skilful medical work. As a consequence,
there was no cooperation between the
profession and the people IA the matter
OF the prevention and cure of disease.
Without this cooperation the best efforts
or physicians went largely for nothing,
ana the community was not In sympathy
With the broad means now used for ac-
Siplishing the worthy objects of the
great medical profession. IL has been
found, however. that cooperation between
the people and the fraternity in these
important matters is absolutely necessary
IN order that effectual results may be
reached. This cooperation can be brought
about only by the education of the people
IN the principles aud procedure of the
work intended to be done. II is easier and
better TO teach men how 20 secure their
OWN health. ana 10 cooperate with them
IN the work Of securing it, than 10 leave

indifference of Public.

In travelling through the state. have
had occasion to observe conditions which
prevail with reference 10 the water sup
ply In some place / have been aston
ished at the apparent indifference Of the
people regarding the kind Of wafer they
use for culinary purposes. Water which
is allowed TO run through the streets
and is polluted by every conceivable
means is taken into the homes of the
people and used without any attempt at
purifica ton. Wells that serve as
source OF water supply are subject TO
seepage OF surface wafer at irrigation pc
rlOds and the water bears almost every
conceivable contamination. In short,
such conditions prevail as would not be
tolerated under any kind Of efficient sani-
tary regulation. The result of this deplOr-
able condition Is seen Ia the prevalence.
at certain intervals. of such infectious
diseases as typhoid fever. pneumonia etc.

Natural Means of Prevention.

need not speak TO you about the reia-
tive value of prevention and cure. The
comparison has passed into prOVerb. It
IS so much better and so much easier 10
prevent the disease than 10 cure il after
IL has gained a foothold, that 1 need not
discuss that phase of the subject al all.
Nor would l feel it my place or province
10 speak at length Of the means by which
this prevention can best be secured. That
has been the subject of papers and dis
cussiOns by Leading lights of your profess
sion, and all that / can say will be but
weak echo Of what they have already
said. There is one general thought, how
ever, which l wish 10 express with refer
ence TO this matter This prevention is 10
be secured, not by drugs or narcotics, for
they are proving almost as Intellectual
as the charms and lamentations used IN
olden times for the same purpose. The
best means of securing ia, is by the IN
telllgent use OF the means OF prevention
which nature has placed in our hands.
The air. the water. the food, and the
other wholesome elements nature has
given US, are pure when they leave her
hands, But these pure, free things OF ma
lures giving, are contaminated through
the conditions Of our civilization. For
this contamination, cur community hfe
is responsible The water is polluted by
US for our neighbOTs, and by our neigh
bors for us The air We breathe IS con
taminated by eXhalauOns, both natural
and unnatural The very dust of the
streets is filled with disease germs, on ac-
count Of our association together in COM
munitY life.

Progress of Sanitation.

The conditions of our association we
cannot change, nor do We wish, in general,
TO change them. on them our civilization
aud advancement depend But the effects
or this association, so Tar as they are in
furious to health, because of the contain
ination OF these natural elements of our
life, may bc overcome, or at least largely
diminished by the proper use of sanitary
measures. We associate together for mu-
tual recreation and enlightenment, in the
religious, the social or the educational
gathering. The air we breathe in COM
mon IN those places is of necessity con-
taminated. But science has told Us how
We can best overcome the effects OF this
contamination. The unfortunate cOmmu-
nifty is the one that does not take adYan
tage of these suggestions of science. 20
with water, soil, food, etc II in the ma
tural state they are wholesome and their
contamination comes about through the
social habits OF men then the best way TO
prevent that pollution or 10 reduce its evil
effects TO 4 minimum, Is 10 take adNdn-
tage of the sanitary measures science has
devised.
/ cannot refrain from speaking at this
point of the wonderful progress that has
been made OF late years in sanitary
science. If the surgical branch of the
medical profession has made such for
ward strides as TO awaken the admiration
OF the world. sanitation has fully kept
pace with IL. So far has this science pro-
pressed that IL IL not now so much
question of knowing what to do to secure
sanitary conditions il is "A question of
doing or neglectipg to do the thugs We
know. And the one great and important
feature of this scientific progress that I
wish particularly TO emphasize Is the fact
that the people have been and are being
taken into the confidence Of the profess
sion in these vital matters There is no
air of impenetrable mystery surrounding
these res earchcS and their results, Thanks
10 your efforts, ladies and gentlemen of
the medical profession, the truths deyel-
oped by the master minds among you are
freely given 10 the world.

sertion that the actual saving in this cN-
Dense would more than offset. in few
