DOCTOR AND PEOPLE
ADDRESS TO BE DELIVERED BY
DIR. J. N. MCCORMICK.
Will Be Under Auspices of the Medi-
cal Association; Date Is Wednes-
day, Nov. 10, at 1890, Presbyterian
Church; Public Is Invited; Pro-
poses to Discuss Subject That Is
Near to Hearts of Public.

DR.. j. n. Mccormack of Bowling
Green, Kentucky, secretary OF the
state board of health and chairman
of the organization committee of the
American Medical association, will de-
liver an address at a meeting to be
held under the auspices of the Blue
Earth County Medical society, at the
Presbyterian church on Wednesday,
Nov. 10, at 1880 p. m. sharp. Although
for the discussion of medical topics,
this meeting is by no means for the
physicians alone. 1t is the desire of
the officers and members of the local
medical society that there shall be a
large attendance on the part of the
general public, and especially on the
part of ministers, teachers, lawyers,
members of women's clubs, employees,
working men and, in short, all public
spirited citizens. -
Campaign for Pure Food.
The American Medical association,
which DIR. Mccormack represents, is
carrying on a systematic campaign for
pure food, pure drugs and better SAM
tary conditions throughout the coun.
try. As the representative of the
American Medical association, DR.. Nc.
travelled all over the United States,
addressing audiences on popular topics
connected with this work. As an. evil
dence of the impression which he has
made elsewhere, we quote from The
Mobile (Ala.) Daily Item for Jan. Is,
1907:
'Dr. Mccormack delivered his fa-
nous lecture on Friday night to a
large and deeply appreciative audi
ence. Representative classes from all
phases of society were present. Physi-
clans, lawyers, ministers, teachers and
a large number of ladies gave the doc
tor close attention for over an hour,
and the intense interest throughout
showed not only the lecturers ability,
but also that the subject presented is
one close to every heart"
Address Will Be Understood.
The Free Press is informed by the
committee in charge of the arrange
ments that the address will be on
popular topics, which will be readily
understood by any one, and that DIR.
Mccormack will discuss questions of
the greatest Importance to every COM
munity. After the lecture general
discussion will be held, which will be
| participated in by all present. In be-
half of this distinguished visitor and
of tine County Medical society, The
Free Press urges the general public to
turn out and give DR.. Mccormack an
audience worthy of the Importance of
mis- subject.
The committee expresses the hope
that no lecture or other entertainment
will be appointed for Nov. 10, SO that
all citizens will have an oportunity
to hear DR.. Mccormack. II
President Cooper of the state nor
NAL school will preside, and after DR..
McCormack's address Judge Cray, f.
NJ Currier, Rev. w. M. Jameson,
Father Robert Hughes and other prom
inent citizens will be called upon for
few remarks. -

"Other diseases especially fatal to

ply to it. The term is an indefinite
one, being expressive merely of the
symptoms attending the true cause of
death; nevertheless no fewer than
6,45O deaths were compiled therefrom
for 1908, although, in compilation, any
other definite cause is preferred. The
term is no longer employed by we'll
informed physicians in reporting causes
of death, and it is possible, by in
quiry made by the local registrar i'm
mediately after the receipt of this and
other unsatisfactory statements, to
practically eliminate them from the
returns, as has lately been done for
Chicago.
Practical Sanitation Needed.
"In the light of the figures quoted
above it would seem that practical
sanitation has only made beginning
in the work of preventing the occur
renee of infant and child mortality.
The ground has only been scratched
over. Deep stirring of the soil and
thorough cultivation of all the means
available, with our present scientific
and medical knowledge for the guard
ing of young human lives would pro-
duce startling, and from all past hui
man experience almost unbelievable
results. Public health, as a function
of government, is itself only a crea-
ton of the middle part of the last
century, dating from the utilization of
the knowledge available as a result of
the operation of the English laws for
the registration of vital statistics
QS37. Even in England however, no
systematic efforts have been made I'M
til very recent years to utilize to their
utmost possibilities the facts already
known. The infant mortality of Eng
land was higher for the years 1896 to
1900 than for the years 1861 to 1865,
and no marked reduction in the early
rates occurs until the present decade.
at is time that greater attention
be given to the subject in the United
States. The prompt registration of all
births and the more careful and pre-
else statement of causes of death by
physicians are essential. Such terms
as 'convulsions,' 'marasmus,' debility
and the like should no longer be toler-
ated when the true cause of death can
be determined"

Three Songs.

The song Of the sea
Is a deep mystery
For it GIBBS and flows
And says strange things,
Then signs, then sings,
SO wild and free!
The song of bird
What sweet melody!
What a burst of JOY
From a tiny throat
That feels each note
SO full of glee!
But the song of heart
Is the souls harmony
And it tells of Joy
That is wide and outflowing,
