Director's Address.

In his encouraging address, Hon. Dr. A. R. Wellington, Director of Medical and Sanitary Services,

said:

It gives me great pleasure to be among you to-day and to assist in this endeavour to bring the benefits of hygiene or health to the under standing of the people.

Ordinary persons do not live in dangerous surroundings and court disaster by choice, When they do so it is either because they cannot help themselves or because they do nol understand the danger.

Every one aims at bettering his position and to get the llest pos- sible out of life. The desire for meney and position is based on the comfort of mind and body wealth is supposed to give, Too often it is forgotten that without health there can be no comfort either of mind er of body,

The ordinary man has no desire to do an injury to his neighbour or to receive one from him. He is out

The germs which escape from the body do so mainly by the excre Lions. Once outside they are at a disadvantage and they lie in wait, watching an opportunity to enter another person

Darkness, dirt, moisture and stagnant air are favourable to them and unfavourable to man: light, cleanliness, dryness and fresh air are detrimental to them and favour- able to man.

Government's Parl. The whole object of the science of hygiène is to render life more vigorous and death more remote by promoting those factors which raise the bodily tone and counter- acting those which lower it, and by waging war against the germs which are the cause of disease.

The laws which, are made by Governments to promote the Public Health are made with the object of ultimately helping the individual. But laws and regulations are of little avail unless there be co-opera- tion between the people and the authorities. The people will spond heartily when they under- stand but if they remain ignorant they will misconstrue the intentions of the authorities and there will follow upathy, or opposition.
