    for his courtesy in permitting me to intro- duce carbonic-acid-gas baths in his institu- tion, and to the members of the staff of Man- hattan State Hospital, among these especially my friend Dr. R. C. Kemp. They all aided me generously in my investigations. I wish to express my thanks also to my colleagues of the New York Post-Graduate Medical School: Drs. Thomas E. Satterthwaite, Duncan Mac- pherson, and Frank Newton Irwin, who took an active interest in my modest labors. Friends have asked me how I came to devote myself to the study of carbonic acid. This question always brought to my mind an anam- nesis : the memory of my dear old friend Mr. Thomas Warker who early excited my inter- est in it. During the last decades of his life he had been industrious and indefatigable in inventing contrivances for the application of carbonic acid. His personal relations to De- marquay had inspired him with enthusiastic faith in the future of carbonic acid in medicine. A. Rose. New York, August 20, 1905. [V]
