Page 188 - Tis of the wave and not the rock; 'Tis but the flapping of the sail, And not a rent made by the gale ! In spite of rock and tempest's roar, In spite of false lights on the shore. Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea! Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee.
Page 126 - Its first object is to check the birth-rate of the Unfit, instead of allowing them to come into being, though doomed in large numbers to perish prematurely. The second object is the improvement of the race by furthering the productivity of the Fit by early marriages and healthful rearing of their children.
Page 176 - I deplore sincerely having consecrated several pages to unjust attacks against Hahnemann and his disciples, and I would like to be able today to tear these pages from my book.
Page 231 - THERE is the national flag! He must be cold indeed who can look upon its folds rippling in the breeze without pride of country. If he be in a foreign land, the flag is companionship and country itself with all its endearments. Who, as he sees it, can think- of a state merely?

Modern automatic machinery performs many things ordinarily performed by the human intellect and the human hand. A man can move and think only because of heat units derived from food. The germ can exist and go into the reproductive process only because of the heat units it receives. Heat units are the source...
Page 53 - I recently heard one of the members of the Cabinet state that in the United States 55 per cent of the arable land, for one reason or another, is being held out of use. Now, suppose in the United States we could put into effect some measure that would force this 55 per cent of our arable land into use. The effect at once would be to double the number of jobs. If the jobs were doubled in number, wages would be doubly increased! The only way I can think of forcing this unused land into use is a tax...
Page 469 - From the last cervical vertebra a peculiar irritation seemed to radiate upwards into the neck, outwards into the shoulders, and forwards through shoulder to sternum. The distress caused by this sensation was aggravated by fatigue, but only partly relieved by repose. On two subsequent provings being made with the same preparation within two years of the above, substantially the same symptoms were reproduced.
Page 469 - ... discharge was acrid and caused a vesicular eruption on the lower lappet of the ear and on the neck wherever it touched the skin ; the inflammation of the ear generally was not vesicular : the color was a bluish red, and the ear had the appearance of being infiltrated with water...
Page 52 - Such sanitary work as is necessary in the tropics is inexpensive, but measures directed against special diseases are not the greatest good that can be accomplished by sanitation. "Before these great results that we can all now see are possible for the sanitarian, we shall have to alleviate more or less the poverty at present existing in all civilized communities. Poverty is the greatest of all breeders...
Page 43 - ... and duties of these bodies. The health organizations of several cities were likewise investigated. Investigations of the pollution of streams and the examination of shellfish were also conducted. Trachoma was combated in the Appalachian Mountains, where it is most prevalent, over 12,000 cases being treated. Surveys in certain states during the year showed that the disease is not an uncommon infection. Rural sanitation work was conducted in six different states and everywhere resulted in the reduction...
