The Nationalisation of Health (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Nationalisation of Health I have been pleaded that the primary conditions of health sound be recognised as of first importance to the community. They have been so recognised, so far as they have been understood, in every great period of civilisation of which we have much knowledge, as Roman and Moorish ruins alone suffice to testify. That they are not so recognised to-day is the chief element of rottenness in our own civilisation. We postpone laying the foundations of our social structure in order to elaborate its pinnacles.
