On the first floor there will be offices, library, reception rooms, three perfectly equipped examining rooms, supply and sterilizing rooms, treatment rooms for ambulatory cases, and the laboratories. In the construction of the building, ample and well arranged space is provided for a most modern X-ray laboratory, which will be completely equipped for diagnostic and therapeutic work. On this floor also are large and perfectly equipped laboratories for clinical and research work. The radium laboratory was designed in consultation with Prof. Duane, Research Professor of Physics, Harvard University, and recognized as one of the greatest authorities on radio-active substances. This room contains a specially constructed vault, in which is stored the radium, nearly one gram in amount, and valued at approximately $120,000.00. The emanation apparatus, measuring instruments, and other necessary equipment, are being installed under the personal direction of Prof. Duane, whom we are so fortunate as to -actical and lecting the purposes, r apparatus ital in New Mayo Clinic. r.

Gray's Tonic Comp., to saved many of these cases of nervous depression from developing into graver ills. A generation or more ago the sentiment of the medical profession was in favor of descriptive names of ethical remedial agents; the opinion prevailed that names indicative of the composition of pharmaceutical agents offered ample protection against confusion. It was in conformity with this sentiment that Glyco-Heroin was selected as the most appropriate name for what has come to be one of the most universally esteemed respiratory sedatives. But experience ultimately proved that the non-descriptive appellation affords a much greater measure of protection against confusion. Accordingly Glykeron was selected as an alternative name for this preparation. Glykeron and Glyco-Heroin now being synonymous appellations, and familiar as such to all dispensing pharmacists, the physician may use these names interchangeably when prescribing what was originally known only as Glyco-Heroin (Smith). Since Glykeron is the more distinctive appellation, its use is suggested to physicians when prescribing this well-known preparation for cough, bronchitis, pneumonia, phthisis, whooping-cough and kindred affections of the respiratory system. "Memories of Lord Lister" is the title on an interesting and illuminating paper by Sir St. Clair Thomson, M.D., that appears in The Modern Hospital for July. Some journal or some person who could spare the money should put a reprint of this paper in the hands of every physician in Canada and the United States. It is wonderful that this plain, modest man-Joseph Lister -who died in 1912, should have saved the lives of untold millions! ractical and Hlecting the c purposes, ar apparatus ital in New Mayo Clinic.
