When this the best the United St Government could do operating such fine properties as those mentioned, it would appear that the Ottawa Government has in the G. T. P. an exceedingly diffi- cult problem. The X-Ray machine which has recently been installed in the Royal Victoria Hospital adds another very valuable feature to this institution, which now has an equipment, in all respects, equalled by few town hospitals in the province. This machine is of the same type as is used in many of the military hospitals and for its size is unsurpassed in Toronto. In the wonders of modern scjence the Roentgen Ray, or X-Ray, must be conceded a leading' place. Already it has worked wonders in surgery, being of inestimable yalue in the treats ment of fractures. In dental work it is being very largely em- ployed, many troubles otherwise untraceable being located by its Juse and the proper treatment made possible, It pla: im- portant part, in dealing with pathologieal Gonditions of the |xtomach and intestines.
