REMARKABLE PROGRESS OF
MEDICINE
UISEASE NO SYSTERY.
Whatever, else in the world may ge ill, all goes well with the work of the medical profession," says the Tatigraph, At this year's annual conference of the British Medical Association the discus sions ranged, as usual, over many and various subjects, but the general effect has been a reporting of good progress ju almost all directions, and of really not- ablo success in, certain caKES, *
...
The presidential address of Mr. Charles Childe, senior surgeon of the Royal. Portsmouth Haspital, opened with a deeply-interesting review of the révolu tionary change which has come about in medical science in the past half-century owing to those discoveries of which Pas tour was the pioneer. At a time well' within living memory all diseases was a mystery, The causes of it were un known, its treatinent was largely en- pirical, and Mr. Chilile went so far us to say that medicine had done much more to constitute itself a science in the Inst fifty years than in all the previous ages of its history.
The bacteriological origin of about. half the disorders that afflict mankind has been established, and research will undoubtedly add to the number of dis enses which eng he attacked by aiming dienctly at the living organisms which cause then it may be noted that while this conference was progreding a foreign investigator's claim to have discovered the germ of scarlet fever was reported in the Press. As a result of the methods of treatment thus unde possible, and of the attention given to combating the conditions found to be favourable to the existence and spread of infective organ- is, many of the most fatal diseases have been practically stamped out of: existence within our own stirues,
"Mr. Childe recalled that so late as 1578 there were in this country 1,400 deaths from typhus. Nowadaya a vase is very rarely met with. Typhoid fever, again, is well on the way to extinction, the reason in both "enses being the vast improvement in the sanitary conditions in which the mass of the population live. Though much still remains to be done, Buch conditions are immeasurably better than they were, and the fact may be commended to the attention of those who saneintethe Capitalist system with an indifference to the well-being of the poor, which exists only in their Own imaginations.

Yet there are directions in which medicine is able to record practically no progress, whatever. The five most formid- able scourges of our civilisation to-day are cancer, tuberculosis, vencmf disease. "rickets, and alcoholism; and of the first of these hardly anything is yet know, in spite of the incessant activity of re search-concentrated upon the problem" An important advance has been made in the surgical treatment of it as was shown in the discussions "in the surgical section, and Mr. H.

"But attention must be drawn to the president's reminder that the financial means of prosecuting this inquiry are the affair of the public which must see to it that this research is not crippled or stinted. The etiology of rickets, again. is still one of Nature's secrets; we only know that it never occurs Bave under what are called civilised conditions. But with a few such exceptions, the record of progress is astonishing; and one of the inost remarkable features of it came under disenssion at the Coriferesce when the subject of diabetes was brought be fore it.
"Dr. Banting, "the sourg Canadian in- vestigator who is today world-famous in the literal sense of the terra, was greeted with a demonstration of welcome such as is rurely beard in a learned assembly when he rose to give no account of the long and finally triumphant experimental research which resulted in the discovery of insulin.
