It is a fear which many of us to whom it has been expressed have found it very difficult to allay, This 'though was certainly upper- most in my mind (says a correspond- ent to the London Times) when I first passed through the gates of Queen Mary's Convalescent Aux- iliary Hospital (for soldiers and sail- ors who have lost their limbs in the war) at Roehampton, in the County of London; for I, too, had failed fully to recognize the wonderful progress of science, and had very little real conception of the rapid and marvel- lous strides which have been made in the creation of artificial limbs. In the beautiful Roeharapton House, generously lent for the pur- pose by Mr. Kenneth Wilson, with its peaceful grounds, our mutilated sail- ors and soldiers can obtain a new ]ease`of life. They receive there the best possible artificial appliances and instruction in their use—an exceeding- ly important work, for in the past many a man has cast an artificial limb aside for the want of a little instruc- tion as to its working. There artificial hands are taught to grip. The men learn to walk with their new legs as well as they ever did.

The great rooms, with their hand- somely painted walls and ceilings con- verted now by the necessity of war into bright wards, were a wonderful eight. Over each bed I noticed the name of the donor (£50 maintains a bed for a year, and many are taking advantage of this as paying a fitting tribute to some dear one who has fall- en in action).
