A nation is defined as being diseased
"when, as a unit, it is chronically in
capable of directing its activities to-
ward self-preservation.' National dis
eases are not necessarily of the ma
iority of the nation. In the human
system one organ may fail us and pre-
cipitate an untimely death; so in
nations. A degenerate aristocracy, a
dissolute priesthood, or corrupt gov
eminent has led to the undoing of a
nation, the majority of whom have
been free from national disease. The
diseases that destroy nations are not
so much of the individual, but of the
national life. National diseases may
be classified under four heads: |, i'm
perfect nutrition; 2, poisons; 3, men
tai shock; and 4, sexual subversion.
Some physicians trace all disease in
the human body indirectly to INSULT
cient or misdirected nutrition in one
of the organs of the body. The his
torian Buckle said that "the history
of every nation could be traced by the
food it was accustomed to eat" The
expression was too sweeping, yet it
was based upon truth. every nation
must have, throughout all the nation,
enough to eat, of good quality, and
properly prepared; or that nation will
degenerate. "-Scientitic American.
