Hidden in some bandages, a medical appliance containing a small quantity of radium, worth about £IOO, was thrown into the fire in mistake by a Birmingham doctor about six months ago. The firm from whom the appliance was hired were informed of the loss, and for months they' have been carefully watching a little heap of cinders which under treatment has been gradually giving up the lost radium. About one thirty-thousandth part of an ounce has been recovered. Ae the market value of radium is about £450,000 an ounce/ the amount so far recovered is worth about £ls. Its radio-activity is apparently unimpaired, and it will be used again. For Influenza take Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. Never fails. 1/6, 2/6.
