Special to Telegraph.
NEW HOSPITAL IN LONDON. EUROPE AHEAD OF ENGLAND.
AUCKLAND, This day. "The liecessity for providing private wards for paying patients in public hospitals is rapidly heing recognised in England," said Dr. F. S. Batchelor, a promineiit Dunedin surgeon, who returned by the Rangitane after a liolidav visit to England. There' was a large number ^f middleclass people who could not dfford the expense of a private hospital, but who did uot want to acqept charity. Dr. Batchelor said that experimeutal work was receiving far more attentiou now than was the case some years ago, when England seerned to be lagging behind America. Much work was being done in investigating the radium treatment of cancer, and a new hospital was heing established in London for the treatment of cancer by the radium process. Europe was far ahead of England in radium work. "Although eminent medical authorities have not reached any final decision about the possibilities of radium treatment, it is now generally realised that it is not a cure for all it was once thought to bo," said Dr. Batchelor.
