Show Sir Andrew Clarke, the celebrated English physician, at an inaugural meeting meet-ing of a course of lectures in London, defined health as "that state in which the body is not consciously present to us, the state in which work is easy and duty not over a great trial, the state in which it is a joy to see, to think, to feel and to be." Such a condition of health, Sir Andrew thinks, is not common among men, and, judged by this rule, he declared that one-half one-half the population of London is permanently perma-nently ill. |
