GERMAN SCIENTIST

RESEARCH SPECIALIST

An interesting arrival by the Monowai yesterday was Professor L. Fraenkel, who for twenty years has occupied the Chair of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Breslaii University.. Accompanied by Mrs.- FraehkeVfhe left last night to .visit an old student of his clinic, Dr. Morton, of Oamaru.

Dr. Fraenkel, whose work is known to New Zealand obstretricians through German medical publications, has devoted most of his time to research, in the physiology arid pathology of women's diseases, and one branch of research in which he has achieved considerable distinction is endocrinology. He has visited other countries by invitation, where he has lectured on the subject; on which he is an authority. But he is visiting New Zealand purely on holiday. He will see the chief tourist resorts in the South Island before returning to the. North, and will spend some months in the Dominion.

"We came here," he told a "Post" reposter, "because New Zealand is known as the most beautiful country scenica.lly in the world. We have been told that even in Switzerland and, Austria there is nothing like it."
