FOR THE HEALTH OF THE ARMY IN INDIA
(1862-1865)
The question is no less an one than this: How to create a public
health department for India; how to bring a higher civilization
into India. What a work, what a noble task for a Government--no
"inglorious period of our dominion" that, but a most glorious one!
That would be creating India anew. For God places His own power,
His own life-giving laws in the hands of man. He permits man to
create mankind by those laws, even as He permits man to destroy
mankind by neglect of those laws.--FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE: _How
People may live and not die in India_, 1864.
