Notes
Content: Original negative #: 28120-C; Caption on back: "William R. Carter, government pharmacist for 40 years, has an important war job on the home front. As laboratory aide in the Food and Drug Administration of the Federal Security Agency, he is entrusted with the job of preparing media for testing the sterility of bandage material. This work is vital to wounded soldiers because they are not only dependent for their recovery upon the skill of physicians, nurses and hospital attendants, but also upon the reliability of drugs and bandages."
