Ixxiv RESOLUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. 



To the Minister of Health. 



The British Association for the Advancement of Science, in reviewing the 

 results of scientific method applied to practical arts, recognises that the successful 

 issue of the War has sprung from the efforts of scientific men concentrated on 

 those problems, and, with the conviction that the welfare of the nation is 

 dependent on the continuous study of such matters, would urge on H.M. Govern- 

 ment the necessity, for apportioning an adequate sum from that allocated to the 

 upkeep of the jMinistry of Health for the purpose of a definitely organised scheme 

 of research on biological and other problems in connection with the causes and 

 communication of disease, and the preservation of the national health.

 of research on scientific problems connected with the production, preservation, 

 and distribution of foods.
