“<str<strong>on</strong>g>Counsels</str<strong>on</strong>g>.”<br />

In this sordid day, when everything that was<br />

volume may c<strong>on</strong>tribute to the purest and most<br />

unselfish professi<strong>on</strong> of medicine, it is now launched<br />

up<strong>on</strong> its missi<strong>on</strong>.<br />
