Science Replacing Fatalism.
A scene in an American Red Cross clinic at Scutari, Albania.
Dr. Sara Foulks, of Burlington, N.J., examining a tubercular Mohammedan woman,
who had been given up be her relatives as "fated" to premature death.
Through its medical centers established in all parts of the country,
the Red Cross is seeking to overcome this attitude towards sick
by scientific appliance of modern methods of surgery and medicine.
The fatalism is due solely to the lack of doctors,
nurses and any idea of sanitation or modern medicine

By Permission of Allah.
Dr. Marie J. Hyndman, of Philadelphia, at work on an Albanian's teeth
in the American Red Cross hospital at Tirana.
American doctors attempting to stem the rising tide of disease in Albania found
that most all the people had never had any dental attention
and that much ill health originated from the condition of their molars.
But before the Mohammedan population of the country would consent to have their teeth tinkered with, Dr. Hyndman had to have the local priest issue a statement that dental work
would give no offense to Allah
