A year or two ago it was planned to remove mo the building, as it was not suitable for any university' purpose. To -day, housing, as it does, the only "Insulin laboratory" in Canada, the building, together with its reeently installed equipment, it worth upwards of $35,000. The Insulin laboratory is one of the latest chapters in the romance of In- sulin. It stands as e Confirmation of the success ofthe research of Dr. P. G. Basting and his fellow -investiga- tor, Charlet: iI, Best, 14I,A.• Its map- agement and operationare in the cap- able hands 'of Mr. Best, who has,from the beginning„ been in: oharge of the large-scale production of insulin. `The laboratory is operated'as a division of the famous . Connaught Anti -Toxin laboratories, of which Dr. T. G.'Fits- gerald is director and Dr. R. D. Def - ries,; associate director. The business administration,, is in charge of 11r.. Fitzgerald and Dr. Defries. Mr. Best is assisted in the new laboratories by D. A. Scott, .M.A., as assistant direc- tor, and a -stab. of twenty-six people working night and day shifts, With the exception of three trained' chem- ical technicians, under direction of Mr. Arthur Wall, who was the first technician- to assist Mr. Best' when the manufacture of insulin was begun; and four chemists, the staff is largely technically untrained. During the summer months five medical students were employed in the laboratories and during the winter two students are engaged in partstinie work. The erection of sucha completely equipped plant was made -possible through the'' Ontario Government's grant of 325,000, the remaining $10,- 000 to $15,000 •being secured from•. funds of the laboratory and from pre nate donations. The plant is now pro- ducing in the neighborhood of 250,000 units a week for distribution through- out Canada, Ireland,. South Africa, Central and South America, New Zea- land, .Australia, and other countries where plants have not been establish- ed. The average dosage for the dia- betic patients for whom such a largo quantity of insulin is being prepared varies from 15 to 20 'units a day. The price for which insulin is dis- tributed is, as with other products of the Connaught -Laboratories, governed entirely by costs'of material and of production: The Cennaught. Labora- teries are not engagejl' in commercial business but constitute a department oe the University of Toronto. Mr. Besthas called attention to the grad- ual .fall- in the price of., instriin. In May, 1923, the material tine sold at 5 cents per Unit, lit June at 3 cents per quit and now at •2 cents per unit. • The distribution of insulin is .ef- fected through two channels. The first is hospitals -which have organ- ized departments' for ;the administra- tion of insulin.- The second is through physicians trained in the use . of in- sulin. For these latter a special short course ofinstruction was provided at the University of 'Toronto last July wider the direction of Professor Dun- can Graham: . The preliminary 'stages in the pre- paration of the health -giving, extract are conducted in a large laboratory in the north-east' earner of the insulin building where beef - and pork pan- creas (sweetbreads), fresh -from the abattoirs, are first minced in a large meat -grinder, dissolved in .vats of alcohol, and then placed in a large basketentrifuge. The liquid is drawn off frote the centrifuge and further clarified by filtration through paper in glass funnels. This liquid, con- taining the soluble constituents of the pancreas, is reduced to a ,small volume by evaporation of the alcohol and water content in a large vacuum still. The residue contains the insulin. The solution is merited, in two chemical: laboratories, one on the main floor sed one on the escond floor, by chemical procedures 'known• as' "Emotional pre- eipitations." The purified ,product is then sterilized, standardized, and filled into vials for distribution by the Con- naught Laboratories. But the equipment of the Insulin Laboratory embraces more than the mere processes necessary to produce the serum. A distilling room' on the main floor :contain's a large rectifying still, vacuum pumps, 'and condensers by which the used alcohol is reclaimed.

An oil -burning furnace in the base- went supplies steam for the vacuum still and a refrigeration machine cools the alcohol condenser and !manufac- tures cakes of ice for small refriger- ators. A large electric `fan' is kept running continuously to ventilate the laboratories and clear the air of al- cohol fumes. . On the second floor, in addition to the . purification laboratory, there is a:laboratory in .which two 'chemists are employed on research work in con- nection with insulin. CIean, well - ventilated rooms ars provided for the animals used and a small', operating room is near at hand. The preparation' of insulin is con- trolled by patents- applied for, in var- ious countries. of the world; by the original inveatigators. These patents have been 'assigned to the University of Toronto and a committee, appointed by the Board of Governors, is respon- sible for the' administration of patent and other rights and for the promo - ton of efficient production and distri- bution of insulin in all countries of the world. The original investigators, Dr. Basting and Mg. Best, receive no financial benefit from the patent but desired: to prevent. the filing of other patents Which might restrict the pre- paration of insulin. - In Great Britain complete patent rights havebeen as, signed to the . British Medical Re- search Council and in the United States the Ely, Lilly' Company qf Indianapolis has been licensed by the University of Toronto to manufacture insulin. .The licensing of. other firms in the .United States is at present under consideration. ' Rights in all countries. except. Great Britain have been retained by the University of Toronto. ,The patents' for insulin have been obtained. largely through the efforts of C. 11, Riches, a patent lawyer of Toronto, who has given his services to the Unil+ersity without charge.

Mr. Bull's script is as fine and regular now at 771 as it was when ee took up a clerkship, as a boy, of 16. He drew up the wed- ding;contracts for the marriages of Princess Mary and the Duke of'York and hopes it will be his privilege be- fore retiring to prepare the license for the Prince of Wales's wedding. Mr. 'Bull believes the ` deterioration in handwriting to -:day is due to the abandonment of quill pens. He begins engrossing a royal marriage: license it a very methodical way, the fira',. operation being the preparation of a dozen quills, which are fashioned si n to give varying .degrees of .shaditee.

A despatch from London says:— Iiing George will create two more royal dukes in the persons of his younger sons, Prince .Henry and Prinde George, it is stated by some court intimates...

This title probably will be chosen for Prince Henry. It was last borne by the second son of Queen Victoria and discarded when he assumed .the German title of his father, the Duke of', Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha. The titles Duke of Kent and Duke of Sussex, which were borne by Queen Victoria's father and uncle respective- ly, and Duke of Gloucester and Duke of Clarence, all of" which are now in abeyance, aro expected to furnish the necessary appellation for Prince George, unlees his Majesty decides- to break, new ground with a hitherto un- used name for his youngest son.
