Doctoring by Radio
The art of prescribing for ailments
by radio has been reduced to a fine
system through the experience gained
! by last years operation of the station
K D K F. Only a quarter of the
ships carry doctors, but standard
lied medicine chest has been devised
and will be supplied by the U. S. Pub
lie Health Service. The Radio Coz

scription service formerly handled BY
X D K F alone. Prescriptions can be
filled from the medicine chest with n
chance of mistake because every one
is exactly alike in its supplies, anC
in their labelling and position.
The new service has been developed
by Captain Robert Huntington, WhC
was formerly whaling captain.
