    I believe that such maps as I have had the honour of sub- mitting to this Congress tend to draw the attention not only of the student of demography and medical geography, but of the medical practitioner to the very localities where the causes of prevalence or infrequcncy of certain diseases are to be found. Such maps, too, in the practice of preventive medicine are indi- spensable, when the medical practitioner is asked the all- important question by patients predisposed to certain diseases, where they, their children, or those in whose welfare they arc interested, similarly predisposed, should live, so as to give the dreaded malady the least chance of developing into a fatal form.
