the word health to the diverse nations of the world in 1851 when mans life expectancy was 41 years the medical officer of health was concerned chiefly with problems of communicable disease in epidemic proportion his concern then did not embrace problems of housing and mental health but through con tinued efforts and increased medical knowledge baby hoys born today have a life expectancy of 61 years

social aspects of physical illness no tuberculosis patient enters the sanilorium neither does a person reach old age that the social side docs not almost over shadow the physical condition health is being cared for in rural as well as urban communities by the health units but there is a sad lack of trained and organized groups in rural areas to deal with such soc ial problems as that of old age
