The Contagion Of Consumption,

The New York Health Department
is distributing a report on consump-
tion as a contagious disease which
deserves a wide reading. The follow
ing are therules to be observed for
the prevention of the spread of this
dread disease:
Pulmonary tuberculosis (consump.
tion) is directly communicatedfrom
one person to another. The germ
of the disease exists in the expector-
alton of persons afflicted with it.
The following extract from the re-
port of the pathologists of the
health department explains the
means by which the disease may be
transmitted. tuberculosis is COM
monty produced in the lungs (which
are the organs most frequently af-
fected) by breathing cir in which liv-
ing germs are suspended as dust.
The material which is coughed up
sometimes in large quantities, by
persons suffering from consumption,
contains these germs often in enor-
nous numbers.
This material, when expectorated,
frequently lodges in places where it
dries, as on the street, floors, car
pets, handkerchiefs, etc. After dry
ing in one way or another, it is very
apt to become pulverized and float
in the air as dust. By observing the
following rules the danger of Catching
the disease will be reduced to a
minimum:
1. Donot permit persons expected
to have consumption to spit on the
floor or on the cloths unless the lat
ter be Immediately burned. The
spittle of persons suspected to have
consumption should be caught in
earthen or glass dishes containing
the following solution: Corrosive
sublimate one parts, water 1000
parts.
2. Do not sleep in a room occupied
by a person suspected of having con-
sumption. The living-rooms of q
consumptive patient should have as
little furniture as practicable. Hang
ings should be especially avoided.
The use of carpets, rugs, etc., ought
always to be avoided.
B. Do not fail to wash thoroughly
the eating utensils Of q person sus.
pected ofhaving the consumption al
soon after eating as possible, using
boiling water for the purpose.
4. Do not mingle the unwashed
clothing of consumptive patients
with similar clothing of other per.
sons.
5. Do not fail to catch the bowel
discharges of consumpti7e patients
with diarrhea in a vessel containing
corrosive sublimate one part, water
1000 parts.
6. DO not fail to consult the fam
lily physician regarding the social re-
lations OF persone suffering from sus-
pected consumption.
z. Do not permit m Others suspect
ed OF having consumption to nurse
their offspring.
8. Household pets (animals OF
birds) are quite susceptible to tub
erculosis; therefore, do no expose
them to persons afflicted with con
sumption; also, do not keep. but de
stroy at once. all household pets sus
pected of having consumption, 9th
erwise they may give it to human be
ings.
8. Do not fail to thorough,
cleanse the floors, walls and ceiling,
of the living and sleeping-rooms o
persons suffering from consumption
at least once in two weeks.

Advice From Talmage,
Ministers, He Thinks, shoald Find New
Texts Instead Of Thrashing Over

Brooklyn, preached at Seattle, Sunday. His
text was Isaiah. XIV, IL: "Hs shall spread
forth his hands In the midst Of them, a. he
that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to

At this season Of the year multitudes Of
people wade into the ponds and lakes and
rivers and seas. At frat putting out cauti-
