Sir,-We ‘have too many sick people and too high a medicine bill for a healthy country: the forms of disease seem to multiply and become more complex in proportion to the development of technical and medical science, If this results from emphasis on curative rather than on preventive medicine, we should think (if I may coin an analogy) of spending more money on fences at the top of the cliff instead of on ambulances, however modern, at the bottom. Maybe Dr. Ulric Williams’s voice is that of one crying in the wilderness.
