But it is not alone in tho field oi mechanical invention that this Is truly a wonderful age. The onward march of pjogress is just ��� as rapid and^even more remarkable In scientific research and attendant result*, Take the .science of preventive.medicine as an extimpla. 11 is diflicult :today to realize that only a century ago ,the average length of life was less 'than..thirty years. It practically doubled during the nineteenth century, and now comes tlie' further news that the average of life in the United States and ���Canada has been lengthened by five years since 1900, but so quietly and effectively have the forces of prevention been carrying on their successful warfare ;against disease and death that few realize what has been accomplished, nor ���how it has been accomplished. One of the chief-causes is the decrease ln infant mortality. The spread ���of vaccination did away with smallpox, sterilization ami jhe use of anaesthetics made modern:surgery possible,, pure milk and water supplies have pro- vented typhoid., fresh air has done much lo conquer tuberculosis, toxide and ���other serums are eradicating diphtheria, scarlet fever and otlier diseases!, the ���discovery of insulin has resulted in control of diabetes, while present-day- knowledge of how the excess or lack of secretions of the ductless glands ������affect the health has opened a new world fo the medical profession. 'With all its horrors, sufferings and losses, the Great AVar conferred at -ieast oue-benefit on mankind ih that It opened the eyes of all people, and particularly all .Government!*, to the physical condition of (hc race and dem- ���onslruted that the greatest of all national assets aro people, and people ol strong bodies and robust health without which mental equipment must remain below par. The Great "War also demonstrated on a huge scale beyond ���all possibility of_dispute that disease can be controlled tuid prevented. In times of peace, people can, if'lhey will, live Jn clean and hygciiic surroundings/, obtain pure food aud water supplies, eliminate flies aud disease breeding germs. * But this is not always possible in llie case ol" troops under war .condition's.;* In the -Soutli Atrican war the Uriiis_i had 58,000 cases of typhoid fever and 8,000 deaths in an average army strength of 208,000. In the Great War the average strength or the British Army was 1,250,000 men, 'but*only 7,500 cases of typhoid and 2615 deaths therefrom. Why? Because ���at the beginning of the war all British soldiers were inoculated against typhoid French soldiers were not inoculated at first aud in the first sixteen months "there ^m^OKpW=^es_^iLirTn7;Trl^l2,""00""0���deatlis. " l'lieir"tlie~Freuclf were inoculated with the result, that the amount of typhoid iever fell to that in the ���British Army/- A very, frank article by Dr. O. t_. Fleming appears lu the Uritish Medical Journal respecting the disappearance of certain infectious diseases which in -���the past used to demand high toll in Gi'eat Britain. Figures quoted from thc British Ministry of. Health show that i'rom J880 to 'JJJ21 -diseases such as diphtheria, typhoid, scarlet fever and tuberculosis have decreased 50 to 07- per cent. In the case of smallpox the decrease is actually LOO per cent., not ���a single case having been reported in 1921. Medical science may justly claim a fair share for the result,.but he I tor ���conditions', of life, of home, of workshop, the stopping-of child labor, shorter hours of work, better food, more sunlight aud air, more rational dress, more outdoor recreation, all have been instrumental in effecting this glorious change tor the better. * * ^ . Doctors arid Government and municipal health authorities can do much, ���end arc doing it, but unless they are supported by tbe rank nnd ilie of the people their best efforts must fall. < An enlightened public cau do more to prevent disease "than any otlier agency.
