Take Advantage of
Preventive Medicine
—Care Increases the Span of Life
; Avail Your Melf of the Health Benefits in Modern hnmrl
; edge of Disease, Urges Dr. Copeland, Pointing Out the
Marvelous Progress of Medical Science in Recent Years
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.,
United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner of Health, Kew York City,
Wb hare made great prog
ress against disease. This
is shown by the cutting in
half of the nation’s death rate
since 1900.
Mach of this
; decrease, of
i course, has
! been among in*
i fants. It is be
lieved, however,
there can be
made a further
great dec rease
in the present
general death
rate. Too many
people have not
as yet availed
them selves of
what is called
"p r e ventive
DQ COPELAND
medicine.
Many diseases of infants, chil
dren and adults, can and should
be prevented. The future of medi
cine and the future of the nation
as a whole, lies, not in the curing
of diseases, but in the prevention of
diseases.
To a remarkable degree, public
health can be bought, Unfortu
nately. there are too many commu
nities that neglect to do the things
that prevent disease. There are too
many Individuals who will not take
advantage of their opportunities.
Since the discovery of the toxin
anti toxin control of diphtheria, the
death rate of this disease has been
reduced 95 per cent. If all parents
would take their children to physi
cians for injection against this dis
ease, there would bo no diphtheria.
With care in the cleanliness in the
homes and city streets, with proper
supervision of the water and milk
supplies, and protection against flies,
typhoid fever, at one time a very
common disease, is how compar
atively rare. There is now available
a vaccine that protects against this
disease.
Wherever typhoid fever does exist.
It may be said to be due to care
lessness. This carelessness is either
the fault of the individual or of the
community. Ignorance in these mat
ters is almost criminal.
We look forward to the day when
preventive medicine and care of the
public health will become a national
affair. War must be declared on all
diseases that can be prevented and
which still cripple the nation. It is
true that the health of the people of
the United States and Canada Is far
1 letter today than it was In 1900, but
there still remains much to be done.
This is a subject which should
be taught In the schools. It should tie
discussed In the home. The press,
the pulpit, the radio—these agents
for good should be enlisted even
more than they now are in spread
ing health-knowledge.
