While the gas experi- enced at the second battle of Ypres had little to do with tuberculosis, he | said, the effect of the gas later in life was frequently very severe, and many today were suffering from it. Many of to be suffering through the weaken-| ing of the throat and lungs as a re- sult of gas, but not having tubercu- | * losis, should receive treatment trom | the D.S.C.R. Twenty-eight men | were in Gravenhurst Hospital last | year . with tubercular trouble, and | while all men were ex-soldiers the trouble was not directly traceable to war service. General Ross urged the government to consider seri- _ ously the maintenance of the Mowat hospital for tubercular cases in Kingston. General Ross gave cases of ex-service men who had died as result of illness taken after the r, but not traceable to the war pvice. The majority of cases were pl cared. for, but there win a small who. : fon of the department. There was a lack of sympathy and tnterest in cases which were brought to the attention of the department, "sald General Ross, and some of them were only dealt with after * great pressure. He suggested that the department speed up corres- pondence in connection with cases, . that it have diagnoses made quick- : and that it take a real interest in the es coming to its attention. He also thought that the men who were placed in charge of deciding whether or not a pension should be granted should be men of greater experience than of those now 'en- gaged in this work. Dr. Beland's Reply. Dr. Beland replied that cases . gited by some half-dozen mem- Pers of the House were after all a yery small proportion of the 167,000 eases whick had to be reviewed year after year, and most of which were of Sol-| stated | that It was the intention of the de-| owners | vas' Dr..Beland said that a system was being worked out by which the | Kingston Hospital would be kept {open in a manner which would be satisfactory to the people of King- ston.

He pointed out, though, that the minister had no con- trol over the Pension Board. | | | -- i . DR.
