Abstract

MR. CALDER is avowedly a journalist, using the familiar devices of journalism in his method of presentation, but he writes with the ardour of an earnest social reformer, inspired by deep conviction of the essential justice and Tightness of the cause which he pleads. His aim is to stimulate, by enlightened public opinion, State and municipal action to utilise adequately the results of modern scientific investigations which have shown how to prevent and to cure disease. Few will quarrel with this aim in a world where vast hordes of people are receiving less than the amount of nourishment which nutritional science has shown to be essential for the maintenance of health, while large supplies of ‘surplu's foodstuffs are being destroyed, and where countless human beings are suffering and dying from preventable diseases. The achievements of medical science, faithfully served by the adjunctive sciences of chemistry and physics, are attractively and accurately presented with a restraint and freedom from exaggeration seldom found in propagandist works.
