EDITORIALS Dr, J. Lowe Young Dr. Young's friends were shocked and grieved to hear of his sudALLdenof death. This came as a surprise because Dr. Young had recently passed through a serious operation to relieve the pain which he suffered from a hip joint involvement. This condition had become so serious that the pain was excruciating, and everyone familiar with the condition realized that it required a considerable amount of determination and" nerve" for a man of his age to undergo such a serious operation. His friends were pleased to learn the operation had been successful in relieving the pain, and he was making a satisfactory recovery. 609
