student only two types of maggots or blow fly larvae can be used in ther apy stated dr pyle these par ticular types eat only the diseased tissue and prevent the formation of pus or other infectious materials describing the experience of dr baer during the world war when he observed that a soldier whose wounds had not been treated for seven days showed no signs of fev er blood poisoning or pus forma tion in the wounds the speaker discussed the empirical evolution of larvae treatment to its present stage larvae are collected the larvae are incubated for two days pointed out dr pyle presenting the audience with a bot tle containing 1,000 two-day-old specimens and are then injected into the wound which has been pre viously surgically opened and ster ilized four or five groups will usually cure the most stubborn cases dr pyle declared illustrating his point with motion pictures of cases which had been cured after 40 years of af fliction the development of the maggots may be retarded indefinitely by keeping them on ice thus the two day old larvae may be shipped to california in ice packs and still be effective changing his topic to nutritional therapy dr pyle showed the

jonathan burke severs of the department of english who is on leave of absence for one year has written an article for the march issue of p m l a the publica tion of the modern language as sociation of america entitled the source of chaucer's melideus professor severs is spending his leave of absence abroad studying the manuscripts of chaucer his ar ticle in p m l a is 12 pages in length and discloses much informa tion which professor severs found in a new manuscript melideus is a medieval tractate on prudence and is a close trans lation of a french treatise by chau cer which was placed among the cantabury tales previously the source was believed to have been le menagier de paris professor severs found a new manuscript mss 1165 in the bibliotheque na tionale which he says is a better source but even that is not perfect professor severs expresses doubt whether or not chaucer ever saw menagier and believes that chau cer used as his source a still undis covered manuscript in conclusion he says what we need now is a careful examination of these french manuscripts and a comparison with chaucer until the completion of this examination we should not rely on menagier songs and
