TROPICAL MEDICINE.

Daily the conventional barriers between one science and inother are being broken down Notably is this true in the case of medicine. The British Medical Journal," for instance, has lately published papers by Mr. Frederick Soddy, Sir William Ramsay's brilliant assistant on the possible inhalation of radio-active gases in cases of pulmonary disease; and by Pro fessor Kari Pearson on the statistics of anti. typhoid inoculation. Tropical medicine, again, has lately discovered the enormous importance of insects in the conveyance of disease. (It may be noted that bacteria are not insects. but unicellular vegetable organisirs.)
