VIOLET RAY TREATMENT. Australian files contain further refer, ences to the wonderful recovery o health and winning form which followed on the application of violet-ray treat, ment to His Majesty’s Hurry On (illy Scuttle, winner of the On© Thousand Guineas Race. The story of her recovery is an illustration of how the most modern science is used, ©t en in Rri. lam’s national sport. During the winter it was found that Scuttle was not doing welt. What load she ate seemed to do iter no good, and, noiwith. standing the greatest cure and attention j by her trainer, \V. Jarvis, tier condition | became Worse. It was then decided alter consultation to try the effect ol ultra-violet rays on tier, and it was arranged that site should spend line© weeks under the personal supervision of a well-known veterinary surgeon, Mr i’rydo Jones, who had ma.d© a close study of the treatment and its i nmense possibilities. Tli© treatment worked a miracle. According to Air Pryde Jctles Scuttle was actually suffering from debility when she came under his charge,_ but "almost immediately there w’us a reaction, She began to e a t and enjoy her food. What is more, site at once regained lost muscle, and when th© three weeks’ treatment had ended she was not only th© old Scuttle, but undoubted, ly an improved one. The delightlul sequel was her Guineas success, following on a first-class w'in early in th© fiat racing season. TOTALISATOR INVESTMENTS.
