 Britton who joined the Torrey Botanical Club in 1879 and was

Dr. Chester W. Emmons of the College of Physicians and 

 Surgeons gave an instructive illustrated talk on "Plants that 

 Cause Human Diseases" which proved to be of particular in- 

 terest to a large number of medical people attending. Dr. Em- 

 mons stated that many of these fungus diseases attacking hu- 

 mans can subsist on dead organic matter outside of a body 

 also and probably most of them are only incidentally parasitic 

 on man.
