Abstract:Strained relationships within military departments, clashes between civilian and army administrations, inter-governmental power struggles, and the historically pervasive British influence, punctuate the history of Australian military medicine. While the achievements of the medical services in World War II are well documented, the ongoing administrative difficulties are less so. Candid reports by Director General of Medical Services, Rupert Downes, suggest that the challenges persisted throughout the war and directly impacted medical personnel, as well as the soldiers in their care. The necessarily hurried recruitment of 6 Division AIF was a handy hook on which to hang responsibility for deficiencies in medical recruitment, training, equipping, and care. Downes, however, was not prepared to ascribe such shortcomings to the ‘stress of time’ alone.

Abstract:Dispensaries in colonial South Asia have received scant attention in the historiography on colonial medicine in India. Those who have touched upon them have remarked on the pluralism and hybridity of the medicine practised in them. Yet these studies remain trapped within binarisms such as coloniser/colonised, science/tradition or Occident/Orient and fail to ask further questions about the structure of this medical pluralism. Why did colonial officials collaborate with some strains of indigenous healing while they rejected others outright? Asking this question also forces us to disaggregate categories such as 'indigenous medicine,' 'colonial medical establishment,' 'indigenous practitioners of western medicine' etc. I try to investigate here how categories such as locality, ethnicity and class structured the pluralism of the colonial dispensary practice.

Reading Emsley's book sent me back a number of times to my twenty-fourth edition ( 1 958) of Martindale's Extra Pharmacopoeia and reminded me of how its toxicity accounts had fascinated me as a pharmacy student. It also reminded of the vanished terminology, mercurous and mercuric rather than the current mercury II. To say nothing of Hydrarg, Perchlor, Vin Antimon, Liq. Plumbi Subacetas Forte, Liq Arsenicalis and Thall-Rat. Nice nostalgia.
