<blockquote><a href="http://quotationsbook.com/quote/19953/">Hygiene is the corruption of medicine by morality.

The true aim of medicine is not to make men virtuous; it is to safeguard and rescue them from the consequences of their vices.</a></blockquote><br> <a href="http://quotationsbook.com/quotes/author/4937/">Mencken, H.
