pital, next Sunday afternoon, will be
DR.. John p. Goodrich. He will take
for. his topic "The Origin and Devel-

teresting of the series of lectures to
he given at the hospital during the
next few months.
The story of the X-ray is a real
drama. People are apt to take. the
X-ray for granted. They know little
or nothing about it. what it is, and
how it was discovered and developed.
And yet its history makes one of the
most interesting stories. ever told.
DR.. Goodrich has had a great deal OF
experience in X-ray work and knows
his subject thoroughly. His nnessag
should be instructive as we'll as en-
tertaining to all who are fortunate
enough to be able to hear him.
The lecture will commence at p.
NJ. and it will be well for those de-
sirous of attending to come early so
as to be sure of getting a seat. The
meeting last Sunday was attended
by an audience which filled the lee
ture room and undoubtedly there will
be an even greater number at this
meeting. The subject for the subse-
quent meeting will be announced
upon Sunday.
