Abstract
THE third general meeting of the Chinese Medical Association, the official medical association of China, will be held on November 1-8. This association is the successor to the China Medical Missionary Association organised in 1886. The 1935 meeting will be held at the Canton Hospital, Canton, China, because it was here that Dr. Peter Parker introduced Western medicine into China one hundred years ago. He was also the world's first regularly appointed medical missionary. A centennial “History of the Hospital” is now in the press (Kelly and Walsh, Shanghai). Besides the regular scientific sessions of the conference, November 2 will be devoted to the centenary celebrations. The new Canton Hospital will be formally opened, and the foundation stone will be laid for the new medical school building. The money for the latter has been obtained by a special grant from the Central Executive of the National Government of China.
