Letters from Poland

In the past year, a number of medical meetings were held in Poland, among which we will first of all mention the First Congress of Slavic Doctors, which took place in Warsaw on 26-29 May. Doctors from Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria were present at this Congress. On behalf of the Russian doctors, the famous neuropathologist Flatau from Warsaw greeted the Congress and on the closing day of the Congress he read a telegram sent from the USSR, signed, among others, by Prof. Bekhterev. At the S'ezd the following reports were heard: 1) On scleroma in the Slavic lands; the speakers were Bielinoff (Serbia), Cisler, Bercer (Czechoslovakia), Zaleski, Nowicki and Erbrich (Poland); a Committee to combat scleroma was organized. 2) On the prevention of scarlet fever and anti-scarlatina vaccinations; speakers Dobowski (Bulgaria), Michalowicz and Szenajch (Poland). 3) On expedient methods of sanitary administration in Slavic lands; speakers Kiesiakoff (Bulgaria), Wroczynski (Poland). The next meeting will be held in Prague in 1928.
