And yet in the two propositions there is muetrmore "of 'parallel than the ordinary person realizes. We are assured upon high authority that among the more than a hundred million population pi States, no less than a million and a half persons ore constantly sick with preventable diseases, and that from the same cause two thousand lives are lost 'every day! - 'After liberally discounting these terrible estimates, the hideous, fact must remain that as a nation our present methods of health conservation are woefully haphazard and inadequate, There has never been a time when study and Instruction and protection in these lines could be more profitably undertaken or promise better results than now. The ia epidemic of last winter and spring claimed half a million victims of what is supposed to be the. most virile age; and among the five millions who had the malady and survived, many were left with weakened power of resistance to diseases of all kinds. The dreadful experience wijlhjhis plague must have demonstrated certain facts which should be fully brought out and utilized by way pf precaution In case of a recurrence, which medical men everywhere declare to he probable. Another most fruitful source of knowledge hi health and physical education should be the reports of army and navy examining boards, who looked over many millions of thp flower of our manhood," and found it unfortunately necessary to reject hundreds of thousands before they found the five million, more or less, who were deemed fit to enter the nation's armed service. The valuable knowledge gained by the medical men in these examinations should be analyzed and disseminated in the interest of the welfare of the race; as shdud also be the knowledge acquired from the experience of keeping these millions Lmen fit -- and healthy in their camps or wherever they were. These studies, reports, publications, etc, will cost money, of course; but the benefits to be gained make'any cost' seem trifling.
