Excerpt from The Calcutta Journal of Medicine, Vol. 27: May 1908

In the introduction the author writes that there has pro bably never been a time when the attention of the public has been more generally directed toward the care of the health than the present. This we think is not quite true. Human being since the dawn of intelligence proper has been always careful to the attainment of long life and the avoidance of disease which the flesh is heir to. Ample record of this is found in the ancient literature of India. In these days of trumpet ing through newspapers and magazines we may think that there has probably never been a time when the attention of the public has been more generally directed toward the care of the health than the present. Silent work was the order of the days gone by, and experience of sages of different ages were recorded for the benefit of mankind. But noise is the order of the day we live in and pushing-forwardness and self advertisement have been ruining the cause of humanity. In our vain attempt to further the progress of the world we have been creating mischief which has been positively undermining the health of all nations. The so many preserved and chemical food prepared more for the sordid gain of money than for the benefit of mankind, has been doing immense mischief in the world.
