Seriously, though, there wereample bathing facilities in all the wards. Thebath-tubs were large, with an ample supplyof both hot and cold water and with inletand outlet pipes of large diameter, so thatno time need be wasted in filling and emp-tying the tubs. We saw also in this depart-ment a patient treated for tri-facial neuralgia by means ofthe Rontgen ray. Such treat-ment was new to us, but wewere assured that the ideawas ^aus Ameriha.^ In the pathological labora-tory I felt more at home than in any place Ihave been since I left the States, for hardly 5 65. MEDICAL EUROPE had I entered when I noted two or three Uttlelaboratory stunts in use that I happened toknow originated in the laboratory in whichI used to work at home. Where did you get this idea? I askedDr. Schueninoff, who is chief of the labora-tory, pointing to some material that was inprocess of preparation. *I got that fromChiari, he answered, *when I worked inPrague, and Chiari got it from Mallory whenMallory worked in Prague. Surely thepathological world is small! There are about four hundred beds in thishospital, and yet Dr. Schueninoff averages sixhundred autopsies a year. If a man wantedlots of pathological material I know of nobetter place in Europe to get it than right would be welcome, and could do as muchas he wished. He could have a seat in a large,well-lighted laboratory, with the autopsy-roomat his elbow. He would find better technicspracticed than in most German , sadly, he would have to live in
