WE ARE GOING TO WIN 



*'The principles of the world are in danger and the principles of the world 

 will not be secure until this war is won by America and her allies." These words 

 were used by Mr. Prendergast in his address to the graduates on commencement 

 night. The war will be won and barbarism and autocracy will be laid in the dust 

 forever. 



Just so as this war must be won sO the fight for recognition of pharmacy as 

 a profession in the army must be fought to a successful finish. The medical of- 

 ficers of the army must and will be convinced. It is a duty every pharmacist 

 owes his country to fight for recognition of his profession. 



We quote from a recent letter from the National Association Boards of 

 Pharmacy. "It is well known in civilian life that the free exchange of ideas be- 

 tween physicans and pharmacists — a mutual cooperation and understanding — is 

 absolutely essential for the welfare of the sick. They are — in civil life, in a posi- 

 tion to discuss freely, incompatibilities, modes of administration, etc. This very 

 important feature conducive to efficiency, does not exist in the United States 

 Army. The pharmacist, being a non-commissioned officer, is prohibited this 

 freedom of frank exchange of knowledge with a physician, who is a commis- 

 sioned officer. This being one of the inflexible rules of military discipline." Keep 

 up the good work. We must win. We will win. The health of "Our Boys" in 

 the army must be preserved, We must be the preservers.
