About 14,000,000 visits have been made 2,116,875 in 1921 alone. Num erous letters tell of lives caved. HOW WAS IT DONE? Records kept by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company show an extraordinary decrease in the death rate among its Industrial, or weekly premium, policy-holders. Com Cem paring 1921 with 1911, for example, there were 55,000 less deaths in 1921 than there would have been if the 1911 death rate had prevailed. What brought about the great saving of life? The general public health movement progress in medical science and sanitation ether causes, perhaps. But a very great factor has been the tremendous health campaign carried en by the Metropolitan itself. This page tells a1 part of the story. ' FOR THE NATION'S HEALTH 144 health exhibits and emergency hospitals at county fairs last year; 295 "Clean-up'1 campaigns; agitation by Agents for health legislation; nation wide campaigns against special dis eases; sickness and sanitary surveys; a study of municipal health depart ments; leadership of practically all American research work relating te influenza these arc some instances of the Metropolitan's activity in the interest of public health.
