We have had sun cures and water cures and grape cures, recommended for various ailments, but the latest cure, which has been recently discovered by some marvellous medical genius is the most wonderful of them all. By it (if we survive the treatment) we are to be made new men or women altogether. The modus operandi sounds uncomfortable but must be borne stoically for the sake of the results to be achieved. The patient (wrapped in some light wool garment) is enclosed in a tubular chamber the air inside which is gradually reduced to temperature far below zero, the result being that all the microbes in the body are destroyed and he returns to the world a new man. As Tsay, it sounds hugely uncomfortable andso far I cannot discover the time required to be spent in effecting the cure. Tam inclined to think one would run a serious risk of returning as a block of ice in which condition one would not be a very useful member of Society.
