'HE OAISATIO PREVENTION AM) CTREOF CONSUMPTION. Dr. Robert Wiloou'H Lrrlno to the ivlo lub of CharleHion?The Tor iblo RnvnicrPi of I ho Disease c'An b? itnycd by Proper Sanitation. About two weeks ago Dr. Rober Vilson, Jr., delivered a lecture before he Civic Club, of Charleston, in the all room at the St. John Hotel, or he subject of tuberculois, its causatior trevention and cure, which was sc ull of wipe count-el that it ought to b( ead by every man, woman and child u the community. In discussing the roblem of the prevention of consumpion it 13 first essential to your attenion some of the fundamental facts ol ts causation, for intelligent effori :iust necessarily be based upon a cleai nmprehension of the factors which otermi a<; the origin and the spread I' the disease. Twentythree years ago )r. Koch discovered in the sputum ol onsumptives a bacillus which he rearded as the specific causative agent; nd since then his claim has received ? ? -x A OUnUHDl uoDunjuauou. xujo ujguusm is the one factor without which DDSumption never occurs?it is the ne invariable cause, Do not underhand me to mean that its presence is ae only condition necessary. On the ontrary, the germ may, and as a fact iften does, find lodgement in the ssues of the human body without roducing any evidence of disease, he soil must be favorable for its rowth. Such a favorable state of soil i produced bj' hereditary weakness, >o free indulgence in alcoholic food, 3 well as a variety of other iDfluehces. tut no matter what depressing influnces may be operative, unless the erm be present consumption will ever occur. The study of the prevenon of consumption requires us, there>re, to take account both of the conitions which affect the soil and of lose which concern the germ itself, fi were possble to prevent the germs rom leaving the consumptive patient r to destroy them before they could uter another individual the whole rolern would be solved andconsumpon would soon be a disease of history, his being true, our first duty evident. / is to study tbe germ, its location ) the body of the patient, the mode fits egress and the media by means * ?u 1-l? 5 * ?n?r?a unfpunw i n tr% nt hora I WLIIUU Jtgaiuo vuuuuw t is not my purpose thin evening to ilk about tbe germs itself, but in assing I want to mention one practiil fact. Direct sunlight will kill thie rganism in fifteen minutes, while in darkened room it has been found live after two years. Aud now many eople there are who habitually shut ut from their houses this powerful estroyer of evil which nature gives ) freely and so abundantly to all! The germs of consumption may >dge anywhere in body and produce letase?in the brain, in the liver, in le kidneys or in the lungs, which if y far their most frequent site. As ing as they remain in the tissues of ie body they do no harm save to the ufortunate individual who may barnr them, but as soon as they find a ay of getting out consumption be)mes a dangerous communicable! isease. For this reason lung conjmption, in which the mucus, laden itli bacilli, is so abundantly disLiarged is the form that is fraught ith the greatest danger to the comluuity. The mucus is the danger. This should be impressed upon joa, :>r in these days of wide-spread germ ar people have acquired the belief tat mere association is all that is eeessary for the conveyance of the isease, that it is a positive danger to 2 near a consumptive, but the truth consumption is not contagious in lis sense. The mucus discharged in cpectorating, or as a line cloud whenJ ie patient coughs or sneezijs, falls pon the floor tor ground, dries and be)mes a part of dust, in which stat'1 it lay be inhaled by others. Or the ne cloud discharged in the act of jughing or sneezing may be inhaled irectly without first drying and beig converted into dust. A consumpve who does nol expectorate nor >ugh or sneeze is of no danger to lose with whom he comes into conict. And, further, if every consumpve would expectorate into a vessel mtaining water to prevent drying or ito one of the many varieties of spit jps tbat Have Deen aevise'i, wmvu ill keep the dangerous material safe util it can be destroyed, he would kewise run little risk of infecting ;hers of hia household. Dust howler, is not the only medium of infecon. although we believe tbat it is the tost frequeut. It has been demoi> rated that tne milk of tuberculous jws may be an important medium F infection, especially in the case of ifants and children. From this brief statement you will erceive the nature of the problem hich confronts us. We must attack ae sources of infection, which are tbe utients themselves; and secondly, the ledia of infection, of which the most nportfttlt If uubc. mus appeaia ai rst glance a simple matter, but it will ?quire unremitting effort under proer organization. The main force to be employed is Jucation. No one who consumption rilliugly infects others; it is through juorance that he does so. If he new how to avoid scattering infecion he would do it. The patient lust therefore be taught that his ex>ectoration alone renders him daugeruh. He must learn that he should ever expectorate upon the floor, nor ough or sneeze without taking the recaution ofholding a cloth in front f the mouth aud nose. He should ;aru the use of spit cups, and how to ? ? rru. j estroy tneir couiema. iue uanger f using u common drinking vessel at lie water cooler, or of interchanging able napkins must be taught him. fa man, he must be taught the daner of a beard mustache, which may arbor expectorated mucus until it as dried. He should learn, too that Linlight and fresh air and proper food re his bpst friends, and that conflneieut and alcohol are among his worst neniies. He must evercome his fear ud dread of night air, but admit it :eely at an seasous imu uis sleeping [)OIU. The public must be taught that a ousumptive is not dangerous, except rheu he coughs and expectorates, liat the disease cannot be contractor \ by mere association. We must teach them that consumptive parents do not as a matter of course be^et consumptive children; and further, that the diagonsis of consumption is not equivalent to a death warrant, but that the disease is positively curable, if treated at tbe right time and in the right way. . They must learn the same lessons of . hvcien# for nrevention of the disease that the patient must learn for its cure. Great good would be accomt plished by directing special atention ! to the instruction of school teachers. ! The fundamental facts of hygiene 1 should be taught them, especially the 1 baneful influence of imperfect venti> lation, the necessity for physical and j mental relaxation, the evils of the ' strained posture required by badly ! constructed desks, the danger of inter changing, slates; and the teachers in ' our higher institutions should learn [ to know the line which separates : healthful exercises from the unwholesome and dangerous training for athletic competition. Teachers should be able to recognize a sick child. If 1 a child with a persistent cough were sent home and refused readmission wiiuuui a jjujoiuiau b utM iiiiuaie sitftiing of the cough, a danger would be ' removed from the school and a salu- 1 tary educational influence exerted upon the qarcnts, who would inquire and learn the reasons for such regu- ' lation. 1 m i ( Are Ton Not Glad? Are you not glad that you are a farmer? If not just read what the bank- ' ers association had to say about farmers; it will do you good to read and i study all they had to say. i All the bankers and the cotton mill ; men at this meeting in Anderson that i bad anything to say about the farmer i said they were the farmer's friends. , Well now, it begins to look like i everybody in a friend to the farmer and tbatth i farmer ba9 no enemies i in other pursuits. We want to know ] what does all this Farmer's union and CottoQ Growers' association movement mean anyway? Does all ;:his uprising among the farmers mean that about the worst enemies the farmers have are among the farmers themselves? If you believe all that is said by other occupa- < tions this is about the shape of the situation and there is some truth in thitt; for it is a well' known fact that i some men in ail occupations are their i worst enemies to themselves. If the i farmers were weak in numbers and power and not able to protect their own interests they could not be accus- < ed of being their own enemies, but as t things siand the farmer is the most ] powerful craftsman on earth if they < could only organize. Well then, if I farmers do not get their rights it is all their own fault. Many of our smartest men will tell you that any common man with good muscle that knows bow to use it can make lots of money these days, but it takes the man with brains and business qualifications to the profits of his labor. We already know too much about how to sell our cotton so as to turn in the profits to our own behalf instead of allowing the non-producer to grow rich oft of our labor while we the producers grow poor. Farmers, organize and do like others, put your business into the hands of your best business men and you will be safe. DENTAL NOTICE. l)r. S. 6.

The Easley Progress says that >:|h| Providence takes care of all fools and children: After reading an editorial . ' in last week's Progress on the Farm- vjigi j er's onion, we are forced to believe tffipi that there must be something in this -?H statement, or perhaps the editor of 3 that column might have been lost htf i that time. Now there is another class of oar ] people that we would be glad for the editor of the Progress to tell us about; ,-YSwi they are a class of cotton growers ,< that thought while others were oatting acreage that it was a good time i|f| for them to cut the back and plant more cotton. These are said to be neither children nor foois. Will General Green or the devil take care of ' ;% these farmers during the rainy weath- . How do you feel about this? Have ' v||l vou ioined any of the farmers organ izatioDs to try to do something for youreelf and DeigbborB? If you cave not, you ought not to say one word i'-.^gg about not beiog able to name your ; ? own prices for your products, or kick , ^ against the cotton gamblers. On the other hand, if you have loined in with j your neighbors and tried your best to do something for farmere and did not gain all your points, you ought to feel ' WM good to know that you tried your best '-'M to do something. rbe Farmers Union Request ttranted. By a resolution of the Farmer's union of Anderson county Clemson .% College was asked to secure Mr. J. A. j -jaM Everett of Indianapolis as one of the speakers at the coming state farmers institute to be held at Clemson College August 9-14, and Mr. Everett has accepted to be present. Mr. Everett, as many farmers know Is the champioD and advocate of the .. J popular movement for farmers to make and maintain profitable prices for farm products and it is claimed by the wheat growers of the West that they ? have through organized effort raised the price of their wheat from 65 cents io $1 per bushel and these prices.have been maintained for several years by rfX concert of action among Western tiS wheat growers. Cotton growers of South Carolina jja should turn out at this state institute ind hear Mr. Everett and also have a good social and educational institute along on the business side of farming. Remember, it matters n+t how Jra cheaply you produce your cotton, if ;he speculator continues to set the prices for you regardleps of the cost -J, of production.
