“In a general way man is careless of health. So long as the machinery of the human body functions without undue friction he is content to let what is apparently well severely alone (writes Sir William Milligan, M.D., in the London Evening News). “The mechanical engineer, on the other hand, recognising the strain and stress to which machinery is put in the fulfilment of its daily task, insists on the frequent overhaul find inspection of his plant, in order that any flaw, however small, may be detected and suitable repairs at once instituted. Equally necessary is this overhaul of the still more delicate machinery of the huinqn body, machinery which is becoming more and more stressed and strained as civilisation advances and the fierce struggle for existence increases. The prevalence of arterial and cardiac disease, of nervous affections and of cancer, point irresistibly to the conclusion that mankind is paying an increasing price for his short sojourn in this world.”
