New York, March -Triennially the
doctors and the scientists of the world
hold a monster primary, to which every
physician and original investigator with
a diploma can be admitted, be he a per-
sistent and obnoxious advertiser of his
cures, or be he the most decorous of
medics The laws of the city, the coun-
try, the state and the national medical
associations have no weight with this
great body, but never yet in the history
of its memorable meetings have any but
the most reputable sought to pose as
teachers for those who gather there.
The assemblies are historic in their i'm
portance, unique in their social aspects,
and tremendous in their influence on the
medical thought of the age. Historically,
they mark an epoch in the discoveries of
the intervening years. Socially, they
| bring together the learned men of far
away Cathay, and the most progressive
doctors Of European and American uni
versilies. Every language spoken by civ
ilized man is heard in corridors and meet
/ Ing places of the various sections, and
every phase of life finds its expression
| there
| On March 80 the eleventh great assem-
| bly, viii be held in Rome, and the first
/ greetings will be the cordial words of
| welcome uttered by the white haired
| King OF Italy, Humbert l. Then will come
