Excerpt from Public Health Papers and Reports, Vol. 24: American Public Health Association, Ottawa, Canada, September 27-30, 1898

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen - Complying with a custom which has become imperious by established usage, I now offer the formality of a President's address. I would gladly spare you this infliction, if I dare break the chain which has heretofore contributed so much to your welfare, and from which you will yet receive so much in the future. I can therefore only beg your indulgence with such patience as you may have.

I take the occasion to express in simplest phrase my sincere appreciation of the distinguished honor you have conferred upon me, and through me upon the little State of Connecticut, in giving its Secretary of Health the proud eminence of presiding over the largest and most influential body of sanitarians in the world. The State Board of Health of Connecticut contemplates with much satisfaction this recognition of the position it holds, as an active co-worker among many similar organizations, in the great cause of public hygiene.

Permit me also to congratulate the Association in being invited to hold its annual meeting in this beautiful gem of a city, whose natural attractions and wondrous scenic beauties of land and water are so fittingly enhanced by its expansive and elaborate parks; its magnificent illustrations of gothic architecture, in its public buildings; and not least, in its intelligent attention to public sanitation, as found in its admirable system of drainage and sewerage, its broad and cleanly streets and its bountiful supply of excellent water.

It is significant that three times within a dozen years the American Public Health Association has been welcomed with cordial greetings to hold its meetings on Canadian soil. It is significant of that inseparable bond of sympathy between those of kindred blood, and it is prophetic, too, of the time when the Union Jack of Her Gracious Majesty, and the Stars and Stripes of the American Union, shall be furled together, as the emblems of two great nations of the earth which stand, each pledged to the other, for the defense of human rights and universal peace.
