ASK AID FOR WAR
ON WHITE PLAGUE
Atlanta Anti-TubercuIosisA ssocia-
ton Starts Campaign to Raise
$lO,OO0-Work Praised.

To proysJie sinews for continua-
ton of the war inaugurated against
the white plague in Atlanta four
years ago. members of the Anti-Tu-
berculosis Association to-day began
a canvass of the city for $4,000
fund.
The work has been extended and
systematized remarkably in the short
time it has been established in A.
lanta. but the association finds lis
activities badly crippled by lack Of
money. The physicians and nurses
have gone into the homes of the des-
titute. furnished treatment to the af-
licted and administered preventive
serum to those who have exhibited
tubercular tendencies or who have
lived in conditions favorable to The
development Of the disease.
Laud Work of Organization.
Prominent persons, familiar with
the work accomplished say the or
ganization has been a most effective
instrument in checking the disea se.
in introducing sanitary conditions in
squalid homes and in making it more
difficult for other diseases to obtain 4
foothold.
Visiting nurses are sent into the
homes of the patients. Every MEM
Der of the family is examined. What
ever disease or symptom of disease Is
found In those associated with the tu-
bercular patient it promptly is taken
In hand and the afflicted persons are
placed in the care OF. a reputable ply
stefan.
Four hundred and forty-six per-
sons unable to employ a doctor were
given office treatments last month.
The four nurses of the association
made SO2 visits to homes in which the
plague had gained an entrance.
Teeth Put in Condition.
Eighty-four treatments were given
to tubercular patients with throat
trouble The teeth of 40 patients
were put in prophylactie condition by
the dentist Of the association. and
twelve persons received treatment
from the stomach specialist.
In addition to this record Of the
month. many other persons were ex-
amined in the dispensary, a large
share of whom we're placed under OBJ
seryation. The educational work that
is being conducted by the visiting
nurses is no small part of the cam
paign. although its result in de-
creased mortality will not at once be
apparent.
