THE NEW TUBERCULOSIS.
Ascribed to Drink.

Deaths due to the great white plague
In France have reached most alarming
proportions. official reports showing
that In that country 10000 perscns
die from tuberculosis each year; among
workingmen the mortality from this
cause amounting to over 30 per cent.
Bakers and laundry workers seem most
prone to this disease, it being stated
that of the 1000 bakers in Paris 24,OOO
suffer therefrom, while OF the laundry
workers rs per cent are afflicted.
In this conection an eminent French
scientist and member of the Academy
Of Medicine states that the abuse Of
spirituous liquors is responsible for q
new form of tuberculosis, which, he
states. in the case of hard drinker
developes at the top Of the right lung
toward the back, whereas ordinary
cases develop first at the top Of the
right lung toward the front. It is the
flrst-mentioned development that is now
oftenest found in France. This high
authority further declares that any
hope of preventing the spread of tu-
berculosis is futile until the spread of
alcoholism is checked.
Statistics show that from 335,0OO
wine shops in France in 1889, the num-
Der has increased to 475,OOO, while the
