346. Sterility clinic. A special clinic for the investigation of female sterility has been started and is held once weekly. There have been 129 attendances and utero-tubal insufflation by the kymographic method has been carried out in all cases.
347. Deep X-ray and radium therapy. Considerable use has been made of the new facilities for treating malignant and other diseases by means of deep X-ray therapy, and the results shown have so far been distinctly encouraging. Since the supply of radium again became available during the latter part of the year four cases of carcinoma of the cervix have received full courses of treatment, and a long waiting list has been built up.
348. Department laboratory. With the approval of the director of medical services, a room has now been set aside in the Queen Mary Hospital as a department laboratory. The room is adjacent to the university gynaecological ward, and has already proved to be of the utmost value to staff and students alike. Space is also available in the laboratory for the collection of pathological slides which is being built up, and for the storage of the gynaecological records, which are now being filed according to a new system.
