The advantages offered by the newform of lamp have led many to take upthe light treatment, who would not havedone so under the older Sectional View of the Cox Lupus Lamp. (Heathcote Patent.) a. a.

There can be no gainsaying the factthat at any rate in lupus and rodent ul-cer the results produced by the light andx-ray treatment are far more successfulthan those obtained by any other meth-od. The only question which has yet tobe answered is that of permanency, aquestion which must wait f
