THE NEW NERVE SPECIALIST

His sun. life was taken up with the ditlereiit types of paralysot-nand the differences between the various forms of insanity‘- He wasn't supposed to cure any of the above cases. but he was called when the family physician was ll.'l doubt about a case.

The treatment was placing the patient on the regulation measures for any form of paralysis. and lend- ing the other type of cases to the hospital for the insaned , How different now is the nerve specialist. if he is in charge of an institu- tion he doesn't look upon all his cases as hopeless incurables, but sets about to study each case is to the causative factor. Sometimes severe nervous strain. other times an infection from teeth. tonsils. gall bladder. or intestine is causing the "strange actions" of the patient, and he is able to send a good per- centage to their homes. cured. And the nerve specialist in priv- ate practice is now a very “meet- abie" individual. because his great- est asset in healing the large num- ber of nervous cases he meets. is his knowledge of human nature. This very "naturalness" on his part gains the confidence of the patient, and the greatest obstacle to the treatment has thus been-

THE NEXT PARLIAMENT

it is iiow a foregone conclusion that Premier Meighen will have a substantial the next parliament. it had been felt all along that the Maritimes and Ontario, Liberalism had been almost wiped out at the last election, could not be expected to do much better than they did in the 1925 election and that Conserv- utivo hopes rested upon what Que- bec and the West would do. it is
