Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tuberculosis in the United States: Prepared for the International Congress on Tuberculosis, Washington, September 21 to October 12, 1908 "Our Absurd Vital Statistics. - Vital statistics in this country are an infant science. Yet they are the very basis and foundation of any attempt to better the general health. Knowledge of what is killing us before our time is the first step toward saving our lives. The Census Bureau does its best to acquire this essential information." - Samuel Hopkins Adams in McClure´s, July, 1908. "Resolved, That the achievement of the registration of all deaths, with their causes, immediately after their occurrence, and the prompt return of certificates from local registrars to the central bureau of vital statistics, thereby giving the sanitary authorities of the state timely information of the exact prevalence and distribution of disease, is the most important of all sanitary measures, and should be unremittingly urged until successfully carried out in every state of the union." - Associated Health Authorities and Sanitarians of Pennsylvania, 1904. "Public hygiene is built upon, is controlled and directed by, and is everlastingly in debt to vital statistics. The might and the right to direct the future of preventive medicine, to make and to terminate contracts, to approve and reject risks, to test materials and methods, to invest means and to distribute profits, these things belong inalienably to vital statistics. Every wheel that turns in the service of public health must be belted to this shaft, otherwise preventive medicine must remain invertebrate and unable to realize the profits available from the magnificent offering of collateral sciences. If the unborn historian of hygiene in the twentieth century shall find one anomaly more curious than any other, it will be that the twentieth century, opening with prodigious resources, immediately available, ran a third or half its course before these resources became so standardized that each unit of power might be accounted for in a definite scheme of vital statistics." - Dr. John S. Fulton, then Secretary of the State Board of Health of Maryland, now Secretary-General of the International Congress on Tuberculosis, in an address, "Vital Statistics: A Plea for Actuarial Administration and Control of the Great Resources of Preventive Medicine," before the American Public Health Association, 1902.
