Editorial Comment ST. LOUIS The meetings of the American BIDS YOU Medical Association are becomWELCOME ing more interesting each year. The increased attendance at each succeeding meeting is sufficient evidence that these meetings hold considerable nterest for the visiting physicians. The Scien; fic Exhibits and the Scientific Assemblies re beyond question the finest postgraduate courses which any physician can hope to obtain. A week or as many days as you can spare away from your office could not be spent more profitably. The American College of Chest Physicians will hold its Fifth Annual Meeting at the Chase Hotel, St. Louis, on May 13-14, the two days preceding the meeting of the American Medical Association. An interesting Scientific Session is being arranged by the Scientific Program Committee of the College. Prominent speakers have been invited to address the assemblies. The Entertainment and General Arrangements Committees have prepared interesting entertainment features. We are looking forward to a large attendance at this meeting. In order that you may obtain the kind of hotel reservations you desire, we urge that you communicate now with the manager of
the Chase Hotel and make your wants known to him. Desirable hotel accommodations for the meetings are taken up early, so if you are planning on attending the meeting, make your reservations now. It would be well for you to notify the Executive Secretary of the College when you have completed arrangements for hotel accommodations, giving him the name of the hotel where you have made your reservations. This will enable the office to keep you posted on arrangements for the meeting. R. B. H., Jr. VENDORS For twenty years State MedOF SHODDY icine has been slowly, but quite thoroughly, taking over the control of treatment of tuberculosis in these United States. Many of us have viewed this transition with deep regret. We have suffered financial losses because of investments in private tuberculosis hospitals and we have lost remunerative positions on the staffs of these private hospitals. These changes, incident to State Medicine, commanded our attention because they were personal. Physicians soon recover from the sting of personal loss and as soon as a little perspective is gained our group realizes that the terrific loss is to communities that lose so many beds
