worthy of careful study and examination. The room at the end of the 
corridor was given up to an exhibition of X-rays by Dr. Newby, and

improvements, changes, and alterations that are going on give ample 
scope for making records of what will, in a few years’ time, exist only 
in the memories of our older members who are left to us.—Signed, 
Harry D. Gower.

has not met with any results.—Signed, Epwarp Lovert.
