*\Ve have done what has never been done in tlie world before,” she added.
“Galloping consumption is supposed to be an incurable disease." Mrs. Gould stated afterwards, “the cures are wonderful. They were carried out at the L.C.C. hospital at Highwood, Brentwood, Essex. When the patients, two boys, were brought in. X-ray photographs showed that they were hopeless cases. “Now. only a few months afterwards. one of the boys has been discharged as cured, and the other is well on the road to recovery. “The treatment includes a gold salt treatment, and these are the ITrst
