Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions, 1912, Vol. 33 AM one Of those who have for many years watched with keen interest all movements having for their Object the improvement Of health and of health conditions. I have tried to understand them and the facts upon which they were based, and to keep in touch with developments as they arose. We have arrived at a point when no one would care to deny that the good health Of the people should be one of the most important Objects Of good government, whether national or local. It is also fully realised (to quote the words Of the majority report Of the Poor Law Commission) that to the extent to which we can eliminate or diminish sickness among the poor, we shall eliminate or diminish one half the existing amount Of pauperism; words not very different, however, to those used by Sir Edwin Chadwick and Mr. Nassau Senior, over seventy years ago!
