1 The past l2 months have been (
 great time in the world of healing.
 Three things have been pushed to the
 front which are helping to revolution
 iss doetoring.
 The most importent of these is the
 light treatment, which has been az dently ehampioned by the princess of
 Wales and the dowager empress of
 Russis. The princess of Wales was
 90 anxious to see the light treatment begun here that she herself brought one of the first sets of apparatus ob- tsiaAble and presented it to the Loa- don hospital.
 The idea of the light treatment is ahst sunlight kills the microbes. In some of the cure establishments of southern Germany sun baths are regu- larly used, the patient letting the sun pour down on his uncovered body dur ing the hottest part of the day.
 In big cities this cannot bs done, but Prof. Finsen. of Copenhageu, slab- orsted an apparatus by which the seys of the electric light can serve ss substitute for the sun. The bso- seriA are destroyed by the violet and blue Paye only. and. with these rays alone. 1t is possible to stand c degree Of heat which otherwise would bs in- supportsblS. If the violet rays of c strong light gre properly applied bas- tsxiA die.
 h London this treatment has dur Ing the past few months been largely assd for the cure o4 lupus end Altn 6iseases generally.
 But even the most conservative doe- soTs are beginning to s<e thst the light cure may go very much further. They are now planning ways of apply ing the violet rsys. in connection with she Rosntgen ray appsratus. to tha lungs of consumptives.
 If this proves right, . means win be found for combating c dozen of the most fatal of modern diseases. Even cancer may ct last meet . real cure
 Europe b on the evs of 6 new boom in food. Once beef tea was all the saee, then port wine was the fad, then came milk. But the fancy food stun of tomorrow is albumen. Yari- ous makes are on the market. most of them coming from Germany and fancy names ending in "on." There are plssmon and tropon and and others. They are all bTownish or whitish powders, and you have only to take a spoonful day (so the vendors say) Co become . new man.
 However this may bs, the albumen foods are certainly going to boom. In a few months 1t will be quite the thing for ope's hostess to ask: Do 1 you take 6 little troplatose in your tear" just 1s she now asks "sny | suesr?"
