Problems of social medicine

Abstract

I WAS asked to discuss the problems of Blood Grouping with reference to paternity, but I suggested a change of subject in order to avoid the impression that Forensic Medicine was the only common ground for the legal and the medical professions. There is much in common also in the problems of Social Medicine. The University has been, and is bound to remain. The intellectual leader of the country; with the restitution of Self Government its importance will increase ; many of our law givers will come out of it. It is therefore proper that students of law, as possible legislators of the future, should be acquainted with the problems of health with reference to social life.
