10000 VICTIMS YEARLY!

Stop and think of that fact moment.
In little country like England, includ-
ing Wales. a country which could be
swallowed up in it's entirety by one
single State ont of the 40 States of the
Union, there are more than 10000 pe0-
ple die every year of tuberculouS disease.
Nothing can speak for the deadliness
and insidiousneSs of that disease like
those plain figures. If sixty thousand
persons died each year of cholera i'll an
area no larger than that of the State
of Illinois, there would be an entire
exodus from the State. If every year,
unfailingly and unchangngly yellow
fever claimed 10000 victims in a similar
area, that territory would be utterly
forsaken.
But the death tribute to this mon
strous disease in the United States is no
less appalling. One-siXth of the deaths
annually occurring in this country are
attributed to consumption. 1t is the
one disease which has seemed to bid de-
fiance to doctors, and which continues
its ravages in the very glare of the
white light of scientific knowledge. In
commenting upon the work of other
nations in the effort to fight consump-
ton. Sir William Broadbent said, adj
dressing the chairman, the Prince of
Wales, "Your Royal Highness may
therefore well reproach us for tagging
behind Germany in a matter of so much
Importance. America also is i'll advance

AMERICA AHEAD.
The tribute paid to this country by
the eminent lecturer is deserved. The

widespread area covered by the disease.

ING problems connected with its cause
