Text
It is a good omen and means a better and wiser day when doctors and business-men meet together to forward a movement in the interest of stronger and longer lives for all humanity. The health of the individual is a question which touches not him alone, but society. The ravages of disease are not the problems which concern only for or his patient. It is the business of the community and of the nation. Every man and woman in America owes a duty to the country, to the world, and to the age, to prolong the span of life and increase the fefficiency of human creatures to live up to the best there is in them and to do their full share of the world’s work. It is the ounce of prevention which is better than the pound of cure.
