Sociological Disease.
But besides hygienic laws there are
other factors which, aiming to better
the living conditions of the laboring
classes, necessarily help also in the
combat against tuberculosis, for no one
today disputes the fact that tubercu-
losis is a sociological disease, an
assessment, as 1t were, paid to the en-
vironment of physiological and moral
misery. 1t is essential, therefore, to at
tack the conditions pertaining to this
state Of misery. In no other country
is duty to humanity as well understood
as In the United States, and nowhere
has 1t called forth a more generous in
itiative. In no other country is the dig
nifty Of humanity so highly respected
and the individual SO effectually sue
cored. Everything is done to disarm
the worst eventualities of fortune and
help the wretched. / have felt myself
drawn into this humane contest from

culosis. would give New York fresh air
cures.

simple than to make known what l
