doctors, which is a habit of
thought with most people, except
as to their own physician, which
did not disappear with the re-
moval of the cause, and in spite
of the rapid advances, of the pro-
fessiona1, and the heroism and
individual worth of its members,
this is almost as strong as it was
a generation ago. I speak in
the light of an experience which
has come to few men. I have
been a State health official, and
as such, represented my profess
sion before my legislature for
80 years, and often before the
Congress at Washington. Once
or twice almost every day for six
years I have spoken on this SUBJ
ject to popular audiences in
every section of the union, lay
men discussing it freely at the
close of my talks. In this way Il
have been able to make a study
of doctors and what the people
think of them in a very broad
way, have found this sentiment
almost universal, and it is on
this account mainly, that it has
been so difficult for us to secure
and enforce our legislation.
You will first be shown how
this feeling against doctors has
affected us as a nation. For lack
of authority for medical officers
during our war with Spain, we
lost 16 of our soldiers from pre-
ventab1e disease for every one
dying as a result of battle, and
IS of each 100 were inmates of
the hospitals. Duringthe longer
and more severe war in Manchu-
ria, with full authority and rank
for their doctors, Japan lost but
one man from disease for every
four killed in battle, and but IS
of 100 were in the hospitals: We
had known of this danger to our
armies andhad beggedfo proper
authority for our army surgeons
for IS years, and since these
wars, with the object lessons of
Cuba and Manchuria before the
congress and country we are
still begging, and. practically the
same dangers yet face our ar
mics in the event of a foreign
war. Facts of the same kind al
most without number might be
given to show that except in the
emergency of epidemics S, no other
nation has been and still is so
criminally negligent of the health
and lives of both it's soldiers and
it's citizens. \
Bad as is this record for the
nation, that for most states is
little better. Probably at least
one-third of those. sick and of
those taken to your cemeteries
every year are afflicted with dis
eases which ought not to occur.
About one of every ten deaths
are from consumption, and in
spite of all the talk about pre-
venting it, you now have a large
tubercular population. This is,
not an inherited disease, and if
all the expectorated matter from
every case now in the state
could be collected and destroyed,
as your health officials and physi-
[%cians are earnestly trying to do,
until all now sick of it either e
cover or die, and other neces-
sary. precautions be taken, you
would soon have none but impor.
ted cases. You have a large sick
and death rate in the State from
funhni6 fever avarv wear This
