Consumption and Contagion.


The health department Of New York
city 10 studying with much care the
problem Of the prevention Of phthisis
through destruction Of its injecting agent,
the bacillus. 1t ID, in particular, direct
ing its efforts to the more crowded portions of
the city where the danger of infect On is great
est The exact mode of attack upon the bacillus
has not, We believe, been fully decided upon,
although some preliminary steps have been
arisen, we take it, is ~ TO the advisability of
chasing tuberculosis with the CONTAGIOUS dis
eases that are nov reported to the health de-
partment, and requiring that it be similarly re-
ported The advantages of this step would be
that it would educate both physician and pub
lie 10 the view that phthisis is infectious, and
would impress upon both the fact of the
necessity Of using disinfection In connection
with it treatment
On the other hand IL might needlessiy alarm
the public and perhaps add unnecessarily TO
the discomfort and suffering of the patiepts.
We doubt very much, also, II the medical pro-
fession would cooperate heartily in notifca-
ton, except - regards hospital and dispensary
patients
Despite some disadvantages, however. We be-
ieve that trial 81 least Of the notification plsn
might be made. In promuigating and practi-
cslly enforcing the view that PULMONARY
phthisis b . contagious disease, however, most
careful and explicit statements should be made
- TO what il meant BY this contagiousnese- n
should be shown that the disease Is not con-
tagious in the popular ssnse ct all, /. e.. com
mnntcated By contact, or the breath, but ONLY
~ the nedlun Of the Putum.
