CONCLUDING REMARKS. Investigation has satisfied the Committee that pulmonary tuberculosis in this country does not constitute a grave national menace. As shown by Graph D fewer people die from all forms of tuberculosis than are killed by violence. As far as can be ascertained the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis in this country is less than in any other country. Substantial progress has been made in adopting measures for its control and treatment; but pulmonary tuberculosis is an insidious and protracted infective disease which will gain ground and become a menace unless constantly repressed. The most important contribution that can be made to the successful issue of the campaign is co-ordination of the measures and of the efforts now employed in fighting the disease. F. Fitchett, Chairman. D. Eardley Eenwick, Member. T. W. J. Johnson, Member. J. W. Buchanan, Secretary.
