CIimate nnd Consnmnfion.

A German physician writing upon
the geographical distribution of disease
considers that consumption is emphati-
calIy a disease of all times, all coun-
tries, and all races. It days the steps
of man wherever he may be found and
claims its victims among every age and
class, but the mortality Of ph6hisis is
relatively large in the large centers of
population, showing that impure air
and bad hygiene are as potent factors
as hereditary predispOsitiOn. Among
nOmad tribes 1t is rare, but where such
tribes settle in towns, they offer the
usual number of victims. Statistics
show that it is very virulent in many
warm countries, as much so in sunny
Italy or fOggy England. It's rarer to-
ward the poles and the higher Alps,
the Andes, and the elevated plateauX
of Mexico, approximate, though prob
ably never quite attain to conditions of
absolute immunity. The protective in
fuence of high altitude often sUfices to
cOunteract other influences which favor
the disease, but everywhere the main
factor in its production is Over-crOwd-
ing and bad hygiene. Dampness con-
joined with frequent oscillations Of
temperature predisPOses to the disease,
and humidity of the air is less unfavOr-
able than dampness of soil An Ameri-
can physician writing upon the indu-
ence of climate in cOnsumptive affec-
tons, remarks that every new section
of the American continent that pos
sessed any climatic advantages has had
a period Of favor with the climate hunt
ers, but as civilization extends and the
new regions become more populated
their reputation for benefit in this class
of cases vanishes. This the writer at
tributes to the fact that it is not climate
alone, but more particularly the mode
of life that has to do with the improve
ment in cases of lung disease than
| change of abode, but as the comforts
and Injuries of civilization are intro
duced, people are more tempted to live
| indoors, and the advantages of climate
are lost upon them. It is also believed
/ by many writer's that the sputa Of con
sumptives in time poisons the soil
where consumptive individuals congre-
gate. Desirable climates in general
are those which admit of or are con-
/ ductive to outdoor life and exercise. -
