Especially interesting was this matter
OF research work, as | had thought,
should the Federal authorities under
whom this work must come show a
tendency not to help us, to apply to
such philanthropists as the Carnegie In
sttution, Rockefeller Institute or some
other noted society which had large en-
dowments for research work, but on the
advise, OF friends who had much faith
in Uncle Sam" taking UP this vital mat
ter TO lis, i did not wish to complicate
matters by asking other assistance. The
addresses were mastery efforts and
heartily appreciated.
MEDICOS AT SMOKER.
After this evening session a smoker
was held at the ellsworth Cafe for the
Sections of Practice OF Medicine. Dis
eases of Children, Hygiene and Sanitary
Science, Physiology and Pathology, Ma
terra Medica, Pharmacy and Therapeutics.
Physicians can be very affable fellows
when they wish to throw off superfluity
OF professional dignity. and many agree
able acquaintance were formed during
the dinners and smokers, that were held
nightly, which hope will become per-
manent.

FINDING ABLE FRIENDS.
Through my friend. Prof Judson Da-
land OF Philadelphia, | met many men
who could be OF assistance to us i'll the
leprosy question, and a number of ac-
quaintances made in Washington, no
taby among them Dr. J. n. Hurry OF
Indiana, who were very kind in pushing
Shamberg, representing the Section of
CutaneOus Medicine and Surgery in the
House OF Delegates was invited to
appear before that section at their quar-
tiers at the Shelbourne Hotel on Thurs
day p. IN. Although their time was
filled with set papers the chairman cour-
teouSly invited me to give a talk on
leprosy and exhibit the photographs of
the subjects, the settlement and its ell
vironmentS. The members were cx-
ceedingly kind, displayed much interest
and asked many pertinent questions, and a
vote of thanks was given me for the talk.
1t was also voted to ask the House of
Delegates to pass a resolution asking
Congress to provide an Experiment Sta
ton at Molokai.. consisting of hospitals,
laboratories and equipments. This was
referred to the Committee on Hygiene
and Public Health and was favorably
reported on by that committee to the
House OF DelegateS--the aforementioned
DR.. Hurry being chairman OF the COM
nittee and the report was unanimously
adopted by the House OF Delegates.
From the minutes of the House OF Dele
gates 9TH meeting. June 10. the follow
ing is copied: "Leprosy Study Station
Advised" Dr. Hurry also presented
the report of the Reference Committee
on Hygiene and Public Health with
reference to the following resolution.
proposed by DR.. Cooper, delegate from
Hawaii; Whereas, the acquisition by
the United States OF iusular possessions
in which a considerable amount OF lepro-

the American Medical Association urges
on the Federal authorities the establish
