Bemidji, meeting nights | d and fourth | MUST CRUSH WHITE PERIL Dr- Walsh Declares Cure of Consump- tion Less Important Than Stamp- ing Out of Disease. URGES DESTRUCTION OF GERMS There is no cure for tuberculosis, i and probably never will be. accepting i the word “cure” in the sense of some special medicine. A disease prevented is better than cured. for no one is so well off physically or financially after any illness, and particularly does this truth apply to tuberculosis. The sue- cessful prevention of a disease does away with any need for its ‘*‘cure.” This is well exemplitied in the case of yellow fever. We have never succeed- ed in finding a cure for that former scourge of the south, but we have done far better. We have wiped out the disease bodily, bag and baggage. by simple preventive methods. So writes Dr. F. C. Walsh in the Technical World Magazine, and he de- clares that notwithstanding the *‘op- timists,” the disease is on the increase. He singles out and lays great stress on the fact that consumption is a conta- gious disease and on the contention that it is not contracted to any great extent through infected milk or even by the using the drinking cups that consumptives use or through the “spit- ting nuisance.” Its spread is through the infection of the habitation. Here is one of his parables: Brown had moved in the month of May into a house in another part of the town where he had always lived. By fall he had contracted tuberculosis. It was discovered later that several different families who had occupied this same house in succession had lost several members from tuberculosis. No attempt had ever been made to disin- fect the house. Brown went to a far western state, pitched his tent on a certain spot, and never made any change from that one spot until his death. Note that fact. As a result the soil over which he slept night after night became saturated with the accumulated germs which he expelled in coughing, so that he was continually at night rebreathing into his system the very *seeds” which cause the dis- { ease. He was repoisoning himself nightly and dido’t know it. His sys- tem would have been able to throw off the original *“germ poison” which it contracted, but it was not strong enough to withstand a new dose of the poison every night. Had he chang- ed the location of his tent daily he could have slept each night in an at- mosphere practically germ free. Jones is another victim. He goes to the same state. He has an idea that he can get along without any tent and sleeps with only the stars above, rolled up in his blanket. He naturally moves from place to place, each day sleeping on new and different ground each night. He ends by being cured. Smith has the disease and goes to the west. He feels and looks in per- fect health long before a year is gone. He _returns home, satisfied that he is gurod Jn less than four months be is agnin in the tenacious clutches of the T'hEré is a lesson in this. The open ajr 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 blame 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 Brown. How about Smith? The case of Smith is of the greatest importance. He had recovered, you will remember, and returned to his home feeling fine— back to what? To the very same plague ridden room in which he had { first contracted the disease—a room i reeking with tubercular germ life and which had been occupied. it was learned later, by five different con- sumptives at various times. The 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. He should have sought pew 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 are 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 brings out is that consumption must be prevented rather than cured: that prevention is easy and cheap and lies in disinfection. This, in the case of the consumptive’s quarters, he insists, should be at least once a week. The formula is simple: “Fumigate every room in the house with a vapor given off by heating | formaldehyde; wash all the floors, windows and woodwork with mild so- lutions of corrosive sublimate and ‘water.” Fresh air, either at home or elsewhere, he establishes, is in itself insufficient. He reaches the conclusion that the very existence of the hope of a *‘cure” has been responsible for increase of the disease. He urges people to flee from consumption by killing it in the germ that lurks in house or ground. Think all you speak, but speak not all you think.—Delaune.

The timber has been cut and the land must be sold or given away as is practically being done at the above terms and prices.
