WILL WAGE WAR Against Disease is Resolve of State Medical Association. MEETING FAIR WEEK I To Preent Tuberculosis the Associa tion Will Carry \jut the Plans For mulated at Tuberculosis Congress Recently Held in Washington?Pre liminary Action Already Taken. As a result of the tuberculosis congress held in Washington re cently, definite steps will be taken in South Carolina to prevent the spread of the dread disease. The State Medical association will be called to meet some time during the fair for the puropse of formulating plans to bring about this result. This meeting will be called by Dr. John L. Dawson or Charleston, who is president of the association and who was one of the delegates to the tuberculosis congress. Dr. Dawson will have a definite plau to propose to the association for spread of tuberculosis. Dr. Dawson familiarized himself at the congress with the methods for the reduction of mortality among tuberculosis pa tients and will be able 10 give th3 doctors of the State some valuable information along this line. South Carolina was well repre sented at the tuberculosis congress. Among those who atended were the following: Drs. C. Fred Williams, State health officer; J. H. Mclntosh, W. M. Lester and R. A. Lancaster of Columbia; Dr. C. C. Gamble, Ab beville; D.r H. T. Hall, Aiken; Dr. Robert Wilson, chairman board n health, Charleston; Dr. J. L. Dawson. Charleston; Dr. J. Mercer Green. Charleston; Dr. W. V. Brockington. Kingstree; 'Dr. C. B. Earle, Green ville; Dr. W. A. Tripp, Easley; Dr. J. E. Allgood, Liberty; J. E. Teague. Laurens; C. F. McGann, Aiken; Dr. Walter Cheyne, Sumter; Dr. A. M. Brailsford, Mullins, Dr. n. J. Walker, lorkville. At this conference there was given an exhibition of what is being done throughout the country and in the foreign lands to prevent tue spread of tuberculosis. There were shown all the appliances used and interest ing papers were read on the disease and the best possible methods of cure and prevention. Representa tives were present from this country and Europe and among the number were some of the foremost physic ians of the world. Valuable Exhibits. Perhaps the most important of all the exhibits was the showing >f the work that is being carried on in this country to prevent tuberculosis. And other countries, too, had their exhibits, the one from Germany being [about the b9st shown. , Dr. C .F. Williams of this city was one of the interested physicians present at the congress and he has brought back with him a greater de sire than ever to aid in the gre;t work of reducing and preventing tu berculosis among the people of South Carolina. Dr. Williams considers two of the most Important thin-;.; done at the congress the following principles, which the congress went on record as being in favor of: 1. That the best means of reduc ing mortality from consumption s the segregation of all tuberculosis patients in institutions specially This woman says Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound saved ber life. Read her letter. Mrs. T. C. TVilladsen, of Manning, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkhani: " I can truly say that Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound saved my life, and 1 cannot express my gratitude to you in words. For years I suffered with the worst form.- of female com plaints, continually doctoring and spending lots of money for medicine without help. I wrote you for advice, followed it as directed, and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it has restored me to perfect health. Had it not been for you I should have been in my grave to-day. I wish every suffering woman would try it." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for iemale ills, arid has positively cured thousands ol women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera tion, libroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bear, log-down feeling, flatulency, indiges tion,dizziness,or nervous prostration. Why don't you try it ? Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lyn a, Mass.

Animals Spread Contagion. This transmission of tuberculosis from animal to human being is an extremely important matter,, espec ially Inasmuch as it affects this State very much and this spread of the disease can largely be avoided. Speaking of this matter, Dr. Wil liams says: "This form of tuber culosis is brought about by tho drinking of the milk of cows. To prevent the spread of the disease all dairy cattle should be tested for tuberculosis and eliminated from the herd when the test proves positive. South Carolina dairies have shown about 3 per cent of the herd are tuberculous. A committee has been appointed by the South Carolina Lie Stock association to draft a suitable bill at the next session of the legislature to eliminate as far as practical tuberculosis in cattle and to prevent the importation of tuber culosis cattle into this State. The object of this bill is to make ail railroad companies handling cattle i to this State get a bill of health on the cattle shipped here. I heard while in the North that there were many beards of cattle in that sec tion that had as many as 80 to 90 per cent tuberculosis cattle in their midst. These cattle are shipped into this State from the North and West and there is consequently brought here the diseased animals that in time affect the rest of thcj herd." Educate the People. It is generally conceded that the best method of prevention of tuber culosis and other communicable dis eases is the education of the people. At the meeting of the board of edu cation held last year the following recommendations were made by the State bo?rd of health: Crowded Settlements. "First. We would recommend that the teaching of physiology and hygiene be made compulsory in tho public schools of the State. "Second. We wouia recommend that all applicants for a teacher'.", certificate in this State be required to pass an examination on physiol ogy and hygiene as a part of the regular examination for teachers. As many graduates of colleges are given certificates on presenting thier di plomas, we recommend that such ap plicants be required to show thai physiology and hygiene were a parr of the course at the college from which said applicants received the diploma. If these branches were not a part of the course, require the ap plicant to pass a regular examina tion on thfse branches. "Third. We would recommend that all of the colleges under the control of the State be required to teach physiology and hygiene as a part of the regular course. "Fourth. We would recommend that the book or books to be used as text books for the teaching of these branches bear the approval of the State board of health. "Fifth. We would recommend that the teaching of the moans of preventing the dangerous communi cable diseases be made compulsory in the public schools of South Caroli na, and we recommend further that the book new used as a school book for the teaching of physiology and hygiene be used for this purpose until the tSaL'i board of health can prepare data. "Sixth. We .would recommend that a physician be the teacher of physiology and hygiene in the high schools of this State when it Is pos sible to obtain the services of one for this purpose. "Seventh. We would recommend that in arranging the course for the State and county summer schools that a course of lectures on the means of preventing the dangerous commu nicable disease be a part of this course. "Eighth. We would recommend that the State board of health shall I name the diseases to be considered as dangerous communicable diseas es. "Ninth. We would recommend that you use you influence to have the trustees of the schools procure vision charts and have the teachers inform themselves how to exnmimj the children to see if their eyes ami ears are normal." At the tuberculosis congress It was very much emphasized that the J best way to prevent tuberculosis is by the education of the people. The resolutions of the State board of health were received with enthu siasm by the board of education, but nothing was done In the matter. Tho I board of education will again put the I matter before the hoard of health, urging that the study of hygiene) land physiology be made a part, of the course in ail the high schools of the State. Crowded Settlements. Out of the less than 1,000.000 whites In this State 12;',000 are em ployed in the cotton mills. It. in evitable that in the crowded mill districts tuberculosis is easily trans mitted from one person to another. It is estimated that in this State there 'are from 1.500 to 2,000 deaths each year from tuberculosis, so thai ("something must be done" is the slogan of meuical men. Among the negroes It is said that tuberculosis is decreasing within recent yenrs I probably because of the out door lir' and the better habits that the rar. is now leading. The number or i ?? borcnlosis patients among negroes is still quite larsjo, however, and the methods of prevention of the disease are an important step in this State, where more than half the popula tion is of the colored race. And it is highly important that the negr>. should be taught in seme measure how to bring about a prevention as far as posible of this disease. Appalling Figures. To give an idea of the cost of tuberculosis in lives, disability, un happiness and money would show how important it is that the means of preention of the disease as shown at the tuberculosis congress should be carried out as far as possible. The death rate from tuberculosis in I all its forms in 'he United States Is estimated at 164 per 10,000 of popu lation and the number of de^th In one year?.1906?was 138,000. At this rate, it is said, 5,000,000 people of those living in this country at the present time will die of tuberculosis. The money cost of tuberculosis. It is estimated, exceeds $8,000 per death, these figures including cap italized earning power lost by death and netting a total of $1,100,000,000 per year. And of this cost $440, 000,000 falls upon other than those who are consumptive. It is said that tho erection of isolation hospitals for incurables in all probably the best method and most profitable at pres sent for reducing the cost of tuber culosis. Police Power. "That we will ultimately have tr place officers in mills and other such institutions for the protection of health is a condition that we are now facing," said Dr. Williams. "Take the mills, for instance, in them are a large number of worl^rs and these are deprived of one of the greatest of all the recognized advantages to health?fresh air. The windows are kept down and of course tho air in the rooms becomes foul and leads to bad results in health." But here again is the conflict be tween the mill owners and the oper atives. Should the windows be left open, in many cases, the operatives would close them, as there are cer tain conditions that fresh air brings about in the yarn that makes is less valuable as a product. It is the con sensus of opinion among medical men that certain police powers should be exercised in the protection of health and that the State should take cog uizance of these necessities. All of these matters will be taken up and discussed at the meeting of the State Medical association to be held fair week. The association hopes to accomplis hmuch in the mas ter of the prevention of tuber culosis in this State and will strain every effort to bring about good re sults. * DOING THEIR DUTY.
