CHANGES FOR BETTER IN LO N DON HOGJ.TTA LS. ARTIFICIAL SUNLIGHT TREATMENT. Many changes for the better have been made in London hospitals as regards. accommodation for the patients, the possibilities for open-air treatment, and the facilities for diagnosis and modern methods of treatment. .Such is the opinion of Dr. Charles F. Moriee, who has just, returned from ia visit, to Great Britain and the Continent. Interviewed by a Domihion reporter, Dr. Alnviee stated that hospitals in London were at n disadvantage through being housed in old buildings, but it was interesting to observe Ihe changes for the better which had been made in the fifteen years since he. had last visited England. Grcqt use, be said, was being made in. London of. nil in violet, rays or artificial sunlight treatment, with which wonderful results were being obtained, “It was very interesting,’’ said-Dr. Alorie,e, .“lo observe what a large number, of Australian and New Zealand natives were occupying, important positions in the medical world at-Home. A number of the younger men are engaged in Iscientifie research at several of (he medical schools.’’

| A MBIT TO SPA HUNGER, ) When in Geneva Dr. Aloriee was invited to visit Spuhlinger's laboratory; and was much interested ir. the work he found being done there. He considers there are great possibilities Li this method of treatment, but- as bis visit only extended over two hours in the afternoon he would not presume to give a definite opinion upon so large and important a subject. In- July last a committee of medical men from ihe British, House of Commons spoilt a week in Geneva investigating Gpnhliager’s me:,’unis and as a result, of the ’very favorable report issued by that committee he hoped that liberal financial aid would be forthcoming to enable this very earnest investigator to continue to produce his sera and. vaccines in large quantities.
