getic work of the health boards in many
of the states, and the establishment OF
ape cial sanataria for the management OF
ttis disease. By the simple precaution
of destroying by fire the expectoration
from the lungs of diseased persons, the
active source of danger is at once abso-
lutely destroyed.
The dryness of the atmosphere, and
the almost constant direct and powerful
rays of the sun in New Mexico, reduce
the danger of contaglon to minimum,
and, as numerous and scientific experts

of germ life, there need be no apprehen-
sion, under such climatic conditions as
exist here, of a spread of this or any other
disease communicated from the diseased
to the healthy through the medium of the
atmosphere.
The states of New York and Pennsyl-
vania have now in process of erection
special sanataria fol consumptives, and
many other states will, no donbt, soon
follow this excellent and intelligent
example. Continuing the doctor said:
