Starting with the thesis that tuberculosis is the most destructive disease known, a writer remarks “ Epidemics of plague and fever are responsible for more scares and sensations, rate and a large mortality list, but and occasionally produce higher death tuberculosis works steadily year in and year out with the persistence of fate. It cannot be cured like the epidemics, and though new and promising remedies are announced every little while, the one thing of a remedial nature upon which the best medical minds agree and insist is that the greatest care should be taken to prevent its inception and spread. When the dread of the disease is so great and such extraordinary precautions are urged against it within the country, 'it is certainly reasonable that' official precautions should be taken to prevent its importation.
