Popis:	political aspects of the modern community is consideration for the health of its people. We who are interested in public health are keenly aware of the truth of the statement so frequently attributed to Benjamin Disraeli that "public health is the foundation upon which rests the happiness of the people and the power of the state. The first duty of the statesman is the care of the public health." No nation can be strong if its people are lacking in physical and mental vigor; the backwardness of disease-ridden people and their inability to break out from the pernicious circle of a low economic status, occasioned by and further causing impaired health, amply demonstrate our national dependence upon the well-being of our people. It is no exaggeration to say that no country has ever been economically, socially, or politically strong that was physically weak.
