TO PREVENT DISEASE
BY REGULAR MEDICAL EXAMINATION NATIONAL CAMPAIGN IN BRITAIN (United Service.) London, November 25. “Feel fit? Then see a doctor,” is the recommendation of Dr. Meredith Atkinson in outlining the latest plan of the New Health Society for a national campaign to prevent disease by regular medical examination, which the New York Extension of Life Institute has successfully inaugurated, aided by the insurance companies. One of the claims of the scheme which was adopted in 1914, resulted in one case in an 18 per cent, drop in the policy-holders’ death rate, and in another a 23 per cent, decline. Three British companies are now including periodical examination as a policy-holder’s privilege. The plan is sufficiently successful to warrant its continuance.
