Country Must Not Stop Fight

Crumb}ne of Kansas To Make
Preventive Serum Here.

Chicago. Dec 16.-''Don't relax Wig
lance for a day in the fight against
influenza simply because the epidemic
appears to have lost its force and be
on the decline
That was the final advice given to
health boards and physicians of the
country by the American Public
Health association following almost
week Of discussion of the nationwide
epidemic.
The secondary wave of the disease
thru which the country is now passing
is merely one of several that will
sweep cities and country this winter.
health authorities said. Numerous
authorities have cited the histories of
other epidemics to show a succession
of outbreaks and the further fact most
epidemics reach their crest the second
year. Many health experts expressed
the opinion that, serious as the disease
even greater in 1919 unless definite
means of preventing it has been de-
veloped.
DR.. R. A. O'Neill. chairman of the
Him ois influenza commission. referred
to the grip epidemic of the early '90s
as one epidemic. that reached its
height the second year.
Fight Between Waves.
"Any city that lets down in its fight
against the disease because it appea rs
| the worst is over is making trouble for
| ITSELF" Doctor O'Neill said. THE fight
| must continue day by day and the
medical profession must prepare in
times between waves for the next
succeeding wave. Every city should
| establish reserve forces of nurses and
physicians and should make provision
for increased hospital space. The
epidemic is not going to stop with
the present recurrence nor with the
| next one"
Make Vaccine in Kansas.
| DR.. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the
Kansas state board of health. has COM
pleted his plan for handling the cpl
demic in his state. He said he would
have a man sent from the University
| of Kansas to Rochester, Mimi, to
| spend ten days with DR.. E. c. Rose
now, member of the Mayo Founda-
ton, who has developed the form OIL
prophylactic incubation for the pre-
vention of influenza, approved by the
| convention. When he returns the
vaccine will be manufactured in Kan
sas and distributed to physicians.
Then. Doctor Crumbine said, he would
attempt to create a big reserve force
| of nurses who could be called upon in
emergency. Also, he said, he would
learn precisely how much hospital
space was available in the state and
| to what extent it could be increased
| imme diately.

Its Solution

Fourteen years ago the fight against
tuberculosis in America was organized
under the leadership of the National Tu-
berculosis Association.
Then there were less than ten state
and local tuberculosis associations, and
some 300 or 400 other anti-tuberculosis
agencies all told, including hospitals, dis
pensaries, nursing societies and the like.
Now there are anti tuberculosis asso-
Citations in every state, about 1,50O local
associations and 1000 anti-tuberculosis
agencies of other kinds, which are wag-
ing war against this enemy and are
thereby assisting in saving thousands of
lives annually.
tuberculosis is both preventable and
durable. Just as the Black Plague of the
middle ages is no longer known, so also
this so-called White Plao1,o of today will
in due time by unremitting effort be ban
ished from the earth.
The special war problem presented by
the men who have been rejected for mill
tary service is being met and solved
The national, state and local tuberculosis
associations, state and local boards of
health and the Red Cross are co-operat-
ing turnout the country in'reaching these
men and providing them with such treat
ment as is necessary.

The .Proble lem

tuberculosis Consumption takes
more human lives than any other dis
ease which still afflicts mankind.
In America not less than two million
people are sick with consumption, and
100000 die every year.
When the young men of the nation
presented themselves for physical exami-
nation in the draft, tens Of thousands of
them were found to be unfit for military
service on account of tuberculosis.
Most of these men had the disease in
it's earlier and less manifest stages Most
of them did not know they had it. They
were not only going uncared for them
selves, but were exposing others.
tuberculosis stands revealed as war
problem as we'll as health problem. It
is depicting the effective manpower of
the nation. 1t is preventing these tens
of thousands of young men from serving
their country at the front.
