medical care shall be at the disposal of our wounded men. That in the ideal which is be- fore every doctor and nurse, whether man or woman, in the medical services of the fighting Forces or in our hos- pitals at home.

To live up to this ideal re quires much effort, not only on the part of those who, dny after day, are seeking new knowledge of disease and its treatment in our Inboratories und hospitais, but also on the part of the doctors whose job it is to put into practice the latest discoveries of the science of healing.

Modern methods of preventing disease and new ways of treating wounds have to be applied under conditions which, in our elv life, we would regard as almost impos- sible. Yet, through the dauntless and infinite resource of courage our doctors, on land and sea, ap- piled they are, and with what wonderful success.

Epidemies have decimated armies in days gone by. We lost more men from typhoid fever in South Africa thun from wounds received in action. Yet in France ond Belgium in 1014-1918 typhoid fever was a rare disease. The proper steps had been taken to render our men immune from its ravages.

During the winter just past. widespread epidemic of cerebro- spinal meningitis swept, this coun- try and our army in France. A few years ago thousands would probably have died. Thanks to tho use of a new drug discovered in England in one of our well-known hospitals, the numbers who died were an infinitely small percentage of those who suffered from the dis- ense. Epidemies such as choleru have long disappeared, sinco

The experience of the last war showed clearly that, provided the wound or wounds were not mortal, and the percentage of such is low, surgeon had two great enemies shock and wound infection. Το combat these, surgeons, bacterio lugists and research workers fought hard, but they had not, in 1914- 1918, the knowledge or the sources which we have lo-dny.

During the last ten years, scientific work, in which this coun- try has played a conspleuous part, has provided weapons against these two great enemies which were denied to the surgeons who served during the Great War.

The very foundation of all there plans was the magnificent response of volunteer blood donors all over the country. There cannot be too many of them.

In Flanders, in the actions winch were fought try the B.E.F.. stores of good British ulood were avaliable at all the hospitals behind the lines ready to be used to old our wounded. Ít was only at last, when the landing of supplies became Impossible, that the stores ran low.

There are thousands of men and women in towns and villages in South-West England who, by giv- ing of their blood, brought hun- dreds, perhaps thousands of our wounded home alive. Blood trans- fusion had proved its value in the field and the first enemy-shock- had been checked.
