Tuberculosis Exhibit

The tuberculosis exhibit prepared by
the State Board of Health was at the
town hall Monday and Tuesday. The
purpose of the exhibit is to give to the
people an idea of what the disease
consumption is, how it is caused, how
it is carried from one to another, and
the best methods of prevention and of
cure. This disease, known for over
two thousand years, has been causing
death every three minutes in this
country, yet it is preventable and often
durable, and its prevalence and deadli-
ness are largely due to the ignorance
and carelessness of its victims.
In the exhibit are models of sanitary
and unsantayy bedrooms, of sleeping
porches and tents, together with charts,
maps and banners illustrating various
phases of the disease. This exhibit is
but one of so or go that are carrying on
this work in different states, and is but
small part of a worldwide movement
looking toward better living, and the
prevention of preventable diseases.
The Vermont exhibit has this year visit
ed q different towns, and has aroused
considerable interest throughout the
State. That people here We're interest
ed was evident from the number of peo-
pie attending the exhibit and the even
ing lectures, as the hall was well filled
each evening, while over 600 people
visited the exhibit during the two days.
There was a lecture each evening:
Monday, by DR.. Buttles of the State
Laboratory at Burlington, Tuesday by
DR.. Holton of Brattleboro, the secre-
tary of the State Board of Health.
StereOptican Illustrations were used
with the lectures.
The disease of tuberculosis. or CON
sumption is caused by germs, that are
present in the sputum of people afiiict-
ed, and which are scattered by careless
splitting, by public drinking cups, by
/ flies, or by infected milk from disceas-
ed cows. Destruction of sputum of
consumptives, anticipating laws, test
ing of cows, and similar methods will
stop the spread of the disease. There
! is no medicine that will cure it, but ma
ture can do so, and fresh air. dav and
night, good food in proper quantities,
and rest are the remedies that will
often overcome and cure tuberculosis,
as well as many other diseases. Sana-
forum treatment is advised where pos
sible, as closer oversight of the patient
is obtained there, but it is not absolute
ly essential, and home treatment is of.
