Preventive Medicine.

The impetus toward preventive medi-

need Tor the movement it is sufficient to
quote that one-third of the human be-
ings born alive die before the age of five
years, largely from preventable causes.
and that one-fourth of the distress
which manifests itself through poverty
is caused by sickness, largely prevent.
able, and one-half the result of alcohol

consummation of Pasteurs prophecy,
that sit is within the power of man to
make all infectious diseases disappear
from the world" the world has come to
see clearly that large proportion of
the maladies which sweep victims away
year after year can be prevented, not
only through direct medical treatment,
but through correct living and the eff
icient administration by authorities of
laws of sanitation.-Boston Advertiser
