Summary of Report on Diseases of the Ear, Nose, and Throat in Egypt from 1915. Part I

among the achievements of Prof. Gosio are the control of the plague, great success in management of meningoeoccic infection, and his unrivalled success in tetanic infections. In contrast to the French Army the Italians have fewer acute ear infections. It appears the otorrhceas make up about the same percentage of the total sick in the two armies. CONCLUSION.—The comparative importance and excellence of the Italian medical service challenges admiration, and I recommend that everyone interested in the service and administration of military medicine visit Italy to study the Italian organisation and efficiency. I cannot express in too strong language my appreciation of the patriotism, scientific spirit, cordiality, and hospitality with which the Medical Department received me everywhere. Kindly interest and courtesy were never lacking on the part of the Italians during my tour.
