Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Medical Research and Human Welfare: A Record of Personal Experiences and Observations During a Professional Life of Fifty-Seven Years
First, and by far the most important, is Good Health. Without that, one is crippled. Having it, one can achieve the rest, such as food, clothing, shelter, the other prime needs of the body, and for the mind, education, men tal development, travel, books, pictures, and all the varied factors which collectively we call Civilization. To them are to be added as far as possible the negative assets of life, such as freedom from sorrow and grief caused bydeath, especially the premature death of those dear to us. To' aid us in achieving those blessings and free us from those sorrows Medical Research is our best friend. The human mind especially the medical mind is never content with things as they are. We are ever seeking to decrease our ignorance and increase our knowledge; to make things better, to devise new means for health and happiness.
