Isir presence, il seems, is one OF

Emeliofate their wretched condition.

this applies with exceptional force

appoint Il corps of medical officers,
employ trained nurses and con-

h, it would in time possibly lead up
he founding of Il medical school.
Ire would be an abundance of clint

shon with the school 1t perhaps
hit render the publication

bools and medical journals to n city
