Medicine" according to the Health
Officer, belongs to Benjamin Frank
lin. Although not a doctor Of medl-
cine, he was good, all-round sclen'
fist, member of the Medical Society
of Paris, and the Medical Society Of
London. His claims rest on his work
in hygiene, in which field he recon-
mended fresh air, exercise and bath

an early advocate of smallpox lnoc,

medical devices-bifocal spectacleS'
