I'm its development throughout
the world, medicine has passed
through innumerable transiOns
from country to country, from sub
ject to subject, from leader to
leader" says Morris Fishbein, NJ.
D.. editor of the journal of the
American Medical Association.
THE reasons for such continuous
transition have been perhaps
largely economic but no doubt al
so spiritual
Graded in Greece, the youth of
medicine was no doubt spent in
Rome. its adolescence in the Ori-
entail nations. perhaps the first
few years of its maturity in Ger
many and Austria. Today its fin
est offspring seem to be coming
from America"
DR.. Fishbein then points out that
the decline in medical progress in
Europe and even in England. puts !
the major burden of future medical |
progress squarely up to the Am
erican nations. He traces the medi- |
cal advancement that is taking |
place throughout the Americas in |
countless privately-endOwed insti-
tutiOnS and hospitals in coOpera-
tion with various public health
agencies. The facts he presents
are an inspiring story of the un-
selfish devotion of the medical fra
ternity to the prevention and cure
of disease
Today more than ever before. the
aim is to create good health by the
elimination of the causes of dis
ease. With the world ahame and
infectious disease closely allied
with wars, constant vigilance must
be maintained to protect human
health and life. We in this coun-
try can be thankful that American
medicine has earned a place of
leadership by its accomplishments
in safeguarding health and curing
disease.

A global war has given all of us

But a year later, we have awaE-
