Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Health Bulletin, Vol. 57: January, 1942 The late Sir William Osler, at the age of 56, when under the emotional strain of saying goodbye to his friends in America, seemed rather pessimistic when he spoke of the relative useless ness of persons over 60. He lived, how ever, to be over 70 himself and exerted a profound influence in later years upon medicine and upon the general welfare.

Excerpt from The Health Bulletin Of course, concern for the health of the people is nothing new for us. North Carolina pioneered in the Better Health Movement during the 1940's and has never ceased its efforts to improve services. Under the leadership of the State Board of Health, an excellent system of local public health services has been developed. During this biennium a total of $800,000 was made available in State aid to local health departments. At the State level new programs are being implemented which will insure quality care in the transportation of the sick and injured and in genetic counselling. Existing programs for the control of salt marsh mosquitoes, for the inspection of food and lodging establishments and for the dental care program were strengthened. The fine system of local hospitals is a credit to many people who worked on the local, State and Federal levels under the coordination of the North Caroline Medical Care Commission. North Carolina now ranks 12th from the top among States in the number of hospitals and 15th in the number of hospital beds constructed and 3rd in the number of Public Health Centers developed under the cooperative financing program. North Carolina has at Chapel Hill the only State-supported medical center in the South, with major professional schools for medicine, dentistry, nursing, public and pharmacy.

Excerpt from The Health Bulletin, 1946, Vol. 61 No new year should be treated like the newborn babe it is all too often pictured to be. It should hold the ao cumulated experiences of the past, and these experiences should be translated into action that in no sense resembles child's play. As we enter 1946, there is probably no better admonition for us than that given by the poet Richard Horne.
