too ftlany children expossed to risk says doctor prevention needed the inveterate habit by which soma people insist on kissing children u very injurious and is one ot tho chief ways ot communicating tuberculosis dr j it elliott president of the- cana dian tuberculosis association said sunday night in addressing the meet ing under the auspices ot the social hygiene council at hygoia hall to ronto the habit prevalent in some coun tries o removing footwear on euteriug the house held considerable wisdom ho said the child during the first tew years ot hi3 lite was a floor animal and filth carried in on the shoes from tho streets was likely to contain germs of disease which might result tn his illness this was one of tho most reasonable explanations of the de velopment of colds and yet mothers wondered how their children caughb so many colds when they could nob havo got the infections from the child ren with whom they were playing most children became infected with tuberculosis in childhood dr elliott said therefore it was advisable for children to avoid tho sick room or con tact with the patient the diseaso could not he inherited dr elliotb stressed cattle precautions of the human and bovine tubercul osis only the human could be com municated to adults but the bovine bacillus claimed many victims among babies and adults consequently tho dominion government was insisting that fanners eradicate tuberculosis from their herds already 130000 in fected cattle had been slaughtered and there had been a marked lessen ing in the numbers of cattle with tho disease although there had been a distinct reduction in the mortality rate anions those under 15 and those over 30 years of age there was little change during the years between them many young people felt that after a days work la the office it was necessary to indulge in athletic activities and many moro who worked al day long spent their evenings in attending dances both ot which caused overstrain any physi cal or mental excessive strain was conducive to a weakened condition a lack of resistance and consequent sua- ceptibility to disease a cure for tuberculosis could not be effected by either medicine or a change in climate a sensible cheer ful patient was far more apt to re cover than an illnatured erratic ouo dr elliott stated and a patient who spent some time at a sauitorium was more likely to have a chance of re covery the great mistake in the treatment of the disease was that too few people understood the value ot rest many indigent patients there was a crying need for ac commodation in the province at tho present time there was need for 1500 sanatorium or public beds north and cast ot toronto there was but ouo sanatorium and that in ottawa on tarios 12 sauatoriums he stated wero not nearly enough there had been as many as 73 patients in toronto at ona time during the winter awaiting ad mittance because of a lack of beds disease would remain he said so long as patients had to be cared for in the home it was impossible for many patients to pay 1050 weekly for care and of the patients in saua toriums at present more than cs per cent were indigent tho disease could not be wiped out entirely but only by preventive mea sures he said it was mistaken econ omy to withold funds from the health department dr elliott estimated that the cost of caring for the patients who died from tuberculosis in toronto in 102s was 5237000 that sum spent in preventive measures would go very far ho thought mi glu01 ny fines sterilized tissue served from compact fixture a tanitary duslproof cabinet in nickel
