HEILTHY MNESI
JACOBH DEMAND
Nestor of American Physi
cians Denounces Conditions
Governing Motherhood.
ATLANTIC CITY, June S.—l*he r
tfter cheer greetert Or. Abraham Jacobi
as he “tapped to the front of the plat
form at the meeting of the American
Medical association and accepted the
gavel as the insignia of the highest of
fice in the country to which a physi
cian may be appointed in the line of his
profession. As this remarkable man of
82 assumed the duties of his office he
spoke with great feeling and said face
titlously:
"I have been waiting for more than
' 80 years to get hern, but now that I
have accomplished it, I am going to tell
what I intend to do. There are but a
short few years left to me, but in that
time I want to see the American people
regenerated.
“At the present time mothers do not
• want to nurse their babies because they
do not know any better. You can not
improve on nature by any form of mod
ification of mil’; and thousands and
thousands of children are being sacri
ficed annually on the altar of the modi
fied milk station.
Marriage Health Certificates.
‘"We have got to have national legis
lation to compel the control of the
marriage relation My first work will
be the appointment of a committee
which will take up the question of
health certificates before marriage, and
that if this is not done the American
people are doomed to bo one of the ex
tinct races within the next century.
“In addition to the dissipation of th*
men who are unfitted to marry, there
are women who are just as incapable,
because they haVo violated the laws
of hygiene and health and am hourly
bringing into the world degenerates
that are sapping the life blood of the
nation. If it continues and them is no
government control the future destinies
Os America will be controlled by the
descendants of the Immigrant who is
*ar more moral.”
He Attacks Midwifery.
The venerable specialist and “Nestor .
of American Medicine,” as Dr Jacobi
was referred to, criticised the practice
of midwifery in this country. He said.
“America should hang her head in
Ihtrnr at the laxity of her laws In
Europe midwives are subsidized, and In
gome countries they are compelled to
take a college course, and are under
such restrictions that if they do not (
perform capably their licenses are re
voked Contrast this system to what
Is done here in America.
“Midwives do as they please and In
New York at least 50 per cent of all
children are born without the services'
of a physician Is it not a marvel, ;
therefore, that so many women are th’
subjects of disease after childbirth .’"
