The Life of Florence Nightingale, vol. 2 of 2 by Sir Edward Tyas Cook

PART V

FOR THE HEALTH OF THE ARMY IN INDIA (1862-1865) The question is no less an one than this: How to create a public health department for India; how to bring a higher civilization into India. What a work, what a noble task for a Government--no "inglorious period of our dominion" that, but a most glorious one! That would be creating India anew. For God places His own power, His own life-giving laws in the hands of man. He permits man to create mankind by those laws, even as He permits man to destroy mankind by neglect of those laws.--FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE: _How People may live and not die in India_, 1864.
