Excerpt from The Sanitarian, Vol. 19: A Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Preservation of Health, Mental and Physical Culture, July to December, 1887 AS complementary to the recent Parliamentary Budget, I would beg to submit for ourselves, ' and by way of example for the Health of Nations of which Dr. B. W. Richardson is about to treat at length very shortly - the financial value of properly qualified sanitary service. And, first, let me refer to the amounts of money charges upon the community arising from the excessive sickness and mortality which we have proved to be preventible by sound sanitation. Some approach may be made to estimate the amount of those charges from the ascertained incomes of the life insurance companies, which perhaps do not comprise more than two thirds of the popula tion. There are some ninety-three of these companies, com prising almost exclusively middle-class persons, of which com panics the annual income is stated to be twenty-three millions and there are also the great friendly societies, of all sorts, whose aggregate annual insurance charges - as stated upon the authority of Sir James Paget - is twenty-five millions annually, or three times the amount of the Poor's Rates. The two yield a total of forty-eight millions annually. And if we could ascertain the full number of the uninsured, I expect that the whole would double the total budget for both the army and the navy, which is stated to be thirty-two millions. Thus.
