Ozarowitz George, Who Died of Tuber-
c%ulosis, Leaves a Fortune to Benefit
Humankind in Future.
(St. Louis Republic.)

Almost the last act performed by the
late Czarowitz George, who died last
Monday of consumption, after a long
and terrible suffering, was to appro-
pirate 10, 900 roubles for the publication
of a set of rules and regulations for the
benefit of consumptives.
Some ten days ago he called Naval
Lieutenant G. A. Boissmann, his ad-
~jutant, to his bedside in the castle of
Atbas Tuman, Caucasus, where he had
been established for the last year.
George Alexandrovitch," he said, send
this paper to the Imperial Publication
Office. Order 1000, 900 copies to be
printed and distributed among all the
governments of Russia. One shall be
hung up in each townhouse, city hall,
church, chapel, railway station and in
every other place of public resort, and
the elders, councllmen and Hetmen
must be asked to read the paper once a
week to those unable to read them
selves.
''In my cabinet you will find a draft
for 10, 900 roubles on the administrator
of Apanages in st. Petersburg. This l
am informed, will suffice for the print
ing.
s.In my will 1 have set aside a sum
that will pay for the publication of these
rules in more permanent form-enamel
On iron shields, but we can't wait for
that. Delay may mean loss OF life to
many"
'If some minute tuberculosis bacilli
crept into their systems while waiting
upon me, or amusing me-" he used to
say, sit must be expelled by the quick
est possible method.
The rules which the Czarowitz left be-
hind him as a legacy for other sufferers
are as follows:
Remember that everything calculated
to tax a persons physical strength be-
yond the average has a tendency to de.
velop the seeds of consumption that
may be in the system. If consumption
has already beg n its ravages, each act
of overstraining tends to increase the
danger.
Remember that personal intercourse
between consumptives and healthy
people does more to spread the disease
than any other agency.
Remember that squalid surroundings,
narrow, dirty living rooms, hard labor
and cares generally have a tendency to
develop consumption.
Remember that a husband inclining
to consumption is very liable to become
a physical wreck through marriage,
while collaborating and other motherly
duties may develop consumption in a
girl having the seeds of tuberculosis in
bnr ovctavn TT tho Iicnocn bac nnri-
tested itself before marriage, marital
relations will increase its ravages.
In nine cases out of ten the con-
sumptive husband will make his wife u
co-sufferer and vice versa; very fire.
quently the children are also affected
and sometimes the servants and others
living in the family.
No consumptives should marry during
the period when the lungs are affected.
Permission to marry should be with
held for two years after the above symp-
toms have ceased.
Furthermore, each afflicted person
should have his or her own bed, towels,
knives and forks, etc.
The body and other linen of the con-
sumptive should not be put in the gen.
efdl WASH Unless previously ulSinleCteu.
Disinfecting Of his or her bed, bedroom,
clothes, books, ETC., is likewise impera-
tive once per week.
For a consumptive to neglect bodily
cleanliness is nothing short of crime.
Daily baths or washings from head to
foot must never be dispensed with under
any circumstances.
{. The home of a consumptive, be it ever
so poor, should offer free access to light
and air. The more sun the better. Per-
sons forced to live with consumptives
have themselves to protect-by frequent
washing and baths. Children of con-
sumptives should be taught the virtue of
cleanliness at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
If these measures are carried out in
all particulars the consumptive husband
or wife will be largely benefited in body
and mind, and several years will be
added to their lives, while their children,
servants and companions will be safe
guarded against infection as far as that
is possible.
