Constellation Similarity Assertions

Dr. Julius Jarcho was a New York obstetrician and gynecologist. His efforts were fundamental in the establishment of Israel's National Medical Library when, in 1919, he learned that physicians in what was then Palestine were without medical literature. He devoted his personal and financial resources to collecting medical literature in the United States for a network of medical libraries, originally focused on the Jerusalem library as the central one, with branch libraries scattered throughout Palestine. Julius Jarcho was the father of Dr. Saul Jarcho (1906-2000), a physician with Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, who also served Editor-in-Chief of the New York Academy of Medicine Bulletin.
