ed to produce the disease. From this
experiment, vaccination, one of the
worlds greatest Blooms. has been Civ
en- US: and by it, the terrors of small
pox and all the fearful consequences
have been conquered. In some coun-
tries where the disease has been so
prevalent, compulsory vaccination has
been enforced. and small pox is no
longer known there. This is partic-
ularly true in Germany and Sweden.
Typhoid fever could with equal ease
be eliminated. By improved SANTA
ton, the conditions requisite for the
propagation CT the germ of typhoid
fever can be removed, and by protect
ing our people with Anti-typhoid vac
cine, the disease could soon be stamp
ed out CT existence. Improved san
itation and hygiene will also curtail
the number of cases of scarlet fever,
d~iphtheria, malaria. and in fact all of
the ~preventable diseases. These dis
eases have been properly termed
filth diseases" for the conditions out
side of the human body which are nee
essary for the propagation of the
germs which cause them, are found
only in dirty and filthy places. If we
keep our places free from filth and
.decomposing organic matter, then the
home of disease germs would be de-
stroyed, and soon there would be no
more germ diseases.
But 1 wish particularly to call your
attention to the most wide spread of
all diseases TUBERCULOSIS; or as
it is mor generally known, Cons
SUMPTION. To the scientist there is
a distinct difference in the meaning of
the two words. but by the Iay-wcSld
they are used spontaneously. Tuber-|
culosis is a single specific disease,
while consumption is tuberculosis

We define tuberculosis as being a

THE UNIVERSAL WAR,

For centuries the scientific world
has been vigorously active n an en-
deavor to control disease; and to
eventually eliminate the diseases
which are known to be communicable
and preventable. One does not have

means of prevention.
With the advancement of civiliza-
ton and higher knowledge, a num-
her OF fearful diseases which have in
the past attacked nations in severe
endemic form, have yielded to the.
onslaughts of the army of scientists
who have been devoting their lives to
a study CT the subject. The forts and
Notifications which have been thrown
up by this army of students, have been
knowledge acquired by scientific re-
search an observations. With big
guns" like Koch, Pastuer, Jenner, Won
Behring, Hafkin, Trudeau, Ehrlich
and others, they have shelled the
camps of disease with bombs of i'm
proved sanitation, hygiene and RENE
dial agents, and have wrought havoc
in their ranks.
Some of you may recall the fearful
epidemics of small pox that have at
tackled our people in different &c
tons of the United States, when com
munities have become decimated by
that one time fearful disease. Some
of you may be advised as to the cpl
denies of that disease in other coun-
tries in past years. But small pox nc
longer terrifies us as it once did. We
still have it in many communities, iso-
lated cases; and because of its highly
contagious nature, we still quaran-
tine against it. But it is now mild in
its attack, death from it being so rare
that the medical profession has come
to look upon it lightly from the stand
point of it's being a fatal disease.
On the 18th day of May, 1896, Jen-
ner took from the hand CT a dairy
maid, some matter from a COW pox
pustule; and with it. he inocculated
the arm of a boy, James Phipps by
name, believing it would protect
against small pox. July 1st, 1896, he

body. 1t is eliminated from the body
of the person suffering from the dis
ease. chiefly by the sputum coughed
up from the lungs. In some cases, we
also find it in the discharges from the
bowel, the kidneys, and in pus from
t~uberculous assesses.
We define consumption as being a
complication of diseases. 1t is tub
e%rculosis upon which has been en-
grated one or more other diseases.
Here we have the tubercular areas at
tackled by or more of the tpus
forming germs, by the typhoid germ,
the germs of pneumonia OF the bacil-
lus of Influenza. From this, you read
lily see that we have a complication CT
diseases.
In 1882, Prof. Robert Koch, a Ger
mar health officer, discovered andede-
monstrated the cause of tuberculosis.
Until then, it has been theoretical as
to the true cause Numerous and
many theories were advanced even
from the days of Hippocrates, who
lived in the 4th century before Christ.
Until Koch's discovery, Inheritance
was strongly advocated by the scien-
CA44O SFCb1A0 OHOh-L OAdJ 1ldAI D1ly-
sicians who are not close students of
the disease, still hold to the theory of
heridity in tuberculosis. While the
spcial students of tuberculosis reccg-
nize that in a few rare instances tu-
berculosis has been inherited, yet
there are SO few instances of it that
it is not entitled to very much con-
s~ideration. What we must consider
most in regard to inheritance and tu-
bercu+Csis is the possible predispo-
sition which the child may inherit from
the ~tuberculous parent.
This is not a.speciic predisposition
to tuberculosis. however, but is a pre-
disposition to any and all OF the com
municable. diseases. 1t means no
more than the child is born with a
weakened resistance to any and all
diseases. Such a child should be care
fully reared and given all of the adj
vantages of modern hygiene and .sani-
tation. If that is one most of them
will soon acquire strong and vigorous
constitutions, and have as much re-
sistance to disease as children born of
perfectly healthy parents.
Since the discovery CT the tubercle
bacillus, there has been born a mod
ern knowledge of tuberculosis which
is based on known facts and not on
theory. By means of 1t. we are now
able tc' teach ways and means for the
control of the disease, and for pre-
venting further spread of it, Also
day teaching has shown thaf
the disease is a durable one, and easily
durable in the early stage. We are
to cure thousands of cases now,
when before but few were reclaimed.
