THE FORCE OF HABIT

is strong With us. We are 50 accuS-
toned To the world wide prevalence of
consumption that We accept it practi
cally AS a necessary evil. If some
strange disease We're to break out, and
destroy human life to the same extent
as does consumption. such disease
would be looked upon as an appalling
plague. Quarantine would be estab
lished against it, and days of fasting
ana prayer appointed by the churches
for the mitigation of the disease. Hut
We accept consumption as inevitable
because Of its familiarity.
How true this is may be judged from
& recent report of Sanitary officer
Gorgas, of Havana, cuba. 1t has been
cahled to the United States that vel
low fever was epidemic in Have ma.
DIR. Gorgas answered that there Is no
epidemic. He says: In the past
month there We're - deaths from con-
sumption and - from yellow fever.
yellow fever therefore should not be
considered epidemic more than con-
SUMPTION
What light that throws on our &C
ceptanoe of consumption, A scare
cry is raised that yellow fever is cpl
demic because Of - deaths in one
month. Not a word was said as to
consumption which in the same month
claimed II victims. or over 81 per
cent. more than died Of yellow fever.
The great question is: Why is con
sumption SO wide spread? The an
swer is found in the general neglect Of
diseases which if neglected or I'M
skilfullv treated find a fatal terminal
ton in consumption.
