Under this title a distinguished Latin American member of the Academy, Dr. Alfredo Ceballos Carrión, Professor of Pediatrics in the University of Guayaquil, Ecuador, has written an interesting article,1 reviewing for his colleagues the many ways in which activities of a physician may provoke or enhance disease in a child, during the course of zealous efforts to cure and heal. Among other factors to which Dr. Ceballos refers is that of unwise, ill chosen, or unnecessary medication. Certainly the vastly increased armamentarium of effective drugs at the disposition of modern physicians has opened enormous possibilities for them to benefit patients.
