1he IuhercuIosis conaress.

Few things which mark the modern
progress of civilization have advanced
so rapidly as knowledge of the nature
and durability 'of tuberculosis. The
decision of physicians that the disease
is not hereditary has lifted a burden
of dread from thousands of hearts, and
the success of methods of treatment in
the early stages of the disease has
brought hope to thousands of others.
But far more important than this has
been, and will be. the work Of bringing
about an understanding of the dangers
of the disease and impressing the ne
cessity of precautions. From Septem-
ber 2I to October - the United States
will be the host of the international
congress on tuberculosis, which is TO
meet In Washington. Mr.. Roosevelt
has lately accepted the presidency OF
the congress. The occasion will un-
doubtedly be the most important event
that has yet occurred in the fight
against the dread disease. The con
vention will bring together the most
noted experts of the world. and meth
DDS of treatment and prevention which
have shown the best results Will be
illustrated. It will be as interesting
TO the layman as to the physician. for
