This statement is true, but IL may
mislcad. One is likely to Infer that
enough public health officers and
sanitary engineers could usher In a
hygenic millennium. hun the thing Is
by no means so simple. IL must be
remembered that about so per cent OF
the menace to life Is not dealt with by
public authorities. The idea of pre-
vention. then. will have limited In
fuence until il is accepted, not merely
as government policy but as guid-

and toward medical service, are es-
sential conditions of progress. SO. far
from discarding the doctor, this new
regime will give him a changed but
