ALBERTA MEDICAL BULLETIN 8 Notice According to the late Act under which the Workmen's Compensation Board is operating, the following mandatory section is of interest to the members of the medical profession: "No account for medical services shall be recognized by the Board or be recov erable, unless the account is filed with the Board within three months from the discharge of the workman by the physician who gave the medical care in the case, or within three months of the date upon which the workman returned to work following the accident, whichevel' period is the shorter." As you have already been advised of this special clause by a letter from the Board of the consequence,,; that will follow your failure to present your account within the three months period, it will be regrettable if having rendered the service a physician lo ses the opportunity to get paid for his work.

This is the largest num ber so far reported. 226 medical men registered at the Convention which is also the largest number attending a convention in Calgary, and 126 of them attended the banquet.
