70 the Clergy of Brunswick, In His

There has been an effort to have a

lion OF antituberculosis shall 6e dis
cussed. To tLis end | am asking that

This drca0 disease, - Significantly
termed The White Plague, is present
mongst us all Day by day mothers
| hearts are made sad as their sons and
daughters, doomed by this fearful NAL
ady sicken and fade away before
! their eyes. What are we doing in His
name to save the men and women OF
today, and thC children who will hn tho
| men and women of tomorrow, from,
this fearful enemy? 1t seems TO me
the time nas come for us to arouse
! to the sense of responsibility, the
/ time for united effort. that our united
effort may be brought to bear upon
the government of cities and the leg
islatureS Of the states in such a way
as will result in official interference
in the treatment of tuberculosis. Per
sCnal in1u 91ce combined with united
i've treatment Of crime and disease.
Will you not d. your part in helping
to prevent the increase of this disease
in our own neishborhOod and town
ship? In I'rion there is Strength
My plea for union of effort is author
lied by the best medical opinion.
Consumption is community disease
born of the lives of the people, and
its cure is community proposition
and must he born of the acts of tn >
people"
There is an alarming spread 0f this
disease among our colored people
These people serve us in our homes
have the care and nurture of our chli-
dren oftime and the family washing.

great a problem? In the name Of

helpI appeal Cr you that you will con-
slider this question. If ! can serve
you in any way it shall be my priv
! lege and pies sure. viii you notify me
