"HEALTH ... is a purchaseable commodity of which a community can possess, within limits, as much or as little as it cares to pay for. It can turn its resources in one direction and fifty thousand of its members will live who would otherwise have died; it can turn them in another and fifty thousand will die who would otherwise have lived. Though no individual, by taking thought, can add a cubit to his stature, a nation, by doing so, can add an inch to the height of some groups among its children and a pound to their weight."
