Medicine More and More Concerned With Disease Prevention Than Cure By DR. JACON DINER, New York rnysician Medicine is becoming more and more concerned with the prevention of diseaso rather than the cure. The day will come when it will be q disgrace for a man to be sick, because that will bo a public acknowledgment acknowledg-ment that he has not lived according to common sense. We advocato tho intelligent application of health rules because they make for efficiency. A man should treat himself at least no worse than he would treat hia horse. Ho takes the fcedbag away from his horse when he thinks tho horse has enough to eat, but he keeps his own fcedbag on so long as ho feels like eating. "More people dig their graves with their own teeth" than aro put out of existence in any other way. In my opinion, tho business man who does without a vacation is a poor financier, because he is drawing on the bank of health without making mak-ing a deposit, and if ho keeps doing that long enough the cashier of tho bank of health will notify him he has overdrawn the account. In somo cases the banks get "sore" and close tho account. In the case of the human hu-man being that means a funeral.
