Important medical discoveries
would avail little could not the
knowledge be disseminated and ap-
piled. Through bulletins published
by the service, state and local health
authorities, the scientific public and
persons interested in public health
are kept advised weekly of its find
ings. The public is advised of what
to do in case of accidents, the impor-
tance of good teeth and how to avoid
diseases.
Medical advice is sent from marine
hospitals to ships hundreds of miles
at sea By interchange of radio mes
sages, diagnoses are made and ad-
vice given and received on ailments
ranging from hiccoughS to heart dis
ease. Frequently, the radio is used
to notify the nearest marine hospital
to prepare for an operation, or the
treatment Of emergency cases.
The history of the public health
service dates back more than a CEN
tury. Established in 1898 as the ma
rine hospital service, few branches of
the government have been called
upon to extend their field of action in
so many directions. Its principal
function at the time of its establish
ment was to provide medical and
surgical relief for merchant seamen.
The first marine hospital was erected
in Norfolk, Va, in 1900. Today,
twentyESe marine hospitals, with an
aggregafe of 3,473 beds, are main
