Ayonh uiicer. + 35â€" mt ‘The Chairman introduced Dr. Por= ter ‘to ‘the meeting, â€" who presented his facts in a very infteresting manâ€" rate from. tuberculosis in Canada â€" of 9,700. ‘The death rate. through vhe Province of Ontario in 1905 was 2,« #§67. In the last six years in the coâ€" unty of Waterloo, there bave â€"â€" been 812 deaths, (an average of. 523 a year.) When we reahze that _ all deaths between the ages ol 15 and 50, (just when a person is in a posiâ€" tion to be of â€"mostâ€"useâ€"to his family and To sqciety) are from tubcreulosis it is more lamentable: . The reason for the public apathy â€"towards . the matter is not due to selfishness and to heartl but to the fact that they have not hu.ed the extent . of the disease and that it is a discase of such insidious nature, that they do not realize what it has done to them, The Canadian Association for proâ€" vention of Tubercuiosis is for . the purpose of cailing the public to the fact that this discase is imleclive, through the sputum, and that careful patients: are not dangerous, This disease is preventable by destroying the sputum, It is also curabi@ . in the early stage. We wish to organize branches throughout the . whoie . of cCanada, in which the medical man, the putie, and the municipalities will light local conditions by local organiâ€" zations. Where this has been. done, the death rate has been greatly . reâ€" duced ner and was attentively Nstened He said:â€" they give up hope "This modern crusade against the prevention of _ ‘Tubcrculosis _ brings with it hopes and bright prospects of recovery to bundreds and â€" thousands who under the oid creatment were avandoned to despair. The Ontario Government has promâ€" ised any county who will erect . a sanitarium for the treatinent oOf their own indigent cases 40 per cent. _ of buiiding. money up fo 34000.00, and $1.30 per week ijor patient. Some say this is not enough, but would we realise that there are about 50 counâ€" ties, which would mean an outlay of $15,000.00, making a total from oue year‘s ‘giving from the Uovernment of $275,000.00. «is may not bt as !umch as some would wish, but it is certainly in the right direction. â€" President Roosevelt in Washington the other day representing the 7,OuU delegates from the world over, said, If such a sanitarium twere erecled, on a louse of lieruge grounds there would be a saving frotm the produce which is obtainea from the farm. The advantage of local treatment is that the patient is near home _ and friends, is neatby or can be attended by his own doctors, and the vaiue ol the treatment which constsis mainly in good iood, suflicient rest and fresh air, together with the destruction of the sputum, is the best object lesson to the public, an object lesson which mo distant sanitarium, however useâ€" ful, can give. At the conclusion of Dr. Porter‘s address Warden â€"Lockhari was invited to address the mecting. He _ stated that he came as an interested listener and was greatly impressed with Dr. Porter‘s splendid address. There was a crying need for movements of this kind in the Province and _ in â€" fact throughout the world. The Govcrn-l moents have made provision for everyâ€" body but the unfortunate consumptive patient. Institutions have been erectâ€" ed for the insane, deaf and dumb, blind, inchriates, epileptics, etc., but practically no provision has . been made for tuberculosis patfents, . He will not be admitted to . the jails, House of Reluge, hoSpital or _ any other public institution. It was . a reflection on the Government when it is considered what little has _ been @6ne to check the disease. . At the same time the dread disease is |lp:ndin¢ in an alarming _ manner. Thore were thrce methods, in _ his w,.uicr, to stem the disease, by oduâ€" ‘e.“u the people, by the removal of | patients to proper surronndings and | to seek out the places pafe Ausil" ‘ed and have them tl.o.oughly disinâ€" fected. | The Warden referred to the _ fact that ‘he was President of the Munsciâ€" pal Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, and spoke of the . wokk that has been _ done by the Associmâ€" tion in urging the Government _ to make better provisions to prevent the spread of the disease along the lines suggested above.
