When the Kings County Medical So

The cause of the trouble is Dr. En-

visiting staff of physicians to the
Kings County Hospital, composed of
forty of his friends. The appointments

The original cause of the row dates
back to 1889, when DIR. Paul Kretzsch-

the Society for the appointment, by
the Charities Commissioners, of a visit

was defeated by an overwhelming ma

Apropos of the sensational reports OF
