A change has come over the attitude of the medical profeesion toward Dr. Friedâ€" manp, who has just paid a second visit to Foronto. When he first came to this counâ€" try the attitude towurd him was one of expectancy and hope, although it is not going too far to say that from the first there were many phyeiciane who looked | upon his reported cure for tuberculosis with scepticiem. 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 course of the authorities in extending a special invitation to the German physiâ€" cian to come to Canada to give demonstraâ€" tions of his important remedy. From a situation where there were only a few skeptics, the condition has now changed to one in which nearly the enâ€" tire medical profession expresses little hope that any great advance in the treatment of tuberculosis has been made by Dr. Friedmann. This altered attitude is due to two facts. in Patent Medicine Class? First, the sale by Dr. Friedmann of his rights to the manufacture of the remedy, which is in the form of a serum, to & private company in which it is underâ€" stood Dr. Friedmann himeelf retninz & large interest. The feeling among oc tors is that this is unprofessional conduct and places the reported remedy in the clase of patent medicines and nostrums. It may be pointed out, however, that the attitude of the medical profeseion to this class of medicines is somewhat more strict than is that of the general public. There seems to be some basis for the criâ€" ticiem that if Friedmann had made a great discovery euch 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. It his remedy had been efficacious his repuâ€" tation would then have been secure and a grateful world would doubtless have seen that honor and wealth would have been freely awarded.

Second, the progress of the patiente who have been treated by Dr. Frie@mann has not been decisive. In some cases there has been improvement, but the ecepâ€" tics maintain that this lmpmvement‘ might have been observed even it there had been no Friedmann treatment. In other instances there has been no imâ€" provement whatever. Dr. Friedmann‘s Answer. The anewer of Dr. Friedmann to the eriiics of his method of giving out the remedy is that its character requires that it should be in the hande only of pracâ€" titioners who have been schooled in its use, and that it would be unsafe and unâ€" 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 comâ€" pany which now holds the right to his serum, will establish tuberculosia sanitoria, which may be known as Friedmann {nstitutes, where patients will be admitted as they would be to hospiâ€" 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 iynar or two will be to establish a Friedâ€" mann school, possibly in New York, where physicians who wish to familiarize themâ€" EU UE UE C C o ts s emewse ihies 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 8t. east, and similarly a new Custom House on the present and adjoining site at the foot of Yonge 8t.

One may, in the first place, have a large head while the brain withâ€" in it is only about the average size or perhaps below it. This may be due to unusual massiveness of the bone or to thickness of certain memâ€" branes which form the scaffolding of the brain. WHAT SIZE IS YOUR HAT? Girl Babies Have 1‘ Ounces More Brain Matter Than § Boys. ‘"‘Men who take a large size in hats,"‘ remarked a fashionable hatâ€" ter the other day, ‘"are very proud of the fact. And with reason, for does not a large head imply brains and intelligence above the averâ€" «wer‘* :.: ; This idea is very common, writes a doctor, but students of skulls and brains are quite convinced that no constant relation exists between the size of the skull and the mass of the brain, nor even between the quantity of brain matter and the person‘s intelligence. â€"Then, again, a person may really have a brain of unusual dimensions with quite an average understandâ€" ing. s C gley> The latter is merely a collection of nerves which bring in sensations and carry outwards the impulses that move muscles, control glands, etc. The quantity of grev matter, which makes a person intelligent, depends mainly on the «depth of numerous clefts or fissures into which it, dips. The deeper the fisâ€" sures the greater will be a person‘s mental capacity. High Quality Brains. Quality of brain matter also tells. The man who wears a big hat may, and often does, possess a brain of poor quality, and consequently is inferior in mentdl capacity to the man of the small hat. Quality, however, &n be judged only by its results [ This curious fact is explained quite simply. Our brains consist of grey matter on the surface and a mass of white matter beneath. It is with the grey matter we think, judge, memorize and perâ€" form all the other mental functions, and in a large brain this may be of relatively small size to the white matter. But Gambetta, the great French statesman, was below the average as regards this organ, his very small brain weighing a little less than 41 ounces, As & maiter of fact, we see many men of great capacity with low foreheads/ and _ obviously small brains. ;/ Or, the other hand, the possessor of<a high, broad, foreâ€" head and a large head is often disâ€" appointing when you come to asâ€" certain the l.;.ount of his mental powers. But in the main, large heads mean superior mental gifts. Cromwell‘s brain is said to have been about sixty per cent. above the average size, and Byron had an enormous brain which weighed a quarter of an ounce more than Cromwell‘s. Are women less intellectual beâ€" cause they have smaller brains than men? It does not follow at all. The brain has a great deal of work to do that bears no relation to the inâ€" tellect. It controls alil our moveâ€" ments, keeps the vital organs in opâ€" eration, receives all the millions of sensations we are constantly exâ€" periencing, eto, sine in $25.000. 5% First Morigage Sinking Fund Gold Bonds.

Descriptive circular on request Its size must, therefore, be proâ€" portional to that of the body. As a matter of fact, tall men have larger brains than small men without any corresponding excess of intellect ; and the smaller female body, of course, calls for less physical brain energy and therefore does not reâ€" quire so large a brain. In quality a woman‘s brain is quite equal to that of a man, and a time may come when that part of the brain devoted to mental funcâ€" tions will be larger in women than in men. Anyhow, she starts out in life with brain matter weighing 1‘ ounces more than that of the male child. Quite possibly she has only to use it as a man ti)u to surpass him in mental power. Will Be Used to Make Deep Wausem Marbor in Hudson Bay. Canada will begin this summer to make a deep harbor on HMudson Bay,. At a cost of over $250,000 a mammoth hydraulic suction dredge capable of excavating to a depth of fortyâ€"seven feet is bing built at Toâ€" ronto for the Dominion Governâ€" ment, It is designed to battle with the ice floes of the Arctic region and may be completely submerged without sustaining damage. A Not only is it the biggest job of the kind ever attempted by a Canaâ€" dian shipbuilder, but the contract calls for its completion in the comâ€" paratively short space of five months, which means record time for a domestic shipyard. The dredge will be equipped with wireless apparatus, a complete maâ€" chine shop, including lathes, planâ€" ers, drills, air compressors, a set of pneumatic tools, smithy and a crucible for the manufacture of brass castings. Also the crew will be able to enjoy many of the luxurâ€" ies of an ocean liner, as the craft will have electric light and stcam heating in every room, a large reâ€" frigerator, pantry and other conâ€" veniences,. The Government hopes to make much headway in the development of a harbor on Hudson Bay before the winter of 1913, and it is expectâ€" ed the harbor wil} be ready by the iime the Hudson Bay Railway is completed . To reach its destination the dredgeo will have to go down the 8t. Lawrence, around by the coast of Labrador, through the Hudson Straits and across the bay. While the boat is not selfâ€"propelled she is equipped with two rudders and steam steering gear handled from the operating house on the upper deck. This is in order to keep her steady when towing. Bhe will have . at 100 and accrued interest on any or annually for siaking fund drawings, a three ton anchor and 600 feet of 1!4â€"inch stud link chain, and will also carry a sea anchor, which will keep her head to the wind in case it is necessary for the tugs to cast her adrift.
