| Description Of Item | Clipped folio from the British Medical Journal in a scrapbook from the collection of John Ritchie relating to Anson Robertson Jordan’s critique of Dr Leonard Williams’ article ‘Why have a cold?’, who claimed that warm clothing should be avoided on the basis that the skin’s respiratory capacity is diminished, thereby placing more stress on the lungs. Jordan refutes the soundness of Williams’ hypothesis. Continued correspondences to this record are found in DEP/RIJ/8/33, 84-85. |
