Au Important Paper by Charleston Doctor*. This widespread and all pervading disease is probably at this period eu-i gaging the attention of all guardians of public health to far greater degree than any other malady. It is a disease conlind to no locality. It is prevalent in the Artie Circle and under the Southern Cross. Wherever mankind Can live incic luu iuc luuniuiusin bacillus tbrive. There are a few localities where there seems to be a comparative immunity?certain high hills in Mexico, as atZacatacas, and m New Mexico, and Colorado, and the Kngardine, but in almost every place where teeming millions live there the baccillus finds a congenial and everpresent source for its propagation. So with such an organic cause naturally where the harvest is ever ready the keen anxiety of guardians of the general health of municipalities is engaged to limit the spread of consumption. During the past twenty years great advance his been made in the knowledge of consumption, and greater and greater publicity his been giveu to scientific methods for its limitation?popular information signifying that the disease is propagated by the bacillus tuberculosis has been spread through countless channels, and that the all-nervad ing all-compelling necessity exiBts for the destruction or thorough disinfection of the sputa of the diseased subject. Every person affected with this disease become a burden on the breadwinners of a long and expensive fight is at once put in motion. Few survive and many perish, and evrey tuberoulous patient is a menace to every member ofa household. So infinitely small and minute is this bacillus that when dried it floats in the air as the mote floats in the sunbeam. It is taken into the lungs as the air is inhaled and it is absolutely imperceptible. Is it not, therefore, natural and proper that a ceaseless combat should be carried out with so insidious a foe? Every household should realize that every member who has tuberculosis is a menace every other member of the home circle. The remedy is at hand. Des troy the sputa, and do it at once. The tubercle bacillus is one seventhousandth of an inch in lenth : in breath one hundred and twenty-five thousandth of an inch. It varies somewhat, but the above is an average statement of the dimensions of this infinitely small parasite. Let us see what is the harvest in Charleston for one year of the tubercle bacillus : There were deaths from consumption, 22 whites, 126 black and colored : mirrasmus,4 whites, 54 black and colored ; tuberculosis, 18 whites, 68 black and colored. Total, whites 44 ; black and colored 248. Two hundred and ninety-two deaths due to the great white plague and its allied diseases. One death in every six of the deaths in Charleston due to one cause. There were more deaths among the white race from the tubercle bacillus than there were from typhoid fever, diphtheria and scarlet fever. There were more deaths among the colored race from the tubercle bacillus than from diptheria, scarlet fever, typhoid fever,cancer and kidney di-ease, and this tubercle bacillus is a specific, well known form of bacterial species. Is it not time to push all our energies towards, its destruction ? One of the most important public acts should be to forbid the entry or admission of a tuberculous patient into the public or private hospital. Provision should be made by every municipal government for a separate ward for all such causes. Outside of the requirements of the Christian dispensation for us to succor the poor and the needy it is a necessity for our own protection in limiting the spread of a dangerous malady. We submit a circular issued by this department January 1, 1895, for the guidance of all interested in this crusade against consumption : Department of Health. Charlestion, S. C. January 1, 1895. Consumption is a disease which can be taken from others and is not simply caused by colds. A cold may make it easier to take the disease. It is usually caused by germs which enter the body with the air breathed. The matter which consumptives cough or spit up contains the germs in great numbers? frequently millions are discharged in a single day. This matter, spit upon the floor, wall or elsewhere, is apt to dry, become pulverized and float in the air as dust. The dubt contains the germs, and thus they enter the body with the air breathed. The breath of a consumptive does not contain the germs and will not produce the disease. A well person catches the disease from a consumptive only by in some way taking in the matter coughed up by the consumptive. Consumption can often be cured if its nature is recognized early and proper means are taken for its treatment. In a majority of cases it is not a fatal disease. It is not dangerous for other persons to live with a consumptive if the matter coughod up by the consumptive is at once destroyed. This matters should not be spit upon the floor, carpet, stove, wall or street, or anywhere excpt into a cup kept for that purpose. The cup should conlain water, so that the mater may not dry and should be emptied into the closet at least twice a day and carefully washed with hot water. Great care should be taken by a consumptive that his handn, face and clothing do not become soiled with the matter coughed up. If they do become soiled they should be at once washed with hot soap and water. When consumptives are away from home the matter coughed up may be received on cloths, which should be at once burned on returniug home. If hand kerchiefs are used (worthless cloths which can be burned are far better) they should be boiled in water by themselves before being washed. It is better for a consumptive to sleep alone, and his bed clothiug and personal clothing should be boiled and washed separately from the clothing belonging to other people. Whenever a person is thought to be suffering from consunption, the name and address should be sent at once to the health department, on a postal card, with a statement of this fact. Frequently a person suffering from consumption may not only do his usual work without giving the disease to others, but may al?o get well if the matter coughed up is properly destroyed. Rooms that have been occupied by consumptives should be thoroughly A 3 ?1_ t 1 uieuLieu, auuuutu, WUlieWttSUHU, painted or papered before they are agained occupied. Carpets, rugs, bedding, etc; from rooms which have been occupied by consumptives should be disinfected. The health department should be notified when they will be sent for, disinfected and returned to the owner free of charge, or, if he so desires they will be destroyed. By order of the board of health. T. R. McGahan, Chairman, H. B. Horlbeek, M.
