S.-physiatric hospitals. All general hospitals of course treat the metabolic disorders. Dr. Allen was the first to set up a special shop, the Physiatric Institute, in Banker Otto Hermann Kahn's onetime mansion at Morristown, N. J. That was in 1920. Since then two of his pupils have branched off-Frederick S. Modern, 32, at Arrowhead Springs...
