VALUE OF HEALTH. In America men are realising the money value of health. There is in New York an exten- sion of life corporation. You go to it, and a careful examination is made, as if for an insurancë company. The result is sent to your own doctor, and for an annual fee your health is re- gistered, and you are counselled as to the avoidance of any particular strain or as to the need of any special treatment. It is on the Chinese principle,; which pays a doctor to keep you well rather than to aid your recovery, Many of the chief: men in New York have gained in health by this new idea.
