Medical relief was rendered by the Government and the public; the medical science was taught under four heads; the patient, the physician, the medicine and the recipe; as a preventive measure, propaganda on the regulation of diet was beautifully done. The evils of over feeding and underfeeding were taught under medical and health education.
The Government was very attentive in maintaining high ethical standard of life among the people. Valluvar bestows more of his thoughts upon the general morale of the public. The evils of the demoralizing elements like disrespect for the elements, infatuated sexual life, prostitution, intoxicating drinks and gambling were clearly pointed out and condemned. Importance of preserving the high traditions of the family and society, protecting the honour of the individual as well as the society, paying respect to the greatness of thought, word and deed of every member of the society, and safeguarding the nobility of conduct and courteousness was duly recognised.
