The advance of medicine against the enemy, disease, sweeps forward on every front. Techniques of anesthesia have improved to make possible surgical procedures denied to the practitioner of the twenties. Highly refined and specialized mechanical aids, including the x-ray, fluoroscope, and electrocardiograph, have sharpened diagnostic skills. Testing of the blood and urine reveals more significant facts to the physician than ever before. In support of the physician, the pharmaceutical chemist continues to forge new chemical and biological weapons to fight disease. Insulin for the management of diabetes mellitus, liver extract for pernicious anemia, sulfa drugs, and penicillin are examples. Your physician and your pharmacist are alert to apply the improved procedures as they become available.
