-Four Thousand Consu ptives
Starve Yearly.

Cruel and inhuman practices are al
legged in statement given out to-day
by the National Association for ths
study and prevention of Tuberculosis
against the eastern doctors who pre-
sist in sending dying cases of consump-
ton to the Southwest.
Fully 7,1S0 persons hopelessly diseas-
ed with tuberculosis annually come to
die in the states of California. Arizona.
New Mexico, Texas and Colorado, most
of them by order of their physicians.
The statement, which is based upon the
testimony of well-known experts, and all
available statistics, show that at least
81 per cent of those who go to the
Southwest every year for their health
are so far advanced in their disease.
that they cannot hope for a cure in acy
climate, under any circumstances.
More than this, at least 60 per cent. Of
these advanced cases are so poor that
they have not sufficient means to pro-
VIDE for the proper necessaries of life,
which means that 4,315 consumptives
are either starved to death, or forced to
accept charitable relief every year.
1t is not an uncommon thing, the Na-
tional Association declares, for Who'll
families, who can hardly exc out a iv-
ing in the East, to migrate to the West
in the hope of saving the life of some
member of the family. In most in
stances, the abject poverty of such
cases forces them to beg, or to live on
very low level. Often consumptives
who cannot afford the proper travelling
Accommodations are found dead on the
trains before reaching their destination.
The resources of almost every chart-
able organization in the Southwest are
drained every year to care for cases
which would be self-supporting in their
! Eastern homes.
! III cost, on an average, at least $50
per month for the support of consuUp-
tive in the Southwest, including medical
attention. The National Association
strongly urges no one to go to this sec
ton who has not sufficient funds to care
for himself at least one year, in acdi-
ton to what his family might require
of him during this time. 1t also urged
that no persons who are far advanced
with tuberculosis go to so distant a eli
mate.
Consumption can be cured, or ARE It
ed in any section of the United States.
and the percentage of cures in the East
and the West is nearly the same Any
physician, therefore, who sends a rer-
son to the Southwest without sufficient
funds, or in an advanced or dying stage
of the disease, is guilty of cruelty to
his patient Renewed efforts are being
made to stop this practice, and to -
courage the building of small local hos
, country. Attempts are also being
made in Southern California and in
Texas to exclude INDECENT consumptives
or to send them back East.
