Lord Horder drew a picture of two new deadly diseases of the "future in a lecture at the Royal Institution recently,
After he had recalled the Great

MODERN ILLNESSES'
Of other modern nesses he sald
Influenza: "Still the great out- standing plague with which medi- cine has to contend."
Tuberculosis: "It looks as though Banyan's 'Captain of the Men of
Death' will be overcome in another generation. Its decrease in the past 30 years is perhaps the greatest achievement in the control in in- ! fectious disease in this generation."
Neurasthenia: "One of our major problems in medicine to-day, both as regards causes and treatment."
