DIAGNOSED BY WIRELESS.
A medical examination, carried on by wireless over a distance of 100 miles, followed by a close diagnosis and prescription for treatment, is the latest achievement in intership communication. On the arrival of the liner Orduna at Liverpool recently, the story was told. Just before tho Ordnna entered the Straits of Magellan a wireless message was received from the British steamer Brodstone, saying her master was ill, and asking the ship's surgeon on board the Oruna to prescribe for him. Dr. Ayhvard agreed to do so, and then began an examination. He asked five questions, which were put and answered within twenty minutes, after which Dr. Aylward prescribed for the patient, who was at least 100 miles away.
