Campaign Against Tuberculosis En listo Workers from All ( lusses. New York, June 22.-Special: Confirming the recent statement of Dr. William Osier, that the antl-tu berculosls campaign ls no longer a battle for the doctors only, the Na tional Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis issues a statement to-day, in which it is shown that over 4 5 per cent of those enlisted in the White Plague War are laymen. The, National Association's mem bership, consisting of nearly 2,600, and representing every State In the Union, is composed of 54.G per cent doctors and 45.4 per cent laymen. In the local and State associations, however, throughout the country, the percentage of laymen averages considerably over 5 O per cent. The National Association declares that this fact is peculiarly significant, as indicating the great popularity of the anti-tuberculosis movement. Twenty-five years ago, when th? campaign against tuberculosis was started in this county by Dr. Edward L. Trudeau, even the doctors laugh ed at the movement. Gradually the medical profession realized the pos sibilities of an organized fight against tuberculosis, and in 1904, the Na tional Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis was formed by the American Medical As sociation. At that time the percent age of laymen in the Association was only 12.9, and very few persons were interested in the campaign against this disease. To-day, according to recent lig ures published by the National Asso ciation, churches, schools, labor un ions, women's clubs, fraternal or ganizations, and State Legislatures, interesting fully 8,000,000 people, are all allied in the campaign against tuberculosis, and in addition to these, laymen of all classes of soci ety, and In every branch of social and industrial life, are uniting against this one common foe. Every day sees hundreds of new recruits In the war, and every day brings new methods for the fighting of the plague. The National Associa tion predicts that if the present de gree of Interest is maintained, within five years everybody In the United States will have, been informed on the way to prevent and cure tuber culosis, and concerning the infectious nature of the disease. Two things In particular are need ed, and for these the National Asso clrtlon ls working in every way. TL y are a complete registration of tuberculosis cases, and the further isolation of dangerous advanced cases of consumption. Wick Blue Ham ?9 without equal.
