With what feeling Of horror We think Of the
thousands Of victims who have crossed 1t never to

bridge connecting health and disease which has
caused more signs n the history of the world than
any structure built by the hand of man. Ii is a
subject for universal sadness when think how
many are daily crossing this bridge. Can We re-
