The Dread of Disease.

DIR. GOldwatcr, the New York commits
sloner of health, has recently publish
Cd an article advocating ''the Inaugural
ton Of universal periodic medical eN-
amlnations as an Indispensable means
for the control Of all diseases. As
an illustration of the need and impor-
tance of such a measure, he cites the
recent examination of the employees of
= New York bank. Every one of them
was found ''abnormal,' and ION the
sure road to diseases of heart, lungs,
kidneys or blood vessels.
Possibly that discovery may have
been useful and beneficial to Il few of
the men, that it was so to all may rea-
| abled some of them to ward off the
! diseases that threatened. In the cases
of others, however,, impaired health

the damaging but unsupported processes

kindness. His latent malady is far less
| likely to be progressive while he is un-
aware of it; ignorance acts as stay
of execution.
| The danger of such universal mcdi-
cal examination as the health commits
sioncr pleads for is that it would trans
form innumerable happy and to all in
tents and purposes healthy persons in
to melancholy watchers of their own
symptoms, who would never again dare
to exert themselves hopefully and
eagerly in the business of life. So far
from prolonging life, imparting such
dire knowledge of themselves to PEG
