Some time ago an officer gave
graphic description OF the long lines
OF wolves stealing from the coverts

stated that the sight OF these gaunt
forms. dimly limned against the dark
sky. as they busted themselves with
their ghostly feast, would never be
effaced from his mind.

is suddenly called upon to repeat in
definitely a complex and unaccus-

London physician. "a spasmodic
paralysis is very likely to develop.
Knitters' neuritis begins with the
worker feeling that the usual wrist
and finger movements cannot be fol-

the muscles get stiff. and in the later
stage develop a spasmodic cramp as

taken into the fingers. Although the
fingers are thus affected whenever an

Simple Life at ST. Andrews.

The university of St Andrews,
where Professor Herkless is appoint

James Donaldson. formerly bore closer
resemblance TO our southern seats OF

The practice of residing within the
walls prevailed longer here than else

RADIUM AS CANCER CURE
10 Especially Useful in Healing Super
fetal Cancers Of Skin and
Other Cases.

OF 746 cases OF cancer treated In
the Radium Institute Of London last
year there were 90 apparent cures.
while 1928 were reported improved.
Many of the cases came TO the atten-

stage TO be remedied.
The comparatively new curative
known as radium is especially useful
in dealing with superficial cancers OF
the skin and with cases that are not
easily operable. Conveniently handled.
IL gets at growths which cannot be
reached by means of the Xrays. Be
