TUBERCULOSIS INCREASING.
Nathan straus Tells Internatio nal
Medical Congress the Plague Is
Rapidly Gaining.

Budapest, Hun.-Nathan Straus, the
New York philanthropist, who on
Tuesday appealed to the International
Medical congress to stop the spread
ing of diseases that result from the
use of infected milk, has submitted
detailed figures to that body to prove
that tuberculosis, instead of being
conquered, is on the increase.
He cited the official vital statistics
Of New York City, which was credited
by DR.. Robert Koch with leading the
whole world in the fight against tuber.
culosis. He showed that the increas.
ing skill of the physicians in treating
tuberculosis had reduced the death
rate from this disease in proportion to
the population from 2.42 per 1000 in
1902 to 2.39 per 1000 in 1907, and 2.29
in 1908, but he showed that the mum.
Der of deaths from tuberculosis in
proportion to the total number of
deaths from all causes had increased
from 1904 per cent, in 1902 to 1890,
in 1908.
Mr.. Straus said:
"The population of New York has
increased rs per cent since 1902,
while the number of new cases of tn.
berculosis reported in year has in.
creased 100 per cent. Growth of the
city his added 932,291 to the popula.
ton, while the spread of tuberculosis
has added 144,172 to the army of con-
sumptives, until the vast resources of
the great metropolis are taxed to the
utmost to care for these victims Of
the great white plague.
