A CALL FOR DOCTORS.

In response to a call from the government for the services of .more doctors, we print below a letter issued to the profession by Dr. 0. E. Glick, secretary of the Newton-Jas-per Medical society, which is self explanatory and reads: Kentland, Ind., April 30, 1918. The Surgeon General has*»made a special appeal to Indiana doctors to enlist in the Medical Reserve Corps. To meet the government’s request the Indiana Committee of the Medical Section of the National Council of Defense has planned meetings of every County Society in the State on May 7, the anniversary bf the sinking of the Lusitania. Our meeting will be with Dr. T. E. Collier at Brook on above named date at 8:00 p. m. The state association has assured us they will send us a speaker, if possible a member of the Medical Corps. This call is to every doctor in Jasper and Newton counties, regardless whether they are members of the state and county societies. It is a call from your country to help make this meeting a success, as there are a number of problems that must be worked out by the medical profession as the war goes on and the increased demand for physicians is supplied. Thus it is a patriotic duty to be at this meeting, and to do your bit. No doctor has a right to subordinate his country’s call to his private business. Can we expect you at Brook, May 7th?
