Remarkable Cures Declared to Have

British soldiers was the statement to-
day of DR.. BrueStlein, chief surgeon
of this resort. Five hundred officers
and men are undergoing treatment
here.
There is our chief physician" said
DR.. Bruestlein, pointing to the sun.
The sun is responsible for some
really remarkable cures here. Sun
treatment is not IL novelty in mcdi-
cine. but never before has any organ
lied attempt been made to adopt IL for
wounds. fractures and ,other surgical
cases. Whit doctor a few years, back
would have Imagined that the sun
could reform lost bones? Yet, this
miracle actually is being performed In
the case of British soldiers informed

The process of bone formation by
The sun Is extremely slow, but the
TACT remains that bones shattered by
shell or surgically removed are being
replaced by new bone substances

The sun regimen is n severe one, and

An Irish soldier arrived at Chateau

WAR DESTROYING LAND
Displacement OF Earth Lcnvcs Surface
Mainly of Chalk.

LONDON, October 21.-Land actually
is being destroyed. at least its useful
ness is at an end, by reason OF the
gigantic struggle in France. This is
the conclusion of Sir Herbert Mat
thews. who had just made II tour of
the Albert and Fricourt districts as n
representative OF the English commit
tee which has been collecting money
to help in reinstatng the small farmers
in the countries of the allies. He says
the general displacement of the earth
by intrcnching. shell pits and mine
cratcrs has so churncd up soil and sub
soil that lcveling will leave Il surface
mainly of chalk
How long nature will take to cover
this with enough soil to sustain vegc-
tation is difficult to say. but. in Sir
Herberts opinion, it does not appear
commercially feasible to redeem this
area.
