63ac2115-6a0a-4575-ae1e-8faea344e8ca | According to this school of thought, efforts to save infant life merely prevent the "weeding out" of the unfit, and ensure the survival of an excessive proportion of weaklings. This statement, of course, is difficult of direct proof or disproof. The matter cannot be put to the test of actual experiment. To do this it w... |

7fc5e8a1-adac-4507-afd1-45bff3f7613f | The proper selection of foods both in quality and quantity is not merely an individual problem but a public health question of great magnitude.

cc488ddd-771c-42c6-80e9-175de53b8d4e | Last year, a start was made, and action can now be taken under the Meat Regulations. Action is long overdue in respect of other foods. It is unnecessary to prove that certain diseases are caused by the dirty handling of food. When obvious facts as to contamination with filth can be adduced, as they very easily may, the... |
