Lexington, May f3.-ln the
opinion of the delegates who
have been I'm attendance ON the
convention of the Virginia Pub
lie Health ASSOCIATION, which
ended yesterday afternoon with n
trip 10 Natural Bridge, the CEN
trial thought of all the addresses.
including that OF Surgeon-Gen-
eral Gorsas, was that Virginia
will be free OF malaria, typhoid
fever and the other commune
cable diseases just In proportion
as she is willing to pay for ade-
quate prevention.
Dr. Goreas' address Yesterday
which was the feature of the meet
ing, dealt witt malariai prevention In
Cuba and Panama. 1t showed how
the proper expenditure of public
funds. under the direction Of trained
sanitarians. had given an entirely
new cast to life In the tropics and had
transformed a dangerous. almost un-
inha bitable country into one that now
has a worldwide fame for salubrity
and sanitation. The same thing DIR.
Gorsas suggested, could be done in
anv community that sufficiently ap-
preciated the economic Importance OF
good health to pay the price of pre-
venting disease.
A striking feature Of DR.. Gorgas'
address, and one that drew forth
rounds OF applause from the large
audience tina. heard him, was his
reference to the work done by Dr. X.
r. Cooke and others who have been
overlooked in awarding the 'prspSe
and the prizes for the Investigations
that showed the responsibility of the
yellow fever mosquito for tire car
rage of that plague. DR.. Gorgas
paid a very nigh tribute to DR.. Cooke,
who is now practicing medicine In
Front Royal, having retired from the
United States Army. He also com
mended in unequivocal terms the Two
soldiers who had volunteered for yeA-
low fever experiments and had never
received any award except their PEN
sions, despite the fact that the health
of both was wrecked by their e<pe-
rienCes.
Witfie-Rr- e4ergas, address drew ~
the largest audience of the conNen-
ton. many other speeches were de-
livered that also received the closest
attention of the delegates and empha-
sized the same important fact-that
health is purchasaole commod-
ity." From the formal address OF the
frs. evenings session, that OF Cap
