Book excerpt: Excerpt from Health and Healing When we remember that sound health is the foundation of every other good, of all work fruit ful and enjoyed, we see that in this field new knowledge and new skill have won their most telling victories. Pain, long deemed as inevitable as winter's cold, has vanished at the Chemist's bidding: the study of minutest life is resulting in measures which promise to rid the world of consumption itself. Dr. Billings's masterly review of medical progress during the nineteenth century, following upon chapters from other medical writers of the first rank, strikes Preven tion as its dominant note. T 0-day the aim of the great physicians is not simply to restore health when lost, but the maintenance of health while still unimpaired.
