Sunding upon the roof of King George Hospital in Stanford street you look down upon a London that is new and unfamiliar. From the height of Hampstead and Highgate to the river, from the towers of Westminster, gloomy in the afterndon haze, to the dome of St. Paul's, like a pieturo in an old and splendiri frame, the city is spread before you. It is the London of heart's desire

The following reference is made to this subject in the joint report of the Principal| Civil Medical Officer and the Medical Officer of Health:-
The incidence of plague during 1014 was severe, 2,146 cases being reported (as 48inst 408 cases in 1913 and 1.847 cases in 1912),

Below the top floor are the surgical floors, These are in accordance with principles which have now won their way to universul professional sanction. The corner, that unwholesome receptacle of dust, has been abolished. Floors and walls are joined by rounded skirting board, which can be cleaned with a minimum of difficulty. In the optat ing theatres this principle has been carried farther, and a stone having the smoothness of glass has been-used, so that absolute and scrupulous cleanliness may be assured.
There are two operating theatres on each floor, one for septic or dirty cases and one for aseptic conditions. A sollier with a poisoned wound received in the trenches will thus be treated separately from a patient who may require operative measures while in hospital. The aseptive theatre will then escape pollution by bacteria. The theatres will be very wonderful when they are com pleted. They are to be illuminated in such way that they shall be filled with an ambient light which caste no shadows. An apparatus is being installed whereby opera shall be possible.
