Is the Importance of the laboratory
Overemphasized? Is the status of the
practicing physician inadequately ap-
praised? These questions are suggest
ed by the experience of the country
during the infantile paralysis night
mare. 1t is the working physician who
is obliged to meet all conditions and in
each case to decide the problem OF
treatment. The laboratory has been
prolific in theories but so far in regard
to this disease has contributed moth
ing that can be depended upon as val
liable. The laboratory's time to be of
service may come, but so far the prac-
ticing physician holds the center of the

are born at the end of winter on both
the northern and southern hemi-

ambitious of earning money find gain
full employment easy to secure.
