Mr.. PHILLIPS Of Bar Harbor: Mr.
Speaker and gentlemen: l rise re-
gretfully to offer some amendment to

have not done as they promised to
do. I am not speaking for myself
alone for l have kilograms from the
presidents Of the medical boards of

treatment in acute Bright's disease,
, commissions. septicemia. and all those
things which are attendant upon
