Expansion and endowment of facilities for scientific study of stomach disorders at Michael Reese hospital, financed for fifteen years by the late Julius Rosenwald, was announced by officials of the hospital. Louis L. Cohen was named as donor of the gift to continue the work, for which no provision was made in the Rosenwald will.
Although the exact amount of the gift was withheld, the sum was stated to be one of the largest made for research in Chicago in many months. It will enable an increased staff of 25 to carry on indefinitely the experiments for which the late philanthropist contributed $10,000 annually. Dr. Heinrich Necheles, formerly of the University of Hamburg, has joined the group as full time physiologist. Prof. H. A. Carlson of the University of Chicago, and Dr. Alfred A. Strauss are other specialists included.
By combining the knowledge and efforts of physiologists, X-ray men, research workers and practicing medical men on the 1,000 cases handled yearly, vast progress has been made in the department, which is unique in this country.
