หน้า 211 - Memorandum : That over the seats in the parliament-house there were certain holes, some two inches square, in the walls, in which were placed posts to uphold a scaffold round about the house within, for them to sit upon who used the wearing of great breeches stuffed with hair like wool-sacks, which fashion being left the eighth year of Elizabeth, the scaffolds were taken down, and never since put up.
หน้า 14 - Of the infectious fevers, small-pox might be rendered nearly harmless by complete and careful vaccination. Typhus and typhoid, scarlet fever and measles, might, with proper guards against infection, be confined within very narrow limits. So, probably, might whooping-cough and diphtheria.

The right to add to, alter, amend or expunge any of these Bules is reserved by the Executive Council.
หน้า 19 - And this, which is a sign of the best personal health, is essential to the best national health. For, in a great nation, distributed among its people there should be powers suited to the greatest possible variety of work.

หน้า 10 - For the other classes, who are estimated as losing the other 9,000,000 weeks' work, it would be hard and unfair to make a guess in any known coin, for these include our great merchants, our judges and lawyers and medical men, our statesmen and chief legislators ; they include our poets and writers of all kinds, musicians, painters and philosophers ; and our princes, who certainly do more for the wealth and welfare of the country than can be told in money.
