WORK IN GARDINER

Miss Elizabeth Sumner, field work
er for the Maine Anti tuberculosis
Association has prepared a chart of
the cases of tuberculosis found by
her during her recent investigat tons
in Gardiner, which gives much data
of value. Upon it is given the age,
sex, occupation, nationality, number
in family. stage Of disease, result of
examination Of sputum, stage Of dis
ease, sanitation of house, surround
ings, personal hygiene, ventilation,
sunlight. other cases in family,
whether or not ever in sanitorium,
whether follows instructions or not,
disposal of spUtum, and present con-
dition. The chart shows all this in
IS of the 40 known cases in the city.
Miss Sumner in conversation stat
ed that she had never before conduct
ed like Investigations in any city
where she found such excellent con-
ditions in ventilation and sunlight,
both being abundant in early all
cases. OF the 40 cases nearly all are
far advanced. three only being incip-
lent. These three cases are all young
men who have been examined for the
draft by the officials and rejected be
cause Of their tuberCular condition
which was hitherto unsupported. In
one way it is unfortunate that so few
were found as there must be other
cases still unknown. OF the 26 cases
charted only We're found where the
conditions regarding sanitation of
house and surroundings. care of per
son, and who follow instructions Civ
en-. might be considered excellent. All
tho other cases are either careless or
indifferent. Fourteen of these cases
are decidedly dangerous to the COM
munity. Miss Sumner further ex-
presses hrr thanks TO Manager Keller
of the Strand Theatre and TO Father
Reardon for the use of their halls,
for Nj. Torsleff's address and the re-
cent lecture by DIR. Bristol.
