II Consumption Contagious

Il is surprising to some American VI
itors to European hospitals to find that
eonsumptive patients are kept In de-
rartment by themselves, while the same
care for separating is not exhibited in
regard to diseases deemed more conts-
9do,ls on this side OF the ocean. Yet the
conviction that pulmonary diseases are
infectious is gaining strength among
American physicians, and it is . note
worthy fact that the fathers Of medicine,
Hippocrates and Galen, inclined strong
~ to that opinion. The same belief has
been entertained all along by many
prominent psychologists and anatomists.
Consumption often arises from eating OF
The meat of animals with diseased lungs.
and actual experiment has shown that
when different animals have been fed on
the diseased lungs of COW. they have been
attacked by pulmonary disease. A rig.
ID supervision of all meats sold, and .
thorough system Of ventilation in hous-
~, and especially in hospitals where
consumptives are treated, seem to be
the best preventives against the 40
quirement and communication Of the
aAlady.
