Excerpt from The Sanitarian, 1885, Vol. 14: A Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Preservation of Health, Mental and Physical Culture, January to June, 1885 To make the prospective dose still more unpalatable, it is offered to you to-night in the form of a presidential address but this Association would not deserve its praenomen of Amer ican, if it omitted this solemnity. From the stamp-collecting societies of little ten-year youngsters, who elect their presidents every four weeks, to that society which constitutes our nation and elects its presiding officer for four years, inexorable custom tempers the exultation which fills the male or female breast at being invested with the dignity of being set over, if only the two or three who are gathered together, by requiring him. Or her to deliver a presidential address. Let it somewhat reconcile you to the in¿iction that yours is after all the better part.
