There are several conditions marked by an excessive fatigue of the muscles of the leg, severe pain in the calves of the legs or in the knees, sudden coldness of parts of the feet sometimes Inflammation and swelling.
Sometimes the changes in the blood vessels that bring about the symptoms are so severe that gan- grene takes place and it may be necessary to remove parts or all of the limb concerned,
Vein Inflammation. In one condition known as thrombo-anglitis obliterans there are recurrent inflammations of the veins. More than half of the eases of this type occur in Jewish people and in most instances there are records of previous casca in the same family. In these cases there is not hardening of the arteries, although similar symp toms may follow hardening of the arteries in some cases,

A pamphlet which sets forth the question papers used at the open examination held in November last has just been published by the Stationery Offee. It is an interest- ing document.

Importance that a telephone superintendent should be able to make a summary, in 250 words, of a short story entitled "The Swindler Tricks the Jeweller."
And it is obviously advisable that he should be able to discourse for 90 minutes or so on the aphorism: "There is no place for conscience in the modern business world." Some may say that the qualifications for work of this kind should be more highly specialised, but, surely, these grumblers are missing altogether the modern tendency in business re- lationship.

Control is Possible.
In some cases it is possible to control the movements of the blood vessels in cage they are not themselves diseased, by operations on the norve control which eauses them to contract unduly.
In other cases in which the contracture of the vessel through nerve control is not the most prominent cause, such an opera- tlon would be unnecessary and indeed harmful.
In cases in which there is general hardening of the blood Vessels throughout the body, the nerve control does not, of course, play any considerable part.
The complexity of the situation indicates again how modern scien- tific medicine attempts to attack disease at its very foundation rather than to control occasional symptoms as they may appear.
