In presenting a few plain truths I would not be thought by you to unduly magnify my office. I want to speak to you not only as a physician, but as a citizen upon whom has been placed a responsibility, to make certain truths touching the home and the lives in the home so plain that you will share with me this responsibility, which is both yours and mine. portant, I believe, that can come before a body of citizens, active in the betterment of the community and the safety of the individual, but a question that can be answered.

This germ of parasitic disease is in the same category with smallpox, cholera, yellow fever and the bubonic plague, in that it is caused by a specific agent, is due |
