacific pavilion is particularly outstanding. RHEUMATIC SUFFERERS May Obtain Relief by Enriching the Blood Supply. In the days of our fathers and grand- fathers, rheumatism was thought to be the unavoidable penalty of middle life and old age. Almost every elderly person had rheumatism, as well as many young people. It was thought that rheumatism was the mere effect EASY TRICKS Blo Neo. 49 w It Over trated the stomach and left an open himself.

Of course, these symp- that which communicates between the!toms are generally set down by the bowel and the surface--strictly speak-: patient as piles, but though piles are ing, a fistula in ano. How this arises | very common, they are not painful is not always quite clear.

This is known as an side or outside. What is the treat- of exposure to cold and damp, and it was treated with liniments and hot applications, which sometimes gave temporary relief, but did not remove the trouble. In these days there were many cripples. NofW, ¥sdivailt science understands that rheumatism is a dis- ease of the blood, and that with good rich red blood any man or woman of any age can defy rheumatism. There are many elderly people who have never felt a twinge of rheumatism, AEN RN NN Bend a business card or a visiting card to the shape of the card in the drawing. Place it on the table and ask a friend to blow it over. As a rule he will go ahead and blow with the greatest confidence and to the ischio-rectal abscess, and very com- monly leaves a fistula behind it as a legacy. = Fistulas are also rather liable to develop of their own accord in con- sumptives. It has also been suggested that they may arise by some foreign body such as a fishbone, penetrating the bowel and setting up a track of inflammation outside it. In any cass, the fistula forms and presents itself as an accomplished fact to be dealt with. Such a fistula may be of three different kinds. It may run as a nar- row track from the skin around the anus and be blind otherwise. It may exist as a narrow track from the bowel and be blind toward the skin external- ly. Or thirdly, it may run as a nar- row track from the skin externally to the bowel internally, and this is by far the commonest type--a complete fistula. Do not run away with the idea that ment of a fistula? Here, more than anywhere else, surgical treatment is essential. It is the only treatment. Otherwise the fistula will continue for- ever. No drugs and no paliative treatment are of the slightest use. An anaesthetic must be given, and the fistula laid completely open, and al- lowed to heal from the bottom of it. This usually mean a month in bed. There is no risk attached to it, and the cure is absolute and permanent. I lay stress on the necessity of this surgical cure because many people go on suffering pain and discomfort and ill-health indefinitely just on account of the fact that they do not have some trouble in this region properly exam- ined, and go on and on regarding it as piles, and applying various sorts of ointments in the hope of a cure. Such "cure" will never occur. A fistula must be opened, and until it is opened the subject of it will be a semi-invalid. The Art of Living. The art of living is the art of keep- ing your poise, your peace of mind, your serenity in the midst of confu- sion; in keeping efficient and happy in an uncongenial environment. Your ideal ig found not in ideal con- ditions, but in the hurly-burly of every: day life. It is found in your daily work, or nowhere. The ideal life is generally built up in the midst of lack of ideals. If you wait for what "people call Ge INE, 22 URINE oN KEEP YOUR EYES "ideal conditions," you will never get anywhere, because no such conditions exist on this earth. The only ideal you will find is in yourself; you make your own ideal. If you are ever to realize it, you must fashion it your- self; work it out in the daily routine of your own environment.

The Wheatons had amassed a vast fortune and risen from obscurity to an enviable position in society. The daughters of the household, however, had never been able to "polish" moth- er to their exacting ideas, and often her remarks were a trial to their other- wise blissful existence. One evening they were entertaining a party of friends, and conversation turned to music. Mrs. Wheaton strove to remember the name of a certain composer. "I can't remember it to safe my life," she remarked, after meditating deeply for a few moments, "and it was at my tongue's end a moment ago. As near as I can come to it, his name is Doorknob." The girls looked aghast, and one of them sald, quietly: "You are mistaken, mother; there Is no composer whose name sounds any- thing like doorknob." Then, wishing to make up for her mother's deficient knowledge on the subject, she said: "I will go over a few names: Bee- thoven, Mendelssohn, Wagner, Haydn, Handel--" : "That's it!" interrupted mother. "It's Handel. I knew it was something you geized with your hands."
