The Annals Of Hygiene

Excerpt from The Annals of Hygiene, Vol. 11: A Journal of Health; January to December, 1896 Dr. William A. Hammond has asserted that there is no physiological necessity for death, claiming that if it were possible for an individual to determine just how much vital force he would require each day; and if he would consume just the amount of food necessary to produce this amount of force, that he could thereby maintain such an exact balance between breaking down and building up that everlasting life would be possible. In this idea, Dr. Hammond, while, to a certain extent, physiologically right, is, as we all know and believe, practically wrong. However, there can be no doubt but that what we should strive for is a balance between these two vital processes.

Excerpt from The Annals of Hygiene, Vol. 2: The Official Organ of the State Board of Health of Pennsylvania; January-December, 1887 I have been asked many times the question why the Romans have spent such an amount of time, labor and money in building these prodigious channels across mountains and valleys, tunnelling the former and bridging over the latter with tunnels and bridges many miles long; when it would have been so easy and so economical to lay down pipes, following at a moderate depth the undulations of the country. In other words, I have been asked whether the Romans have known or not the use of syphons. To be sure they knew it, in theory and in practice.
