VALUE OF RADIUM
PALMERSTON HOSPITAL’S NEEDS. Palmerston North, February 11. “I think that radium is going to be of great value to the sick, and practically all hospitals of our grading are now procuring quantities of this mineral.” said Sir lames Wilson, who presided at to-day’s meeting of the Palmerston North Hospital Hoard. “The time has arrived when ‘ sdme effort should be made to collect the money necessary,” lie continued, “and it would be of service if Dr. Fraser was given authority to go down to Dunedin, and view the work that is going on there.” The speaker referred to the fact that some years ago the late Dr. Martin was influential enough to procure a sum of money for the purpose of radium, but upon his death that sum was put into a memorial to him. The money collected had thus been spent. It was agreed that Dr. Fraser should make the trip to Dunedin as suggested.
