/ in this city. No more favorable field
for organized effort against the disease
could be desired. If these results could
be achieved through general sanitary
| improvement only it is not too much to
expect that the white Plague" may
be entirely suppressed in this favored
city by thespecific agencies proposed to
be employed.
The only specific measures heretofore
attempted in Chicago have been efforts
to educate the public by circulars of
instruction concerning the cause of and
the methods of preventing the disease,
and more or less abortive attempts to
secure the enforcement of an ordinance
expectorating in public places
OF the circulars it may not be i'm
proper to say that, so far as is known,
they were the first ever issued (July
1880 by any Health Department in this
country; that they were at first re-
garded askance as too radical in some
of the assertions made; and that they
We're openly attacked by some repre-
sentativcs of life insurance interests as
being entirely too optimistic.
Concerning this latter feature the
language of a leading life actuary at a
congress on the subject in 1903, may be
quoted; The modern popular substi-
tuition of hope for the ancient attitude
of despair in relation to consumption is
having and will continue to have a far
reaching influence on the manner in
which life insurance offices deal with
the disease"
Regarding the assertions in the cir
cular that consumption is contagious
catching" disease-and that for all
practical purposes II is not hereditary,
both of which were deemed by many
critics as not well founded at that time,
DR.. Osler furnishes the sufficient reply.
while the demonstration of the con-
tagiousness of tuberculosis has in some
quarters intensified the dread with the
disease is regarded, the terrible Ate of
hereditary transmission has been in
great part abolished, to the great gain
of suffering humanity"
This is the message of hope which
the Chicago Health Department is glad
to be able to bear to the consumptive
and the rest OF mankind.

are very emphatic in declaring that
