TUBERCULOSIS
PAPER READ BEFORE THE
TUBERCULOSIS EXHIBIT
AND THE PEOPLES
SUNDAY ALLIANCE.
BY DIR. j. H. p. WEsTBRooK.

In the hurried writing of this paper
beg your indulgence in any sugges-
tion it may give as to carelessness in
preparation You will also pardon me
if / do not use the words "phthisis"
or tuberculosis" but stick to the COM
mon name by which even the most ig-
norant understand it's meaning-con-
sumption. Consumption is the worst
enemy of the Negro. A disease that
kills almost one-half of the human
family with the Negroes percentage
rate looming up with such an alarming
toll, should be reason sufficiently
great for the warfare now being waged
against it.
The germ of consumption is one of
the smallest known, and very simple
looking in it's appearance, and attacks
any organ of the body, as lungs, throat,
the membranes of the brain, the bones,
kidneys, bladder, skin, liver, intestines
and lymphatic glands. Some organs
develop the disease more readily than
others, and some races will develop 1t
more quickly than others-the Negro,
for instance.
Before the Negro was freed, con-
sumption was an exceedingly rare dis
ease; while at the present time 1t is
the scourge of the race, and 1t is
alarming to relate that the percentage
is 1909 greater with the Negroes than
with the whites of this country today.
l have, in my office, some statistics
from the Health Department of the
City of Memphis, my former home, and
where the population is about half
white and half black. Let me quote
to you the record of September, 1907.
The death report from the six most
dreaded diseases in that city during
that month was as follows:
Measles, 2; scarlet fever, 10; diph-
liberia, 13; appendicitis, 10; whooping
cough, 35; typhoid fever, 45. Total
124. The deaths from consumption
alone, during the same month, were
265-the larger per cent, of which
were Negroes. Look at the statistics
as presented by the consumption ex-
hibit. showing the death rate of the
Negroes to be greater in every in
stance, conditions which at once look
grave and threaten the perpetuity OF
the race. And these statistics are pre-
sented to us by reliable and able
searchers after truth and all tend to
prove that the death rate of the Ne
gro is from two to seven times that
of any other race with the exception of
the Irish, whose death rate is about
two-thirds that of the colored people.
A comparison of the total population
emphasizes the seriousness of the con-
dition among our people. While the
millions, or 119o, of the whole popula-
ton, only five of the twelve nationali-
ties, England, Hungary, Scandinavia,
Poland, Germany, France, Bohemia,
Italy, in the United States are over
million in number.
The Germans number six and one
half millions, but their death rate Is
only one-third that of the colored race.
England, Canada and Scandinavia are
each a little less than two millions
with a death rate less than one-third
that of the Negro.
