[Original caption] Canadian Economy is enriched yearly by a wealth of furs - contribution of the little-known, poorly-mapped, sparsely-populated North. Out of the land of the Eskimos comes the bulk of the white fox catch, while a few blue, red and cross foxes, weasel (ermine) and polar bears are also traded. The Eskimo is a happy, childlike nomad. He lives mainly by fishing and hunting, his principal foods being seal, caribou, ptarmigan and white whale. Twice yearly, all settlements are visited by the government doctor. Here, T.H. Orford, doctor and agent for the James Bay district, adds to the case history of one of his Eskimo patients.
