Mr. Hardie has been straad since July last, an. has visited Canada, Japan, Hongkong, the Straits Settlements, fodio, Australia, and South

Africa,

Interviewed, be said he had been restored to health, but still felt some of the effects of the molor-car accident which happened to him in New Zealand, when he was hurled 18ft over an embankment, He left Canada with the impression ibat for the time the colony is over populated, and that a good deal of distress prevails consequent upon unemployment.

JAPAN WORSENING, to Japan he saw signs that the condition of the people indusizially was worsening, owing to too rapid development commercially.

In ladis he found deep poverty and distress After visiting Hongkong and Shanghai Mr. Hardle touched at the Straits Settlements, where be was entertained at Government Hause. On his way to India his first impres sions of the Indian Empire were obtained at Colombo, whence he proceeded to Calcutta, Bombay, and Simla...

to the Straits Settlements he noticed that [45 excellent provision was made for the protection and importation of labour-Chinese and Indian coolic labour. As far as he could see, if the necessity for this labour was admitted, the arrangements were as humane and as good as the law could make them

Speaking he said he was siru-k by the poverty-stricken condition of the people in the villages. The misery of the aliuation was enhanced by famine and plazua,

Talking of Australia, Mr. Hardie said the principal feature which attrac'ed his attention was the way in which land was held in big

estates. In South Austrália, for instance, there

were cases he knew where farmers had to migrate to neighbouring colonies owing to the difficulty of securing land, Efforts were being made to impose a graduated land tax, with a view to breaking up these big estates and making them available for closer settlements.

recognised that they legislated for the common good of the Commonwealth, and not sof one section of the community. It was a common remark of busigess men in such places as Sydney and Melbourne to openly express A preference for a Labour Government over al- most any others.

Mr. Hardio said New Zealand was the nearest approach to the ideal State that he had seen in the course of his travels. Everywhere there was an air of prosperity, largely due to the Socialis tic legislation of the New Zealand Government,

Speaking of South Africa be said there was general depression, and distress, and distrust, and suspicion of everyn and everything throughout the whole of the colonies. It ap peared to him that there was a distinct feeling of relief that the Dutch were in office. Asked whether that feeling extended to the British, he auswered in the affirmative, excepting only a small and irresponsible jiogo section.

A special instru- ment has been invented for stanching the flow of blood which usually rushes out when the lung in cot, with such rapidity that the patient bleeds to death in a few minutes, and the result of the operation seems to point to the fact that the surgeon ns well as the physician' will be able to cure phthisis in the future.

Several other consumption " curs" injections have been tried of late years. Five years ago Dr. W. J. Fralick, one of the most eminent physicians of New York, gave a public demos- stration in the Metropolitan Hospital of a new remedy for tuberculosis with which he claims to have successfully treated many patients. Briefly, his method of treatment is as follows. Incisions are made in the veies at the band of the elbow, and into these are introduced glass nozzles connected by rubber tubes with glass funnels, into which a liquid, having properties similar to those existing in äli normal blood, is poured, and thus carried into the blood cur- rents, every part of the system, being brought into contact with the new agency within three minutes.

being noticeable within a few days from the beginning of the treatment.

What is known as the "light" treatment has also met with decided success. Professor Fiesen has effected some remarkable cures ́by means of a special electric lamp, combined with concentrated rays of the sun. This was an advancement on the idea of Dr. J. Mount- Bleyer, the well-known specialist on lush, and throat dissases, who eight or nine yen age asserted that by extracting the ultra-violet and other rays from the sunshine and showering them upon the human body microbes could be destroyed and consumption cured. The rays were collected by means of glass bouses, with various coloured, parei of glass in the roof under which the patient sat.

+

To a certain extent Dr. Mount-Bleyer's idea was adopted five years ago in this country at a certain hospital. The patient was placed in a glass cubicle, but, instead of relying on the altra-violet and other rays to effect a cure,tho patient was given a constant supply of rarefied air, specially treated by ozone on an extended scale.

These and many other cures have been tried with more or less success; but consumption as a disease to which the old saying," Prevention is better than cure," applies with particular force, and simple prevention will go far towards
