President Hardin says Medicine Has
lad Greater Progress in Last
Three Than In All
Previous Time.

InEee bechoen Ih1n IN All
Previous Time.
I'VE can say with assurance OF being
correct that within the last three decades
there has been more actual Advancement
In the various lines OF medicine tina in
all preceding time since the day of Escu-
lapius. The real key to progress was never
held in the hand Of the medical man with
which to unlock the door to 30 many Of
the mysteries of our art and science before
this time. Now many OF it's hitherto hid
den truths, great discoveries and valuable
lessons explaining man and his relation
to health and disease, have become COM
mon possessions, common property"
This was one Of the opening statements
Of DR.. c. B, Hardin Of Kansas City, presi-
dent Of the Medical Society Of the Mis-
souri, Valley, which began It's tw~enty-seo-
ond annual meeting yesterday in this city,
In his address, which was delivered at the
evening session.
DR.. Hardin, after referring to the prog
ress which had bean made in medical
science In most recent times, expressed
the opinion that the real renaissance Of
medical development is greatly a future
achievement and that the Medical Society
Of the Missouri Valley must lend, II II Il
to live, its aid In solving those greater
problems.
I'VE must remember" said DR.. Hardin.
"a society, like an individual. can easily
go to sleep. II its progress is arrested
by lethargy and Indifference for only a
short time, II loses its grasp on modern
medicine. Can we afford in any way to
lnhibit progress. and become Indifferent to
the Advancement OF those around us7
The most effective means of accomplish
ing these various achievements, In order
to keep our finger on the pulse Of mod
ern medicine, should engage our most
careful consideration. Only In this way
can q medical man or a society Of med
ical men treat with justice themselves and
the public, whom they should honorably
serve"
In closing, President Hardin offered sew
eral suggestions for the future government
Of the sessions Of the society. Among the
suggestions were shortening the program,
some OF which he considered had been
too crowded; discretion in the classified
ton of papers and the selection of med
ieal men to read them; the holding Of a
symposium at least once a year or even
at the two sessions OF the society, and
elevation in the character and scientific
aspect Of the papers.
