Abstract
Good health is one of man's most precious assets. The desire to live, to be well, to maintain full command over one's faculties and to see one's loved ones free from disease, disability or premature death are among the most strongly rooted of all human desires. That is particularly true of Americans who, on the whole, eschew the fatalism or preoccupation with the hereafter that is characteristic of some other cultures.
