128 THE HEALTH BULLETIN.<strong>The</strong> man or woman who follows time; but <strong>at</strong> least, for th<strong>at</strong> one, de<strong>at</strong>hthese primary regul<strong>at</strong>ions will still will not be hastened nor life poisonedhave left a reasonable range <strong>of</strong> ills b/ the too common torments <strong>of</strong> indifromwhich to die in the fullness <strong>of</strong> gestion and dyspepsia.BRICKBATS AND BOQUETSLast month several changes weremade in the <strong>Health</strong> Bulletin. Atthe same time we <strong>of</strong>fered our readersa "come back" in this issue <strong>of</strong> theBulletin in order to find out howthey liked the changes. It wasplanned to head the department"Brickb<strong>at</strong>s and Bouquets," but so farthe department lacks the variety wehad hoped it would have. We areanxious to have some good stiff constructivecriticisms. It won't hurtour feelings. We simply want toknow how to make the Bulletin morevaluable to our readers.Here is wh<strong>at</strong> a few <strong>of</strong> our readerssaid:"I congr<strong>at</strong>ul<strong>at</strong>e you on the "tiurrentissue <strong>of</strong> the Bulletin. I wish you tosend me 200 copies if available andplace the following names on themailing list. * * *"J. Howell Way,''President St<strong>at</strong>e Board <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong>.""Many thanks forthe <strong>Health</strong> Bulletin.It is fine."Anna Steese Richardson,''Woman's Home Companion.""1 have just run through the SeptemberBulletin. I didn't know whowas editing it until I reached thelast word. If power to interest andinstruct makes good editing, my experiencewith this number is evidenceth<strong>at</strong> you are a success from thestart."You and Rankin are engaged inthe most useful business th<strong>at</strong> I know<strong>of</strong>. J. W. Bailey,"Collector Internal Revenue.""<strong>The</strong> September issue <strong>of</strong> the Bulletinis jusy 'bully.' Keep <strong>at</strong> it. Youare on the right track. <strong>The</strong> brevitiesare fine;the 'Brickb<strong>at</strong>s and Bouquets'I am sure will be popular."Geo. a. Wood,"Nazareth C<strong>at</strong>holic Orphanage.""I think the September Bulletinis excellent. I have enjoyed it thoroughly.Dr. Wm. S. Jordan.""I am very much interested in yourmonthly <strong>Health</strong> Bulletin. Thismonth's issue is very good. I have<strong>of</strong>ten wished th<strong>at</strong> everybody in theSt<strong>at</strong>e could read it each month."Geo. Y. W<strong>at</strong>son.""I certainly did enjoy reading yourlast Bulletin—the September number.B. F. Montague."When a thing reaches the point <strong>of</strong>becoming a problem, there is hope. Itis the utter indifference to the seriousness<strong>of</strong> the health situ<strong>at</strong>ion th<strong>at</strong> hasmade the de<strong>at</strong>h r<strong>at</strong>e so high and thelife interest so low. When men madepublic the appalling waste <strong>of</strong> life, thepublic made assault upon them fortheir "unp<strong>at</strong>riotic" exposure <strong>of</strong> homeconditions. <strong>Health</strong> reformers haveto fight their way, as every other reformerhas had to do, and it is now acceptedth<strong>at</strong> the so-called "fancy diseases"are not fanciful and th<strong>at</strong> prevention<strong>of</strong> more than half the de<strong>at</strong>hsshould be easy.—W. T. Bost in <strong>The</strong>News and Observer.
