paredness. After furious battles the poor in- 

 jured prisoner of war needs often this mode 

 of treatment as much as the surgical one. 



The Medical Brotherhood of this country 

 wishes to gather into its union those members 

 of the medical profession who have a vein of 

 idealism in them and who are willing to serve 

 their country as patriots and humanitarians. 

 It appeals further to the inspired ones to 

 spread this gospel, wherever they find oppor- 

 tunity, with impressiveness combined with 

 patience and tolerance. 



S. J. Meltzer, 

 President of the Medical Brotherhood 



GRANTS FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH 



During the past year, the sub-committee on 

 research funds of the Committee of One Hun- 

 dred of the American Association for the Ad- 

 vancement of Science has endeavored to secure 

 information regarding research funds and 

 particularly such as are available without sub- 

 stantial limitations as to the residence or in- 

 stitutional relations of the grantee. 



The following list of endowments of the 

 latter class, while doubtless incomplete, is be- 

 lieved to comprehend the more important with 

 the exception of those devoted to medical re- 

 search. From most of them grants of mod- 

 erate sums for research may be made to suita- 

 ble applicants. The list is arranged alpha- 

 betically according to location. 



Unless otherwise stated the figures given 

 refer to the principal of the endowment. The 

 amoimts are to be considered as approximate 

 only. 



For information regarding the conditions 

 upon which grants may be made from any 

 particular fund, application should be ad- 

 dressed to the officer indicated in the list.
