Arnold Lyndon, 0.8. E., who was medical officer in charge of one of tho war hospitals from 1914 to 1918, told a Wellington reporter ree-' ently. There were certainly a very large number of men who would rover bo u,ble to work again, said Dr. Ly’ndon but there had been a distinct improvement' in the condition of many ‘ ‘ nerve ’ ’ cases, and it had been noticeable that an encouraging proportion of them had been absorbed into work.
