Bruce, MD, author of the editorial, suspects that the average time originally was written as five, misinterpreted and typed as three, and unhappily published—despite all the checking that attempts to avoid such errors. (Dr. Cohen, incidentally, noting the mails being what they are, regrets that runners cannot be recruited to make deliveries, which he is sure would speed receipt of THE JOURNAL.)
