Tirn ' MORNING- OREGONIAN, TUTJIISD AY, APRIL 13, 1925 REST SUREST CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS Expert of Colorado Springs Discusses White Plague. educational training which had failed tb enable the medical profession to master disease and kep people well. and blamed himself and others in the profession who, he said, "must revise the work so that complete confidence will be restored and so folk will get what they want most cures for their ailments instead of a lot of high sounding diagnoses without cures." Dr. W ebb Lecture Tonight. Dr. Webb will deliver his lecture on "Tuberculosis Our Triumphs and Tasks." at central library hall tonight. To this the Oregon Tuberculosis as sociation, of which Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar is executive secretary, ur gently invites the public. Preceding the lecture pupils of west side schools RESEARCH IS NEGLECTED T)r. Gerald B. Webb Brands Gross Ira ilu re to Forward Study of Plague National Scandal. A tuberculosis germ, while admit tedly a "dangerous little fellow, ally has no intention, so far as lias I been learned through medical re search, of killing "his host," accord ing to Dr. Gerald B. "Webb of Colorado Springs. Col., past presi.lpnt of the National Tuberculosis association and international authority upon this highly important subject. He ad dressed the public health institute yesterday afternoon in the Jiultno mah hotel. He in no wise minimized the serious consequences of the ba- I c i Hi. but apparently wished to be en tirely fair in his discussion, both to I the "bugs' and the "hosts" and pros pective "hosts." Dr. Webb declared, before he fin ished his address, that "it is a shame that this great, rich nation of ours spends so much time, money and brains on contrivances which destroy men, as in war, and so little to foster scientific investigation with a view of overcoming the monster of tuber culosis." Rest Declared Best Cure. He was serious, but not sensa tional, and said that so far as has been disclosed definitely through known experimentation anywhere. "rest is the only sure thing discov ered which has stood the test of time in .restoring victims of pulmon ary tuberculosis to health." "We have found," said Dr. Webb, "that tuberculosis bacilli, the para sites which set up consumption under certain conditions, really have no in- ! tention of killing their host when I they enter the human system. They merely wish to form colonies. Of course, in so doing, they act to find an exit for the purpose bf spread ing to other hosts and the conse quences are so disastrous that we find, through the Kramingham ex periment, that we have in this coun try 1, 000,000 tubercular persons, to I which an additional 1,000,000 poten tial victims safely may be added. Research Has Been Neglected. "The goal which all medical folk working on tuberculosis experimen tation have in view and which not yet has been attained, is a vaccina tion that will destroy the baccilli, as does our system of vaccination de stroy the germs of smallpos and other diseases. It may be that, by conducting our investigations until we have learned the secret, we shall develop this coveted achievement and the pity is that so few are doing anything about it. There are not six men in the United States who are devoting their time seriously to the work of re search designed to master the tuber culosis germ and more is the pity. I recently discussed this lamentable feature with Dr. Theopold Smith, who, 1 believe, knows more about tubercu losis than any man in the world. He is now devoting his time to diseases of turkeys! The Rockefeller founda tion is supporting that work. Money Lacking for Study. What a pity that this great, rich nation has no funds to carry forward the scientific study of so dread a plague a? tuberculosis. Think of the money, the brains and the time we spend upon contrivances for destruc tion, as in war, and then compare it with what we are doing to save mankind from tuberculosis and other enemies." Regarding the developments as to the rest cure for tuberculosis pa tients. Dr. Webb said it had been found in the Colorado Springs sani tarium that much depends upon the manner of the repose of the victims. He stressed this point and advised that a very wide diffusion of knowl edge on this feature should bo had, for, he said, there are but few resorts for the accommodation and treatment of afflicted persons and that general practitioners must learn how to advise. Rest Essential to Recovery. "We have found that in pulmonary tuberculosis patients should be care fully advised how to rest," said Dr Webb. "A woman who was sent to us recently with instructions from her physician that her right lung should be collapsed, and whom he ordered to rest, was lying on her left side all the time, thus forcing the diseased side of the lungs to do all the work. As we breathe 1000 times every hour, that is pretty severe treatment. We reversed the rest and In due time the woman recovered. "In cases where tuberculosis af fecting the vocal cords, for instance, are under treatment, we have dis covered that rest is just as essential and have prescribed pencils and pads for the carrying on of conversation to afford this. You will be as sur prised as we have been to learn that our experience is that women more readily take to the use of pencil and paper.' More Practitioners Needed. Dr. Webb and other speakers of the day emphasized the need of more general practitioners. He said that if the large percentage of tuberculosis victims are to be properly cared for they must be able to obtain physi cians of experience and knowledge of how to treat this disease. These, he said, only can be trained through Just such institutes as this one and by similar means. Dr. H. 1 Moon, director of the Seat tle nutrition clinic, preceded Dr. Webb on the atternoon programme, going into the details of treatment of chil dren. At the morning session Dr. A. T. McCcrmack, state health officer of Kentucky; David Robinson. . attorney lor the public health service here. and Dr. K. A. Pierce discussed variou3 features. I'resticre Recovery lred. An earnest plea for the restoration of the prestige of the medical pro fession in every city and urban com munity as it existed when the old fashioned country doctor used to ad minister to folk featured a night ses sion under the auspices of the City and County Medical society, when Dr. McCormack addressed a capacity audience in the green room of the Chamber of Commerce. "We must take care of the folk in the country, as well as those in the cities and towns," said Dr. McCor- nack. "They are the salt of the earth: they provide our sustenance. If they should suddenly decide to pull up stakes and move to town and quit raising crops and things for us to eat, what would become of us? They are just as much entitled to consideration, in fact, more so, than those of us who live in the big cities and have every thing that goes to make life worth living."

WIFE PROTESTS WAGE CUT SPOISE OF SECTION' HAND ITEMIZES LIVING COSTS. "Witnesses Declare They Are Under fed and ITnderclothed Even on Present Kailroad Scale. CHICAGO. April 12. Human ex hibits to prove that maintenance of way railroad employes cannot live properly on their present pay today were brought before the United States railroad labor board hearing into the road's demands for wage cuts when Frank P. Walsh, union attorney, called to the witness stand a numbew of employes who told the board their present earnings kept them underfed, underclothed and lacking some of the r.ecessities of life. Mrs. Joseph Saboni, wife of a Mil waukee section hand, was the first witness called by Mr. Walsh. She told the board that she had to bor row the old coat she wore to make the trip here. At the end of her story she turned to the board members and said : "I know 'that you won't cut my hus band's pay when you know we can't live on what he's getting now." Mrs. Saboni said her husband's earnings last month were ?70. Her monthly expenses for bare necessities for herself, her husband and their three children were given as $40 for groceries, ?30 for meat, $13 for rent and $5.50 for milk. Her 10-year-old boy was told by a school nurse that he had consumption and she took him out of school, but the doctor said he was merely under-nourished, she tes tified. "We fed him mostly' on tea, bread and syrup," she said. White House Declares There Is No Truth in Reports That Keily Would Be Recalled. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 12.

Commissioner Davila, who has been one of the leaders in the fight to oust Governor Reily. took his cable gram to Secretary Weeks, with whom he held a conference. When the White House gave ou the substnnce of the joint cablegram it was announced that Governo Reily would remain in Porto Rico and there was no truth in recurrent re lorts that he would be recalled and given a post in Washington.

OTTAWA, April 12. Government fish hatcheries have ruined the "morale" of the salmon of British Co lumbia, according to the story told to the house of commons by A. W. Neill. independent (Comox-Alberni.) It seems that when the wee salmon come into the world at the fish hatch ery they are guarded against all ene mies and lose their protective instinct. So when the salmon has come to age and is sent out in the cold world he is as "tame as a cat," to use Mr. Neill's expression, and when he meets an enemy he "stands with his mouth open and accepts murder as if such a thing was foreordained."

"I had finished my lecture before the medical staff of the hospital which receives patients suffering from the effects of shell-shock sus tained during the war and had ap plied my method to several cases. Then, to show how pain would dis appear rapidly by auto-suggestion, J treated two or three patients who, at the invitation of the chief sur geon, came to me on the platform. Their pain vanished in a few s onds. "Two other patients presented themselves. The first I treated with immediate success but the sec ond an hysterical subject was over come by nervousness at finding him self exposed to the view of every one in the room, had a fit just as I placed my hand on his forehead and told him to repeat 'the pains are going." Several hysterical subjects were in the room and they too caught the contagion and had fits at the sight of their comrade's suffering. "After the lecture by Lady Beattie who had asked me to visit those un fortunate victims of the war, told them that in five days I had cured her completely of a physical afflic tion for which she had been treated in vain for several years.
