Book Description

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, Vol. 2: 1904-1905 At the meeting of the Society for Experimental 'biology and Medicine, on April 19, the editor was instructed to present, in this volume, a brief biography of the founder and first president of the society. It is expected that the biography of Dr. Meltzer [page 5 will be followed, in succeeding volumes, by similar sketches of the lives of the future presidents of the society. The constitution, as given on page I I includes the amend ments that have been passed [page 99 since the publica tion of volume I. The numerals in parenthesis before the titles of the abstracts [page 19 (8 indicate numerical positions in the entire series of communications presented before the society since its organization. These numerals are given on the assumption that some of the mem bers desire to have bound together several (perhaps the first three) of these volumes. In such cases the numerical arrangement re ferred to, and that adopted for the index, will facilitate reference to the abstracts. The same is true of the page numerals in paren thesis.
