BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
ONE OF THE important signs Of
the times Is the amount Of space
which the newspapers give to an
nouncements Of new discoveries in
medicine. Whenever scientific
meeting convenes. as is happening
this week with the American Medical
association, the newspapers all over
the country are filed with accounts
of new cures and new ideas about
cause and prevention Of different dis
eases.
It is inevitable that this should be
so. The public is distinctly interest
ed in medical and scientific head
lines. So when the program Of a
meeting is published. the alert news
paper reporter seeks out the scien-
fist who is reporting. and If he
thinks the subject interesting. pub
fishes a resume Of his findings and
his opinions.
AS an illustration Of how much
times have changed. we may COM
pare the enormous amount Of pub
licity which was lately accorded to
the announcement by DR.. Hartmann,
Of New York, that 1t was possible
to kill the pain in a tooth by local
application before drilling was insti-
tuted, and the original announcement
of surgical anesthesia itself. My
friend. DR.. Howard w. Haggard, tells
me that We may search through the
newspapers Of the year. 1916 without
finding more than one or two OBJ
scure accounts Of the momentous
event of the Massachusetts General
hospital. when ether was first adj
ministered for surgical purposes
These few announcements were in
the form of advertisements to catch
the public's eye.
Warning Necessary
Now with our present system Of
publicity for these things, word
Of warming is necessary. The medi-
cal men understand it, but the pub
lie, generally, think that If an an
nouncement is made about some such
thing as neuralgia, or angina pecto-
ris, or infantile paralysis. at med
ical meeting. it must be final. They
want to get hold Of the treatment at

Ing up Of the curtain tonight on

championship and the Martin Scully
trophy and In 1885 they provided
strong opposition to the other con-
testants. The Robins. and Baldwin
Props have participated In the
league but have never at any time
presented q real threat for prom
nance.
A sort of puzzle is the newly Or
ganized team, the Gents OF the Hill.
which Is composed OF several players
who starred with entrants in the
league during the past. Several who
have never appeared at any time on
the Community house court will be
