G. Large, Prince Rupert physician, and Dr. H. N. Brogklesby, scientist of the Prince Rupert Fisheries Experimental Station, of a new medical treatment for the malady of diabetes. It is stated to have already had remarkable results in experimental application. f The new medicine is given by mouth instead of hypodermically and eliminates some of the objectionable features of insulin. Its foundation is the root of the devil's club, a Pacific Coast weed which has always been regarded as a nuisance. The object is to reduce the sugar content of the blood. Dr. Large learned the secret in treating Japanese on the Skeena River whom he found had been successful, through using the herb, in allaying the ravages of diabetes. With the co-operation of Dr. Brocklesby, the new drug was developed. TODAY'S STOCKS (Oourttaj B. D. Jo)uiuu Go.) Vancouver B. C. Nickel, .O8V4. Big Missouri, .35. Bralornc, 9.60.
