 and discussion is Of immeasurable value to the physicians and surgeons who attend-which means the vast ma l jority of the medical fraternity of | Phoenix and vicinity. For instance, ! Dr. Pearson Of Glendale thinks enough | of these meetings to drive in every
 Saturday night from Glendale. except | ing of course. when he is detained by ! professional work of an emergency
