Dr. Smith said that 35n50 of the
former soldiers treated in hospitals

passed were tuberculous. Approx
mately half of these. he said, have
been cared for since March 3. 1919. in
hospitals owned or operated by the
public health service.
Thirteen of the sixty-one hospitals
conducted by the United States public
health service are devoted to tuber-
culous patients, said DR.. Smith. The
largest of these is at Fort Bayard.
N. NJ. Other large ones are at
Prescott. Ariz.: Asheville, N. c.; Camp
New Haven, Conn. There are other
smaller hospitals. and in all service
hospitals separate wards or rooms
are provided for.tuberculous soldiers.
