"Even the first few applications" of Zam-Buk soothed the smarting irritation, subdued all inflammation and enabled me to secure the sleep and rest which I was so badly in need of. When other sufferers were in hospital laid-up with fever sores following the bites, persistence with Zam-Buk resulted in my poisoned skin being thoroughly purified and heuled."

Roumania, Bulgaria, and Turkey. The Vienna medical school with its old interna- tional reputation, will find an opportunity of showing its now scientific work-and latest developments, for, despite the war and fta: aftermath, progress has never stopped.
There is plenty of new research work, and quite a number of important results baves been achieved. The Vienna Profesor, Ernst, Spath, has attempted to produce soveral vegetable substances by artificial methods,. sad it la declared that his discoveries mean an essential step forward in organic chemistry. For Austria their success would be a bood, since she is obliged to buy most ingredients of remedies and other chemicals abroad.
The attempts at the transplantation" of eyes, especially by Theodor Koppangi, have created a stir. Even fifteen years, ago the Vienna biologist Dr. Edasri. Thienhuth, who now works at the Hocke feller Instituto at New York, tried the transplantation of eyes on cold

It is unfortunate that many experiments, are bampered by lack of facilities. Two laboratories at
