One of the greatest accomplishments of civilization has been the remarkable progress made in increasing the aver* age' life expectancy, In the Middle Ages the average life span was twenty years. In the seventeenth century it had advanced to twenty-five years. Through the years there has been a steady increase until, today, the life expectancy ia sixty-three years for men and sixty-six for women. Authorities agree that the most productive years of life lie between the ages of forty and sixty. Medicine and the allied sciences have thus been indirectly responsible for all progress. Good minds that had sickened and died before reaching their zenith now live to apply the judgment and experience of maturity. As pharmacists, we are proud of our function in the distribution of lifesaving medical supplies.
