Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Annual Report of the Board of Health of Detroit: July, 1882 Other large questions, such as the hygiene of schools, the paving and cleaning of streets, the adulteration of food, the ventilation Of public buildings, etc., have not been discussed, but in due time will receive attention.

Butler nobly says: In fairly estimating what sanitary science has done and can do for the people, we are to take into consideration all those powers, values, and, indeed, sympathies, which are the real vital elements Of the State, and which must exist in due proportion to make the best whole. We are also to take the right estimate of an other element of public or State property, whose full measure Of worth political economists have only Of late been ready to admit, the money value of each healthy life, acknowledging the soundness of that axiom of finance as well as Of political econ omy, that public health is public wealth.
