HOME AND FOREIGN.
MODERN MEDICAL SCIENCE. LORD KITCHENER'S EULOGY. Received October 4, 5.50 p.m. London, Yesterday. Lord Kitchener, in addressing the medical school at the Middlesex Hospital, paid a tribute to the medical corps in India. Enteric was yielding to the improved sanitation and inoculation which were almost universal. Enteric would shortly join cholera in its total banishment from Barracks. During the last decade the rates of constantly sick and invalided and deaths had been reduced 50 per centum. Malaria still baffles all efforts, and methods which were successful at Khartoum were impossible in India, where native sanitation and water supply was outside British control. There were three hundred millions of Indians, mostly living in unsanitary and over-crowded cities. The difficulty of dealing with them lay in evolving methods not conflicting with the traditions of the ages.
