Tie ‘reports of a possible cure for canoe, now being tested in St. Mich- ael’s Hospital, Toronto, become quite optimistic. If the cure-turns out to be the real thing, Dr. T. J. Glover will be one of the greatest heroes of medicine in all time. Widespread interest is being shown by victims of the disease and by doc- tors far and near. The glad news yesterday was that of 60 cases under treatment not one fails to show im- provement, although some have had but one injection of the serum. Prob- ably most of these cases are extreme- ly bad, given up after other methods of treatment, and snatching at any last straw. If they can be relieved, let alone cured, what a dazzling triumph! People hate to believe the thing achieved, for fear of one more cruel disappointment. The cases par- ticularly reported as benefitted thus far seem to be women, and we know the readiness of hopeful or hysterical woman to believe or imagine herself better. One female patient already announces herself not merely improv- ed but cured. So be it. Cancer is an unspeaRable disease. One would liefer fall into the arms of an octopus than have this horrible fungus fasten upon him; the finish would be quicker. thousands of victims and their fam- | pense over the tests and clinies of Dr. Glover.

All are: rated as having refused. to perform duty in accaggance with instructions. The trouble had been accumulating for some months, and Ottawa is report- ed to have issued instruction to the officers directly concerned that in the event of any refusal of duty, the nurses concerned should be irstant- ly and- permanently removed from the service. To-night, it is claimed 15 new qualified nurses are on duty at the} hospital, and applications from others are being received. Only the matron. Miss Weld, and one nursing fister, Miss Jacobs, réfused to join in the walkout. It is claimed that the nurses were asked only to perfw~rm such duty as is commonly done by the nurses in civitian hospitals, sueh as the pre- paration of special diets and _ the placing of trays for patients. After the first objections had been brought to a focus, it was arranged that special maids should be engaged to place the food on trays, which would be handled by orderlies under the supervision of the nurses. “It is a serious matter that nurses pledged to duty should walk out leaving two hundred patients, some very ill and dying, without any attendance. It is possible that some of the nurses who went out fejt that they were under pressure from their associates, but none will be reinstated,’ was the information given out here to-night. sisters “would say to yon, wer with it ane ~— on.” = wn gehen Ot _ 4 = SRE EG a rae Me oP a eli Sages AS ae “lic A $8 ees London nursing sisters, who partici- Thousands upon| pated in the walk-out were deputed to place the facts before the people lest | pro-| ilies and friends will be in wild sus-| their attitude should be misunder- | stood. Originated in Diet Hitchens. The trouble, they state, originated, in the diet kitchens. They held that they were specifically engaged ior nursing duty, while a staff of die‘- icians was employed to prepare and serve food. Some months ago certain nurses were taken off the wards and instructed to go into the kitchens ana distribute the food. They complied) -wittthe ordér under protest and a®k- ed that steps be taken a8 soon as con- veniently possijle to have the work done in the ordinary way. Several times institutional officers were asked to have the matter arranged, and be- cause complaints were not heeded the instructions were a regular cause of frietion, Thursday Miss Pollock, of Owen Sound, who served overseas for three years and who was through the raid of Etaples, brought the trouble to a focus by refusing to go into the diet kitchens again. The matron and Medical Superintendent communicated with Dr. Alexander of London, Superintendent of F. unit, of the Military Hospitals Commis- sion, who is reported to have given alll structions that any member of the staff should be instantly discharged | for refusal of duty. Miss Pollock was accordingly dismissed, then each of) the 25 nurses on the staff was asked | in turn to do the work Miss Pollock | had refused to do and each in turn} pursued Miss Pollock's course with the same result. Dr. Alexander pro- ceeded at once to Guelph and on Fri- day arranged matters again on a sat- isfactory basis, but when the nurses returned to duty they found that Miss Pollock had not been reinstated. They consulted briefly and concluded that they could not remain on duty if one of their number should be sacrificed.

L. Scott, Manager Listowel Branch - ¢ Hickson, the spiritual healer, opened healing in the Church of St. Alban the Martyr this morning. Stretchers bearing their freight of human suf- fering, the maimed, the paralytic, the halt and the blind, the wheel chairs holding crippled men and wo- men, were placed in the front of the church, while in the first pews, and in fact in all the.seats, could be ‘seen mentally diseased, and others griev- ously afflicted. Seekers after sensationalism were disappointed, if any there were who went to see the healer out of curi- osity. He performs his work quietly, almost in silence. He makes no claim for himself of being a miracle man nor does he say he is a healer. “I have no more power to heal than that electric bulb has to give light without the electricity that feeds it,” he said. “Il have never healed anybody. Yield to the influence of Jesus Christ. I want you self—pray for the one next you; pray for those around you.” These few sentences, quietly ut- tered, give a clear insight into the heart and belief and powers of James Moore Hickson. iM; Yules Rink Captured Prize—— There was great imerest in the | toca bowling competition on Thurs- i day evening of last week and the prize Andrew Yule, consisting of himself.

Though they can- hot receive proper attention at the hands of one matron and the medical staff, we have the sympathy and back- ing of every one of those boys.
