A DEFINITION OF HEALTH.
"We will take as our definition of a good standard of health a state of well-being such that no improvement can be effected by any change in the diet," said Sir John Orr, Director of the Rowett Research Institute, in a recent speech. "I assure you that stock farmers breeding for the market will accept no lower standard than this, and if human health and physical fitness Avere marketable conimodities, and had the same monetary value as the breeder's stock then the feeding of our children on a lower standard would be rcgarded as gross business inefficiency."
