Infancy and youth are plastic. Both body and mind are susceptible to
surrounding influences. If the heredity is unfavorable it can be largely
modified by favorable environments. If a child is born of unhealthy

born of healthy parents that is improperly cared for will become ill and
perhaps die young.
