Mistake to Regard Tuberculosis
Common Resultof Warfare Gases

will suffer any permanent disability"
"In the majority of cases of sec
ondary tuberculosis. it seems to be
simply exacerbations of old infec-
tions which have been more or less
latent" the French say.
The German physicians "agree
unanimously that gassing has no
connection with tuberculosis" and
Prof. Stachlin of Switzerland. who
searched through all the chronic dis
eases occurring among prisoners OF
war interned in Switzerland, with but
few exceptions could find any suffer
ing from the results or effects of gas
poisoning.
Summary Of Conclusions.
As a result OF the foregoing opin-
ions and its own knowledge of the
relationship, if any. the division
draws the following conclusions:
That large number of individuals
were undoubtedly substandard in the
beginning and would quite probably have
broken down under any stress or strain.
That the generally unknown effect of
warfare gases has furnished many IN
dividuals a peg upon which to hang all
manner of symptoms
That the period Of time between our
entry into the war and the present date.
has offered ample opportunity for the
onset Of diseases totally unassociated
with war wounds or exposure.
AS to the incidence of pulmonary
tuberculosis resulting from exposure to
gas, it would seem that it is far from
convincing that gas played any particu-
lar role in this connection and it Is
doubtful If the incidence of lung tuber-
culosis among ex-Service men Is much
greater by reason of the part that gas
played.
Those who claim to have developed
tuberculosis a year after leaving the
service. from conditions experienced in
the Army, certainly have no basis for
such assertion. They probably would
have become tuberculosis patients even
if they had never been in the Army.
There are two elements entering into
this problem-one neurasthenic. where
the men were gassed. usually very
slightly. and believed sincerely that this
was factor IN their illness. and. second.
mistaken diagnosis in many cases, espe-
cially those following influenza, in
which. instances Of unresolved broncho-
pneumonia occurred. leaving nodular
patches upon which the diagnosis OF tu-
berculosis was frequently based on
x-ray plates.

tuberculosis does not develop more
other subjects and those former SOL
diers who, although enjoying good
health at the present time. are labor
ing under mental worry, fearing
symptoms of tuberculosis at any time,
have been misled by advisers who,
in many cases. have had little ex-
perience with warfare gases.
Thus does the medical division of
the chemical warfare service of the
Army. in charge of Lieut.. Col. II. l..
Gilchrist, declare with the sole OBJ
ject in view of "enlightening the
public on tuberculosis and its rela-
ton to warfare gases.
The medical division has prepared
a pamphlet on the subject composed
Gilchrist on THE After Effects of
Gas Poisoning" Col Gilchrist and
his associates have made a thorough
investigation of the subject, adopting
every means to obtain true and reli-
able information both in this country
and in Europe.
illustrated by Analysis.
AS an illustration of the fear and
apprehension under which gassed for
mer soldiers are laboring, Col. Gil
christ states that an analysis of
1895 applications for compensation
filed at the Veterans Bureau shows
that 352. or "a per cent, attributed
their disability to the after-effects
of warfare gases. OF the entire num-
ber 554 were suffering from tuber-
culosis, of which number 125, or 22.5
per cent. attributed their condition
to having been gassed. OF this num-
Der a large percentage did not inhale
enough gas to require medical treat
ment at the time, the colonel pointed
out.
Col Gilchrist gave another example
of the opinion in different quarters
regarding the relationship. Two
hundred personal letters were ad
dressed to medical officers of the Re
serve Corps of the Army, he said, the
majority of whom had had extensive
experience in treating gas cases, both
during and following the war. with
request that they express their views
concerning the relationship between
tuberculosis and warfare gassing.
OF this number Al per cent did not
reply. he stated; Al per cent were Of
the opinion that. as a rule, there was
little or no connection between the
tuberculosis, and 13 per cent were of
the opinion that in some cases rela-
tionship existed between these con-
ditions.
Foreign expressions on the subject
are thrown In to give weight to the
divisions argument The British de-
clare there is happily every reason
to think that only very small per-
centage of gas casualties of the war
