ANTISEPTIC PREMIER PASTE. ’

THIS adhesive paste has been given a considerable trial inour offices, and we can speak favourably of it. It formsa very useful medium for photographic mounts and forall’ departments of labelling. It is clean, soft, and sticky,and goes further than many similar pastes owing to itsuniformity of composition, for there are no lumps, thestarch being thoroughly gelatinised. The whole is keptsweet and free from moulds by the addition of an anti-septic essential oil. It is supplied by the British Manu-facturing Company, of Beechcroft-road, Leytonstone,London, N.E.

Mr. Robert J. Hillier, M.R.C.S. (Sheffield), asks whether thereis any home for feeble-minded children where a girl of alittle over 2 years can be received. She has some paralysisand also occasional epileptiform attacks. She has beenunder observation for a week in the Children’s Hospital,Sheffield, but it is not considered possible to operate. Theparents cannot afford to pay.
