LESS DRUGS USED.

Not the least interesting or impor-
tant of the conventions which have
been held of late was the eleventh an
nual conference at Washington, D. c.,
of the American Hospital association
which has just been brought to a
close. And a prominent place among
the features of this gathering must be
given to the many illustrations which
were presented of the rapid decline
of the use of drugs in the various
hospitals of the country. 1t is to be
presumed that similar conditions are
to be found in the general practice of
medicine outside of hospitals.
These facts were shown in the re-
port of the committee on hospital eff
ficiency, hospital finance and econom-
les of administration which was pre-
sented by DIR. R. r. Ross, superin-
tendent of the general hospital of
Buffalo, n. 7. He declared that fif-
teen years ago the annual cost of
medicines for each patient in the Mas
sachusetts general hospital was $3.50,
while last year it was only 81 cents.
There had been quite as marked
decrease in this respect, he said in
the Buffalo hospital and in many 9TH
er large institutions which he men
toned.
TT is difficult to predict what the
future of medicine in hospitals is go
ing to be- said DR.. Ross. ''Undoubt-
eddy drugs will continue to be used,
but other agencies or some agency
still unknown to US will have a place.
There will perhaps be doctors to
preach and pray. doctors to prescribe
drugs and operate. These statements
may seem to be in lighter vein, yet
hospitals are beginning to adapt
themselves to the changed conditions"
Another most important suggestion
came from DIR. Ross committee. It
urged full publicity of hospital at
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-09-27

fairs, declaring it to be entirely ethi-
cal for hospitals to present their adj
vantages before the public in an at
tractive manner and In such way as
to encourage confidence IN the public
and knowledge among patients that
their interests are being carefully
guarded.
A just criticism against the man
agement of altogether too many hos
pitfalls is that there is too much secret
iveness and mystery thrown around
their administration. Nearly all of
them are of nature of quasi-pub1iS
institutions and their affairs should
be attended with publicity. There will
be far more confidence in all hospitals
among the rank and file of the peo-
pie generally when such conditions
prevail. Any hospital that might be
injured by a proper publicity about It's
management and conduct in all of its
details has no place in any commun-
ity.

The career which made him the
greatest naturalist Of his time, and
one Of the greatest of all time. was
commenced at Gottingen in 1889. He
made visits of scientific exploration
to the Hartz and the banks of the
Rhine, and his investigations resulted
in his first book. Later he entered
the Mining academy at Freidburg,
where he had the benefit of the pri-
vate instructions of Werner. He was
afterward appointed to an office in
time publishing several scientific sci
entific treatises dealing with his dis
coveries. He also carried on physio-
logical researches, which he elabora-
ted in a work on 1.-THE Irritability of
the Muscular and Nervous Fibers."
In 1898 he began a series of ex-
plorations which extended all over the
world, particularly in America. The
record of his travels was published In
his great and monumental work, con-
