Abstract: LECTURE I At a time when fever hospitals are being closed and accident hospitals planned or opened, the fact that several recent lectures in this series have been devoted to various aspects of accidental trauma would not have disconcerted Dr. Gavin Milroy.His " suggestions " to lecturers of 80 years ago reveal an urgent preoccupation with what was topical in State medicine, and he could not but be impressed to-day that two short decades have witnessed the virtual displacement of the contagious fevers by trauma as a major epidemic scourge of our civilization.Each year more than a million people in Great Britain are injured at work or on the roads.
