Happenings of The W eek

-s__-i__-

Princess Elizabeth‘: son was wel- comed officially by the royal bag- piper, Pipe Major Alex Macdonald. who played a selection of lively Scottish airs in the grounds of the palace 12 hours after the prince was born. In her pink walled bed- room to which she was taken after the ‘birth in the palace hospital room the princess expressed hap- piness at the gesture, palace inti- mates said.

breakfast. O O O

No name was given the West- minster registrar when he visited ‘the Duke of Edinburgh. the young prince's father. at the palace. The registrar for that part of London in which the palace is situated, S. Clare, took the birth registration forms to the palace for the father to fill in. Without ceremony the duke listed his son as a child of “His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, occupation ‘naval of- ficer’." and "Her Royal Highness the Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of

Edinburgh." O O

THE STRANGE AND BTABTLING STORY OF ISAAC THEW

(By Uncle Joe)

Many, many years ago. one of the strangest cases in the history of Prince Edward Island had the set- tlegs of King's County ageg when it had returned from the dead and was busy about his shack as though nothing unusual had taken place in his life.

l-low do we know that Isaac Thew died and then returned from the Land of Mist?

We have the word v of his good neighbors who. having witnessed Isaac's passing, carried his re- mains through the forest. a dis- tance of about three miles. to a tiny graveyard which had been sel- ected as a burial place by the early settlers.

Most people have forgotten the story by now, but I shall always remember it. as I heard it from the lips of Aunt Mary MacSwain, who died about twelve years ago at the ripe old age of one hundred and five years. Mrs. MacSwain's father. who had come over from the Isle of Skye to visit his daughter. was present that eventful night and together with a handful of King's County residents stood beside Thew's bed when he breathed his last.

O O

Three days later his neighbors saw Isaac Thew working about his place, but were too frightened to

IMIMEDIATE HEAT 0F GREAT HELP IN BHEUMATISM

Rheumatism is so crippling that all over the world organizations to prevent and treat it are being formed.

While the majority 6f physicians believe that infection of the teeth. gums, tonsils. sinuses. gall bladder or large intestine is the commonest cause. it is known that coldness, dampness. too much starch food, poor posture, injuries and even emotional disturbances may be causes or partial causes of rheuma- tls

m.

Treatment of rheumatism always has consisted of the reimovai of in- fecfilon and the application of heat in various forms. Thus. the removal of infection means that no, more poisons can be poured into the blood. and heat means that the poisons from the infection will be moved out of the body in less time. Heat hastens the circulation of the blood.

while the majority of physicians believe that. Sister Kenny's hot ap- plications are helpful in the treat- ment. of poliomyelltis (infantile paralysis), all physicians admit that hot applications are of great help in the treatment of rheumatism. This ls because of the great num- ber and size of the blood vessels in and around the joints.

Thus. in the "American Journal of Medical Sciences.” Drs. R. J. Boucek and E. W. lawman state that because of these blood vessels they treated acute cases of rheu- metlsm by a constant packing of the rheumatic joints and the sur- rounding soit. tissues immediately upon admission of the patients to the hospital. using hot. moist sp- plicetion. This is continued for 72 hours or more until the swelling and pain are relieved. The packing is the some as that described by Sister Kenny.

Following this early or immediate heat treatment. the other methods are used: Removing fluid from the spinal column and then reinjecting typhoid vaccine. and l ovlng some of the patient’: blood and then injecting it. into his body again to cause high fever for s few hours. Between the fever trest- ments the patient is given nicotinic avid (vitamin B) by mouth tiwice e dsy. In addition to the above trest-

And think of the happiness that pervades the home in which the husband and wife agree on every subject and where they can discuss any matter without getting in each other's hair. where they like the same kind of cooking and even worship the same God.
