 Dr. J. W. Goodsell, of New Kensington, Pa. 



Dr. Goodsell is a descendant of an old English 

 family that has had representatives in America for 

 two hundred and fifty years. His great grandfather 

 was a soldier in Washington's army when Cornwallis 

 surrendered, and his father, George H. Goodsell, spent 

 many adventurous years at sea and fought through

 born near Leechburg, Pa., in 1873. He received his

 Society. His publications include "Direct Microscopic 

 Examination as Applied to Preventive Medicine and 

 the Newer Therapy" and "Tuberculosis and Its 

 Diagnosis."

MacMillan is the son of a sea captain and was born 

 at Provincetown, Mass., in 1874. His father's ship
