Characteristic of the mechanical age in which we now live, the treatment of tuberculosis is rapidly being placed on a mechanical basis, in much the same way as the "go out West and rough it" formula was advocated by many four decades ago. That tuberculosis is primarily a constitutional disease with local manifestations is overlooked by many enthusiasts. Extravagant statistics, frequently compiled prematurely, attempt to prove the efficacy of favored surgical procedures, and premises have recently been...References1.
