Interviewed this afternoon on his return by tiie Climaroa from a trip to the Old Country. Dr Hardwick s-miih stated that Ids experience at Homo had further convinced him that radium was a necessary adjunct m proper expert hand- to the treatment m malignant diseases. li" had studied experiments at ids old l-(*it'lon hospital in the treatment of malignant diseases in women by radium. Radium in, combination with surgery gave a greater proportion of cures in malignant disease than surgery alone gave. He was delighted to hear that Wellington intended to obtain a supply of radium for Wellington Hospital. Radium treatment would be 0/ inestimable benefit to the public generally, and

no centre like Wellington could regard it.sulf as properly equipped medically without radium treatment for malignant and other diseases. 'He found that the daily pres;, in New Zealand gave more notice to scientific advances than did the daily press at Home, and that the standard of the people’s education on public qiitr-tiou-was higher here tban ai Home. tiil: "CF.i;ai.\x hiimiLb."
