While it is quite true whatever concerns d concerns you and concerns me yet there are degrees of difference. It seems that while not detracting at all from the importance of the things we have been discussing and promoting, I can claim for this subject a paramount interest cause it is actually a question of life and death, The question of how to lessen the ravages pf the white plague vitally concerns you and co.cems me. In the days of the past when one mem- ber after another in a family died of consumption, often family after family in the same house, people accepted it as "their Jot." Now we know better but we do not live up to it. While science was making sire of facts the number of consumptives was increasing and the death rate rolling up. When science an- nounced that this plague could be check- ed, even finally almost eradicated, be- cause while it was communicable it was ite curable, was this a [oclin Sat galled the-country to protect itself ? It did not prove $0. 2 Ww NO has beén slowly spreading but more slowly acted upon. We have not been blame- less if "to know to do good and to do it not" be a sin. Just for a moment pic- ture to yourselves, say three or four years ago, that a stealthy enemy crept in upon us in Canada and destroyed or maimed eight thousand of our popula- tion. This thing did actually happen and had been happening before but does this cause any excitement, does the whole country rise to prevent its ever happen- ing again? Do the press and the people discuss this above everything else, how it has happened and how its recurrence could be prevented? Not at all. The very same, thing happened the next year and the next and is happening in this our year of grace 1907. Just dwell for a moment on the loss to the country of eight thousand people by one dread enemy and the suffering and disease bequeathed to others be- cause of lack of prevention and care. The features of this disease that prevent peo- ple from being universally anxious as to the care of it and the safeguarding of others are: that the infection is slow, and there are no visible wounds. The "| results of exposure to the other con- ious diseases are so quick that every- - associates cause ng effect, while | tuberculosis, although death often' fol- lows exposure to the infection, it is so far separated from it in point of time that we fail to connect the two. To see or anyone suffering from external wounds, is to excite the sympathy and effort of everyone. In tuberculosis there is no similar visible symptom to so invite interest and help. he sick cured of acute disease, or the wounded made whole, are results appar- ent to everyone, while the results from the slow process of cure by nourishment and fresh air are neither so quick nor so visible. There are, however, two kinds of appeal that will reach most people, either that made to the altruistic, where knowledge of the needs of others, and faith in the means of relief, are suf- ficient to excite effort, or the appeal made to the primal instinct of self-pre- servation. 1 do not mean to say that little has been done, for, as in other things, an increasing number of carnest people are doing what they can, Socie- ties for the prevention and cure of this disease have been formed and are doing work, We have sanitoria doing splendid work in the cure of tuberculosis and one sanitorium in Ontario is devoted to the care of the incurable. We have made beginnings in outdoor treatment in places in Nova Scotia and New Bruns: wick, and in Ottawa, Kingston, St. Catharines and Stratford in Ontario. The chairman and secretary of the Pro- vincial Board of Health make annual statements as to the spread of the dis. ease and death-rate from it and make appeal for effort to stay its course. The Canadian Association for the pre- vention of tuberculosis has met annually for seven years and discussed ways and means as to the cure and prevention of this disease. They have also published and distributed a great deal of educa- tional literature on the discase and offer the services of the secretary, Rev. Dr. Moore, as lecturer on the subject. Among other things discussed by them at a recent meeting was the advisability of compulsary notification of all cases of consumption, It ic this society that has especially asked for our co-operation in the prevention and cure of tuberculosis. Branches of this society have been form- ed in several places and are doing good work. Montreal has a league for com- batting the white plague which has done excellent work in a very systematic and extensive manner. Colchester, Nova Scotia, also has an earnest band of work- ers in the same crusade and sends to the Canadian #ssociation hopeful reports of work done and results obtained. The Daughters of the Empire have in several cities spread an interest in the subject and lent valuable uid toward checking the disease. This is particularly so in amilton, where a sanitorium has been the result of their efforts. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in New York has a very large and instruc- tive exhibition, illustrating the methods, appliances, and mechanisms in connec- tion with this subject. Last August they placed the exh n in Toronto during | the time of meeting of the British Medi- cal Association, and the holding of the Industrial exhibition at that place. Dur- ing the two weeks of its stay in Toronto thousands visited the exhibition and were interested and instructed. The Ontario government was so much impressed by its value that last session it was an- nounced that an arrangement had been made to secure a duplication of this ex- hibit. Tt is intended that the exhibit shall be displayed for a time in every city, town and sized village in the province. An official or etent EE SR fovernment, starids Cady to assist the v muni sanitondm to the extent of Som t is also willing to contribute $1.50 a week per patient under treatment, The legislature defer- red action in regard to laws for the pre- vention and cure of this disease to allow a more bill to be drawn up after conferernice with the board of health r the province. It is said that among other things to be incorporated in this bill is the incl of consumption among the diseases that come under the supervision of the medical health officer of each city. This is surely a fundamen- tal regulation. It seems at least surpris- ing that consumption, a contagious dis- case, destroying more lives than all the other contagious diseases put together, should have been left unregulated up to this time. In smallpox, scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles and whooping cough there is compulsory notification, with the necessdry isolation and disinfection. On the other hand thousands have con- tracted con: jon and died for the mere lack of disinfection of the rooms, furniture, and belongings of those who have previous! died of this disease. Here is one thing that we can help to remedy, by interesting the members of legislatures and city 'councils. It is always interesting to find how our committees are inter-related. With this work, emigration has a great deal to do in regard to better medical inspec- tion of emigrants, and the committee on domestic science and hygiene is a big factor in the means of prevention and cure. Dr. Flick, director of the Henry Phipps Institute for the study, treatment and prevention of tuberculosis, Philadel- hja, reasserts the dictum that tubercu- losis is produced by the -artificial condi- tions of life indoors. Fresh air, sun- shitie, good and simple diet and sensible clothing are the essentials of health. Whether in crowded tenements, crowded factories or crowded schoolrooms, the lessened vitality that bad air produces creates fertile soil, for the bacilli that Alps in Quality, A Revelation MAKES YOUR EXPENSES LIGHT .
