"My dear Mr. Hady: The little book that I referred to is one of the 'Modern Library' published by Boni and Liveright in New York City. It is called 'Contemporary Science' and is edited by Benjamin Harrow, Ph.D. There are quite a number of important papers in it by Millikan, Yandell Henderson, Flexner and others, including my two lectures 'Before and After Lister', which I gave early in the Great War at the request of my former pupil, Surgeon General Ireland of the Army, before the Army Medical Officers' Training School who were receiving the military training that they did not have in College. I take pleasure in sending you a copy of one of my books containing this same lecture [pp. 157-202 in the book offered here] which I have taken the liberty of ante-dating to my 90th birthday. Sincerely yours, W. W. Keen (signed). The Rev. John Lowry Hady, Cor. State and Pine Sts., Doylestown, Pa." There isn't any date on the title page. The copyright date in 1923.
