AS KNOWLEDGE progresses the
world slowly comes to see that
much that was formerly looked
on as mysterious dispensations
OF providence was simple ignor-
ance. Who but can recall the
time when one was stricken with
typhoid or other disease and
mysterious providence" was set
down as the cause. Yet we are
beginning to know, and practise
on the knowledge, that many dis
eases are as preventible as most
accidents, and that man was not
granted immunity from such dis
asters except by the study of
causes and elimination of these
The time will come when disease
may be considered as disgraceful
as vermin.
