TUBERCULOSIS REDUCED IN
STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
(From the Quarterly Bulletin of the
State Board of Health, New
HamDSffire)

(From the Quarterly Bulletin of the
State Board of Health, New
Hampshfre.)
"Only few persons who have stud
jed the mortality statistics of the
State probably realize the great re-
duction that has been made in the
number of deaths in New Hampshire
from tuberculosis during the past
quarter of a century. We, therefore,
give some facts that cannot fail to be
OF public interest.
From the first date to the last,
there was a progressive diminution
in the number of deaths from this dis
ease. In 1884, there were 868 deaths
returned; in 1885, 857 deaths; in 1885
S09 deaths, and so on, progressively,
down to 433 deaths in 1911-the low
est figures yet returned in a single
year.
"The mortality from tuberculosis
to each living 10000 of the population
has been reduced from 24.T0 to 1901.
The causes of this reduction must be
conceded to be largely educational.
The first concerted effort to enlighten
the public as to the nature of tuber-
culosis was begun by the State Board
of Health Immediately after it's or
ganization in 1881,in the publication
of circulars and bulletins. From that
date to the present time. these have
been extensively circulated by the
Board In addition there have been
public lectures under the auspices of
the State Board of Health and various
voluntary organizations. In the
great educational work must be men
toned the New Hampshire Federation
of Woman's Clubs, the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. the New
Hampshire branch of the Red Cross,
the New Hampshire State Grange.
individuals personally interested in
the work.
In a careful examination of the sta
tistics of the disease, the evidence
must be conclusive, that the reduction
in mortality has been secured almost
wholly through instructions in vari-
Gus directions from the sources men
toned. In the more recent years
should be included the cures, arrested
cases, and direct instruction at san.
ato-ia.
so far as the action of the State
Of New Hampshire is concerned, IT
may be noted that the first legislative
action applying in any sense to the
consideration of tuberculosis was the
enactment which created the State
! Laboratory of Hygenie, and provided
for the bacterfological examination Of
sputum from SUSPECTED cases, and
I for the detection of possible meat in
| lection.
"In 1903. a law was enacted prohib
iting splitting on sidewalks and othel
public places.
| ''In 1905. the New Hampshire State
| Saratorium, for the treatment of tn
| berculosis cases, was created; also
an act was passed requiring that ev
cry death from pulmonary consump
tion, and every removal of a tubercu
losis patient, should be reported tt
the local Board of Health-in ordel
that the promises may be properl!
disinfected."
