Delegates VIII be Sent to the Anti -Tnber-
cuIosis Convention in Philadelphia
Delaware, as in almost everything of
note that takes place throughout the
country, will be represented in the big
anti-tubercnlosis convention now being
arranged by prominent physicians from
all sections of the United States The
congress is to be held in Philadelphia
during the winter, and its object is to
devise systematic campaign against tu-
berculosis and the inroads this disease is
making on the people.
DIR. John ]. Black of New Castle, and
DIR. Albert Robin, both prominent men,
bers Of the Delaware Anti tuberculosis
Society and both recognized experts on
tuberculosis, will probably attend the
convention. 1t is expected that they will
there secure some ideas about the treat
ment Of the disease and the method Of
preventing its spread which will be put
in effect in this state, SO that Delaware
win derive as much benefit from the con-
gress as any other states
The sanatarium the local society is now
conducting in Brandywine hundred is
producing good results which far surpass
the fondest hopes Of the physicians who
worked so bard to have it instituted. So
many cures have been brought about
there and 50 rapidly has the reputation
Of the hospital spread throughout Della
ware that the number Of patients is rap
idly on the increase, and the capacity OF
the sanatarium will soon be reached.
