The Care of the Handicapped.

One of the mnmentous problems Of
the day Is the disposal of the physically
handicapped. Among the latter Is that
large nnmhrr Of the tuherCulouS who
not only demand care IN account Of
their hclpcSSnesS but present constant
and serious menace to the entire popu-
lation. That physicians have accom-
plishcd marvclS in the prevention and
arrest Of tuberculosis has been cnnvinc-
ingly demonstrated In all civilized coun.
tries. Indeed the statlsliclnn HOFFMAN
asserts that since 1901 not less than
20,OoO lives are snvcd annually that
were formerly sacrificed 20 tuberculosis
In our own country the laborS of the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis have been
the chief contributor 10 this happy CON
summation. Al the last meeting Of this
association an important paper by Or
BoLDUAN of the New York city Health
Department opened y discussion on n
neglected phase of this subject that Is
of vital interest to the public. viz. the
needs Of those who are discharged from
