WONDERS OF SURGERY.

THE CONQUEST OF PAIN. A SUNDAY EDITION STORY. , One of the most wonderful stories in connection with war surgery concerns the invention and adoption of nikalgin, a marvellous anaesthetic discovered by an American, who,' strange to say, had the greatest diffi-l cully in convincing the British auth-l orities to test it. Ultimately it wasi adopted with wonderfully efficacious results by the French. The; story of nikalgin, together with ai fine portrait of the discoverer, will' appear in the to-morrow's Sunday. Edition. The approach of Carnival Week! gives an added interest to sporting news, and "Templar's" weekly arti-, " cle will deal with Bryce's stable, which contains amongst oilier well- 1 known horses, the Trotting Cup candidate Cathedral (mimes. "Pet-; ronel's" Turf and Stud, and the; usual budget of track and stable gos-j . sij) from our special contributors, will be found specially informativei and up-to-date. = Literature is always a strong feature of the Sunday Sun, and the re-1 views this week include a notice of a new book by C. J. Dennis, author of "The Sentimental Bloke." The serial, "Witte Arrives," has now ' reached a highly interesting stage. 5 and the short stories and verse are > the best of their kind in current ; literature. On the woman's page there will 5 be a fine article by Max-Pemberton, , describing the Women's Army Auxi-j ' liary Corps, in addition to "Lucia's", entertaining "Letter to a Lonely Sol-, " dicr," and other topical matter, i Other features include "The Children's Hour," the "World of Lat bour," "Interesting Facts from . Science and Life," etc. The principal sporting event! \ which takes place to-morrow is the ' ViR.C. Derby, and the result of this ' and other races at ITemington will 7 be found in the Sunday Edition, toi gether with reports of all the local I cricket, tennis, bowling, and other t outdoor games. Country visitors arc reminded \ that the Sunday Sun is published ■ at 7 o'clock on Saturday evening and that it contains all the war and " other news which comes to hand r after the ordinary Edition goes to t press. Both sections should be se- : cured by visitors and together they • comprise the biggest and most com- , plete newspaper in New Zealand.
