A Lay Society

The Society of Friends of Medical Progress was organized last week by a number of prominent laymen to support scientific medicine and experimentation, and to resist propaganda or legislation dangerous to public health. Dr. Charles W. Eliot is Honorary President; Thomas Barbour, naturalist, is acting President; Ernest Harold Baynes, defender of vivisection and of humanity to animals, is Field Secretary. The Society is commended by the American Medical Association.
