The true physician is not called only to minister to the sick and relieve the suffering, but to a higher duty of pre venting disease and avoid 'the spreading of contagious and infectious matter. He well knows that personal ambition must be put in the back ground, the aim of his profession being not meiely to cure dis ease by the simplest method and keep people cured the longest length of time, but to prevent sickness and disease as far in as his power lies. Only a few are permitted to have a course in a medical college and learn how to prevent and cure sickness. So it becomes the duty of that few to use their knowledge, not as a means to gratify their personal ambition or greed, but to be the most practical aid to their fellow man who is dependent upon them for his health. The majority of people have neither the time nor the inclinasion to study hy giene, but there are a few simple laws which can be put before them in a prac tical wry which, if carried out, will pre vent much sickness which otherwise will come if these laws are disobeyed. Having been elected health officer of Cumming I shall endeavor to live up to this ideal of a true physician, and in a series of short practical articles to follow lay these laws before the people and ask : their co-operation in “cleaning out, clean in'* up and keeping clean” onr town, that we mav have the most healthful town in North Georgia.
