The ancient portions of Rome' are taking on a new appearance, The Forums, temples, and other historie. monuments of the past, no longer stand neglected in mean streets but are being gradually isolated and railed off, and surrounded by gardens whore, following the plan used on the Palatine, it is the care of the archaeologists to plant those shrubs and flowers, which were in common use during the Roman Empire.

HINTS FOR PATIENTS.
Have You Heard?-
A Glasgow man on hearing that big Aberdonlan friend was getting married decided to give him a present.
That malaria eaures a quarter or more of the total sickness in the tropics is one of the points emphasised in a 15 rage pamphlet, A Summary of Facts
Being a Scotsman he was very Regarding Malaria, by Colonel Sir Ronald Rose, K.C.B.. the director-in careful in his choice, and sent his chief of the Ross Institute and Hos Aberdonian friend two pigeons, pital for Tropical Diseases, and Swhich were "homers.". Malcolm Watson, príncipal of malarial control at the Ross Institute,
A record and revised edition of the pamphlet has just been published by John Murray, Albemarle St., W., at the price of sixpence,
The pamphlet explains, in non. technical language, how the malaria
parasites (piusmodin) are introduced into the blood through the probosies of an anopheles mosquito, take up their residence ench in a red corpuscle, and number of spores · which produce a escape from the containing corpuscle and enter fresh corpuscles. And it in explained that this method of propaga tien may continue for years.
"Millions of Millions." Thus, though only a few hundreds o thousands of the parasites may have teen originally introduced through the mosquito's proboscis, their number some millions of millions of them mas rapidly increases until as muny na exist in the blood.
The various types of nialuvia fever are clearly described and it is em
A few days later the Glasgow man received a letter reading: "Dear Jock, the pigeons tasted fine."

It is now proposed to revive tho once famous Roman Carnival, now fallon into disuse, at the nearby bathing resort of Ostia, and there is also talk of reviving the famous horse race which, in the old days, was run down the principal street of Rome, the Corso Romano, which takes its name from this ancient event-British United Preas.
Settlement was reached in the Probate Court in a will ease in which the plaintiff, who was suing his son, was stated to be dying in the work house.

Appeal For Members.
Mr. Hodgson, in thanking the meet- ing for the honour done him in elect- ing him President of the Association, made a strong plea for more members. There were about 2,000 private car owners in the Calony, he said, and every one of them should be a member of the Association. (Applause). The ex- pense of joining was nominal, and as insurance companies gave members a special rebate on premiums, which in most cases covered subscription to the Association, motorists really joined the Association for nothing. He personal- ly intended to make an effort to more than double the membership. (Ap- plause).

(1/3 gramme) of quinine should be taken by an adult patient every day without fail for four months; but he should consult a raedical minn regarding details of the treatntent.
The mode of infection and the life; history and habits of anopheles mosqui- toes are next described. It will surprise some people to learn that the anopheles consist of about 120 known species, only some of which carry malaria.
Finally come a few hints as to per-1 senal prevention.
