"The American Medical Association."

Abstract

Tecumseh, Mich., April 20, 1896. To the Editor: —TheAmerican Medical Association— what is it? A Correspondent asks theRecordthe above inquiry (see p. 843). It would be a difficult matter to state whether or not the above paragraph emanated from the brain of the editor of theMedical Recordor the printer's devil; it is unworthy of the former and scarcely worthy of the latter. Permit me to state for the benefit of theMedical Recordthat theAmerican Medical Associationis the only association that represents the medical profession in this country; that it is large enough to hold the brainy editor of theRecord, and that it is even worthy of every effort that he may make to get there; that it possesses the best medical journal in America, and its editor knows how to run it. Very respectfully,
