THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
A Brief History of the Disease.
BY DR. MONTGOMERY E.
I.EARY,


Consumption is called a disease
of the masses because of its
great prevalence among all class
es Of people. The first records
of 1t date back to the fifth cen
fury before Christ, or about
$500 years ago.
In 1865 Villimin. French ply
sician. demonstrated beyond
doubt that tuberculosis conld be
transmitted from one individual
to another. This was verified
by other famous physicians. I'M
til the disease was generally
branded as infectious. In 1882
the specific germ which causes
consumption was discovered by
the great German scientist Rob-
ert Koch.
Researches In recent years
have demonstrated that con-
sumption. also many other forms
Of tuberculosis, may not only be
prevented. but can in many
cases be arrested and lastingly
cured. Governments have taken
measures to suppress the scourge.
but their efforts have not been
wholly successful owing to the
lassitude and carelessness of the
people.
