From Raising Healthy Children to Defending the Insane: Medical Wisdom from Dr. Fredrick Peterson--Neurologist, Poet, and Humanitarian - Preventative Medicine and the Reconstruction of the Race

< i > Preventative Medicine and the Reconstruction of the Race

Nutrition--physical defects in 75% children, 38% WWI recruits
Federal school lunches: 2 penny lunch (not pickles & ice cream)
Preventative health--"No adequate supervision of the bodies of children in the schools and no health education"
"To have a strong healthy race, it is necessary to begin with the children at once", the education, nurturing of a child should begin before it is born" *
"Our greatest national asset--a nation that is to be"
Nutrition = "American" = patriotic
Legal MDs--Law are about property (animals & rivers have stronger regulations than children)
"Lawyers are out of touch with humanity , therefore doctors have to get involved in law"
