Excerpt from Letters to Jack
We are living in a town which possesses a most energetic public official. I have rarely, if ever, found a harder-working head of department than the present Commissioner of Health in the city of Chicago. When he goes in pursuit of a disease-germ, it is all over with the germ; for the attack will be made with a ferocity that is appalling. So say his friends, and they are many. Nor will he neglect to ally himself with anyone who can be useful to him in stamping out disease when existing, or preventing its spread when threatening. The writer has good reason to know, for he fell a victim to the doctors persuasive powers, and became an ally in the campaign. All this brings me to one of the great subjects of discussion at the present time.
The tendency of medical research to-day is directed far more towards prevention than cure.
