Expectoration Is a Crime.

DR.. Paul Gibier, high scientific au-
thority, says: IF this habit of ex-
pectoration in public could be stopped
1 am sure that in time tuberculosis
would die out altogether. This seems
a very sweeping statement, but it is
not an ill-considered one. There is no
question in my mind that the spread
of tuberculosis is due largely to the
habit of splitting. A great many people
have tuberculosis without being aware
of the fact. They do not know of the
danger that comes from ejecting the
sputum where it becomes dry and pull
verified and then flies about in minute
particles, to be inhaled by healthy per
sons, who are thus inoculated with the
disease. This random public expectora-
ton is crime
