In this issue Mrs Harrison LeeCowie draws special attention to *» patent wire frame invented by herself tor use in hosp tals and homes where sickness exists. It is simple and ingenious, and can be used in many ways, such as protecting patients from flies and mosquitoes, or draughts. In pneumonia or bronchitis cases it is an indispensable article, and will, on the word of wellqualified medical men, meet a long felt want. It is light, has no complicated fittings, and can be easily sti-ri-lised. Mrs Cowie’s sympathy has been with the sick, and the suffering, and the oppressed, and the invention, worked out from observation in all the leading hospitals throughout the world, will come as a welcome to many who, though suffering otherwise, will be free from the fly nuisance, or draughts from open windows, while the bronchitis patients can use the steamer with scarcely any trouble. The article is now on sale, as will be seen from an advertisement in this issue, at the low price of 2s fid each. More than that, Mrs Cowit* is not going to make a penny out of it—the profits will go to the W.C.T.U., an organisation which is so dear to her heart, and to whose welfare she is devoted. —Exchange.
