title: ENDEMIC DISEASES VS. ACUTE EPIDEMICS.
abstract: Epidemics are cared for through the incident terror of the people, and there is always money to fight them and investigate, but the far more important insidious endemics attract little interest or popular support. Attention to reduction in morbidity, rather than mortality, rates is the "stitch in time" plea of Dr. Ravenel.
