The house of delegates discussed
the following resolution offered by
Dr. Paul PaQIin, of Ashevillc, but no
definite action was taken concern
ing it:
.'Whereas. Tuberculosis in its vari-
Gus forms continue to undermine the
physical and mental strength of the
people, causing fully a seventh of all
deaths, and,
"Whereas. there is a lack of knowl-
edge on the part of the public as to
the dangers of infection in the home
and elsewhere and as to the best
means and ways to prevent it and pro-
tect the children, and the general
practitioner and family physician has
not the support of the people in his
sanitary efforts; and,
'1NhePeas. the public buildings, in
Guiding National, State and municipal
buildings; also churches, schools, the
atres, houses, stores, public convey
ances of all kinds, street walks, mar
kets and market supplies, etc, etc,
are among the most prolific sources
from which the germs of tuberculosis
and it's complications reach the hu-
man system; and,
.'Whereas. there is q lack of concert.
ed efforts, unity and system among
the medical fraternity in the work of
it's members to arrest the progress of
consumption.
'.Be it resolved. that a committee Of
five be appointed by and from the
members of North Carolina Medical
Society to be known as the Commit
Tee on Tuberculosis of the North Car
olina Medical Society," who shall have
tor duty the investigation Of the eX-
tent of tuberculosis in the State, the
investigation of professional, munich
pal county and State measures to pro-
tect the home, school and other points
from infection, to appoint if deemed
necessary. local subcommittee from
members of this Society in counties
and towns throughout the State to
aid in the work in such manner as
may seem fit and useful, to formu
late a report of their labors and re-
suits before the next meeting of this
Society and submit the same thereto
at that convention for action.
"ResOlved further. that every mem
Der of the committee and sub-commit-
tee shall serve without compensation,
but that a limited amount of money
not to exceed -- shall be apprO-
priated from the funds of the Society
to defray the expenses of necessary
stationary, postage, prints and litera-
ture and travel for meetings if such
should be found essential to accom-
plish the purpose of this movement.
'This appropriation is hereby au-
thorized and shall be paid on proper
vouchers of the committee within the
laws and rules of this Society,""
