It saps the foundations of personal health, of happiness and of 
family life. In its train follow neurasthenia, insanity, sterility. 
The health, the sanity and the enduring life of the individual and 
of the nation depend upon an immediate and thoroughgoing 
reform in these respects. 
In conclusion, I wish to repeat that our highest intellectual, 
aesthetic and moral culture springs directly from the same vital 
stream as our sanity of body and mind ; and He who announced 
that He came into this world that we might have life and have it 
more abundantly devoted no small share of His labors to repairs 
upon the biological foundation which is so necessary a basis for 
the elaboration of the higher life.
