Gratifying success,has attended the ozone treatment department of the Queen Alexandra Hospital for Soldiers. About eighteen months ago the treatment, which consists or allowing a stream of ozono'to pour into the innermost cruvices of old chronic wounds, was given an experimental trial. • Now (writes the medical correspondent of the "Daily Mail") it has taken its place as one of the most valuable means at tho surgeon's disposal in the carrying on of the cure of deep-seated, intractable wounds. From an iron cylinder oxygen is conveyed to a glass chamber, in which it passes through a tube of silica connected with an electric battery. The oxygen is here converted into ozone, and thence ia poured out through a fine rubber tube inserted into the depths of the wound. Fifteen minutes' treatments, which are quite painless, are tho daily dose.
