This has been a mixed blessing for, although noneffectiveness and fatality due to infections and contagious diseases have been reduced markedly, this has been countered by an increase in trauma with the automobile as the principal agent.With the numbers of cars sold ever mounting (over 7 million in 1955), their speeds and horsepower steadily climbing, their drivers so often youths or inebriates of erroneous judgment, or the elderly with...Bibliography1.
