THE PATHWAY TO HEALTH
Tremendous strides have been made
since 1907, when an active campaign
was begun against tuberculosis in this
country. The death rate from the
dreaded white plague has been cut 55
per cent, and that means an annual
saving in the year of 1926 of 100,000
lives.
It is a triumph to medicine. It is
more than that; it is triumph to
neighborly influence and example. In
the old town hall, the friendly meet
ing place, wherever friends gathered,
the campaign has been carried on.
If we are to escape the fates of
Chinese, Mayans. Aztecs, and Incas
we must live as neighbors. The fun-
damentals of health are habits and
customs and the circle in which we
move is more elevated than any of its
members. Disease is an incident that
