Excerpt from Quarantine Control; State or National? The Question: A Speech Delivered Before the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Louisiana, New Orleans, La., January 11, 1893, and Respectfully Submitted to the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives in Congress Assembled
Except in the abstract fact of achievement of the great pur pose mentioned, there remains no ambition; least of all in the hungry greed to capture and hold at any and every sacrifice an official position. Profoundly convinced of the sovereignty of mind over matter, and recognizing pestilence as a result of the operation of living organisms, themselves vulnerable and sub ject to destruction, the belief has amounted to absolute certainty that the people of the United States are abundantly able to defend themselves against the invasions of malignant contagions far more easily than against hostile fleets and armies, if rational methods be devised and enforced with systematic uniformity, with integrity and scientific exaction.
In the present state of advanced enlightenment not to pursue this course of self-preservation is to invoke the incalculable mis chief and unspeakable terrors of plagues, as the richly merited reward of contributory negligence.
