general knowledge of the, disease.
"If means of prevention were real- ing false entries in the ledger and ap
ly put into practice, declared ut.
Pottenger, "I believe that tuberculo
sis would be as scarce as smallpox
in fifty years."
The remedies suggested are edu
cation enlightenment, the widespread
dissemination of the means of pre
vention. Dr. Pottenger gave the opening
talk. "I am glad," he said, "that the
.m wnrk. he-
women are kimus k
caues the women are doing things.
They are interesting themselves in
. . .... .. .i .:.u ,v.
everything mat nas to uu
welfare of the home and the lessen-
ing of human suffering."
He referred to their efforts in get
ting public grounds and parks,
and declared that he rejoiced when
he learned last year that the subject
of tuberculosis had been taken up
as a special department by the Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs.
"The disease," he said, "attacks tne
poor and the wealthy alike, but it is
mainly a disease of the poor, because
of insufficient nourishment, crowded
conditions and unsanitary surround
ings. There is 14 times as much
tuberculosis around the Battery in
New York than is found in the dis
trict of Central Park."
Tuberculosis, he explained, is a
communicable disease .and Dr. Kress
showed later that a single person may
give out a billion bacilli in a day in
expectoration and finer exhalations.
Dr. Bridge explained that all ex-
' pectorations snouia ue ucsuujcu, mai
in violent fits of coughing the patient
should hold a cloth in front of, his
mouth, and that the cloth should be
destroyed. Carpets and rugs, Dr.
Bridge denounced as a physiological
abominations, and the wearing of a
mustache or beard by a tubercular
patient an unforgivable crime. Sun
light and air were found to be better
disinfectants than chemicals.
The important thing in a case of
''tuberculosis, in the estimation of Dr.
: Pottenger, is that the patient should
know his condition, that he may take
the proper precautions to guard
against the infection of his friends.
With these precautions, he declared,
a tubercular person could be a per
fectly safe companion, with no need
of his being shunned and becoming
an outcast. Dr. Pottenger also stated
that tuberculosis is not hereditary. It,
is in every case transmitted by care-
' lessness after birth, and is also a
curable disease.
He described the helping station
that has been in existence for 18
months in Los Angeles for the benefit
of tuberculosis victims. The poor are
treated in a free clinic, and given in
formation for protecting those with
whom they come in contact. Over
200 have been treated at this station
during the past 18 months.
"This work," said the physician,
"has cost a little over $500, and that
to give to protect itself against this
insidious foe."
He spoke of the international con
gress of associations for the preven
tion and cure of tuberculosis, to be
held in Washington next September,
and expressed the hope that the ex
hibits there might be brought to Los
Angeles as an object lesson.
Dr. Kress showed stereopticon
views revealing miserable housing
conditions and other causes that pre-J
IUnnt t, tuberculosis. He said that
England has reduced the death rate
from tuberculosis 50 ner cent in the
pasty "50 years by improving the hous
ma conditions. The previous sneak
er had already stated that New York
still has 360.000 widovless rooms,
"and yet we wonder why people ri
ill," he remarked.
One of the best means of prcven
tion mentioned by each speaker is i
city ordinance requiring compulsory
resistration and fumigation. Th
registration by the city of tuberculo
sis cases does not entail any publicity
or inconvenence to people affected,
but it makes possible the supervision
of cases that are not practicing th
proper preventive precautions. Com
pulsory fumigation in case of patients
