ho bears as head of the federal
health to-guilization is u real one
and not easily exaggerated. If

If false serums should he marketed
an dhold. the public health service
would get the blame. The man at

huuiliirian, with a broad under
standing of presenl-dny trends In
medicine, and, more than that, he
must Ik a good administrator and
somewhat of a diplomat. lie.

Some of the achievements of the
