What do you know about salt? Today we 1 _ salt for granted, but
many years ago salt was scarce, it was used as money. African traders

came the word ‘salary’. In Great Britain four or five hundred years ago,
at the great feasts of the ruling families, the saler, or salt container, was

in the russian official bodies of public health services is both paid medicine, and free treatment accessible to all. the state as is necessary carries out the duties of care of all categories of citizens: " everything, as to fast and necessary medical aid, is free-of-charge and qualitative ", " stable financial support of the state " and " the rigid control above local officials ".in my opinion, it is most the best, disciplined system. at our country also there is a set of private(individual) health services (service) and in comparison with the social organizations, the small difference is shown. his(its) superiority first of all comes to light the factor of the responsibility, steadfast care and knowledge of doctors of the work, and certainly much depends on it.
