though apparently a laboratory man, as the many invaluable 

 contributions in the accompanying bibliography would indicate, 

 as a patient in the sanatorium and as assistant physician under 

 Dr. Irving H. Hance, and also as examining physician in the 

 sanatorium, he had acquired the knowledge of an expert clinician, 

 and his fame as such rose rapidly. He is now vice-president 

 of the Trudeau Sanatorium, and director of the Edward L. 

 Trudeau Foundation and Trudeau School of Tuberculosis. The 

 Saranac Lake Reception Hospital, which was established through 

 the efforts of Dr. Trudeau, has been under the management and 

 the direction of Dr. Baldwin from its beginning. The Vermont 

 State Sanatorium, which was built by the Proctor family, as 

 well as the Gaylord Farm Sanatorium at Wallingford, Conn., 

 are both indebted to Dr. Baldwin for his great interest in helping 

 to call these institutions into life. The General Hospital in 

 Saranac Lake was also promoted largely through Dr. Baldwin's 

 efforts. 



Dr. Baldwin has an enviable war record. On May 5, 1917, he 

 was appointed a member of the subcommittee on tuberculosis 

 of the General Medical Board of the Council of National Defense. 

 He was Chairman of the Medical Advisory Board No. 32 of his 

 district during the selective service examination, and served as a 

 Four-Minute Man in the speech-making campaigns for all the 

 different purposes for which this form of publicity was used. 

 During the month of January, 1918, he served as contract surgeon 

 on the tuberculosis examining board, as referee at Camp Devens, 

 and as a member of the executive committee of the National 

 Tuberculosis Association he was most active in the work of that 

 organization. In 1919 he was invited to join the Inter-Allied 

 Red Cross Medical Conference at Cannes. 



The two presidential addresses of Dr. Baldwin are to be found 

 on page 19 of the Association's Transactions of 1916, and on page 

 23 of the Transactions for 1917.
