comparison between the chances of
recovery of hospital patient todav
and those of his fellow of $50 wears
ago emphasizes the great strides which
have been made In medicine and sur :
gerry in that time. Such a comparison is
made possible by a series of investisa-
lions now being carried out by the
statistical department of the London
Hospital.
The present-day hospital patients
larger hopes or recovery are most
strikingly illustrated in comparing
old-time results obtained in such acct
dents as broken limbs with modern re-
suits. The table below shows that 4
simple broken leg. which nowadays
may be practically disregarded as a
possible cause of death, was at one
time almost as dangerous an ailment
as pneumonia.

The seriousness with which a COM
pound fracture zone in which an open
wound extends from the skin down to
the broken bone) used to be regarded
can hardly be realized now in the day )
of antiseptic surgery. In 1882 of four
cases of compound fracture of the leg
admitted to the hospital all died. Fa-
talities from compound fractures of the
limbs unaccomponied by other compli-
cations are practically unknown today.
In pneumonia modern methods have
greatly lowered the death rate. in
1920 Of a total of twenty-five patients
admitted within the year suffering
from pneumonia seven died. Modern
hospital treatment could be expect ed
to save at least twenty of every TWEEN
ty-two patients admitted with the dis
ease.

constantly appearing in the old files of

seen at the hospital, are leprosy diff

EMINENT RUSSIAN VioLINlsT
 WILL PROBABLY COME HERE. Arthur M. AbeIf Tells Of $he Gifted Powers of This Marvellous Player,

The announcement made 3. short time age that pians wers yxfdar conSid eration to bring Mischa. Elman, the great Russian viofinist, here for con- interest amongst these who find pleas tTe in hearing the great musical art ists of the world, and a fair response was made to the invitation of the pro- motors, Messrs Archibald Mitchell Eugene Wallner and Henry A. Tirrell, to subscribe for tickets. By which a goodly number have expressed by their suhscrip tions desire to hear this en- 2nens artist, enough pledges have not yet been secured to warrant the pro rnoters in closing the option. Up to the present time only 2S2 tickets have bean subscribed for. and 4ee are need ed to inset the necessary expenses of the concert. IL is 8 certainty that if all the music lovers fereabouts knew af the n1arvelotfs artistic powers of this gifted vsclinist the requisite number of subscriptions would be forthcoming at once.
 Arthur NJ. Abell, the Berlin eorre- spondsas of The Musical Courier. who is well Known in Norwich comments as follows in 8 recent issue of The Courier of the playing of this cele- Brated violinist at a concert in Berlin:
 M1scha Elman gave g. magnificent HesHerfnance of the Brahms concerto at the second Nikisoh Philharmonic concsrt. Tine one time Rus sian prodigy has natured into 8 great artist and it is nc exaggeration to say that he is one Of the very best of Ewing violinists. Ssnoe his last appearance here a year ago Elman has grown very materially in point of refinerne ent of tone produc- tfoa and finish of technic. Musically, too, he has grown more refined. His reading of the Brahms concerto was very satisfying and finished to a high degree of perfection"
 It would be most unfortunate to have th1s opportunity to hear such a world ceieh<ity as Mischa Elrnan rejected for lack of appreciation. The promoters of this concert are disinterested, ex- cept for an earnest desire that Nor wfch music lovers should have the op- poptunity to hear such eminent artists as this Russian violinist at a nominal cost, and their efforts should be en- couraged by all who take an interest in, mustc
 The subscription list is now at the store of George A. Davis and all inter esbed are urged to add their names to the subscription list at an early date.
