12 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1921 SAYS CITIES LEAD COUNTRY IN HEALTH Medical Association Leader Explodes Ancient Theory that Farmers are Healthier than City Cousins By H. K. Reynolds Washington. -- Don't send your children to the country if you want them to be healthy -- cities now pro- duce the most virile men. Thus does Dr. Hubert Work, First Assistant Postmaster - General and newly elected president of the Ameri- can Medical Association, explode the old fashioned theory that the greater chance for health prevails among the green fields, the waving corn fields and the wooded hills of the rural dis- tricts than on the asphalt pavements and crushed rock playgrounds of the big city. It is not that the strenuous and sometimes endless tasks of life on the farm are not just as healthful as they ever were, but, says Dr. Work: Improved Living Conditions "The city affords more sanitary liv- ing conditions than the country," and he pointed out that there are three distinct reasons why city boys have a better chance for health than the country boy: "In the first place, the living condi- tions are more sanitary, medical at- tention is more prompt, and there are greater medical facilities. Those are the three reasons." Asked if the dirt and noise of the average American city afforded great- er opportunities for health than the rural community, with its fresh air, good food and other advantages, Dr. Work said: "Statistics show that there is a greater proportion of healthy boys among the city groups than the coun- try ones. "There are more doctors in propor- tion to population in the city than in a farm community. There are 140,000 doctors in the United States, and over half of them are city physicians. This means that it is harder to get a doctor in the country. The farms are usually extensive, and the doctor must lose much time in getting about. Hospitalization Factor "In the city there is a doctor con- venient in almost every neighbor- hood, and the sick child may receive attention without delay. The doctor's proximity enables him to keep the child under close observation. The country doctor may be just as effici- ent and scientific; his education is no doubt practically the same, but he lacks the facilities of the city physi- cian. "That leads me to the third reason the city boy is healthier. There are greater hospital facilities here. And the children receive medical attention even in the public schools. Their mouths are clean. The attention giv- en their teeth by the dentists of the school authorities is admirable. It must be realized that there is no more important item of good health than a clean set of teeth to masticate the food. "Hospitalization is another matter that cannot be overestimated. Many doctors have learned there is no bet- ter place to work and are prompt in advising patients to avail themselves of their facilities. But here again the country book lacks." Dr. Work believes that much of the movement from the country to the city can be attributed to mothers who realize that their children will be healthier in an urban community.
