E. Robertson, President of the Academy of Medicine, Toronto, who added, "It may seem strange to us but it is recorded that physicilans were highly educated, often University gradâ€" uates, and were paid very much in adâ€" vance of regimental surgeons. During a war a surgeon might even be raised to the rank of a physician, The surgeons, however, had some famous men. John Hunter was once Surgeon General and served in Portugal in 1760â€"1763. During all this time the medical officer was dissatisfied with his position in the army He did not have the standing of an ordinary combatant officer." "In 1900, or thereabouts, the Queen Medical inspection of recruits came in 1745. In 1757 medical officers wore the uniform of the corps to which they belonged. In 1760 a surgeon‘s pay was 73 pounds, while a captain‘s was 182 pounds. Surgeons bought their comâ€" missions and paid as much as 500 pounds. In 1680 there were only four regiâ€" ments in the British army. To these, surgeons were attached. Their names appeared in the army list and their pay was 4s a day with a horse to carry their chests. It became possible, some time later, for the medical officer to hold a combatant commission also, purâ€" chasing one as an ensign which perâ€" mitted him to receive half a crown a day for extra hospital service. He had no combatant duty and ranked as a staff officer. In 1685 there apparently was an Army Medical Service, as there 16. mentwn of a Surgson. General. There wat a Company of Surgeons of London who examined the surgeons for the Army and Navy. The services renâ€" dered at this time were chiefly regimenâ€" tal, but there were general hospitals in the rear. In fact, in 1748 Middleton, surgeon to the forces, introduced hospiâ€" tals with separate beds, clean linen and trained nurses. (From the Health League of Canada) The development of the medical care of the military forces of Great Britain is of timely general interest because today the Army Medical Service Corps occupies so much more an important place than it did years ago.

Some of these are highly trained and skilful practitioners. It would seem that this type have their futures as practitioners to which to look forward, and unless they wish to go into administrative positions they should be employed in a wholly medical capacity. Rank in this instance at once becomes, or may become, an obstruction to the proper organization of an effective unit." "The medical and surgical problems that beset an army are those of public health and surgery. A well trained physician in civil life is most valuable in military life, while a qualified active, experienced, civil surgeon is one who is best qualified to apply to mi®tary needs the surgical practices of the past and the innovations of the present. The officers of the permanent medical force are trained ind skiled in military esâ€" tablishments and in the routine conâ€" duct of an army medical organization. a steady fight for the recognition of the army doctor as a man who deserved to rank as an officer. There had been apparently a dearth of men skilled in their profession in the army. It must be understocd that most of the above disâ€" cussion is in relation to regular army service and is therefore a situation that does ont apply to Canada. In Canada we have several companies of regular troops and a skeleton permanent mediâ€" cal corps, the medical hospital work of these troops being done by the Departâ€" ment of Pensions and National Health. We hnave also volunteer militia medical uints. One may state with truth that our problem as to medical military serâ€" vice is quite different from that of a country with a large permanent army. approved the Royal Army Medical Corps, and the titles of its officers as known now.

The club‘s aims are to foster clean sport and teach the proper use of fireâ€" arms and so aid in the prevention of accidents from shooting in a district where riflies are numerous. It is a known fact that many boys and men, when carrying a rifle in the field, often fire at any target which presents itself, with little thought of what might be beyond their yvision but in range of daanger. Something new in the way of sports has been started with the organization of the Porcupine Rifle Club. The junior branch spent Saturday on the range and many fine scores were made.
