Illinois then had no legislation providing compensation for accident or disease caused by occupation.

When employers tell me they prefer married men, and encourage their men to have homes of their own, because it makes them so much steadier, I wonder if they have any idea of all that that implies.

It was easy to present figures demonstrating the contrast between lead work in the United States under conditions of neglect and ignorance, and comparable work in England and Germany, under intelligent control.

No young doctor nowadays can hope for work as exciting and rewarding.
