Abstract
THE phrase ‘medical research’ covers an immensely wide field of scientific activity in which workers of many different kinds are occupied. It is concerned directly and indirectly with the welfare of the bodies and minds of human beings, and if properly treated it must be a subject of the first interest to any human audience. The word ‘medical’ in this relation is likely to mislead. Strictly it refers only to the healing of disease, and it calls to our minds at once a vision of doctors at the bedside and of their drugs or implements. Yet as we use it here it has a scope, not only in the work of original investigation but also in preparing its results for practical application, which is indefinitely wider than that of the healing profession as such.
