which have been made to stamp out dis
case and to guard against epidemics.
The great prosperity of some of the
Southern, States during recent years. aas
said, had been due to their protection
from yellow fever. which formerly oper-S
ated as q. serious barrier to industrial and
commercial progress. He j. said that
through persistent efforts Of the assoc
citation this and other exotic, pestllential
diseases have been practically stamped
Iom the United States. He digressedE
was written the present attack of yellow
fever IN Texas had developed, and de-
clared that he would not have believed
1t possible, with the associations present.
knowledge. that yellow fever would hava
been allowed to obtain a foothold there.
Somebody is responsible" he said. Ais
though cholera, yellow te> er and bubonios
nlaguc," he continued, are no longer
feared by santarians, we have not yet
conquered our epidemic filth disease, ry-
phoid fever, and tuberculosis still claims
nearly 10000 victims annually within the
limits of the United States. Uptil thesa
and other widely prevalent infectious DIS
eases are practically stamped out" hal
said, "our self-imposed task will not be
complete"

that bovine tuberculosis was o factor IN
