The rooms will be available to members at most favorable prices. Rooms in hotels will range between the following rates: one bed, 5 to 12 kronor (about $1.25 to $3.00); two beds, 8 to 23 kronor (about $2.00 to $5.75), with about double these prices if a private bath is wanted. A number of rooms can be had in boarding houses or private families for from about 4 kronor ($1.00) up. Breakfast is not included in any of these prices. This will, as a rule, cost about 1 kronor (25–27 cents, according to the rate of exchange).Those members who wish to avail themselves of the Congress Bureau in obtaining rooms should make application to the Secretary-General, stating the number of beds, the price, and whether or not private baths are wanted.Early registration and requests for accommodations will greatly facilitate the work of the Central Committee.The Central Committee in Stockholm, of which Dr. Gösta Forssell is President and Dr. Axel Renander Secretary-General, has appointed the following American Committee to have charge of arrangements for the participation of the United States and Canada in the proceedings of the Congress: Dr. George E. Pfahler, Dr. Preston M. Hickey, Dr. Leopold Jaches, Dr. George W. Holmes, Dr. Edwin C. Ernst, Dr. Albert Soiland, and Dr. A. C. Christie. The Committee met on September 21, 1927, with six of the seven members present and in accordance with authority granted it by the Central Committee enlarged itself by the addition of the following members to represent the societies named: Dr. A. H. Pirie, American Roentgen Ray Society; Dr. M. J. Hubeny, American College of Radiology; Dr. E. W. Rowe, Radiological Society of North America; Dr. C. F. Burnam, American Radium Society; Dr. E. H. Skinner, Section on Radiology, American Medical Association; Dr. Stanley Kirkland, Section on Radiology, Canadian Medical Association; Dr. C. F. Stokes, American Electrotherapeutic Association. The following officers were elected: President, Dr. George E. Pfahler; Vice-president, Dr. A. H. Pirie; Secretary, Dr. A. C. Christie.The Committee is charged with recommending to the Central Committee all participants from the United States and Canada in the scientific program of the Congress.Article HistoryPublished in print: Dec 1927 FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsRecommended Articles RSNA Education Exhibits RSNA Case Collection Vol. 9, No. 6 Metrics Altmetric Score PDF download

THE WESTERN ASSOCIATION OF PHYSICAL THERAPY

To the Editor: —InThe Journal, September 24, in a query regarding a reprint entitled Birth Marks by Dr. Lynne B. Greene read at the Annual Meeting of the Western Physical Therapy Association, the correspondent somewhat implies that the possibly questionable scientific character of such reprint reflects on the possibly scientific and ethical standing of the association. As president of the Western Physical Therapy Association may I have space in your valued columns to state that membership in the association is conditioned on membership in the American Medical Association; that the outgoing president of the American Electrotherapeutic Association is a past president of the Western, and the outgoing and the incoming president of the American College of Physical Therapy is a member of the Western; and lastly, that neither the Western nor the A. M. A. is to be judged solely by the utterances of one of its members.

A NEW THERAPEUTIC MEASURE—THE ELECTRIC-LIGHT BATH.

In a paper read before the American Electrotherapeutic Association, at its meeting in New York City, in September, 1894, I presented a description of a new method of applying heat to the body, using, as the source of heat, the incandescent electric light. I also gave in this paper the details of many experiments which I had conducted for the purpose of determining the physiologic effects of this bath, and also a comparison of the effects obtained by this bath with those obtained by the Turkish and Russian baths. The general conclusions to which I was led by this investigation were as follows: 1. The electric-light bath stimulates the production of the elimination of CO 2 in a very marked degree. In an electric-light bath lasting for thirty minutes, the percentage of CO 2 elimination during the last ten minutes was 5.13, as compared with 3.60, the average of CO

Electricity for Salpingitis.

Chicago, Ill., May 12, 1894. To the Editor: —I always find it interesting reading the report of the proceedings of the American Electro-Therapeutic Association, and in theJournalof April 7 an article appeared read before that body by Dr. W. B. Sprague, of Detroit, on A Contribution to the Electro-Therapeusis of Salpingitis. As this subject is of great interest, and as I have found it especially interesting, you will pardon me if I review his article. The pathology of tubal troubles has been so recently evolved that the therapeusis is still in the embryonic stage. Many of our leading lights declare that there can be no rational therapeusis—that there can be no remedy but extirpation—as if decapitation were a cure for cephalalgia! Yet many men have a firmer faith in nature's economy, and are seeking to aid her efforts at repair by, at least so far as possible, removing

<h3>American Electro-Therapeutic Association.</h3> Second Annual Meeting, held in New York, October 4, 5 and 6,1892. William J. Morton, M.D., Prest. Second Day, October 5—Morning Session. The authors conclude that the human organism is in no wise apparently affected by the most powerful magnets known to modern science; that neither direct nor reversed magnetism exerts any perceptible influence upon the iron contained in the blood, upon the circulation, upon ciliary or protoplasmic movements, upon sensory or motor nerves, or upon the brain. While our observations with reversed magnetism indicate that no appreciable influence is exerted upon the brain when subjected to 280 magnetic reversals per second, we were unable to experimentally alter this frequency, and the possibility remains that some particular frequency or frequencies might affect the nervous system. We hope to decide this question, within a suitable range of frequency, at some future time. The ordinary magnets used in medicine

Case of Mal-Assimilation of the Phosphates and Carbonates.-Reply

To the Editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association Sir: In sending you the stenographic report of the Transactions of the American Electro-Therapeutic Association at its meeting in September, I presumed its value to you as news would be impaired by undue delay, hence the several speakers were not given an opportunity to correct the notes of their remarks. The discussions are therefore verbatim, and allowing for the possible existence of slight errors in notes that fill more than four hundred pages of manuscript, are an exact reproduction of what the speakers actually said. I well know that few physicians speak in public with the same directness and brevity with which they write, but if the reports of the discussions that occur at these great annual meetings are to be published immediately, as they should be, it becomes impossible to submit the separate notes of five different sessions
