fed and over-worted. An intelligent
Japanese guide once likened Toxic to
me to a great vortex into which the
healthy country people entered, be-
came swallowed up, and died. We
may take such manufacturing cities
as exist today in Japan as typical of
the most suitable conditions that can
exist for the spread of tuberculosis.
Now let us turn to the opposite pic
ture, namely to the places and condi-
lions of life that are safest from the
standpoint of escaping the disease.
One naturally thinks Immediately of
some isolated region with a glorious
climate, like the crater of Haleakala.
This is probably true if one was born
there and stayed there, but, as l
pointed put in another paper, those
who are brought up in isolated regions
are in great danger when they change
to city life of contracting a deadly
and rapidly fatal form of tuberculosis,
for the reason that during childhood
they have not received the usual
small NEGOTIATIONS of the disease: they
have not, as it were been vaccinated
against the disease. The great ma
jority of people live in villages, towns,
and cities, and a very large percentage
of such people receive this childhood
incubation which produces a partial
immunity-only partial but very i'm
portant. Now taking this normal life
under civilized conditions, what parti-
cular place would you select as being
the safest place to live in if you wish

TUBERCULOSIS ON MAUI
BY DR.. w. D. BALDWIN

In a sense it is perhaps fortunate
that we do not and annot realize
the appalling loss of life due to tuber.
culosis for if we did we would be in
a continuous state of hysteria or de-
preston.

of the war from direct
Outlets, so to speak, was only two
and a quarter times the number of
deaths from tuberculosis in the same
country for the year 1916.
Figures Deceptive
But statistics are often misleading.
Several years ago the Palama Settle
ment began their splendid anti-tuber-
culosis campaign; and the public ma
turally expected to see immediate and
startling results. After a year or two
had gone by n of the trustees call
ed my attention to the official board
of health figures which showed that
instead of a decrease in number of
recorded deaths from tuberculosis per
1000 inhabitants there was actually an
increase. He was troubled, and so
was l, until I thought of an almost
obvious explanation (Which l still be-
lieve to be the true one), namely,
that doctors, being human and not
always infallible, sometimes, when
signing a death certificate, will wonder
for a moment what they should put
down as the cause of death. Now if
much is being said and written about
tuberculosis, then naturally, in a
case of doubt, that diagnosis suggests
itself much more often than when
there is no community interest in the
subject. Also, with more general in
terest, and with district nurses fer
riting out the cases. a great many
more cases are bound to be correctly
diagnosed rs tuberculosis than for
merly when they would have died
in o~bscurity and been designated on
the certificate as dying from "old
age" or some other indefinite causa-
ton.

butes the increased death rate as due
to the prevalence of influenza.
Conditions Induce Disease
The most ideal conditions for the
high incidence of tuberculosis obtain
where there is poverty coupled with
crowded living quarters. In the big
cities of Japan, tuberculosis has been
greatly on the increase, the reason
being that this nation has been chang.
ing too rapidly from a farming to a
great manufacturing people. The fac.
tory hands are poorly housed and
poorly paid. They therefore do not
have adequate fresh air, are under

ed difference between the temperature
of day and night. This is stimulating
and healthful and is the main feature
in climate that is recognized as being
beneficial for the tuberculous patient:
certainly those who live at our higher
attitudes are generally roster and
healthier than those who live lear sea
level, which should mean that they
are not prone to succomb 10 The
disease. AS regards humidity, the
popular belief that a dry climate is
beneficial porbably has no foundation
in fact. A patient in a good sanitorium
in dry Colorado has no better chance
than a patient, in an equally good
sanitorium. in moist England.
Types Of 5aciIIi
The causitive agent of the disease
is, as you all know, the bacillus tuber-
culosis. In human tuberculosis there
are two varieties of this bacillus; the
human type, found in tuberculosis
sputum; and the bovine type, which
commonly affects cattle, and which
is found in milk (and its products.
such as butter and cheese) from
tuberculous cows. But while this
bovine form plays a minor role as re-
CARDS pulmonary turebculosis yet
many regard it as the prime factor
in immunizing the human race against
the more deadly human form OF bacil-
lus. In other words, during childhood
we drink milk or eat butter that is
infected with this germ; from the
elementary canal these germs make
their way to the glands of the chest
or elsewhere; they become lodged
there, multiply, and develop tubercu-
lous tissue; as a rule these tubercu-
lous glands cause no symptoms what
ever and instead produce a beneficial
reaction, giving us a partial immuni-
ty against the more virulent human
type of bacillus that commonly at
lacks the lungs. A few even go so
far therefore as to argue that tuber-
culous milk is really a blessing in dis
guise to the human race. Perhaps it
would be a blessing if we could regu-
late the dose so that we would never
have more than a very minute dose,
but as this is impossible | think it far
safer to continue the excellent work
~inaugurated by the late DR.. Norgaard
in the Islands in the line of eradicat-
ing ~tuberculous cows from our diaries.
This natural method of ~vaccinating
by way of drinking infected Dlili is
too dangerous; but it suggests that
possibly some day an immunity may
be artificially produced by the injec-
ton of very weak strains of tubarcle
bacilli.
Destroying the Germs
tuberculosis of the lungs is nearly
always caused by the human type OF
bacillus; this bacillus is sometimes
found in focal eXcreta, but, practical
ly speaking, we may think OF it as
being only in sputum from tuberculous
patients. The subject of sputuln is
an exceedingly disagreeable, almost
~nauseating, n to think about. out
we must, face ~disagreeable things il
we are to make Roadway against this
disease. 1t is tragic that the infective
material for the spread of thiS dis
ease should be such a disgusting sub
stance as sputum; the tragedy m
