worlds foremost figures in medicine. He
spoke at some length on the cure and
prevention of disease, and said:
Even such a disease as boils whose
literary history antedates the Exodus,
and whose eradication from these poor
bodies of ours seemed as remote as that

student days that seems to remain unin-
fluenced by the march of time is house
