"This age period has been selected for special consideration because it is during this time of life that one notes the first appearance of many of those maladies which have the most important bearing upon the length of life of the individual, and upon the efficiency and well-being of old age. Nearly all of these disease processes are most amenable to treatment during their early stages, at a time when the evidence of their presence is first manifested, as in the majority of them, after they have become well established or advanced, our therapeutic measures can only serve as a means of checking the progress of the process, or as an aid in counteracting their injurious effect. The recognition of their presence during middle life is, therefore, essential if the individual is to enjoy the greatest possible degree of usefulness in his later years." - Preface. An interesting snap-shot of the treatment of issues of chronic disease management, aging and preventive medicine during the Twenties. ; xi, 951; viii, 920 in 2v pages.
