Dr TR Adams of the Ottawa conservation commission warned at a Montreal convention that returning vigiers to land under current conditions would be a fatal policy. He noted sellers avoid farming not from opposition but because farming does not pay and available settlement lands are too remote. He said conditions are no worse than central districts and attributed this to speculation. Parmelee's Vegetable Pills are promoted as a remedy for indigestion and dyspepsia with claims of restoring stomach regularity.
