‘‘Health is something far more than absence of ill-health. It is indeed a great and positive thing. Healtvi. means the seeing eye. the hearing ear, the clever, ninrhle hand, the strong right arm, the swinging step, quick wits and a clear head. It means, as well, the lumpy buoyant heart for the persons who is tor ever whining and complaining, the person who cultivates the misery habit’ is not healthy It lias been well said that ‘the whole code of public health legislation is a proclamation by public authority that a man is his brothers keeper, and that no man liveth to himself alone.’ If ho does, if ho is wholly wrapped up in himself, makes a pretty small parcel. . . ''he individual householder has not only t‘> safeguard his own and his family s health, ho must play the game of health in his team of neighbours along his own street, and in his own community. Our health conscience is a very sensitive index of the depth Hie. quality of our citizenship.”—Dr AA . E. Henderson.
