TuBERcuLosIs IN NEW Jersey.

HE movement for the proper treatment of
n tuberculosis is taking remarkable hold on
all parts OF the country Trenton is stirred by
the agitation. A noted physician speaking in
that city recently advocated the opening of the
Municipal Hospital Of Trenton for the treatment
OF the disease
New Jersey has made but little progress
against consumption. There were $500 deaths
from tuberculosis during the last year in New
Jersey, and the capital city Of that State has a
high death rate There are said to be as many
deaths from tuberculosis in Trenton as from all
other diseases combined When such an APP
palling prevalence of the white Plague" as this
is shown no wonder there is an attempt to Sc
cure remedy
The physician who spoke in Trenton, reiter-
ated the belief of those familiar with its treat
ment that tuberculosis is preventabe disease.
lie gave figures showing that by using preven-
tive measures deaths from tuberculosis have de-
creased forty per cent in this country during the
last twenty-five years
The speaker advocated as preventive mea-
sures the following WHICH cannot be too often
stated First the reporting of each case to the
proper authorities; second, the disnfection of
homes in which tuberculosis has existed third
tuberculosis dispensaries for those who are un-
able TO pay for treatment; fourth nurse to
visit patients at their homes fifth, medical in
specton of the schools and sixth. sanitorum
for durable cases and hospitals for advanced
cases
II is gratifying to know that Delaware has
taken a long step forward in combating tuber-
culosis. Various organizations are working in
harmony with the one object in view-that Of
