Medic Group Off
to Study Higher-Ups
Dwelling in Peru

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 15.--Eight
medical investigators will sail from
New York for Peru on the steamer
Santa Teresa, tomorrow to undertake
among the natives at Cerro de Pasco
studies of the physiological changes
which enable people to live perman-
emily at high attitudes. The studies
are said TO be the first of their kind.
CerrO de Pasco, a copper mining
center situated in the Andes at a
height of more than $4,000 feet is one
of the loftiest places on the globe
where any considerable number of
people live. Vi
It is believed that the facts to be
secured about the way in which the
colony adapts itself to reduced sup
ply of oxygen will prove useful in
the treatment of certain diseases of
the heart and lungs. The problem is
also of interest to aviators who fire.
quently suffer from the effects of fy
ing at high attitudes.
The party will consist Of DR.. Al
fred c. Redfed, assistant professor
OF physiology at the Harvard Medical
school; DR.. Arlie V. Book. of the
massachusetts, General hospital: DR..
Henry S. Forbes. now engaged in re-
search in Industrial Medicine at Har-
ward; Dr. 9. A. l.. Binger of the
Rockefeller Institute, New York. and
DR.. George Harrop. of the Presbyter-
ian hospital, New York, all graduates
of the Harvard Medical school. The
expedition was organized by Joseph
Bancroft of Cambridge University.
England. who will also be accompan-
led by Professor j. G. Meakins of
Marlborough University and Dir.
Doggart of Kings College, Cam
bridge.
After completing the studies at
Cerro de Pasco. the investigators eX-
'pect to pass short time at Ticleo on
the waterside of the Andes. Ticlco,
nearly 10000 feet high, is the highest
standard guage railroad station in
the world. ..
