Occupation and tuberculosis.

The influence of occupation as a
cause Of consumption is shown by DR..
]. M. French in the Medical Exam
liner.
AT least four classes of employ
ments ments have tendency to favor
the development of tuberculosis.
They are:
1. Sedentary employments In i'll
ventilated apartments. involving con-
fnement in impure air, and other I'M
wholesome conditions. This class of
occupations is typified by the So
called swet-shops for the manufacture
of various articles Of clothing.
q Employments which necessitates
the inhalation of irritating dust and
noxious vapors. Such are those of
stone-cutters, bleachers, matchmak.
ers. file-cutters, grinders, engravers.
etc.
3. Employments which involve the
overuse or abuse Of certain muscles.
These are athletes, prize fighters.
gymnasts, wrestlers. professional BIZ
cycle riders, ball players, ETC.. large
proportion of whom die eventually of
phthisis.
4. Employments which involve I'M
due familiarity with intoxicants.
These are those connected with man
ufacture and sale of wine. beer and
the various classes of alcoholics.
Tatham's tables show that, taking the
average mortality from consumption
at one hundred. that of publicans is
one hundred and forty, OF brewers one
hundred and forty-eight and of bar
tenders two hundred and fifty-seven.
Overcoming Hereditary tuberculosis.
Much is being said nowadays re-
specting the out-of-door treatment of
tuberculosis, a disease which. while
rarely directly transmissible by hered-
ity, is one the predisposition to which
is in the highest degree hereditary.
1t has been clearly shown by numer-
GUS experiments in various parts of
the United States that out-Ofdoor life
with regular hygienic habits, ire
spective of altitude or special climat-
ic advantages. is capable of so aiding
the natural powers of the body as to
effect cure of this formidable mall
ady without the use of drugs of any
sort.
tuberculosis is a disease of clviliza-
ton. 1t scarcely exists among saw
ages who live in the primitive state,
but quickly appears among such peo-
pie when the habits of civilization are
adopted. especially the indoor life.
The South American monkey and the
North American Indian alike fall vic
tins to this disease when shut away
from the sunlight and active exercise
out of doors.
The time is not far distant when
every large city will find it necessary
