WASHINGTON.—Prof. Irving Fish er, the eminent political economist of Yale University, who in one of his papers before the recent International Tuberculosis Congress In Washington declared that consumption costs the people of the United States more than a billion dollars a year, is preparing an exhaustive report for the National Conservation Commission, which will contain not only these figures, but similar data on the economic loss to the country from all other prevent able diseases. Prof. Fisher is a member of the National Conservation Commission and for many years has been carrying on studies along these lines. The commission received letters from phy sicians all over the country urging It to consider the bearing of public health on the economic efficiency of the nation in its efforts to ascertain the resources of the country. The commission from the beginning has contemplated reports on the economic aspects of several phases of the conservation movement which affect the duration and effectiveness of human life, but Prof. Fisher has undertaken to prepare a comprehen sive statement of the whole subject of the relations of public health to Dr • Pierce’s Golden Medics! Discovery I. equally renowned for its many cures of Stomach Weakness, Indigestion, Torpid, or Lazy,' Liver and kindred derangements, as well as for Blood and Skin affections. In many ail ments of women the combined use of these two ryedicines is advised X It s only a dishonest dealer, here and there, that will attempt to persuade you to accept a seertt nostrum in place of these time-proven remedies OF known COMPOSITION. Rest?, it the insult to vour intelligence and trace elsewhere. 1 World s Dispensary Medical Association, R. V. Pierce, M. D., President, Buffalo, N. Y, WHY IS IT? the general field of conservation, and especially as to the waste from pre ventable diseases and unnecessary deaths. Dr. Fisher is professor of political economy at Yale University and chair man of the "Committee of One Hun dred" of the AmefH.'an Association for the Advancement of Science, which ! has for a long time been carrying bn propaganda for the increase of na tional health through the elimination jof preventable diseases. This com jmitte of one hundred is composed of physicians and men engaged In active sociological work In every part of the country, and the results of their in vestigations and experience are all , available to Dr. Fisher, so that his report ought to be the most thorough -1 going and complete summary of the situation ever made. At the Tuberculosis Congress, Prof, r isher declared that 138,000 persons die of consumption every year. The cost of medical attendance and the loss of earnings before death average at least $2,400, he .said, while if to this is adtfrd the money that might have been earned with health, the to tal loss in each case Is about JB.OOO - pointed out also that the disease usually attacks young men and wo men just at the time when they are begining to earn money and cuts off their earning power for about three years on an average, before they die. This subject o. the economic value to the country of a general raising of the average health came up in the Governors' Conference at the White House in May. Dr. George M. Kober in his speech on the “Conservation of Life and Health by Improved Watei Supply" at the conference presented figures which showed that the de crease in the "vital assets of the country through typhoid fever in a single year is more than $350,000,000. Typhoid is spread by polluted water largely so that the death rate from t his disease can be directly reduced by the purification of city drinking water. Dr. Kober quoted statistics MONDAY. OCTOBER,, 12 to show that the increased value of the water to the city of Albany, where the typhoid fever rate was reduced from 104 in 100.000 to 2G by an ef ficient filtration plant, amounts to $475,000 a year, of which $350,000 may be considered a real increase to the vital assets of the city. Census bu reau figures show that the average annual death rate from typhoid In cities with contaminated water sup plies was reduced from 69.4 per 100,- to 19.8 by the substitution of pure supplies. Dr. Kober cited estimates showing that the average length of human life in the sixteenth century was between 18 and 20 years, and that at the close of the eighteenth century It ,was a little more than 30, while today It Is between 38 and 40 —Indeed, the span of life since 1880 has been lengthened about six years.
