Notes of the Congress. ti Prof. Tillmanns of Liepsic, whose treatise on modern surgery has been translated into n all of the modern languages, the Japanese translation having just been completed, is d one of the prominent figures in the con- a. gress of American physicians and surgeons. 0 Prof. Tillmanns has expressed himself as w greatly impressed with what he terms "the rt wonderful practicability of the American I scientific mind." He declared last night at the banquet of the Therapeutic Society that he had learned many things during the con- O gress, and expected to learn many more be- % fore its close. "You can expect a great discovery in d< medicine only abut once in ten years," re marked Dr. Reynold Webb Wilcox of the a' Harvard medical faculty today. "The last R discovery of importance was that of the aI serum theory, about ten years ago. Since ai that time this theory has been developed through the application of the best thought tr f the medical profession, and the advance ent in its perfection has been steady, with g esults highly satisfactory." b "There are no national lines which can be gj rawn in science," remarked a prominent , ember of the American Therapeutic So- fg iety today. "Science embodies the very , est thought of every nation, and it is not d: nfluenced by geographical lines of govern- si mental systems. It does not reduce all to a ower plane of medlocracy, but it raises and hi rings together the best in every country." b: A luncheon was given by Dr. and Mrs. Z- sl . Sowers, this afternoon, in honor of Dr. T aisted of Johns Hopkins University. it si Athletic Contest Declined.
