People do not know as many odours as they suppose, according to a New York invest- igator. Testing 255 girls with a set of 20 common odours chiefly essential oils, only 6.73, on the average, were correctly named. Thoro most often identified were wintergreen, camphor, peppermint, vanilla and cloves; those least often recognised were hemlock, bergamot, asafotida, wormwood and lavender.

It is explained that cells of cancer and other diseased tissue, being unable to profset themselves by absorbing colouring matter from the blood and becoming pigmented, are killed by the sunlight; and that mountain resorts are specially favourable because the intensity of the light is groater, there is less vapour, and the air is free from germs,
