l. The last half decade has seen many changes in the oe
practice of medicines. Problema have confronted the medical
profession which were attacked in systematized and organized
method so that newer conceptions have replaced the time worn
_ theori es.
2e The Great War has called for sacrifices from no sin-
gle class of men more than from the physician and surgeone In
America alone more than 32,000 were in uniform and many thou-
sands were collaborating in the medical laboratories and clinics
to safeguard the health of the Army.
~ 3. While the war, as all wars are, was a terrible evil,
certain benefits have accured from it. We now know more about
the various forms of ourd ana: of functional cardiac disturb-
ances, of trench nephritis, ef trench fever, and many other dis-
eases. The advances made in our knowledge of infectious fence
teernai diseases, the scourge that followed the scheme of mili-~
tariem, such as thphus type, cholera and influenza are notable.
The dreadful pandemic which is still raging has slain many more
than shells and eannons have.
4. The study of the functi oni ng capacity of organs haa
made rapid strides in the past several years. In this branch of
medicine America has especially excelled. By means of the cardio-
graph one is now able to distinguish functional fran organic
heart disorders. By means of numerous Ceuta. it is now possi-
ble to determine how much work @ diseased organ can still per~
form so that the art of prognosis has been much advanced.
5. Famine follows war and diseases due to improper nutri-
tion become especially prevalent after years of military occupa-
tion. The diseases due to vitamine, such as scurvy, pellagra,
rickets, etc., have been extensively investigated, the cause de-
termined, and the remedy suggested.
6. The advances made in military hygiene are remarkable.
Perhaps the healthiest localities were the Army Camps. The toll
that armies used to pay in typhoid fever, dysentery and allied
diseases has been almost entirely erased.
7. In surgery also, the remarkable results obtained with
the antiseptics devised by Dakin and aett oe by Carrell have much
reduced the mortality following combined fractures, gunshot wounds,
etc. These antiseptics are now applied with gratifying results
in the treatment of empyema and pus fomations in general.
