BERLIN This is the Anglo-American Medical Asso-ciation of Berlin, a society organized in 1903by Dr. J. H. Honan, of Berlin, for the pur-pose of promoting the interests of Anglo-Americans seeking courses in medicine inBerlin. It is needless to say that Berlin is a big city;that its customs are not our customs; that itsclinics and laboratories are not all in oneplace; and that a man, coming to Berlin forthe first time, with no definite knowledge asto just what men or what courses he wants,can waste many valuable days, or weeks, ingetting settled down to his work. It is theidea of the Society to obviate this waste oftime as much as possible by giving the new-comer a clear idea of the various coursesgiven, both privately and by the university;the cost, value, duration, and time of com-mencement of the same; to tell him what toavoid (for there are courses to be avoided,even in Berlin), and to extend the hand ofgood fellowship to the lonesome.
