others, were literally showered upol
him. He was identified with the mobiles
enterprise for the betterment Of socia
and health conditions in New Yorl
City and the country at large. Hi
fame spread far and wide and he wa
revered and recently m0urned as on
of the noblest of men and scientists.
Another old, revered physician of New
York City is Simon Baruch, father O
the fnancier Bernard Baruch, who wa'
chosen by President Wilson for mos
important work during the war and n
the Peace Conference.
DIR. Simon Baruch also came from
Germany, where he was born In 1910
He was surgeon in the Confederate
Army under Lee during the Civil War
and practiced afterward in South Caro-
lima. At first his special subject was
gynecology, but gradually his interest
shifted to hydrotherapy and he became
its foremost authority In the world. He
taught hydrotherapy at the New YorI
vocated sane physiological remedies
paying attention to diet and rest
exercise and baths. He proved to be
the great benefactor of the poorer ele
ments of the population by his initia
tive in securing the establishment OF
free public baths in the larger cities OF
the United States. He wrote extensive
ly OIL the subject and taught it till re-
Gently at the College of Physicians and
Surgeons. Thru his life and work
millions of men and women have found
the joys of life enhanced and its pain
decreased.
Having considered the venerable
deans of American medicine, jacob
and Baruch, we pass on to brief
survey of the other members of oul
race, who by virtue of their ability
and skill are playing great part In
American medical progress. In view OF
the Inadequate sources Of information
at our disposal, we could not in all
cases bring our material up to date

the reservoir of intellectual energy in
n people barely 80 of the population
of this country.
1t is hard to decide which branch OF
the very complex field of medicine Jews
like best. We find Jewish genius
applying itself to problems of medical
theory as well as of practice. With
that characteristic tenacity of purpose
for which ages of intellectual activity
have steeled him, the jew plunges into
all the manifold branches of the ever
and ever ramifying science of medicine
Problems of internal medicine ant
therapeutics seem. to engage the Jew
to great extent, but then he furnfshe:
also wonderful research workers in the
semi abstract sciences of physiology
here as well as in Germany (ref. Zun'
and Geiger) brilliant names are found
aplenty in Bacteriology and Pathology
and then again very brilliant ones IL
Pediatrics and Neurology.
