The “athletic heart” is often a myth, according to the latest views promulgated at tho annual gathering of tlto Canadian Medical Association.
Dr John Parkinson, a. London heart specialist, declared that there was no evidence to show that heavy smoking injured the heart permanently. Tho mam causes of heart disease were rheumatic Cover ami syphilis. Dr Parkinson insisted that many cases of socqUed heart disease wore really nervous symptoms. Canadian medical men decline to take seriously Dr Glover’s germ theory of cancer. The Canadian views give support to the theory, which is behind the best experience, in Britain. Germany, and America that cancer follows a bruise or injury, renegade cells running wild. They have no more faith in Dr Glover’s discovery' than they have in Friedman’s tuberculosis scrum which was advertised in New York ten years ago.—Sydney ‘ Sun ’ Cable.
