 the American Climatological Association and was its president 

 from 1914 to 1915. He is a member of the Colorado State Medi-

 numerous degrees, medical and purely scientific, which Dr. 

 Sewall is entitled to add to his name are evidence of the great 

 achievements in scientific medicine for which we are indebted to 

 him. The bibliography of Dr. Sewall, shows how much we owe 

 him for the many valuable contributions on the subject of tuber- 

 culosis. In Colorado he is justly considered as one of the State's 

 pioneers in tuberculosis work.
