The genuine faith-healer adopts the attitude that, every disease, known or unknown, can be cured, providing the patient has enough faith.
It is at this point that the doctor takes up the cudgels. Often be adopta similar methods himself. Auto-suggestion is part of his stock-in-trade. "Take up thy bed and walk" is one of his constant commands; but-and this is the vital distinction-he differentiates between functional disorders and organic diseases.

This will be Sackville Street, which runs from Piccadilly to Vigo Street. And as the top end of it is within a few yards of Regent Street-just where it begins to curve on the Quadrant-Sackville Street may be regarded as an portant shopping link Regent Street and Piccadilly. It is reassuring to learn that it is not merely a hope for the future, but that work has actually commenced on the scheme by the building of one of the corner blocks facing Piccadilly,"
This is important news indeed, for it occurs at a time when there is some concern as to the future development of Mayfair, and much uncertainty as to what is, or what is not, a shopping street, as well as a complete bewilderment as to the best street to go to for a cer- tain article. At this time we badly" need shopping places which have a distinctive atmosphere" associated with a certain kind of business.
Symmetry With Variation.
OUR EXCITING CENTURY!
MR. OSBERT SITWELL'S DISCOVERY.
SOBER TRUTH,"
Mf. Osbert Sitwell, "member of the famous Sitwell family, has made a startling historical dis- covery!" This is it:-
So far from being the dull and prosaic era generally pictured, the 19th century was in reality the most ronautic and exciting of all cen- turies."
With Miss Margaret Barton Mr. Osbert Sitwell has published a book, Sober Truth" to vindicate the maligned years of the last century.
Quoting freely from bygone Daily Chronicles and other documents, he bas assembled a collection of fau- tastic, grotesque and mysterious, episodes to justify his claim.
Don't. Sueer.
Declares Mr. O. Sitwell, it is as useless to sneer at the 19th century as to throw stones at your grand- mother's tombstone,
There is the story of the exter- mination in St. Kilda of the last great auk."
Two men who captured the great auk took it for a witch-a story which finds its parallel only in the story of the ape which cscaped and was arrested, court- martialled as a French spy, and publicly hanged.
Then a little later the century distinguished itself by producing the body of a mermaid caught somewhere in China" by a fisher- man.
"It was brought to this country and exhibited at a well- known coffee house in Piccadilly, where for three weeks well over 300 people a day came to see it."
In this case the land is in a fortu- nate position: the whole of it is On held by the Sutton Trustees, the east it is bounded by the Crown property of Regent Street, and on the west by the property of the

To her amazement she found that with the assistance of two nurses she could walk. A day afterwards the went round the ward unaided From that moment she never look ed back. "Within a fortnight she was well. Today, after more than a year has elapsed, she is doing her household duties, and at a medical examination she was passed as a first-class life.
There is not one doctor in Eng- land who could not produce similar evidence from his own experience, In a word, then, the general medi cal attitude towards faith-healing is that any patient whose complaint is determined by functional dis- orders can be successfully treated by auto-suggestion, or even by bypnotism, but that serious com plaints require other methods.
The faith-healer goes much fur- ther. He declares that organic disorders consumption, diabetes, blindness can and have been cured through faith, and faith alone. Very well, it is a simple matter to prove or disprove this stupendous claim,"

that happy sense of security in an ordered scheme, free from the rude
shock of ill-bred architecture, or the dreadful thought of what might happen next door:
Mr. George J. Skipper, F.R.I.B.A., is the architect. The general style of the street will be in keeping with the traditional manner of the eighteenth-century squares of Lon- don. It is important to remember, however, that the street is not a very wide one, being only about forty-six feet in width, therefore the buildings will not be too high: their heighte will be varied in dif- ferent parts of the scheme and their detail will be friendly and intimate. This is as it should be in an exclu sive shopping street where people may be allowed to gaze for a little while without the distractions of kenvy bus traffic.
Forecourt and Fountains.
The important points in the lay- out, such as the ends and middle of the scheme will be emphasised with handsne stone buildings cf greater height, having the tradi tional forms of columns and pedi.. ment. Between these, and liaking them together into one arrange- ment, will be buildings of simpler design with stone, below and walls of brick above. There will be at tractive shops in the lower parts of all the buildings.
