of the governor general to discuss meas
ures for the prevention of tuberculosis.
Eminent members of the medical profess

ings. Lord Mimic opened the confer

Grant, chairman; Sir William Kings

agriculture; DR.. Roddick, member of
parliament, and other prominent Cana

for combating the ravageS of the com
mon enemy He was told that ten years
ago the annual deaths from consump-
ton in Ontario were 2,400; in 1899, they

not a hereditary germ. IF it is he
said, 1--WE may simply fold our arms
and lie down and die He declared
that for the consolation of those who
could not afford it, a change of eli

to Florida OF Colorado to die away from
home
DR.. Cuerin, of Quebec. saids IAN doc

the fresh air and Gods sun are the
great curative agents, and these can be
had anywhere. Sanitariuns should be
located so that poor men would not
have to send members of their families

DR.. ROddick favored cremation in the
case of death from all contagious dis
eases, and said it should be insisted on
by law in case of tuberculosis
Several resolutions We're adopted to
prevent the spread of tuberculosis. Leg
