Public Health.

Diseases and epidemics used to be

legal phrase. It has taken modern
sanitary science to discover that the
most Of them result from acts Of man.
and that good portion Of the rest
may b controlled BY the exercise Of
mans power over nature. The United
States government has been . pioneer
among the nations in demonstrating
