Abstract

The early Egyptians devised medications that are similar to drugs that are used today. In Arabia medical science began to shed the superstitions that had crept into medical ideas in the medieval period. Dr. Purdum, director of pharmacy at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, is responsible for administration, research, and acquiring drugs for the hospital, and seeing that they are prepared and distributed properly to the patients. Good pharmacists must be dedicated to accuracy and keep up with the latest developments in medical science. Pharmacy requires a 4-year college program that will become a 5-year program by 1960.
