There is no rare for tutwrcuiosls.
and probably never will l. iKieptlnt;
the word tnr In the sune of some
special uiedk-tu. A dlxeuwe prevented
is better than cured, for do one la so
well off physically or financially after
any Hlnea. and particularly does this
truth apply to tuberculoslx. The sue
ceoxful prevention of a disease does
away ulfh nny need for its "cure."
Tultt la. weu exemplified in the case of
yellow fever. We have never sm-eeed
ed in findtnir a cure for that former
scourge of the south, but we have
done far better. We have wiped out
tbe dlxeaxe bodily, bait and haKgnge.
by simple preventive methods.

Smith has the disease and goes to
tbe west. Be feels and looks in per
fect health long before a year is gone.
Be returns home, satisfied that he is
cured. In less than four months he is
agnln In the tenacious clutches of the
disease.
There Is a lesson in this. Tbe open
air treatment is all right, but It must
be carried out by right methods. All
early cases of consumption which
have failed to recover by outdoor
treatment must ' lay the tilnrue to
faulty treatment. Jones, who recover
ed, you will remember, did change his
location every day, having no tent to
bother him, and In doing so avoided
the fatal mistake of Drown.
Bow about Smith 7 The case of
Smith is of the greatest Importance.
Be had recovered, you will remember,
and returned to his home feeling fine
back to whatt To the very same
plague riddeu room In which be bad
first contracted, the disease a room
reeking with tubercular germ life and
which had been ' occupied. ' It was
learned Inter, by Dve different con
sumptives at varions times. Tbe dis
ease got a hold on him a second time'
for the simple reason that he came
back to the original source of his dis
ease. Be should have sought new
quarters, or else the house, and partic
ularly the room he occupied, should
have been disinfected before being oc
cupied by him or any one else These
three cases cited are but typical in
stances. There ar thousands upon
thousands of Browns. Joneses and
Smiths living and dying this very day
whose story, if told In its true light,
would match exactly the simple but
pathetic history of these three men.
The thing that the doctor bring out
is that consumption must be prevented
rather than cured: that prevention is
easy and cheap and lien In disinfection.
This. In the case of the consumptive's
quarters, be. Insists, should be at least
onct a week The formula Is simple:
"Fumigate every room in the house
with a vapor given off by beating

. Be reaches the conclusion that the
rery existence of the hope of a "cure
has been responsible for increase of
the disease. Be urges people to flee
from consumption by killing it in the
germ that lurks in bouse or ground.
