Excerpt from Altitude and Health
The author of this small book was requested, in the spring of 1914, by the Trustees of the Chadwick Trust, to give three public lectures on the subject Altitude and Health. Those lectures were delivered in the Lecture Hall of the Royal Society of'medicine, 1, Wimpole Street, London, W., on the 6th, 13th and 20th of May, 1914. Sir William J. Collins, m.s., b.sc., etc., Chairman of the Chadwick Trustees, presided over the first lecture. Sir Bertrand Dawson, M.D., etc., introduced the lecturer on the second occasion, and Sir James Crichton - Browne, M.D., Chadwick Trustee, on the third. The lecturer begs once more, and most heartily, those distinguished gentlemen to accept his thanks for so kindly lending him countenance in his appearance as first international lecturer for the Trust. He is painqy conscious that his modest effort hardly deserved such high patronage.
