Dr. A. H. Larson was in Washington a short time ago on his way to Skodsborg, Denmark, where he will be associated with the sanitarium work. He planned to spend a few weeks in Melrose before going to his field of labor.

The Christmas number of the English Good Health has had the widest circulation of any number ever published. The entire edition of seventy-five thousand copies was disposed of in a few weeks. This great success was due to the hearty co-operation of all the workers and Sabbath-keepers throughout the kingdom.

The Leicester Sanitarium has enjoyed good patronage during the past autumn, not only of in-patients, but also of outside patients from the town. The Leicester physicians are taking an increasing interest in the sanitarium, and frequently send patients for treatment. Mr. Wm. M. Scott acts as local manager, and Mrs. Scott is the matron. Both of these nurses are graduates of the Caterham Sanitarium Nurses’ Training-school.

The Rostrevor Hills Hydro has been under the management of Dr. and Mrs. H. J. Williams during the past year. This institution was formerly located at Belfast, and was then known as the Belfast Sanitarium, but it was soon found advisable to move it into the country, and the change was made about two years ago. The institution has had a fair patronage, but it has not yet been sufficiently brought before the notice of the public. As it becomes better known, the patronage will doubtless increase. The situation of the Irish institution is delightful in every respect.

Dr. A. B. Olsen visited Scotland recently, and gave lectures on the following subjects: December 7, before the Edinburgh Vegetarian Society, “Errors in Diet;” December 8, before the Edinburgh Health Culture Society, “Germs, Friendly and Otherwise;” December 9, before the Glasgow Health Culture Society, “Nerves and Worry;” December 10, before the Scottish Vegetarian Society, “A Healthy Man’s Ration.” These lectures were well attended, and much interest was manifested by the people. In each case an hour or more was spent in asking questions and answering them after the lecture. The Glasgow Health Culture Society had secured a large hall with a gallery, and that, besides the platform, was packed full of health culturists and those interested in the subject. Sir Samuel Chisholm, formerly lord provost of Glasgow, presided.
