THE COMMONWEALTH
A QUEER CONSUMPTION REMEDY Press Association—By Tel. —Copyright. PERTH, April 29. The Hospital Board, after an investigation of the attack by a newspaper on the conduct of the consumptive hospital at West Subiaco, decided to aslc the Government to undertake an independent inquiry. There has been trouble over Dr Paget leaving for England to forward his consumption cure, on the alleged ground that the Government would not afford adequate opportunity for testing it. Dr Gordon, honorary physician to the hospital, states that the cure consists of the insertion in the nose of two metal props to dilate the external nasal openings as widely as possible, and then drying in the sun the patient's own sputum, turning it into a powder which is inhaled into the nose like snuff. Dr Gordon adds that the Government has given Dr Paget every facility. DEAR MEAT. SYDNEY, April 29. The price of meat has reached record high levels. Compared with only a year ago the shops show an all round advance of over one penny per pound. The retailers state that this is due to the advent of Americans into trade in Queensland.
