Work in Wide Area.
"You know. this work isn't just local.
1t covers very wide area. 1t covers
in its practical application the need OF
cooperation Of science in this whole
section of the United States. 1t needs
the help of other hospitals and other
institutions, so that we can carry out
a rounded work down here. am very
happy tina. Dr. Hoke has made 1t pos
sible for us to be affiliated with the
Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta. and am
glad That Dr. Floyd McCrae is here to-
night SO that we can tell him a little
bit of our appreciation of the splendid
cooperation that the Piedmont Hospital
Is giving to our foundation.
And now I am going to introduce
to you another very old friend OF mine.
We have been working on q great

that we were doing. But this is the
first time that he has had q chance
to come down here and see the work
with his own eyes. You all know OF
him and you all know of the splendid
contribution he has made to American

Then we have another problem. No
body knows anything about the water,
where it comes from or where it goes.
All we know is that out of these hills
come all kinds of water. I often think Of
the fact that about miles west of here
there are White Sulphur Springs and
Black Sulphur Springs and Yellow Sui
phur Springs, and here we have our own
Warm Springs, with magnesium and
lime. Only about mile east of here
there is spring that has nothing in it
at all except that it is just plain water
and very cold and then about five miles
further there is another spring that has
iron in it. Yet there has never been
