WILLIAM H. WELCH, M.D., LL.D. 345 



"Particularly interesting is the suggestion that our soldiers possessed of 

 such knowledge as the pamphlet imparts and trained in habits of cleanly, 

 healthy living may be missionaries of health as well as comrades in arms to 

 their French colleagues. 



"Everything possible must be done to protect our soldiers from the risks of 

 tuberculosis, and I believe that the public may be assured that this will be done. 

 Undoubtedly the education of the individual soldier is an important part of 

 these efforts. There is every reason to anticipate that our army will be 

 spared the pitiful experience of the French in this matter of tuberculosis." 



Professor Welch's activities as a colonel in the United States 

 Medical Corps, and the fact that a number of our best medical 

 men were joined with him as advisers to the Surgeon General, are 

 doubtless in part responsible for the relatively small morbidity 

 and mortality from general diseases, including tuberculosis, in 

 our own army as compared with those of our allies and the armies 

 of the Central Powers.
