DOCTORS KILLED
AUSTRALIA'S HEAVY LOSSES.
There is a remarkable diminution in sickness among Australians, the proportion being only one-fourth by comparison with last winter (states a cablo message from London dated February 25). Tho mildness of the weather is the greatest factor, coupled with improved organisation and the efficiency of the medical services. There has been no recurrence of last year's !, influenza, and there is an almost entire absence of mumps, measles, cerebrospinal disease, and trench feet. The "British Medical Journal," reviewing tho year, states that it appears that the proportion of doctors killed was highest in the Australian force.. Still more remarkable ■ is-the number of Australian medical men of field rank killed. Tho figures show the killed R.A.M/C., four, including two lost at sea. Territorials, four. Australians, eight. Canadians and South Africans, one each. The total of Australian doctors killed is 18, the wounded being 59.
