conveyed but faint impression of
the original, proved so revolving that
for decency's sake it was withdrawn
from all editions after the first.
When the report submitted to the
commissioner of health described this
loathsome condition as "a calcifled
abscess," which means a small tuber-
cular' abscess that is completely
healed, 1 was obliged to accept it at
its face value, particularly for the
reason that the word "refute" had
been emphasized in it's preface.
June 1, 1915, following the arrest of
the indicted slaughters and the eX-
posure of the Health Department. s
duplicity, Commissioner Wallstein OBJ
tained from Director Brown the infor-
nation that Brown had not made the
report at all, but that it had been
made by his subordinates and sub
mitted to him for his signature, which
he attached without knowing any
thing about the accuracy of the docu-
ment.
When the subordinates were ex-
amined they declared that the mac
curacy of the report was due solely
to inadvertence and hurry. They ad-
mitted to Commissioner Wallstein
that the lesion described by them as
a calcified abscess was the gross, ex-
tensive, pus-containing mass which !
found it to be.
These details of the johnson ave-
inue tragedy indicate among many
other things that it is not sufficient
for the directors of public health ac-
tivities to be merely honest. They
must also be free from prejudice and
efficient enough to recognize the
truth when they see it.
The truth itself, as we are about to
learn, contains message for the
American people which, If ignored,
must end in greater tragedy
