8 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 .’" PRIZE FIGHTER DYING FROM BLOW IN BOUT NEW ORLEANS, June fl.—David Brown, of Memphis, a negro heavy weight, is dying today from a blow re ceived tn a prize fight at Louisiana Athletic club with Joe Tholmer. of New , Orleans, last night.
