sumption made recently by eminent
New York Psychologists to the Board OF
Health of that city is of Importance not
only to the large number of people
afflicted with pulmonary tuberculosis,
but to the many constantly exposed to
states that it has been proved beyond a
doubt that living germ called the stu
bercle bacillus" is the only cause of tu-
berculosis, and that, though nearly one
half of the entire population at some
time in life acquires it, and that tuber-
cular animals are most common, the
disease is both prevenlable and durable.
Most important is the testimony which
declares that consumption is not an in
herited disease. As tuberculosis can be
caused only by the entrance of the germ
into the body, the frequent occurrence
of several cases in one family is explained
by the transmission of the germ after
birth directly from some affected indi-
vidual. Not only is the dust of the house
likely to contain the baclli, but the init
mate relation between parent and child
is especially favorable to transmission
by direct contact. There are two dan
gers to be guarded against, and proven.
ton resolves itself principally into the
avoidance of tubercular meat and milk
and the destruction of the discharges, es'
pecially the sputum of tubercular indi
viduals. 1t is of great Importance that
the rooms of patients in their homes and
hospitals should be thoroughly cleansed
and disinfected and that expectations
should be burned and not permitted tC
become pulverized and suspended as
dust. The report insists upon the ade
quate ventilation of theatres and Other
public places for the removal of the dan
gerous dust, and demands that steam
ship companies should be obliged to fur
nish separate compartments for con.
sumptive persons. The important meas
ures Of safety suggested are rigid officia
inspection of cattle, the immediate de-
struction of discharges from the lungs
and the careful disinfection of roomt
that are occupied or have been occupied
by consumptive patients.
Modern science has not accomplished
more than in its understanding of con.
sumption, made possible by DR.. Koch;
discovery of the germ in 1882. Its
authoritative suggestions will at the
same time remove the mysterious dread
of the disease and increase carefulness
The report makes incessant watchful
ness public duty.-The Boston Journal
