WE WONDER 



While we are writing this a hearing- on the Edmonds Bill is being held in 

 Washington before the Committee on Military Affiairs. Representatives of 

 pharmacy from far and wide are in attendance. Another step is being taken 

 in the endeavor to convince certain officials that the men in the ranks should and 

 must have the same pharmaceutical service they obtain as civilians. 



Somewhere we have read a letter from the Surgeon General's office which 

 stated that any attempt to reorganize the medical corps at this time would be 

 disastrous in its results ; and then we read that the Surgeon General recommends 

 that the medical reserve corps be reorganized. We wonder why in one case 

 reorganization is desirable and in the other undesirable. 



The men in the army are entitled to the services of real pharmacists — they 

 need it — they will get it — there may be some unnecessary delay but our duty is 

 plain. Every pharmacist must continue to help drive the facts home to those 

 army officials who have not as yet seen the light. 



The health of our men cannot be properly conserved without a real pharma- 

 ceutical corps. The need is plain and we must see to it that the corps is 

 established. 



DR. BROWN JOINS THE COLORS 



Just as we are going to press, Dr. Lewis N. Brown, instructor in the 

 Department of Pharmacy and Secretary of the Alumni Association is leaving 

 for Washington, D. C, to enter the service of our country. 



Dr. Brown will probably "do his bit" along chemical and bacteriological 

 lines in the Sanitary Corps and expects to leave for France in the very near 

 future.
