setlsalion at the Academy of Medicine
by a report on their discovery of a me-

tion of radium. Such !)arks have hith-
erto been believed to be Indelible. The
new method has proved equally suc-
cessful in cases of adults and children.
\larks are effaced by the simple appli-
cation of a plane . urfnce covered with
a varnish containing radium. The ac-
tion is regulated by the length and fre-
quency of -the applications, which are
a .isolutely painless. The treatment
may be applied to an infant during
sleep. The doctors add that the birth-
marks most easily cured are those
which are nuoSt highly colored.

SOME INSIDE SECJWTS OF TIIE
ROYAL DISPENSARY.
Such Precautions Are Taken Which
Benders 11 Almost Isnpossibk for
Mietakes to Occur.
Kings, like other mortals, ere subject
10 numerous ills, and frequently r'e(tuir.,
the aid of the physician -far !lore fre-
quently than is recorded in fact. While
an innumerable number of men end
weenlen have been murdered by tamper-
ing with the medicines they were lut-
ing, such t► case is unknown amongst
Reyalty of our days, says London Ans-
wers.
Recently one of our representatives
held the good forwnc to !feet it gentle-
man sotto has dispensed medicines for
practically every member of our hole'
Fancily, and this gentleman was good
enough to throw some light on the sub-
ject.
In preparing physic for Royally, na-
turally tall precautions- are liken that the
drugs are of the greatest purity. This
(tees not suffice, however, for it might
be possible for soma. evil person to eeh-
tain a position, by hook of crook, in the
establishment where the Royal medi-
cines are dispensed.
Accordingly, such elaborate precau-
tions are taken which renders it u mat-
te, of impossibility for any [mistake to
occur either
ACCIDENTAL. OR PIREMEDI'I'ATED.
Even if an Anarchist were employed
in the dispenSttry, all his attempts to
do harm would be quite futile. -
A special Royal Messenger lakes the
prescription to the Royal Dispensary,
and (here the exact time and dale it is
handed in is recorded, and the person
wlto receives the envelope initials the
record. 'Chen the prescription Ls passed
into ti room used for no other purpose
than dispensing these medicines. The
greatest precautions are tnken in keep-
ing not merely the room properly lock-
ed, but every cupboard containing the
various drugs.
Inside the dispensary are a number of
prescription [suis, each member of the
Royal Fancily having a special book.
The books are safeguarded in every
way, even so far as being protected with
massive fittings and special locks;
weedless to say, the books are always
-kicked, excepting at the time
WHEN AN ENTITY 1S MADE.
The keys of these locks ere again
fastened in a special stronghold. which
is sealed with special devices, in such
a way that it would be impossible to
temper with thein without some truce
being left.
The actual dispensing is done by two
chemists, who thus form a check on
each other. As soon as the prescription
reaches these men, the prescription
took is unlocked, and the senior dis-
penser enters a copy of the prescription,
the entry being checked by his junior.
Next, the particular cupboards are un-
locked. and the requisite ingredients
fire withdrawn, every precat.tion being
taken. Not only are the drugs, weights,
rind quantities checked by the two [nen,
but the water itself is subjected to var-
'ious delicate tests. 11 is scarcely neces-
sary to add that after every safeguard
has been taken, the drugs themselves
aro carefully analysed.
TUE MEDICINES ABBE CHECKED
1.y every delicate process imaginable,
and then carefully pa^ked and placed in
a special case, which is then carefully
lc.cked. The lock provided is exception -
idly secure and complicated. and pos-
sesses two keys, one of which is kept at
the Dispensary, while in the case of the
king the other is in the possession of his
Majesty. Thus it is impossible for the
medicines to be tampered with alter They
have left the laboratory.
During the whole of these complicated
t ro:e5ses, the two dispensers never lose
sight of their charge, and they check
41,01 other in every intaginablo way.

confidential person, who then conveys
it to the Itoyat1 personage for Maim it is

which have been used.
The medicines at last go through fur-
