Michigan, along with other states, is
going to receive credit for her part in
bringing about this happy state of af-
fairs.
Michigan's step in the direction OF
fighting tuberculosis was only taken
four years ago, when an act was
passed by the legislature appropriating
funds for the purchasing of a site and
equipping of a sanatorium for the care
and treatment of persons afflicted
with the dread disease. The time has
passed when the average physician
prescribes to his patient the seeking
of other climes for his betterment.

their homes to continue the sanatorium
treatment, with fair chance Of ultimate
arrest of the disease. Eight Of the
patients remained stationery, their con

and the unimproved, were treated a suf.
ficient time to fully share in the edu-
cational and preventive measures
which 4re so effectively taught in the
sanatorium regime.
while this institution offers only
a limited opportunity for the treat
ment of durable cases, it's educational
scope is not so restricted. Aside from
teaching every patient to become a
missionary in the cure and prevention
of tuberculosis, which he demonstrates
in a practical way to his neighbors on
his return home, the sanatorium pro-
notes also the early recognition Of
the disease, which is all-important,
since the durability of tuberculosis is
in proportion to its incipiency. The
difficulty of obtaining favorable and
early cases becomes apparent in the
record Of the sanatorium.
"Since the opening of the institution
only onethird of all patients sent as
incipient proved to be so, the remain.
ing two-thirds being moderate and adj
vanced cases, thus showing the neces-
sity for early recognition of the di.
sease by the profession and the public.
The degree of success of the institu-
ton in effecting cures will depend
upon the number Of incipient cases It
receives for treatment.
