Last week, to marshal Medicine's best weapons against this troublesome ailment, the New York Academy of Medicine summoned the best available authorities to a special symposium.

Dr. Emanuel Libman, a great internist whom they will honor with a "homage book" next year, gave them his encouragement. In that way the Academy began a fortnight's thoroughgoing post-graduate course on the U. S.'s worst affliction...
