MARY’S HOSPITAL, AND MEMBER OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. “ The developement of the public health is a scienee and an art.It is the office of medicine to raise men up to a high standard of health, and not merely to heal the sick.Cholera only shows in high relief what exists in ordinary circumstances. Medical men rarely, if ever, treat the beginnings of diseases ; and are scarcely ever consulted professionally on the preservation of the health of cities or families.But the preservation and the restoration of health are parts of one science ”—Mr. Farr’s Report on Cholera LONDON: JOHN CHURCHILL, NEW BURLINGTON STREET; WOOLWICH-: W.
