experimentation by the packing house chemist is expected to develop other Important humanitarian assets. The animal's by-product—glue, violin strings, buttons, paint brushes and shoe polish—have been widely heralded, but some of the more significant ones are little known. Some of the portions of the carcasses were—not so very long ago—classed as pure waste. In the early history of.,the packing industry’ the inedible portions were’ regarded as pure waste —a nuisance, and were often dumped into streams. Today, however, waste is practically unknown, and what was once thrown away Is sold. Glands Useful The Importance of the hog, steer and sheep in the pharmaceutical field is the result of discoveries made regarding glands and certain other tissues. The scientist tells us that it is the function of the gland to give to the blood some necessary substance, to keep persons healthy. When the gland fails in its allotted work the body suffers. Relief, if Indeed not a cure, can in many cases be expected by introducing into the human system the proper prepara tion from the corresponding gland ; of a domestic animal. The latest., most important dis covery in the glandular field Is insulin, which affords relief from diabetes. The method of application was discovered recently by two Canadians. In diabetes the body ran not utilize the sugar made from our food. Insulin obtained from the pancreas of cattle, hogs and calves replaces the necessary reaction in the human pancreas and the system again functions normally. Insulin being relatively plentiful i-> Inexpensive. The suprarenal gland, located near the kidney yields epine. nhrin which the surgeon finds useful in preventing hemorrhage during and after operations The glands of more than J 5.000 cattle are needed to make one pound of this. Corrects Mentality A substance from the pineal gland has been developed to make mentally defective persons more nearly normal. The gland itself is only half as large as one-half of an ordinary

pea, and there is only one to a beef. It takes 15,000 animals to yield a pound of this drug. The pituitary gland —(really two glands)—has also been put to work by science. The posterior portion contains a substance which when Introduced into the human system has a tremendous stimulating action on the involuntary muscles. For this reason It is of inestimable value in obstetrical cases. Experiments are being conducted with' the forward lobe of this gland with a view to regulating the stature of humans. Results to .date have been questionable, but success has been achieved with a laboratory animal. Other substances of pronounced medical value —the thyroid extract for curing weak-minded children and other thyroid preparations to treat imperfect hone hardening, including rickets have been discovered. There are kephalin and lecithin, which stop bleeding quickly, and counteract the poisons of snakes and Insect bites. Kephalin was widely

used for flrst-aid cases in the World War. Pepsin, obtained from the Inner lining of the hog's stomach, la the oldest ot packing hous medicines, and is used for treating Indigestion. Red hone marrow and spleen are used for anaemia. A portion of the intestines of sheep are now used for sewing up wounds, and it* operations. The old ligatures had to be pulled out with great pain to the patients, but the body absorbs the animal ligatures, and they do not have to be taken out. Science is proud of its four-legged pharmacies, and the value resulting In these and other by-products hns resulted In great savings. From these by-products has come a reduc. tion in the price of meat to the con Burner, and the price paid to the farmer has been increased. MORE CATTI.E EXPORTED Cattle exported from Canada In the first nine months of the present year amounted to 93,742 head, as compared with 94.550 head In the same period of 1925.
