JAMES ALEXANDER MILLER, M.D. 391 



in tuberculosis at the Presbyterian Hospital, New York. He is 

 consulting physician to the Sea View Hospital, Staten Island, 

 Sprain Ridge Sanatorium, Yonkers, and the Trudeau Sanatorium, 

 Saranac Lake. He is also secretary of the Board of Trustees of 

 the Trudeau Sanatorium. 



But Dr. Miller is not contented with clinical work in tubercu- 

 losis. From the very beginning of his career as a tuberculosis 

 worker he has realized the importance of the social aspect of this 

 disease and was instrumental in reorganizing the former Tubercu- 

 losis Committee of the New York City Charity Organization 

 Society into the flourishing New York City Tuberculosis Asso- 

 ciation, of which he is now the president. To Dr. Miller we are 

 also indebted for the formation of the Association of Tuberculosis 

 Clinics, which is doing such admirable work under his presidency. 

 As secretary of the Public Health Committee of the Academy of 

 Medicine, member of the Advisory Council of the Phipps Insti- 

 tute, Philadelphia, of the Central Council of the Charity Organiz- 

 ation Society, of the Board of Directors of the Association for 

 Improving the Condition of the Poor, of the Board of Directors 

 of the State Charities Aid Association, and as chairman of the 

 Health Service Committee of the New York County Chapter, 

 American Red Cross, he has been instrumental in furthering the 

 anti-tuberculosis cause perhaps more than any other individual 

 tuberculosis worker. Not the least among the many important 

 positions he occupies at the head of the various an ti- tuberculosis 

 movements, is that of editor-in-chief of the Journal of the Out- 

 door Life. During the world war Dr. Miller did admirable 

 service in France from 1917 to 1918, as associate director of the 

 Rockefeller Commission for the Prevention of Tuberculosis in 

 France and as Major in the American Red Cross in France. The 

 French Government honored Dr. Miller by the bestowal of the 

 decoration of Chevalier de Legion d'honneur. 



Dr. Miller is a fellow of the Association of American Physicians, 

 of the New York County and State Medical Societies and of the 

 American Medical Association. He served from 1915 to 1916 

 as president of the American Climatological and Clinical Society. 



At its meeting in June, 1921, the National Tuberculosis Asso- 

 ciation honored itself by electing Dr. Miller president in recogni-
