"There are yet many obscurities in medical knowledge," said Dr. Cannon; "for instance, scarlet fever, measles, infantile paralysis, and cancer afford wide fields of investigation. The average physician may not make worldwide discoveries, yet, like a picture puzzle, every addition is needed. There is a certain thrill that comes to a man when he makes a great discovery; he realizes that he has found a truth, a truth which will help...
