94 THE HEALTH BULLETIN negligence of the company that furnished the water. Scientists have proved long ago that typhoid fever is not an act of God, but on the contrary, an entirely human disgrace. Now if the courts go a step further and decide that it is not a disgrace only, but a prima facie evidence of criminal negligence, another long step will have been taken toward the elimination of the disease. City authorities who furnish water to the public have a duty to know what kind of w^ater they are furnishing. As soon as they assume public responsibility of office in a city or town it becomes their duty to know that the public water supply is safe, just as it is their duty to know that their public bridges are safe or that their public schools are not fire traps. The sooner officials appreciate the full significance of this public health principle and their responsibility, the better for them and their constituents. GUARDIX; YOIR HEALTH We constantly read in the daily press accounts of persons dying suddenly who were not suspected of even being in bad health, and also it frequently happens that we are surprised to learn that a friend that we had met w^ithin a day or two apparently in perfect health is suddenly found to be desperately ill. The reason for this is that many diseases are so insidious that the damage to vital organs goes on without warning until the breaking point comes and with it sudden death. Knowing this to be true, would it not be wise to have an examination made of your physical condition, say at least once a year, in order that you may feel assured that you are not living in a state of false security? If a thorough examination reveals that you are normal, that knowledge alone is worth the trouble and small expense involved, and if such an examination should reveal that you have some abnormal condition, surely such knowledge is vital to you, that you may have the advantage of remedies applied while there is yet time, to say nothing of the saving in expense and lost time that would inevitably come later. ( VISE AM) PKEVENTIOX OF DEGENERATIVE DISEASES Many diseases are largely due to defective elimination, or chronic accumulation of toxics in our body, due to one or more of the following causes: 1st—Overeating, especially of meat and highly seasoned foods after middle life. As some one has aptly expressed it, we too often dig our graves with our teeth. 2d—Insufficient exercise, or too much or too strenuous exercise. 3d—Social diseases. 4th—The use of alcoholics and the excessive use of tobacco. In fact, intemperance of any kind. Probably the greatest determining factor is ''the strenuous life." The mad rush for the almighty dollar, and undue worry and anxiety, interfere more or less with all the normal functions of the body. Worry is ten times more disastrous than work. THINK HEALTH! "It is not a fear of illness or of death that we should encourage, but a love of health, a sense of responsibility for the care of our bodies, a desire for bodily endurance and efficiency and full achievement, the mind is fixed on these ideals, and the already known means of approaching them are utilized, the needless miseries that embitter the lives of so many may be left to take care o' themselves. ''It Is not so much necessary to fight disease as to cultivate health for the happiness, contentment and moral (jain that it brings.''
