Lord Northcliffe sent to the Ti'ines of Vi'ednesday an account

of medical work at the front which is the best thing we have read on this subject that is all too little written about. Lord Northcliffe, assuming no knowledge on the part of the reader, dcrcrites the medical system from beginning to end, and conveys to us admirably the spirit which animates a splendid Service. It is not possible to summarize an article of this kind, but we fcurd particularly impressive in their simple vividness the accounts of the Regimental Aid Posts (the moat advanced posts of all), where doctors work under heavy fire with two panniers of divas, instir merits, field dressings, acetylene lamps, and electric torches, and of the Advanced Dressing Stations a little further back but still in the fire zone.
