No two writers can agree upon what they mean by the phrase, or arrive at the same conclusions on the diseases to be included, while many take refuge in avoiding the subject altogether. The word disease is vague enough in itself. It is defined as a deviation from the standard of health in any of the functions or component materials of the body, but this is surely misleading, for we all experience countless deviations in function and component materials that do not constitute disease. Disease, says H. Campbell, is an abnormal mode of life. There is not much help here, for there are many abnormal modes of life that do not constitute disease.
