At the same time, 'he was carrying on post-graduate work in pathology at the University of Pennsylvania. Shortly afterward, it was discovered that he should give up his work for a period of rest. During his absence from Philadelphia he did clinical and pathologic inves- tigations on the vascular changes about tuberculous cavities, pulmonary circulation in the col- lapsed lung and pneumonoconiosis, effect of pneumothorax upon the pulmonary parenchyma of the normal rabbits, prognosis in lobar pneumonia when associated with anthracosilicosis, thrombosis of the pulmonary artery, bronchial carcinoma in anthracosilicosis, cor pulmonale in anthracosilicosis, pulmonary, laryngeal and intestinal tuberculosis in silicosis, tuberculosis of the myocardium, and allied subjects.

In this task he has endeavored to impress upon the students that in the field of medicine, one has unlimited opportunity to delve into the inner secrets of human beings and to show to his fellow men sym- pathy and good will.
