IS CONSUMPTION CONTAGIOUS?
To THE E0tTO OP THK EXPBKSS:
Plague has disappeared from Chris
tian countries. Smallpox is almost
gone, and cholera la practically enn
qtiored. Consumption, however, is
still with us, and la to4ay tbe moat
deadly enemy of mankind. If we take
a map of the world and color It accord
ing to the prevalence of consumption,
It will be colored deepest where the
population Is densest, and the only
clear spots will be the arctic and
antarctic circles, deserts and high
mountain regions wberehunuii beings
are fewest.
Iu Great Britain 70,000 die each year
at ages between fifteen and forty-five,
the most useful period of human exist
ence. In the United State In 1880
there died of consumption 91,000, or
18 to every 1,000 persons, Going back
thirty years we find tbe proportion to
be the same. In 1890 the deaths must
have been 117,000. ' '
Now a great many people do not
believe that consumption la contagious.
Iu one sense It is not, in another It Is
highly so. As long as the sputtum of
a consumptive patient Is kept moist it
is not dangerous, but when the patient
expectorates on the floor and It is
tramped under foot and gets dry and
the dust or particles float In the air of
the room, then there is danger of the
germs being Inhaled by any person
who may enter the room, and it makes
no difference as to the health of the
party thus exposed, as the germs will
attack the most robust as well as the
weak, as the germs Inhaled by anyone
will lay dormant for a long time and
wait until a favorable time In which
to grow and develop. This occurs
when the patient la afflicted with a
cold, then the lungs become Inflamed
and It la then that the tubercle baocllus
grow and multiply by the thousands.
This explains why so many people die
after taking a bad cold.
In England and Germany, no per
son la allowed to ride on a car with
healthy persons who is afflicted with
consumption. A special car U provid
ed for their accommodation. 1 there
j was a alugle case of smallpox reported
I iu Lebaoou. what Brent alarm It would
J . "
cause, but no one seems to be alarmed
about the dread destroyer Consump
tion, and still where smallpox destroys
Its hundreds, consumption destroys
thousands.
Now a word to those who have con
sumptives In their house. So not eat
of dishes that tnust be used by them.
Do not occupy the same room at night
with them. Give them all the pure
air you can. Have receptacles for
them to spit in; pour water in the same
and add blue vitriol, carbolic acid, or
some other good disinfectant. Change
frequently and never allow the patient
to spit on the bandkerchief. This is
one of the moat dangerous habits on
the part of the patient.
. , I write this for the benefit of peoplo
who do not think this disease is a com
municable one, and I may write again
on the subject, as I believe It Is my
duty to my fellow man to do so. Tbe
time is near at hand that this dread
disease wilt be feared and dreaded
worse than smallpox or cholera. In
Michigan the facts laid down in this
are being enforced, and as a result,
people recognize the extreme danger
of consumption.

OBITUARY.
Our dear child and beloved daughter,
Mrs. Rhoda A. Williams, was born July
3, 1868, and died July 16, 1894, aged 20
years and 13 daya. Her place of nativity
has been in and near Lebanon, Oregon,
at which place she received her very
bright education and entered into the
active duties incident in the battle of
life, with her estimable and devoted
husband, Mr. A.-G. Williams, to whom
she gave the guardianship! her only
son, little Everett, who is 6 years old,
the foundation oi whose education his
dear mother laid. May God water it
until she shall meet him in glory, where
the brightest evidence on earth' proves
that her soul 18 now resting. Their mar
riage took place on Nov. 21, 188. Prior
to which time she became identified
with the Cumberland Presbyterian Sab
bath school and church, to which ohnrob
her parent then belonged; firsts pupil,
then a teacher, then a member of Young
People's Christian- Endeavor society.
She was also a member of the Ladies'
Aid Society. ' Aggressive, consistent,
unwavering, never leaving her first love,
never changing her faith, doctrine or
creed, a rare jewel ; her aspirations, to
disseminate useful knowledge and liter
ature. . . ,
She loved the dear old doorstep and
hearthstone, father and mother, brothers
and sisters. at which place she placed
her house in order, asked for Jesus'
hand, as did sinking Peter, and laid ber
armor down. Very audibly she told us
that He came, and that this morning
she would walk with Him, Then today
with Jesus she Is walking.
Her HlnesB, in brief : In very early
school life, according to her own state
ment, In attending school in bad weather
and over bad roadB, the contracted cold,
which developed into greater constitu
tional weakness, and finally into pulmo
nary disease, which has baffled the skill
of anything that earth can do.
Thus ended a brief and nseful life.
Truly our circlo again ia broken. Yes,
again we are bereft. Will God accept
this token of our love to her, this trib
ute to the immortal dead? And may all
the actions of our lives lead ub to God,
the living head, and may we, like her,
triumphant, rise to walk with Jesus be
yond the skies! HtaFATOia.
