Sea water is being taken from the North Sea to London at the present time in considerable quantities. It is used increasingly for medical purposes by hospitals and other institutions, and private patients are also supplied with it in accordance with doctors' instructions. The water is collected by trawlers on the Dogger Bank, and is drawn up in special receptacles, which are sealed and kept on ice during the journey to port. In this way the water is kept free from any possible contamination.
