Therefore, as medical men, we are bound to consider not only the devastating effects of high explosives in mechanized warfare, but also the possible introduction of acute epidemical diseases, viruses, chemicals; and in short, any meas ures that might be adopted to destroy us and against which no peace-time treaty is an effective deterrent.
