They will do this month a big book exhibit on the subject of naval and military hygiene. Glad that he will come to work.

Hopes that the Government will open a special hospital for neurological cases. The frost bites are interesting, details about them.

He wanted to have Allbutt , or Norman Moore as President, but at the insistence of the the younger members, he has been elected.
