THE TUBERCULOSIS QUESTION

One distressing feature of the tu-
oerculosis problem, says the Iowa
Health Bulletin. is that patients bring
hardships on themselves and others by
seeking climatic treatment without full
knowledge of conditions that await
hem. Thousands are leaving home
without adequate means of support and
ere becoming burdens on communities
which do not deserve the responsible
lily.
The Bulletin touches upon this mat
ter after receiving a warning from the
superintendent of associated charities
st Phoenix, Ariz., that tuberculosis pa
tents should not be sent to that place
without means, as the city was unwil-
ling and unable to provide them with
employment or sustenance. The Bulle-
tin advises physicians not to send pa
tients to other climates without a
warning of the stern conditions that
Will face them If they are without
means Of support.
Physicians are coming to agree that
II is frequently ill-advised to send a tu-
berculosis patient to a different eli
mate, especially when the disease has
progressed to dangerous degree. The
beneficial results of the milder eli
mates are that they afford the patient
a greater opportunity to remain out of
y doors But this same opportunity may
be had right at home.

A NEW DISEASE.

Abba citizens have become afflicted
With an ailment which is battling the
physicians, who have admitted they
can do nothing to check its spread.
The disease, according to reports from
Abba has grown almost into an cpl.
uemlc. one Of the Abba papers com
menting on the situation says:
A new disease has struck Abba and
It is called Ottumwaitis. 1t affects the
people by causing them to go to the
city on the east. What for. we don't
know. There were just forty tickets
sold from the Abba station to parties
who went to Ottumwa Saturday even
ing. Maybe that Ottumwa river water
has an attraction
Perhaps the order promulgated by
Judge Roberts last week closing all the
saloons in Abba and Monroe county
had something to do with spreading
the Ottumwaitis microbes.

him. For the sum of $40 he consented
to row us to the mainland, IL miles

my uncle had showed brains when he
