PNEUMONIA PREVENTION.

The end of the winter. far from
bringing g. teCmina ton to the danger
from pneumonia. IN reality marks the
beginning Of the season when this
disease becomes an extremely serious
cause OF increase OF mortality. This
is true particularly In large cities. In
recent years this increase has become
more and more marked and is all the
more striking because OF the decrease
in deaths from other infectious dis
termed the Captain of the Men of
Death displacfng tuberculosis which
for so long occupied that bad emil
hence" The most important problem
before the medical profession at pres
emit is the reduction of the death-rate
from pneumonia. Considering the ma
ture OF the disease and the intense
strain which it imposes on the heart,
it is probable that the only hopeful
outlook for any considerable reduction
in pneumonia mortality is through the
prevention Of the disease. The pros
pect Of a cure for it, in the popular
sense OF that term, according to The
Journal of American Medical Asso-
ciaton, has grown less as we have
learned more about the disease. While
pneumonia is most frequent during
the colder portion of the year it is not
dependent entirely on low tempera-
ture. 1t does not work it's greatest
ravages in the colder climates. but
is rather rare in the cold of high al
titudes and is almost never known to
occur in the Arctic circle. In spite
of all their suffering from cold, Arc
tic explorers escape this danger.
Hence we must assume that cold acts
in conjunction with some other fac
tor in the production of the disease.
Pneumonia is favored by lack of sun
light and 1t occurs among those who
are much exposed to dust or who
have to breathe the carnations from
the lungs of other people. Catarrhal
processes affecting the air passages
prepare the soil for the implantation
of the germ of pneumonia. 1t is par
ticularly a. disease of city life and
crowded living. With our present
knowledge the prospects are hopeful
for the control of pneumonia in the
future through prevention. This is of
special Importance to the individual.
The avoidance Of pneumonia is large
1y a question of personal precautions
that prevent the development of tho
disease by lessening the predisposi-
ton to 1t. Men In middle life, par
ticuIar4y those above 90, must learn
during unsettled weather, to avoid

crowds, especially when fatigued and
when they have been for "a number
of hours without eating Late at
night, when for any reason a meal
has been missed, crowds are danger
Gus. If this lesson could be generally
learned there would be less pneumo-
MIA among the well-to-do classes The
principal danger comes in crowded
street-cars. which If possible should
be avoided at rush hours. It needs to
be emphasized that the danger from
overcrowding rs greatly enhanced by
fatigue and going without food. In a
word, the prevention Of pneumonia is
now much clearer than 1T was. Like
all the other infectious diseases, in
stead of being a. more or less inevita-
BILE dispensation It has come to be
recognized as due to certain definite
factors which can be greatly lessened
by public and individual hygienic reg
uIations

FAIR PLAY FOR DR.. FRIBDGArlN
AND FOR THE PUBLIC.

One of the most useful functions of
newspapers is to call public attention
to public Injustice. Occasionally, how
ever, it is proper to inquire if the ad-
mirable zeal displayed in this good
cause has not been hastily nisapplied
For instance, DR.. Friedrich Franz
Friedman Of Berlin is plafnt1veIy
asking for a fair field in which to
demonstrate his treatment for tuber-
cuIosis; one or two newspapers have
at once sprung to champion his cause
and are inquixing why DR.. friedman
cannot be accorded fair play. Why,
they ask, can he not be allowed a
chance? Before answering this Ques-
ton. it is well to find out whether or
not DR.. Friedman has been denied
fair play IN any particular. In pa
reEthesis, it may be remarked that If
all DR.. friedman wanted was a
chance to demonstrate his treatment
he did not need to cross the ocean;
indeed, his action in withdrawing his
treatment from test by his own gov
eminent accords somewhat strangely
with his pose Of unheeded and I'M
justly treated discoverer. Let that
pass. Being on this side of the water
he presumably wishes either to sub
nit his treatment to investigation by
competent and unprejudiced praeti-
TONERS, to employ it himseIf-under
such conditions, of course, if he is act
ing in good faith, as will permit his
colleagues TO form an adequate opiQ-
ion of it. If he wants the frst-men-
toned opportUnity-nere1y to have his
treatment investigated under proper
conditions-the Public Health Service
has offered to give it ample clinical
test after demonstration of it's harm
leness. If, on the other hand he
wishes to employ it himself in New
York, he has merely to present the
proper credentials and pass an exam
ination to prove his fitness to prac-
tice, as any other physician would be
obliged to do. This, to be sure, would
require time; but even this difficufry Is
not insurmountable, for the New York
law contains a special provision for
granting a license, under extra ordina>
ry circumstances, without the usual
ties have signified their Willingness to
recognize extraordinary circumstances
in this case provided DR.. friedman
demonstrates the value of his method,
and have stated that he is at liberty
to make such demonstration in the
New York City hospitals. We fail to
see, therefore, says The Journal of the
American Medical Association that
any unfairness is being shown Dr..
F'riedmann; on the contrary, he seems
to be receiving the largest opportuni-
ty that any discoverer could desire
for the demonstration Of his treat
ment. 1t appears, moreover, that the

newspapers which have hastily as
sun1ed that DR.. Friedman is being
un3ustly treated, have missed an inn

about justice to the public? Would it
be fair or just to the throngs of tu-

a ''sure cure to facilitate their I'M
