16 The Health Bulletin September, 1946 Greek interest in the perfect body arose with him. "Throughout Greece after the death of Asclepios, scores of temples sprang up as shrines for his worship. The most famous of these was at Epidaurus, on a hill in the vicinity of a natural spring. Before this marble temple stood a statue of Asclepios and his two daughters, Hygeia, the goddess of health, and Panacea, the goddess of healing. "Hippocrates was one of the 15 illustrious men who adorned the Age of Pericles. Born 460 B.C. the son of a temple priest, he became the 'Father of Medicine'." Other persons included in this chapter are Aristotle, Galen, Paracelsus, Vesalius, Pasteur and Bernard. Chapter 6 is devoted to Medical Science Today. Chapter 7 has a heading: Using Medical Service, which includes discussions as to when to call a physician, what to expect of physicians, choosing a physician and medical aspects. Chapter 8 is entitled, Avoiding Cults and Quackery; Chapter 9, Beginnings of Public Health Work; Chapter 10, Public Health Work Today; Chapter 11, Personal Preventive Medicine. Subsequent chapters are as follows: Germs, Infection, and Asepsis; Resistance and Immunity; Pneumonia, Influenza, and Other Acute Respiratory Infections; Tuberculosis; Syphilis and Other Venereal Diseases; Various Infectious Diseases; Heart, Arteries, and Kidneys; Cancer; Diabetes and Other Endocrine Gland Disorders; Appendicitis and Other Disorders of the Digestive System; Rheumatism and Other Joint Conditions; Asthma and Other Allergic Conditions; Accidents; Injuries and First Aid; Poisoning and First Aid; Medicines and Self-Medica-tion; Alcohol and Other Habit-Form -ing Drugs; Oxygenation; Hydration; Circulation and Blood; Muscular Work; Nutriment and Nutrition; The Daily Diet; Digestion; The Teeth; Weight Control; Excretion and Elimination; The Mechanics of Posture; The Foot; Sunlight; Body Temperature; Atmos- phereic Conditions; Clothing; Cleanliness and the Skin; Vision and the Eyes; Hearing and Equilibrim; Fatigue, Rest, and Recreation; Sleep; Reproductive Functions; Heredity; Parenthood; Brain and Nerves in Relation to Mental Health; Principles of Mental Hygiene; The Self Impulse; The Sex Impulse; The Social Impulse. In any textbook of this sort there will always be statements about which there can be a difference of opinion. Dr. Meredith's discussion of tobacco would lead one to the conclusion that she is not one who has enjoyed the pleasures of tobacco in any of its form and that she is not engaged in the tobacco business, either as a farmer, manufacturer, or dealer. Although she deals with tobacco rather harshly, she fails to reform at least one tobacco addict. OUR FRONT COVER—Several months ago the Public Health Nurses of North Carolina decided that they should express their appreciation of the valiant service which Dr. Cooper had rendered to the cause of public health throughout the years of his professional life. These nurses know how Dr. Cooper inaugurated many of our public health programs. He, perhaps more than anyone else, has advanced the cause of public health nursing in North Carolina. Each nurse in the State was apparently a member of a committee that was dedicated to finding something which would add to Dr. Cooper's comfort and pleasure. When it became known to other public health workers in the State that the nurses were planning to honor Dr. Cooper, financial aid was offered to them by those who also wished to honor Dr. Cooper. It was the feeling, however, of the nurses that they should bear the entire cost of the gift and that no one except a public health nurse should be a partner in this particular testimonial. They finally decided upon a chair which is shown on our front cover and which was presented to him at the 1946 Meeting of the North Carolina Public Health Association at Winston-Salem in October.
