Doctors visiting the 200 exhibits in the District of Columbia Armory during last week's A.M.A. Clinical Meeting saw some promising new professional aids. Among them...
Gynecologic Disorders. Some doctors still fear that women who participate in competitive sports suffer bad effects, including masculinization and menstrual disorders. But Illinois' Dr. Gyula J.
