Attendance a Question.
It is impossible to state specifically
how many will be here for the congress
it IS even out of the question TO state
approximately. owing TO the fact that

and kindred organizations from all over
the United States will send representa-
tives.
Every State in the Union will be rep
resented by prominent physicians and
others interested IN the work. II Is ex-
pected that Texas alone will send a
delegation Of 800, while go are coming
from Virginia, and Georgia will send 200.
