THE AMERICAN WAY

“THE NEW SENSATION “ AND NEW ZEALAND WOULD WELCOME IT. THREE HUNDRED MEDICAL MEN, Dr. Franklyn Martin, of Chicago, one of the guests of the Rotary Club at its luncheon, was stated by the chairman (Dr. Herbert) to have been largely responsible for one of the greatest health movements that had ever taken place in America. It was, said the chairman, mainly lurpugh Dr. Martin’s organisation and efforts that the American hospitals had been standardised and lifted to a place that perhaps was not equalled anywhere else in the world. . " r - Martin had asked him how would ’“be if he and his colleagues brought 300 or 400 American leading medical men and their wires on a trip to Wellington. It would not cost us anything, as they would charter two bag ships, steam into cur harbour, live on the ships while here, give a dissertation or two, and then go on to,anorii* l r port. (Applause.) He had told IL. Martin that we were quite prepared to stand the new sensation and welcome him back with 300 or 400 of his distinguished colleagues. (Loud applause.)
