"But we physicians never got to the root, of tho disease,'' said Dr. Billings, bringing his addross to a close. "There is no use in taking any other point of ,vicw. The root of this" trouble lies in the existing freedom of marriage. ' "I do not believe there should be any such freedom of mnn-iage. l ain no lawyer, but I would like to sec society so-ciety put on its statute books a law forbidding two people to bo married. not merely until they had secured a certificate cer-tificate of health from a reputable physician, phy-sician, but until they had obtained a certificate of inheritance showing their antecedents. "This sounds drastic, but tho increase in-crease in the defective classes is so impressive im-pressive as to warrant such a conclusion. conclu-sion.
