Learning from the wounded the civil war and the rise of american medical science, published by u. N. C. Press. Dr. Devine has produced a book that challenges many of not most of our assumptions about the state of medicine in the civil war.

Despite considerable limitations in training, these doctors rose to the challenges before them and made the most of this unprecedented opportunity to study and report not only on new methods of treat ment but also new findings on the nature of disease, healing, indeed on Human Anatomy itself. In the process the war allowed physicians to elevate their skills, knowledge and methods to the level of europeans. Devines study is breathtaking in spoke scope be according to one of the committee members. As ambitious, compelling as an original asand anything in the informed by the third. Authors ow

I appreciate that youre doing that, but the statute, it seems to me, is pretty clear here. That its mandatory these plans be submitted each year and that each year you determine whether or not the plans are credible. And i guess the question im asking is, have they ever gotten to a plan that you can say with a straight face is credible . Well, ive understood this to be a process. These are extremely complex documents for these firms to produce. Our second round of submissions were looking at plans that run into tens of thousands of pages. And i i think what was intended is that this determination youre talking about, about whether or not theyre credible, do they the question is, do they facilitate an orderly resolution . And i think we ne

We are the nations oldest and largest prolife organization. We find the formal title or marketing label Womens Health protection act to be highly misleading. The bill is really about just one thing, stripping away from elected lawmakers the ability to provide even the most minimal protection for unborn children at any stage of their development. The proposal is so sweeping and extreme that it would be difficult to capture its full scope in any short title, calling it the abortion without limits until birth act would be more in line with truth in advertising standards.

Since the publication of the alcohol at republic in 1979, scholars have explored the extent to which 19th century americans wrestled with addictiv
