DOHERTY, , Admnlstrator of the Estate of Bernard F, Doherty, deceased. Prominent Physician Says Disease Is Not Necessary Famous Rochester Surgeon Gives Views on Health of Nation and Its Needs. Dr. Mayo Gives Figures in War vs. Disease as Agent of Death Health Hints. . By Charles H. Mayo. M. D. Editor's Note: The most famous surgeon in tne woria toaay is un doubtedly Dr. Charles H. Mayo, of Rochester, Minn. To him nave come men and women from every part of the world and the Mayo hospital has become a world institution. His ad vice is sought by medical men in all parts of the civilized globe and he is generally considered the last resort in surgery when all other means have failed. His article should be read with careful attention. Death, although inevitable to all multicellular life, be it plant or ani mal, is often untimely from disease. The efficiency of nations largely de pends on a full appreciation of dis ease as a cause of sickness in all types of life, and its control or pre vention. Germany doubled her pop ulation in two generations and re stored her wornout land by scien tific care until its acreage produc tion far exceeded our own. It is generally conceded that disease is largely unnecessary, not only con tagious diseases, but also the com mon diseases which make invalids of so many persons. That disease of plants, grains, trees, animals and persons are due to microbic action is becoming generally known. A few persons are mentally so constituted that they refuse to believe that the same agents cause disease of people. It is fortunate indeed that there are more helpful than harmful microbes, since higher life could not exist with out the single-celled organisms. Many such organisms are used In the arts and sciences, in the making of dyes and fermented products, in the household in the making of bread through the action of yeast. The avoidance of them in the preserva tion of fruit and vegetables can well be compared with the methods of modern aseptic surgery. In each.vestigation. Wre now know that the cubic inch of soil there are millions of bacteria, acting as chemical soil solvents for plant root absorption. Some varieties fix the nitrogen of the air for the nourishment of plants, for example, alfalfa; Henry Ford plans to obtain practically the same results at Muscle Shoals by electrically fix ing the nitrogen of the air. The Eternal Struggle. In recognition of the fact that all higher life is struggling against the destroying agents which have an equal desire to live, we spray and fumigate plants and orchards to de stroy insects, moulds and destruc tive germs, or to maintain a temper ature for food, such as milk, which prevents the growth of deleterious microbes.

Such studies i have also shown that wheat rust is!'1"1 typhoid fever at one time, due , to pay the cost of past wars and to having devoted four years to academ carried through the winter on a bar- j t0 failure to establish proper medical prepare for future wars, and that out fc work and five to medical school and berry shrub, that botulism, a deadly i nnknn nri nmHiirt nf biatrial nr. r.- tion. develops in badly preserved olives as well another foods. Such microbes kill, if eaten, and cause the disease "limber neck" in chickens, although they are often carried in the intestines of hogs without appar ent harm. Great economic losses occur from diseases of domestic animals, such as contagious pneumonia, hemor- hagic septicemia, and blackleg. Vac cination has proved very effective in cases of blackleg, and the use of vac cine and serum prevent hog cholera if employed before the disease su pervenes. Tuberculosis is a great destroyer of cattle, hogs and chickens, and the State agricultural departments are doing a great deal to eradicate the disease. Infected milk is frequent cause of tuberculosis of the Imyph glands of the necks of children as well as intestinal tuberculosis, which leads to prolonged ill-health and handicaps them early in life. Our larger cities compel the inspection of dairies and the testing of cows for tuberculosis, or the pasteuriza tion of milk to protect children against milk-borne diseases. Many epidemics of contagious sore throats and typhoid have been traced to con taminated milk. Man is subject to glanders conveyed from diseased horses, and to actinomycosis and carbuncles from diseased cows. Why French Failed. Within a few decades the world has recognized certain carriers of disease, such as the mosquito in dis seminating yellow fever and malaria. The lack of this knowledge led to failure by the French to build the Panama canal. General Gorgas gave the world a great medical master piece of hygienic control by convert- ing the pestilential canal zone to one, of the healthiest places in the world, ine research investigations maae some years ago by Rickets and Wild er in Mexico revealed that typhus fe ver is carried by the body louse. Rickets died of typhus during the in- disease is also carried bv the Central American woodtick, and the common bedbug, if such have access to in-!mous economic loss caused by dis dividuals with the disease. Spotted ; ease in our nets and domestic animals fever in man is due to the bite of the Rocky Mountain tick. The cattle fe ver in Texas, carried by the tick, is overcome by dipping the animals and the selection of certain breedings more immune to the disease. An ex- j instance, prohibition is evaded, es ample of disease of trees is found ; pecially in such states and cities as in the chestnuts which have been have a high percentage of foreign killed throughout large arease of our orn inhabitants, who are aided in country by injure to the paper bark of the trees. Slight variations in the chemistry or taste of the substance give immunity; for example, the Jap anese chestnut is free from trie dis ease. Disease Preventable. Attention is called to a few of the varieties of disease in the living cells of plants, animals and man m order to emphasize the fact that they arejvious to passing of the prohibition an so much anne; tnat tne diseases of man are as preventable as are those of plants in the best managed greenhouses and gardens and of ani mals on well managed farms, and that the economic gain is far greater, The application of scientific know ledge in the war prevented death from tetanus caused by the contam ination of wounds, by contact with the richly manured lands of France and Belgium ; especially prepared serums ana antitoxins were usea which furnish the body with a small amount of material in the blood, such as is left after recovery from small pox, typhoid fever, measles, or scar let fever, rendering the patient im mune to a second attack. On the knowledge of how this is accom plished in the body, and the manner n wnicn it can oe transierrea, not necessarily oy tne individual naving the disease, is oased all on tne pre ventive treatment of contagious dis ease; thus measles and scarlet fever undoubtedly soon will be classed in this group of unnecessary diseases avoidable by vaccination. The spread of such knowledge over the country by four million soldiers will contrib Ute much tO the development of a campaign tor national health. As the wounds and diseases of these sol diers were cured (hey were returned again and again to the lines in order that a military decision might result. The failure of such decision has left the world in chaos for three years. More than 40,000 of the physically and mentally best medical men of our country were in army medical service; the remaining two- thirds, many of them old, retired and poorly equipped for the profession, cared for more than 100,000,000 persons. It is to the credit of our nation dur ing the trying period in which there were 600,000 deaths from influenza, that there was so little complaint, all realizing that the shortage of physi cians in civil practice gave our boys a better chance. Toll of Cancer. We lost less than 77,000 soldiers in the war, but during the same two years 180,000 persons in our civilian population died from cancer. Histo- ry shows that in former wars death from disease was a large factor in the termination of war, since death from disease and death in battle oc- curred in a ratio of from 8 to 1 to as hitih as 16 to 1. In the Spanish war we lost in battle 353 soldiers, while " OW and that many died of disease, Twenty thousand soldiers were sick authority, in tne Boer war tne fcng - "sh lost 9,000 of 56.000 soldiers sick ; .... . ....... wnn typnoia. in contrast to this tne neaiin ana to aia in eaucation, re recent French report on the Great search and general development War shows that six soldiers died in oattie to one rrom disease, l he nec essities of war finally gave medicine an opportunity to make this marvel ous showing when given authority.

Attention is called to theh"veLbught t0 us- 'th osme good, r from his ,imited ho . be lack of public health care as a tional waste, since we lose 600,000 persons a vear from unnecearv dis. ease; 300,000 fail to live through the first year of life, and 125.000 die within the first six weeks. Our ma ternity death rate is the highest of any civilized nation, largely from ne- gleet or lack of opportunity to secure special care in many of the farm dis tricts. In spite of such adverse con ditions it is probable that twelve years have been added to the average ,ength of humar) )ife by app,ied . mpHirai cnVn within tho Uct I decades, largely 'through the preser- consideration of the report of the ex vation of chidren. animation of nearly two million of Look to America. For some years to come the prog- ress of medical science will depend on America. In England, unfortun - ately, all research investigation of disease has been checked by a per- nicious bill, passed through the in iRuence of anti-vivisectionists, which prevents animal experimentation, al so by the development of generalized state medicine and the consequent loss of initiative. It may be men tioned that these same anti-vivisectionists permit the coursing of hares, and wear the furs of trapped animals often held suffering for days until visited by the trapper. The influence of such persons is becoming active in America and must be combated as we combat disease. They wilfully misrepresent experimental research on animals and are unwilling to be- lieve that such experimentation is u - ery expensive, requiring buildings, equipment, much labor, and accurate detailed observations carried out with the exact technic under anesthetics as is used in operating on patients, yet with far greater difficulty. It lsjthese persons may be considered the only by the clear and honest inter pretation of such work that the enor- to say nothing of persons, can be pre vented. We are not naturally law-abiding people. Civilization is but the state i0f social conscience of the mass. For sucn evasion by the congressmen who recresent them. Their efforts to take advantage of the medical profession and make bartenders of physicians, and saloons of drug stores, was doomed to fail. In the control of the use of alcohol, Congress should have ascertained the small amount of i liquor released to wholesale and re- tail druggists for medicinal use pre- ; act. rrumuuuun is mgitai m luuh- tries with universally pure drinking water like ours, and has reduced re - markably not only those diseases caused by alcohol, but the associated j diseases of social and moral life largely aepenaent on aiconoi ano ire sale. Some National Needs. The scope of our national health has become greatly extended over its j former conception in the education of the people. Many, having developed to adult life on a foreign soil, resist progress in this country, necessitat- ing added supervision in the form of prenatal, maternity and baby wel - fare clinics. The physical develop- ment of the child, and the care and'the press is giving to the salacious! capacitated for military service oe- iwvpnfinn nf HiseiK rlurinir school IrfpiaiU nf rtivnr.'p nmrepdinirs of mar- ICiiUSe of disease, in IllOSt instances jfei as0 require national attention. nstruct on ,n physical development, the establishment of playgrounds, and livine and industrial hygiene, are, in a general way, more or less j is rarely sufficient news of educa appreciated by the inhabitants of our tional interest or importance to call cities, with the result that farm life for an extra edition, unless it can be jhas become almost unbearable to our jvouth, t js sa;d tnat 59,000 farms in New England have been abandon ed. 13.000 within the last vear. To L rWrpp this is point' on throtietl out our country, notwithstanding the; fact that the foundation of our na- oping drug addicts by the injudicious j city is fed to hogs on the citv farm tional life depends on agricultural prescribing of heroin, morphin, or and the sale of these animals fur products.

The fanner's investment, if placed in a city commercial business, would entitle him to a good living and a good home with community life, pleasant surroundings, and a few hours' work a day instead of fourteen hours in summer and twelve in win ter for the entire family. In many farm communities con solidated schools and health centers must be established, and the hygiene of the farm home must receive the same attention as that of the city home. Outlying districts without available medical or nursing services can be provided for by state health departments. The motor truck, lab - oratory, roentgen-ray riant, surgical and medical equipment as used in France are just as available for the needs of our people. People are watching more closely the disiribu- !on of necessary government ex- penditures.

Greater restnc- itioj1s must be P,aced on immigrants; tests for mental efficiency should be carried out as they are now for sore eyes, and the examination must be given in the immigrant's own coun trV- s.uch men,al tests as have been made in scattered areas of our coun try have shown that we are slipping backward in mental ability. It is of the greatest interest and is indeed necessary that as a nation we rake recognition of our mental state by a our soldiers, lnese tests showed that closs A was composed of 5 per cent of persons with superior minds who Iwere proved by test to be of a mental aee of eighteen years or more; class , R constitutes 10 per cent of persons with a mental age of sixteen to eigh- teen years; these 15 per cent of our superior people give less evidence of cohesion or coordinate work than do the lower classes. They neither or ganize nor submit to leadership; their voting largely depends on the weather: and thev are full of criti cism, yet make little persona"! effort to improve conditions. From them, however, we secure ideas and ideals of local and national benefit. Our democracy rests on the 63 per cent of persons in Calsses C plus, C, and Q minus, who are of average intelli- gence. Irns includes is per cent or persons in Class C plus (mental age fourteen to sixteen years), 25 per cent of persons of Class C (mental age thirteen to fourteen years), and 1 20 per cent of persons in Class C ! minus (mental age eleven to thir- ! teen years). In the final judgment best friends of progress, and while they must be taught they are less in fluenced by prejudices and more re ceptive of innovations. Our danger our group are the 15 per cent of per sons in Class D (mental age nine to eleven years) in which there are many morons who are exceedingly prolific, and persons with minds of children are probably more trouble some than the 7 per cent of the popu- lation in Class D minus (mental age seven to nine years), many of whom should be in institutions. This 22 per cent of persons are uneducated in greater part and evidence little iudement if educated at all. Like children thev love organization and are easliv led by organizers and swayed hy leaders; they form the dtsngerous elements of mobs, at times even destroying their own interests. These latter groups who have learned 0f the ease of taking human life, nave mcreasea tne criminal ciass, ue- ;Veloping the present manifest wave j of crime throughout our country, : Such an analysis of our people ex- pigins the rapid growth of our insti ; tutions for the feeble minded and in- sane. Press A Poter. The press has become a great pow er in the general education of our people and, for the most part, the newspapers and magazines are con ducted with the greatest wisdom. The;scnooi lire, ana it is oi exceedingly 'editors should realize the importance serious import to our efficiency as a of the press in the development of j nation to find that so little care has 'our national life. In considering tht been given to the physical education 1 mentality of our people it is distress- of our youth that 36 per cent of those ine to note the special consideration the third decade of life were m- ital misfits, and to full descriptions of all kinds of crime with pictures of the murderer and victim, and de- , tailed drawings of the scene. There sold on the basis of information con- cerning crime. This leads us to won- der to persons of what mental age our editors are making an appeal for - ilhp nrlvanr-pmrrit nf nnr nsltion. Thev niooerlv blame physicians for devel could only be found in the police ga- cd a remarkable achievement in as zette? Just as they assemble all ath-! sembling the representatives of the letic news in one folder, could they nine great powers in the disarmament not assemble the information on sor-i conference.

The cabinet officer proposed not only in drug advertising but also hv the Public Welfare Department iin that of irregular practitioners who depend upon advertising in lieu of .tiry for national health problems, one education and accomplishment to se-1 for educational problems, one for cure a practice. There are no drug ; the welfare of our soldiers, and an or medical advertisements in the other for general social service, all newspapers of Kentucky not certified, cooperating under the chief of the jby the State Board of Health. How 'ea - y an J safe a procedure! On not the editors and members of the med- ical profession get together for the national good? A targj proportion of the public takes it for granted that persons licensed by the state to care for the sick poerle are in a cerairt sense guaranteed by the state. This is true ot tne modern pnysician, no must pass a rigid examination after iniernsnip onen w a graduate .course. A Word on Cults. The followers of a few cults, who rcnage, have a limited preliminary education, and have spent a few mnnlhc in cfitti rf Kpir enfMat .. . . , ... 'u:mnr, " lieves that all disease is due to vei rare condition of nerve pressure caused by a displaced rib attachment or slipped vertebra. These very per sistent persons have, in fact, studied a far fewer number of months than the trained nurse, who knows a great deal more than they concerning dis ease and its cure. It is fortunate for chiropractors that they have thus far avoided the treatment of animals, especially those with contagious dis eases. It would be interstine indeed to see them treating the spine of ani mals for blackleg, or glanders, or to see them treat hogs dying of cholera, and chickens with Iimberneck or pip, by replacing slipped vertebrae. It would do such practitioners no harm to know more concerning the funda mentals of such tranches of radical science as are unchangeable and in which the facts are fixed. All persons v.ho are licensed to treat the diseases of men should take the same mini mum medical examination in order to show their ability to diagnose dis ease and protect the public, regard less of the method of treatment. In addition to this, special examination given by their special boards should be required for the practice of par ticular cults, as is now done in the State of Kentucky. .In calling atten tion to the fact that disease is micro bic in origin, regardless of whether the lving cell involved is a part of man, of animal, or of plant, I am ap pealing to our intelligent people. Health Service. A national board of health was created by Congress in 1878 follow ing the yellow fever epidemic but, through lack of appropriations, it ceased to function and was later merged into the Marine hospital ser vice. In 1893 this service was incor porated under the Treasury Depart ment as the Public Health Service. At present this board of health is an efficient department under the Sur geon General Cummings, and has charge of much of the excellent work of caring for disabled veterans. Con gress has been inconsistent in the care with which it controls public works. Boards are at times devel- oped and in emergencies committees are appointed with authority but with- out appropriations, or with great ap propriations and no authority. These unfortunate condiitons to a large ex tent hold true of the thirty-four : boards, bureaus, and committees now existing in Washington in charge of medical affairs. Their work lacks ccordnation and is wasteful in the overlapping of responsibilities and : duties; but the persons holding such positions are backed by their friends in Congress, and will resist any effort at unification. The fear of losing these sinecures is unwarranted, since all such employees would be needed in the greater organization for na tional health. The necessity for na tional educational supervision was shown by the illiteracy of 25 per cent of our draft recruits, and hence our educators have asked for a special cabinet officer. Health and education are inseparable during childhood and ;preemaoie Lack of education may be recovered from, but disease often leaves permanent disability. The Rochester Plan.
