The Secretary Of the Committee tolt
this morning about the development d
the tuberculosis clinics In the city
which he believes is one OF the lines
along which the campaign must be most
actively pushed.
Some three years ago." he said, "as
4 matter Of experiment, fund Of &c.,.
900 was put at the disposal OF the COM
mitfee to see what could be accom-
plished in the matter Of treating tuber-
culosis patients In their homes In New
York City. A subcommittee was APP
pointed TO have charge OF the actual
relief work, and one Of the first things
that they did was to unite on a cooper
alive basis the five clinics in the city
which had a special tuberculosis class.
The clinics which first came into this
compact were those OF the Health De-
partment, Bellevue. Gouverneur, Har-
lem and Presbyterian Hospitals,
Divided Into Districts.
They divided the city UP into dis.
tricts and agreed among themselves that
: they would only treat cases residing
within the district In which their clinic
was located. II was also agreed that
each OF these clinics and all others that
should afterward be admitted would
have a special class in which only tn.
berculosis patients are treated, and
nurse or trained visitor who would de.
vote her whole time to supervising the
homes Of the patients. In this way was
started what Is now known as the
Association OF Tuberculosis Clinics
probably the most far-reaching line OF
work that has been inaugurated,
The Seventeen Clinics.
