Biliary tract disease associated with calculi (gallstones) causes much disability and shortening or curtailment of life. At present there is insufficient knowledge to prevent the occurrence or development of gallstones. With the accomplishments of recent decades in preventing such diseases as typhoid fever, tetanus and poliomyelitis, and the control of
