THE WAR dx TUBERCULOSIS.

Success Attends Effort to Prevent
Spread Of the Disease.
From American Medicine
The elaborate preparations which are be-
ing made for the British congress on tu-
berculosis, to be held in London, July q
to 26, again call attention to this import
ant subject, and lead us to ask what has
been accomplished by the worlds congress-
es and agitation of the past few years.
Any exact statement Is, Of course. out OF
the question, but judging from the records
OF cities, and OF states like Massachusetts
where mortality statistics are carefully
recorded and studied, 1t seems a eonserva-
tive estimate to say that tenth of the
population In civilized communities has
been saved by the measures adopted to
prevent the spread of tuberculosis. In
England. where the death rate from tuher-
culosls to the million inhabitants In 1870
was 2,4lO, there has been a reduction from
TINS cause of nearly one-half. Although
tnere may nave been some slight improve
important results have come from i'm
proved prophylactic measures. Sanitary
enactments and the growth of public SEN
.iheht against splitting In the streets and
IN pubic conVeyances have done great
good. Physicians have impressed their pa
aents with the necessity of disinfecting
or safely dfsposing of their expectations,
anu, tnousn many ignorant or careless per-
~O--S
precautions, most patients have come to
understand the danger to others and the
FISK OF relnfection to themselves. To some
extent even corporations are joining the
medlcal profession, the government and
the people in their war against tuberculo-
SIS. The Pullman Company has recently
taken measures for regular, thorough dis
injection of it's cars with formaldehyde, and
we are told that some hotels at resorts for
tuberculosis patients are adopting similar
measures. In the treatment of tuberculosis
me introduction Of fresh air treatment
with abundant nutrition and precautions
against infection has been brought into
prominence by the establishment of numer-
Gus sanatoriums. Many Of these only at
tract wealthy patients, but Massachusetts
mas again been the leader in giving poor
people an opportunity for proper treatment
at ITS great and successful sanatorium at
Rutland. Mass.
All OF these facts give evidence that
very satisfactory results have been OBJ
tanned All OF these Improvements in
comparatively short length of time make
certain sthl greater results in the future.
tuberculosis Is not disease that is limit
ca 10 the weak and unfit but like all con-
Ia .ag1ous diseases it has claimed many of
the strongest and best, both mentally and
physically. 1t is highly important that this
hght, with Its encouraging results, be kept
constantly before the profession and the
puoic and that every effort be made to
continue it.
