rector, District Of Columbia Tubercu-
losis Association:
Considering the years Of careful
planning that have gone into the pro-
posed construction OF q great munich
pal tuberculosis center, do not see
how they can be justifiably thrown
into the discard at this late date.
II tuberculosis is to be controlled
in the District of Columbia, and II we
are to remove from the Nations Capt.
tai City the shameful stigma Of the
high tuberculosis mortality and NOR
bidity, we should unitedly set our eyes
steadily toward the completion OF
plans that were developed five years
ago-namely, the building of one mu-
nicipal tuberculosis hospital center.
And we should begin to realize that,
in addition to this objective, the Ma
tons Capital City should have q full
time physician charged with the con-
troll OF tuberculosis. A second physi-
clan would act as co-ordinator Of the
medical and surgical departments OF
Gallinger Hospital, whose responsible
ity would be the medico-surgical tu-
berculosis work. And last, but not
least, the tuberculosis Health Depart
ment Clinic should be adequately
stated with physicians and nurses
whose duties, in addition to the dag
nosis Of patients, should include the
supervision of all ambulant patients.
Radiating from this central clinic
should be a number Of accessible
clinics located in various parts Of the
city, which would, in addition to pro-
viding easy and adequate facilities for
the diagnosis Of patients, also provide
for teaching anti-tuberculosis tech
nique to the medical students and
nurses Of the District of Columbia.
DR.. G. Albert Smith, chairman, Oral
Hygiene Committee, District Of CO.
lunlbia Dental Society:
Few people realize the important
part the dentist plays In the picture
involving those af1licted with tubercu-
losis. Oral hygiene, however, is an
Important factor. Proper care Of the
teeth Of the tuberculous is essential
toward removing sources of toxins
which might tear down their vitality
to combat their main aff1iction. Ora
sepsis putrefaction Is the frequent
cause of physical debility. It increases
the tendency to children's contagious
diseases, lends to nasal distractions
mouth breathing, undeveloped chest
and tendency to respiratory disease
For these reasons it is essential that
institutions of this type be located ad-
iacent to Washington in centralized
group that this dental care, which 1:
so necessary. may be properly ad-
ministered.
The expense to the District citizens
and all taxpayers to pay for the varied
services and attention that are needed
by the patients in a tuberculosis hos
pital will be at the minimum II the
new hospital Is located at Glenn Dale
where the first unit of a center Il
now located. The expense will be ai
the maximum If it is located on q
contrary and opposing site. II the
care of the patients themselves is sup
posed to mean anything in this ques-
ton, then surely this hospital should
be erected where rapid visitation may
be made by attending or consulting
dentists.
