Abstract
This paper is the result of several years of analysis and discussion. It summarizes the careful record kept by the author of the serious illnesses of his patients among a community of approximately 10 000 Apache Indians living on a remote reservation. By comparing the data he recorded with the data recorded by British physicians with somewhat similar practice registers (the most closely comparable data available), the author reaches certain views of the relationship between certain life experiences (stress) and the health status (illness) of individuals.
Keywords: Native health, stress, illness
