THE FRONTIERS OF MEDICINE 



resistant to disease, and even better thinkers than man of 

 to-day. Through the application of biochemistry, physics, 

 physiological chemistry, and all of the many sciences on 

 which modern medical science is based, diseases will be 

 brought under control, and perhaps many conditions 

 anticipated before they have reached serious proportions. 

 The frontiers of medicine, however, since it is a science of 

 living human beings, will never be wholly conquered, for 

 they are constantly extended. Diseases and the living organ- 

 isms associated with the cause and the transmission of 

 disease constantly change. Medicine as a living vital 

 science must move forward, must advance, if it is to keep 

 abreast of the enemy.
