Mexico’s Revolution and Public Health

The revolution and rioting in Mexico still keep up, with much loss of life and property. There are those who claim that if it were not for the rivalry of the big money interests that are seeking a monopoly of the commodities of Mexico, the war would have closed long ago. Indeed, they think it never would have started.

Leading physicians delegated by the American Medical Association, recently met in Washington, D. C., to urge upon President Wilson the importance of creating a Federal Department of Public Health. The need of such a department in our government, to cope with the frauds and adulterations in foodstuffs, must be quite apparent to all.
