AYERS PILLS cure Indigestion and Headache
Cure for Consumption.

The New York health board has
made public what is probably one of
| the most important reports it has ever
received. 1t dealt with the prevalence
of consumption in this city and the
measures that should be adopted for
its prevention and cure.
1t states that there are now about
| 20, 900 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis
in the city; that from thirty to fifty in
| hebitants of New York daily become
| infected with the disease, one-half of
whom die, and that nearly all of this
suffering and death may be prevented
| by the application of scientific know
ledge and sanitary regulations
1t concludes by recommending the
| adoption of such measures as would en-
| able the board of health to fight the
deadly disease with the resources of
medical science, in the full assurance
that many thousands OF lives would
thus be saved every year. The most
important suggestion made is that
hospital be established of which the
board of health shall have charge, de-
voted solely to the cure of ption.
The report is signed by DR.. Hermann
NJ. Biggs, pathologist and director of
the archaeological labratory; DR.. T.
Mitchell Pruddeu, consulting physician.
and George B. Fowler, commissioner.
After reviewing what has been done
by the health department, with the linn
tied resources at its command to COM
bat the disease, the report is in part as
follows:
1--WE fully believe that with proper
regulations tuberculosis may be res
tricted within the narrowest bounds,
and eventually, perhaps, almost eX-
terminated. This is not the idle
dream OF sanitary enthusiasts or the
orists, but is a conviction founded up
on the most through and conclusive
experimental Investigation, which
have been amply confirmed by prac-
teal experience.
eve are convinced tina not other
factor is so potent today in perpetual
ing that omenous death list from pull
mOnary tuberculosis as the lack of
proper facilities for the care of the poor
of this stricken city with the malady.
There is no disease with which we
have to deal in which our knowledge
justifies more completely the convic-
ton that it is absolutely preventable,
and that it can be STAN ped out by the
efficient enforcement Of simple, well
understood and easily applied measures
of cleanliness, dislnfectlOn and lsola-
ton. These measures, furthermore,
involve no hardship to the individual,
and when we recall that. even with q
reduced death rate, nearly 900 persons
died during 1856 in this city from tuber-
culosis, the vital Importance of the
subject is evident -
The board recommends that tubercu
loSis be officially declared c0mmuni
cable disease: that Institutions admit
ting cases of it be subject t. regular
inspection, and that accom- mo1atiOns
be at once secured for poor patients
suffering from the disease.
