WILL FORM LEAGUE
Fight Against tuberculosis to Be
Actively Waged Here,
DR.. loNGsTRETH. WILL COME HERE
Dr.. Sponseller Takes Up the Work
In Berkeley County, and Will
Arrange For a Series Of Meet i
ings In Short Time.

DR.. G.. J. E. Sponseller, of this city
head of the Berkeley county board of
health, is In communication with Or.
Wallace Longstreth, of Charleston,
general field agent of the West Vir-
ginia Anti-Tuberculosis league, with
the object of securing Dr. Longstreth
for series of lectures on the sub
ject OF consumption in Berkeley coun-
ty, and also for the purpose Of or
ganizing branch of the Anti-Tuber-
culosis league in this city and coun-
ty.
DR.. Sponseller states that he ex-
poets to have DR.. Lonstreth here the
latter part of February or the first
Of March, and pending his arrival a
vigorous campaign in the interest of
the work will be inaugurated
Branches of the league are being or
ganized all over West Virginia, and
the local health officers believe that
an organization of this character
here will result in incalculable BEN
eft to those afflicted with the dread
disease.
The physicians at the head of the
league take the position that con ,
sumption Is not hereditary disease !;
that it is preventable, and that 1t can
be cured, If taken in time The work
along this fine In Maryland and Penn
sylvania would seem to offer indfspu-
table evidence that the premises Of
the West Virginia physicians are en-
tirely correct, and they are just now
engaged in prosecuting a campaign
in every section of the state that will
surely bear good fruit and attain
great results in the years to come
Statistics compiled by the physi-
clans interested in the work show
that consumption actually kills more
people in West Virginia than typhoid
fever diphtheria, whooping cough,
measles, scarlet fever and smallpox
combined, and that the death rate Is
greater between the ages OF 20 and
30 than at any other age.
1t is believed that an organization
OF this kind can be effected here, and
DR.. Sponseller is working actively
in the interest Of the movement.
