BY A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT AFTER years of research in the laboratories of the Marconi Company at Chelmsford, an entirely new technique has been perfected for doctors, surgeons and dentists which will revolutionise their calling- by radio. Now two of the largest radio surgeon's "knife" and connected. to

But although many hospitals are buying the new apparatus, they are not, yet making full use of it.
General practitioners and all but a few specialists have yet la invesilgate the new technique, no startlingly different are the prin- i ciples from all they have been taught and trained to follow.
It may well be that this wonderful new sciences of radio healing will not come into its own until a new gen- eration of "radio-trained" doctoru, surgeons, and dentists appears.
But heanwhile, at Chelmsford, re- j search still goes on, and Marcont scientists are on the verge of even greater discoveries about the powers possessed by wireless waves of low wavelength, discoveries that age fantastle in their possibilities,

The radio-dentist would apply a little pad on either skie of the switch on the wireless and gum, cure the abscess with a short-wave position.

DEATH RAY A MYTH
I have discussed the possibilities of a "denth_rap" being discovered with mung famous sedentists, and all are satisfied that as far as buman' beings are concerned, the thing is impossible.
The heating effect of the strong- est, short-wave radiation is felt only within a matter of feet from the transmitter.

birds twelve feet away, by using powerful micro-waves, B even this did not persuade him that a "death_roy" of any practical, value was possible.
Bul the Marcunt research workers at Chelmsford belleve flaut they are on the track of death-rays for microbes.
There is nothing intrinsically mys- terious about the idea; it is just a question of careful, painstaking in- vestigation into the properties of micro-waves.
