x110w South Australia Tries to Help ‘ the Fruitgrow‘ver. "f'Among the most successful of the 'Irmeéns adopted by the horticultural giepartment of South Australia for {the assistance of the fruitgrowers is (the carrying .out of various experi- ments at the government orchard established for that purpose. The orchard is situated at Coromandel Nalley, in the Mount Lofty ranges and is pronounced by experts to be gthe best of its kind in Australia. {It is 52 acres in extent, and in view of the very large area suitable for fruit culture in South Australia great interest is taken in the ex- periments. These include trials of different methods of budding, graftâ€" ing, manuring, thinning, and the treatment of pests. In addition, inâ€" teresting experiments relating to «he caprification of the Smyrna fig, and the “bitter pit” difiiculty in ppples are being undertaken, and ‘* EXPERIMENTAL ORCHARD.

Baby’s battles for health are many. The precious little life is in constant danger from the many ills that afflict little ones such a consti- pation, indigestion, colic, diar- rhoea, etc., and unless the mother guards her little ones against these troubles serious results may follow.

They are a mild laxative that will regulate the stomach and bowels and will thus ward off sickness ’and Lecturing on the subject of arteriosclerosis, which he tanned the Dammles sword suspended over the heads of us all, Prof.- Aklolf von Struemfell, the eminent physi- cian and physiologist, of Vienna, Austria, gave some valuable sug- gestions as to how, this disease might be avoided. It is most im- portant, he said, to be‘ginin time and care-fully refrain from every- thing known to be injurious to the arterial system, such as overâ€" pvhyrsioarl strain, free indulgence in rich foods', alcohol and tobacco, es- pecially ’dhe lutter. _ As for tea and coffee, there was much less to be said. Strong, black coffee certainly did produce nervous affections of the heart, but it had little effect upon the arteries, and tea'wms injurious only in iso- Lated causes.

As the social season opens, and the annual influx of overseas society women begins, This being the situation it is perhaps too early to pass a. final judgment on the merits of the- remedy. Even those physicians whoi express the belies that the remedy is not a remedy say that so far as they know ‘1‘; is not injurious. They only fear that the rousing of false hopes among a class of suflerers whose condition is, as a. rule, hopeless, may lead to much additional suflering. ‘ No Federal Square. Toronto has given up all hope of ever securing a Federal. Square. The proposal was that the new Government buildings required, such as Customs House, Post Office and similar institutions, should be built on the ame street, which would be laid out on a. style‘ of magnificence. The Government was reported to be in entire sympathy with the scheme, and Toronto believed that at last it would get something worth while. But the Govern- ment found when they came to purchase the land that the land owners always saw them coming and jumped the prices accordingly. The scheme was going to in- volve so great an expense that it finally was abandoned. Now the Government proposes to build for the city a fine new Post Office on the land occupied and adjoining the present site on Adelaide St. east, and similarly a new Custom House on the present and adjoining site at the foot of Yonge St. The new Post Ofiiceja to have a front- age of 328 feet and a, depth of 186 feet.

In some cases there has been improvement, but the scep- tios maintain that this improvement. might have been observed even if there had been no Friedmann treatment. In other instances there has been no im- provement whatever. on. Frledmann's Answer. The answer of Dr. Friedmann to the critics of his method of giving out the remedy is that its character requires that it should be in the-hands only of prac- titioners who have been schooled in its use. and that it would be unsafe and un- fair to hand it out freely to the public or even to the medical profession at large. For this reason it is probable that Dr. Friedmann. through the com- pany which now holds the right to his serum, will establish tuberculosis sanitoria, which may be known "as Friedmann institutes. where patients will be admitted as they would be to hospi- tals and where the Friedmann serum will be administered. The discoverer says that patients who are unable to pay for the treatment will be treated free. Or it may be that all that will be done for a year or two will be to establish a Fried- mann school. possibly in New York, where. physicians who wish to familiarize them- selves with the treatment may secure 'in- struction for the purpose of afterwards applying it to their patients. This would be a profitable operation for the Fried- mann Company. It might secure fees for the instruction and it would doubtless also make a. profit on\the sale of the remedy to the practising physicians who wish. to use it. From a situation whEre there were only a_ few skeptics. the condition has now changed to one in which nearly the en. tire medical profession expresses little hope that any great advance in‘ the treatment M tuberculosis has been made by Dr. Friedmann. _This altered attitude is due to two facts. In Patent Modlclne Class? First, the sale by Dr. Friedmsnn of his rights to the manufacture of the remedY. which ii_in the form of a serum, to a. private company in which it is under- stood Dr. Friedmann himself retains a large interest. The feeling among doo- torl is that this is unprofessional conduct and places the reported remedy in.the class of patent medicines and nostrums. It may be pointed out, however. that the attitude of the medical profession to this class of medicines is somewhat more strict than is that of the general public. There seems to be some basis for the ori- ticism that if Friedman!) had. made a. great discovery such as that made by Pasteur or Lister, the best thing he could have done would have been to have given it freely to the medical‘profession. If his remedy had been efficacious his repu- tation would then have been secure and a. grateful world would doubtless have seen that honor and wealth would have been freely_ awarded. A change has come over the attitude of the medical profession toward D12 Fried- mann. who has just paid a second visit to Toronto._ When he first came to this coun- try the attitude toward him was one of expectancy and hope, although it is not going too far to say that from the first there were many physicians who looked upon his reported .cure for tuberculosis with scepticism. On the whole, however. the attitude in Canada was much more friendly than it was in the United States. and there was general approval of the ooume of the authorities in extending a special invitation to the German physi- cian to come to Canada to give demonstra- tions of his iinportah;k ret‘nedy. ,A14 Physicians Have thtle Faith In Dr. Frlod- mann's Remedyâ€"No Hope for Federal Square.
