MEDICAL EXPERTS
It's even an 111-war that blows nobody good. The "blood banks" system of storing blood from donors came out of the civil war in Spain and the fighting in Russia, terrible though it be, is giving the world a great number of medical discoveries. Surgery will benefit largely from these, as it does from most wars, but the Russian scientists also are well to the fore. Davidov has evolved a method of preserving blood which already has saved many lives. Soviet chemist Fukousky and Professor Shestakovsky have produced oils which have revolutionised the treatment of wounds, while Professor Smorodintsev's method of diagnosing typhus in its very early stages has made that fever far less" dangerous.
