That consumption is largely a house disease. and must be dealt with as such.
 2. That 1t is, for the greater part. due to careless splitting, which must be stopped
 3. That the disease is curable if taken in time--nOt by removal to a fa- vorable climate, but at home.
 4. That the treatment of consump tion is not alcohol, is not drugs or pat ent medicines. but is fresh air. rest, food.
 Of still greater value in the long run than lectures is the use of circulars of instruction distributed at the time of the lectures and through other agen- cies. such as churches. public schools.
 
 like. The most efficient single means of distribution is the public and par ochiaI schools. the authorities of which, within our experience, have shown great willingness to assist in the good work. In population of approximate ly 60,0OO We were able to distribute. through these agencies, between 12.000 and l5,O00 circulars in a single year. These were printed in English. Italian. Polish. German. Slovak, and Yiddish. As to the text, we made a collection of some fifteen circulars from various parts of the country. and after com- pairing. eliminating. and, as We thought. improving upon them. We completed circular which was translated into the various languages mentioned. Printed in two colors, so as to emphasize the salient points. they presented fairly attractive appearance. and no doubt did much good. They preached Fresh Air. day and night. Rest. as much as can be had. Food. as much as can be taken. They also urged the importance of the early recognition of the disease.
 Casting about for some other way of appealing to the people we hit last year upon the advertising lantern idea. and, having secured a suitable plant. we ran a lantern with scenes from Switzerland. a trip to Paris. the Rocky Mountains. the Colorado river. etc. al- ternating with tuberculosis aphorisms. Our board of education kindly lent us the views. and we prepared a set of tuberculosis slides which embodied the essentials of our subject.
 ion q brought to the attention of this asso- citation at its last annual meeting. but for want of space the text of our slides was omitted from the published trans actions. I believe SO thoroughly in this method of education that am going to give you the text of the slides in this paper. I believe that through lantern exhibitions We reach more of the peo- pie we want most to reach than through the use of circulars of instruc- tion. Many people will not read cir culars and papers. but they will look at pictures. The snowman realizes this so does the professional advertiser. Now. if We present an attractive series of pictures and introduce in the course of showing them, few sentences here and there. containing in the briefest possible terms what We have to teach. we shall certainly reach these people. They learn without realizing they are learning and without making any ef- fort to learn. The slides read as fol- lows:
 1. Consumption causes more deaths than any other disease. Nearly one third of all the people who die between twenty and forty-five years of age die of consumption.
 2. If you want to know how to pro- tect yourself and family from con- sumption. take time to read these bull letins.
 3. Consumption attacks especially those who live i- crowded or badly ventilated rooms.
 4. Consumption is caused by the poison present in the consumptive's spit. The poisonous spit dries and goes as dust into other peoples lungs.
 3. A little poisonous spit, when scattered .r dust. .s enough to affect dozens of people. People who spit on the floors of their homes spread the disease.
 6. Consumption is caused by the dust from dry spit. Workmen who spit
