TO THE EDITOR: —The remarkably good work, from the standpoint of science as well as philanthropy, which is being conducted by the St. Louis Barnard Free Skin and Cancer Hospitals, should be called to the attention of the medical profession through the columns of The Journal.

The pathologic and research work is in charge of a full-time director, aided by competent assistants.From the standpoint of philanthropy the hospital is unique.
