DR. IRVIN AGAIN ® HEADS T. B. SOCIETY, Reports Presented at Anoua Meeting Last Night The annual meeting of the Tuber- culo Relief Society was held in Booth's block last evening, and the follqwing officers were elected: President, Dr. J. 8. Irvin; president, Mr. E. C. Goodwi tary, Mrs. J, H. Robinson: Mr. N. G. Curtis; Board of managers, A. Buol, Dr. T. Eben Reeks, P. F. King, C. B. Parsons, L. W. Young, Mrs, 8. T Goss, Miss Marion Sheldon, Miss Flora Humphrey, Mrs. E Cooper, Mrs. F. A. Searles, Mrs. H. C. M. Thomson, Mrs. G. W. Traut, and Mrs, C. W, Upson. The president's report was as fol- 10OWS ‘Last vear this city had 51 deaths from tuberculosis. It has been ac- !-rplcd as o standard in health depart- vice- nents that the number of clinically ctive cases ou tuberculosis is ten times the death rate in @ community. ©On this basés we should then expect 510 cases of clinical tubercosis in New Britaln for this past year. Of these, 142 I been reported to the tuber- culosis department of the doctors, which représent mostly advanced cases. The cases reported have cost the city $9,949.00, which cost does not reprosent anything but the final care of these cases and overhead cost to the office of the health board. The difference in the number of which we have no recerd would not individual- Iy cdost families @s much as these moribund cases, and yet figuring on #uch ones of these as we know about unofficially and the known course of the disease, we may expect about the same number to be reported and the same number of deaths next year. In other words, going back to the flnan- cial standard of the situation, we must expect that 268 cases will be re- ported In future years. ““These cases average all the way up from cases of very slight disability to the condition that we find in the yerage caso which ls reported to the berculosis department, In which ‘aso the average length of life is only & fow months, It is therefore fair to striko an average and state that 368 cases of moderate clinical tuberculosis whose disability means a total cost to the family in loss of earning power doctor bills, extra expenses due to partial invalidism and the = accidents which folow early matigue of those working of an average of $1.50 per day, which we feel is & very conserva- tive estimate, The total of this esti- mate for & year would be $201,480.00 which s quite confervative. In all of these expenses we may conaider ourselves as in no way different from & wselected typical manufucturing city of the New Eng- Jand state, which was selected by the United uut:i<muc Health sorvice and the big Insurance companies ak a typieal manufacturing city, large enough to be a typical, but small enough to handle, and Where it ‘was found last year that one per cent of a population of 16,000 had active tuberculosis in some form or other. We are entitled to estimate that such a su in New Brit would give fairly equivalent results. And on that basix, the total umber suffering actual physical de- bression from tuberculin from some small or large lesion will be in the city of New Britain 5,900 approxi- mately. Subtracting from this our previous total of 410, we have 5,490 cases of mild and early tuberculosts of various types. It is only fair to estimate that the average cost of this depression in doctors’ bills purchase of medicinesy both prescribed and patent, loss of earning power due to weakness, and numerous accldents due to early fatigue from the presence of the tuberculo-toxin would be not less than $50@per day each. This would be a total for the year of $1,001,9256.00, provided that' all of these ecarly cases were all young people of working age. “However, some of these will be of school age and a few younger. In this case we may either subtract if weo neglect the loss of education for these children in terms of carning power; or we might add a considerable amount to this loss i wo accept the estimate of the United States Bureau of Education as to joss of earning power of children due p losses of education at the school & “Let us consider now the deaths and the cases on the city's records. “There were 51 deaths of tubercu- losis In the city last year. The aver- age value of human life, according to the state compensation burecau and other institutional estimates is $5,000. Our 41 deaths at that rate would be $266,000, funcral expenses, taking an average of $100 per funeral would be $5,100. “We have 101 cases of advanced tuberculosis, whose doctor bills, ex- ira expenses for food, nursing care per day average t least $2 per day. This would give us a total of $73,730. “The cost of tuberculosis to the city is as follows: “Running expenses and relief, $9,- 949; cost of estimate on clinical early cases, $201,480; cost of estimate on Framingham basi $1,001.92 cost "Horlick’s RIGINAL future | 1 | Of deaths, $255,000; cost $5,100; cost of advanced cases, $73,- | 730; totn) $1,647,184. Of 56 cases in sanatoria, the cost to the state, above what New Britain pays is $15 per week or $43,680. The nurse's report is: ried over from previous yeac 280, ‘new cases 142, number of cases cared for 422, cases discharged 46. number of deaths 51, cases now under care 328, cases at sanatoria March 1, 1921, 45, cases sent to sanatoria 56, cases now at sanatoria 78, cases supplied with milk 16, reg- ular nursing care given to 68, num- ber arrested cases 1, number ap- parently arrested cases 12, number quiescent cases 3, number returncd to regular occupations 26, number improved cases 10, number of chil- dren under observation 156, num- ber calls made by nurse 2,391, num- ber of calls at office 447, number clinics held 6, number patients ex- amined at clinic 388, number nation- alities represented 23, number fumi- gations and rooms ordered renovat- ed 36. “During the past year our ecfforts have been devoted to the care of the advanced case. Our records con- sist mainly of that type of patient. | This work has been carried on against innumerable difficulties, both for the nurse and the family. There has been great exposure, neglect or undue and strain upon other members of the houschold, all of whiich conditions are contributory causes toward the disease claiming another victim. “Home supervision cannot be con- sidered a satisfactory substitute for hospital accommodation. The nurse’s efforts, no matter how thorough and conscientious, can ‘never remove the danger. The cldsest supervision is inadequate and futile. This, then, brings us to the great need of hos- pitals for advanced cases. “Effective tuberculosis work must place emphasis on the control of the last stuge case which is most dangerous to society. Our greatest problem lies in the segregation of the advanced case. The waiting list at the various state sanatoria is al- ways heavy and it sometimes means months after application has been made before a vacancy occurs, dur- ing which time the patient has to be cared for at home with inadequate accommodation and facilities. There is little hope of protecting the chil- dren of' a family where a case exists when we have to wait eight or nine weeks for a bed in the infirmary. Also, the advanced case requires fre- quent visits to insure adequate super- vision in regard to instructions given, the nursing care requires a great deal of time, Were the problem of the care of the advanced case eliminated from the work, considerable time could be devoted to educational pur- of funerals, Cases car- . “It would probably cost less to build and maintain special wards in connection with the hospital than to erect and support an entirely new institution. Furthermore, these wards would offer good teaching centers where both doctors and nurses could acquire a better knowledge of tuber- culosis. The day Is coming when all general hospitals will be obliged tor admit tuberculous patients so let the City of New Britain lead. “During the past year, the amount of $5,896 was expended on sanatorium care by the board of health and board of public charities. “With our present knavledle. time and money cannot be better spent than in the effort to obtain hos- pital care for the advanced case. “The great object of every heaith agency is the same, namely, the pre- vention of diseasc. This is done to some extent by the nurse wWhen she visits a patient. She points out the sources of infectibn t6 the remaining members of the family and instructs the patient how to care for himself and protect his family from further infection. “Articles dealing with talks on tuberculosis, on sanatoria and their value, on tuberculosis specialists when inserted in° a newspaper will reach a far larger number of people than any other method. “Now let us take the children. Our work must begin with the chil- dren, for it has been proved that nearly every case of Tuberculosis in young people can be traced to an in- fection in childhood. Children must be taught health habits. The na- tional organization has formulated such a programme which Is known as the “Modern Health Crusade.” More than four million children have become crusaders. Largely home | work, the crusade lnks the home and the school and, reaching beyond the children, teaches the parents. “A campaign for the suppression of tuberculosis among cattle is now being conducted throughout the country. This campaign should re. ceive the hearty support of all anti- tuberculogis associatioms, because it also means a campaign to provide a safe milk supply for human con- sumption. “Dr. Lyman, the superintendent of Wallingford sanaterium in a paper read before the meeting on the hearing for the emnforcement of the law for tuberculin testing of cattle brought out the facts that in chil. dren between 5 and 16, 36 per cent of the tuberculous glands, 46 per cent of the abdomina]l tuberculosis, 49 per cent of generalised tuberculosis showed bacilli of bovine type. “We readily appreciate from the above statistics that bovine tuber- culosis is very prevalent and it is imperative that steps should be taken to eliminate it. “In eonclusion, 1 wish to thank thc members of the board for their kind co-operation. : Respectfully submitted, VENTLIE F.

THURSDAY, MAY 5, ALLIES DESPATCH NOTE TO GERMANY (Continued from First Page.) on the whole assets of the German empire and the German states. Ulumatum Signed. London, May 5 (By the Associated the supreme council of the Allies, shortly after 10 o’clock this morning, signed an ulti- | matum to be dispatched to Germany. which embodied the definite repara- tion terms of the entente, gave details of the guarantees to be exacted and demanded that Germany accept or re- ject the allied terms before May 12. Dr. Sthamer, German ambassador here, was immediately summoned to Dowfing strcet and upon his arrival Wwas handed a document containing the ultimatum to Germany. While the ultimatum and the protocol signed by the council today were in the form of one document, only the former was given the German representative. The allied reparations commission will, however, deliver the whole document to the German war burdens cogjmis- sion in Pariy tomorrow. Documents Are Signed. Prime Minister Lloyd Georze and Jaspar, Belgian foreign minister, signed the English and French texts of the ultimatum first and were fol- lowed by Premier Briand of France, Count Sforza, Italian foreign minister, and Baron Hayashi, Japanese am- bassador to Great Britain. Immediately after the signing of the documents, the French and-Ital- jan representatives left for Paris and Rome. German Cabinet Quits. The resignation of the Fehrenbach ministry at Berlin on the eve of tha signing of the ultimatum, has brought o nmew element into the situation. It was said last night that the Ger- man president had asked Chancellor Fehrenbach's cabinet to continue to function in “dealing ‘with current af- fairs.”” This the cabinet consented to do. Dr. Gustay Stresemann, leader of the people's party in Germany, was mentioned as being the probable suc- cessor of Konstantine Fehrenbach as chancellor. He was among the most bitter critics of the Fehrenbach min- istry and his party was reported early in March as exerting considerable pressure upon the government to bring about a break with the entente.
