Health Contagion I-IlCAGO'S Departtnent of ll ealth i ~ to he congratulated upon its \YeeklY Bulletin issued on Dec. 8. under the cdito~ ship of Ilcnnan 1\. Bundesen, l\I. D .. comtni , sioner of health. It is entitled, "I-Iealth Contagion," and contains son1e excellent ad\'ice, which n1any could profit bY heeding. "Let's talk good health," it sta~ts off bY urging on the outside /sheet, continuitv;, "That is the best way to start good healn1 contagion. Let's stop the dreary tales oi sickness and nntitnely death and pread cultures of the genn of g-ood health . . . 'J'o a con~iderahle extent your health is wl1at you think it to be. J oflv yourself :.1to _aYing each day. 'I'n1 certainly feeling fine t~) day.'" .\nd the other three ~beet do not belie the introduction just quoted, .. for in large type at the head .of the n1ain article arc these \Yords: "Yes, Sir! That's ( )ur l nh: J(eeping \Yell People \Yell and -:\Lal..:in~· IIralth Contagious." The reading tnattc 1· under this caption urges that it i about time that \Ye abandon the alutation, "Ilow are you feeling today?" frotn the standpoint that, first and ~last, it has probably done a great deal of hann in rctnindinc'· people to think of their ill . "Isn't it nntch better to sngge:t the health idea rather than the disease idea?" it a. ks, and a fe\Y lines further on it says that "we are approaching an epidetnic- of health." Just a few tnore sentin1en ts tnay be gleaned fron1 this patnphlet to advantao·e. ·f or it is really full of good things. For ~1 stance. who would \Yan t anvt hin <r better than this: "The trouble \\·iti1. '1 ~n,· are you?' is that at titnes it ma\·~ carry the ~1a rmf ul suggestion that in some persons tt encourag-es a tendency to self-analysis . \Vhen one begins to 'feel his feeling ' ~,·ep a health:· person may be led into ·a chain of thought regarding sickness, and the search for a sick spot is often the causl' of fruitless \YOrry and wretcheclne . s . . . . The truth of the matter is that tnuch o i our ill health i~ tnental, and occasionally it i s mere 1y an n nco n sci o us 1> i d for at tent i.o n and sympathy." Of course. interblendecl \\·ith these estitnabk piecrs of advice ar~ thers hasecl upon tnediral beliefs, but not '"ithstanding this fact the g-eneral tone of the whole is conduciYe to dissipating· tnany a popular fallacy.
