FIGHTING THE WHITE PIAGITE.
The Maryland Association for the
prevention and Relief of Tuberculosis
seems to be fighting the plague in ali
directions, wherever it shows ITSELF A
disease which is preventable can. of
course, be prevented. But there must
be some agency to apply the means of
prevention, and the association is such
an agency, and an intelligent and
powerful one. One of the causes of
the spread of consumption is infected
dwellings. A consumptive patient co.
cupfes house and moves out or dies,
and another family moves in unaware
that death is lying in wait for them in
their new home. 1t is to rol1t death
out of the new home that the tuber-
culosis society has now addressed
itself. 1t has sent a letter to each real
estate and renting agency. in the city,
advising them that where a consump-
tive has occupied dwelling the law
requires its .disinfection.-Balti
