(Its president is Stephen Rice Jenkins, 71, of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, a province with only 63 physicians for its 87,000 people.) Dr. Routley's election was commendation for his organizing work in Canadian medicine. Because his C. M.

Generally acclaimed as the greatest of Canadian doctors was the late William Osier (1849-1919), who taught...
