In his address before the state
medical association, President Beau
doux, dwelt upon the personal respon-
sibility of the physician as a work
er for the public health, and said:
Each member of our profession
should consider himself health Off
Ger and prevent the pollution OF our
streams and the spread of disease to
| an innocent people. The easiest way
to rid a community of pollution is by
preventing it. ~.
"Since the meeting of that great
scientific bodv last fall in Washington
anti-tuberculosis has been the cry,
and the wave of education that is
sweeping state after state has led
us to believe that we, as an intelli-
gent people, have determined to rid
ourselves of that dreadful plague:
"The North Dakota profession Will
not fall short in doing its duty in this
campaign of education and owing to
the diligence of it's state board OF
health, will, / am sure, be one OF the
first to show a mortality almost NIL
from this disease.
Our state board OF health made an
effort to secure an appropriation to
equip and maintain an anti-tubercu-
losis crusade and although it was de-,
MED them by the legislature. the sec
rotary, with the assistance of the d.
rectors of the state archaeological
and pathological laboratory, DR.. Rudi-
ger, has nevertheless about completed
these preparations and planned
most thorough and efficient campaign
through the state.
ITO further and promote state leg
islation and appropriation and to as
sist the state board of health in car
dying on it's work unrampered for
financial reasons, it has become nee
essary that we realize our position
and mediocre influence in such mat
tiers, before the legislative bodies SIT
ting at Bismarck. Your present COM
mittee has pot met with the success
they had hoped, not because OF their
inactivity or inefficiency, but from the
fact that legislators, like the great
majority of the 1aity, lock upon medt-
cal legislation from commercial
standpoint and through their lack OF
education and apprehension OF our
work are too prone Il label our de-
mands with the stamp of personal
greed or gain.
Zone Of the most important legis-
lative acts which is focusing the at
tention of intelligent people every
