Abstract

To the Editor:— I have read with interest and with appreciation your editorial entitled "Therapy of Thrombosis and Embolism" appearing in the October 26 issue of The Journal. Your statement regarding the findings of my associates and myself is correct and we appreciate being quoted in this manner. It has always been our belief, and we have so stated in both our earlier paper and the one in surgery from which you quoted, that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Why it is that physicians will readily accept preventive measures in infectious and contagious diseases and yet blind themselves to the few simple and easily understood physiologic facts that underlie venous stasis as it occurs in the extremities is something I have never been able to understand. Perhaps it is because I am a pathologist and not a clinician. There was a time, before the advent
