Show Seeking Information on v Effects of War Gassing Views of physicians with actual front-line experience on the question of the after-effects of wartime gassing on the respiratory tracts and internal organs of the men affected are being sought by the national rehabilitation committee of the American Legion. Director Frank T. Hines of the United States veterans' bureau has promised to send out a questionnaire to all of the bureau's medical experts who served overseas. The chemical warfare service of the War department depart-ment is also assisting the Legion in the work. Very little is known on the subject, according to the committee. What little has Ijeen written about it has been the work of men wdio taught medicine in the colleges during the war, rather than of men who had ac-tuul ac-tuul experience with such cases. |
