the executive secretary. DR.. Livingston
Farrand, showing the growth of the

for the prevention of consumption has
increased from 600 to over 1926; the
number of sanatoria and hospitals for
the treatment of tuberculosis is from
29S to 400: and the special tuberculosis
dispensares from 222 to 265. During
the year 1909, thirty-six out of forty
three legislatures in session con-
sidered the subject of tuberculosis.
and in %, bills were passed for the
prevention or treatment of this dis.
