A medical man with a first-class training, placed in the midst of
such conditions, has a wonderful professional opportunity. Problems
requiring investigation abound, and there is such a wealth of clinical
material that he has all that he can do to keep from being swamped.
The only limitations are those of ability, training and physical strength.

Only a few days' journey from the hospital at Busrah is a small dis­
trict in Persia where perhaps ten per cent, of the population is afflicted i
with vesical calculus. They come to the hospital for operation in
ozens and in hundreds, and for years I have been hoping to have ;
‘ cw free months to spend there in the search for some clue to the i
etiology of the trouble.
