WANT DOCTORS FOR WAR.
Medical Journal Tells of Qualities of
Efficient Military Surgeon.

eff War Comes is the heading
under which the current New York
Medical Journal says cditoriallv:
"Modern warfare demands the com
plete mobilization of ever resource of
the countries involved Defeat is the
price paid for unPrcparedness, and the
conquered pays the bills for both sides
Therefore il pays to be prepared, Every
war in which the United States has TAX
en- part has acquainted the necessity
for and the deplorablc lack Of preEmin-
ary preparation.
Surgeon General Lowell in his re
port for the year 1917, SAYS Of the War
Of 1872: There could be little doubt
that whore one man had died from inn
proper medical treatment. ten had been
destroyed from want Of q knowledge
of the many duties peculiar to an army
surgeon. The same comment could
have been at the close Of the Civil war
and Of the war with Spain
In 10 direction is preparedness
more important than in the medical
I departments OF the army and the navy.
The public and large part Of the med
ical profession enormously assume that
because man is qualified medical prac-
titioncr or surgeon he will therefore
make an efficient medical officer. This
is not true. The military surgeon j.
much more than an efficient surgeon or
a competent practitioner. He must also
understand sanitary tactics; he mas,
be familiar with the organization Of
the medical department, and know how
10 handle men and material. Without
this knowledge he cannot perform tn
full measure Of his duties.
There 1rc, every patriotic rhysi
clan should at once enroll in the feder
FL department of the reserve officers
corps, where he can learn the essential
1 Of military medicine by dcvoting few
hours week to home study withou
I interfering with his practice. Thel
when the need comes he can serve hi
