The Rational Treatment of Catarrh

چکیده

if they failed to agree together. The end of the story-honours, titles, riches, the knowledge of having given to the world immortal works. And even in their passing was the quality of topsy-turveydom. The gay Sullivan, now an invalid, struggling to compose appropriate music for Kipling's "Absent-minded Beggar." And the ironic Gilbert, who once said: "I should like to die upon a summer day in my own garden," losing his life in saving a woman from drowning in a pool at his home near Harrow. VVhat a Gilbertian contrast to the remark of Private Willis to the buxom Queen of the Fairies in "Iolanthe," when she pops the question: "Well, ma'am, I don't think much of a British soldier who wouldn't ill-convenience himself to save a female in distress," Sullivan died on 22nd November, 1900, aged 58 years. His body was embalmed, and at the express wish of Queen Victoria, was buried in the crypt of St. Paul's Cathedral. A monument to his memory was erected in the Savoy Gardens, Embankment, and when Gilbert was asked to choose a quotation from one of the libretti, he suggested this couplet from the "'Yeomen"' "Is life a boon? If so it must befall That Death whene'er he call Must call too soon." The Gilbert and Sullivan Society still make a yearly pilgrimage and place wreaths on the column. Gilbert was 75 when he died, and his remains were cremated-he had no use for the pomp and the purple-and his ashes are buried in Great Stanmore Churchyard. He is immortalised, however, by the erection of a bronze plaque placed in the Strand, opposite Charing Cross Station, close to the memorial to Sir Arthur Sullivan. The inscription is worthy of it and of him. "His foe was folly and his weapon wit." "Fame was theirs at the end of their days, An even greater fame is theirs today ." THIS monograph, written by a Physiotherapist, who is obviously an enthusiast, gives a full account of the use of infra-red and ultraviolet rays in the treatment of catarrhal infections of the nose and sinuses.
