Cost of Tuberculosis
Dr Harmon Biggs of New York
American Medicine after a careful
estimation places the annual expense
of tuberculosis to the people of the
United States at 3000000000 Ho
first calculates the loss to New York
city by putting a value of 1500 upon
each life at the average at which
deaths from tuberculosis occur This
gives a total value of the lives lost
annually of 150000000
But this is not all For at least nine
months prior to death these patients
cannot work and the loss of service
at one dollar a day together with food
nursing medicines attendance etc
at one and one half dollars a day re
sults in a further loss of S00000000
making a yearly loss to the munici
pality of 23000OOOG0 For the whole
country the 150000 deaths from tuber
culosis represent in the same way a
loss of 33000000000
Dr Biggs also states that the total
expenditure in the city of New York
for the care of tuberculous patients is
not at present over 50000000 a year
that is it does not exceed two per cent
of the actual loss by death etc If
this annual expenditure were doubled
or trebled it would mean a saving of
several thousand lives annually to say
nothing of the enormous saving in suf
fering Further evidence of this is
afforded by the fact that in the last
twenty years the total number of
deaths from tuberculosis in New York
has decreased instead of increasing
although there has been an increase
of 70 per cent in the general popula
tion
Oil Rubbing
Clothing exposes us to great dan
gers We wear too many clothes
We dress too warmly so the skin be
comes relaxed and loses the power to
take care of itself and this is the rea
son oil rubbing is necessary The
simple removal of a thin layer of oil
by a hot bath may be sufficient to
cause a man to take cold so this must
be replaced by a special oiling or
some other treatment in cold weath
er
People who are very susceptible to
cold should be rubbed with oil after
each bath Oil rubbing is especially
needed in cases in which the skin is
dry through deficient activity of the
oli glands of the skin Great care
however should be taken to avoid too
vigorous rubbing in the application of
the oil as sweating is very easily pro
duced to the disadvantage of the pa
tient In the treatment of infants and
children a marked and most favor
able effect upon nutrition is produced
by oil rubbing Application of oil
after cold baths encourages reaction
In most cases of chronic dyspepsia
when accompanied by emaciation in
diabetes and in most cases in which
malnutrition with dryness of the skin
is a prominent feature oil rubbing is
a valuable curative agency
Horrors of the Cocaine Habit
The following illustration of bad ad
vice in the lecture room is probably
not an exceptional case A professor
of materia medica lecturing on cocaine
called it one of the greatest of all
stimulants and perfectly harmless
He cited his own experience of its
good effects and advised the class to
test it personally in debility and ex
haustion Of a class of thirty two who
listened to this advice five became
cocaine takers within two years Ten
years later thirteen of this class were
drug and spirit takers In all prob
ability the use of cocaine was the
starting point of their addictions
Four died from the direct use of this
drug Evidently more than half the
class had followed the advice of the
teacher and were wrecked A few
years after the professor became an
invalid and retired from the profes
sion a victim of his own counsel and
confidence in cocaine
When anything is growing one
formatory is worth more than a thou
sand reformatories Horace Mann
Tuberculosis Rightly Classed
The Health department of the city of
Philadelphia has decided that in future
tuberculosis shall be classed with
other diseases that are dangerous to
the public health such as smallpox
diphtheria scarlet fever and other
contagious maladies The law in
Pennsylvania and most other States of
the Unon requires that every case of
contagious disease shall be reported
to the Health department Hereafter
all cases of tuberculosis must be so
reported by the attending physician
The purpose of this law is to enable
the Health department to take neces
sary steps to prevent the extension of
this disease by disinfection of the
apartments which have been occupied
by the patient and by instruction of
the patient and the patients friends
how infection from the disease may be
avoided
This law is a good one and ought
to be enforced in every civilized com
munity
Body and mind are both gifts and
for the proper use of them our Maker
will hold us responsible
Simple Living and Longevity of the
Brazilians
According to a writer in a contem
porary magazine the Brazilians when
first discovered lived the natural orig
inal life lived bv all mankind as fre
quently described in ancient histories
before laws or property or arts made
entrance among men The Brazilians
lived without business or labor fur
ther than for their necessary food by
gathering fruits herbs and plants
they knew no drink but water were
not tempted to drink or eat beyond
common thirst or appetite were not
troubled with either public or domes
tic cares and knew no pleasures but
those simple and natural in character
Many of these were said at the
time the country was discovered by
the Europeans to have lived as long
as two hundred years
This was without doubt an exagger
ation but that they were very long
lived is evidenced by the fact that
within ihe last quarter of a century
there was an old woman living in Rio
Janeiro at the remarkable age of one
hundred and forty one years
Beauty of form and face are the nat
ural results of right living and to try
to get them in idleness by the aid of
massage drugs or physical culture is
to undermine the foundation for all
charm Nature intended that we
should be of use whether we are
genius or common clay and naturo
rules We cant cheat her
The Quiet Way Best
Whats the use of worrying
Of hurrying
And scurryinff
Everybody flurrying
And bieakinR up his rest
When everything is teaching us
Preaching and beseeching us
To settle down and end the fuss
For quiet ways are best
The rain that trickles down in showers
A blessing to the thirsty flowers
And gentle zephyrs gather up
Sweet fragrance from each brimming cup
Theres ruin in the tempests path
Theres ruin in a voice of wrath
And they alone are blest
Who early learn to dominate
Themselves their violence abate
And prove by their serene estate
That quiet ways are best
Exercise gradually increases the
physical powers and gives more
strength to resist sickness
Frequency of Tuberculosis
From the Massachusetts Medical
Journal we abstract the following At
the second annual American Congress
on Tuberculosis held in New York in
1902 Dr Pryor stated that 14000 per
sons die annually in the State of New
York of this disease One sixth of all
the deaths in the world are due to this
one disease Statistics show that in
France 150000 die every year of this
disease in Germany 170000 in the
United States 100000 in Paris 11
000 in London 13000 New York
City 9000
Of deaths between the ages of fif
teen and forty tuberculosis claims one
third between fifteen and thirty five
one half The mortality from tubercu
losis alone exceeds that of war plague
cholera famine yellow fever and
smallpox
Plato called a man lame because he
exercised the mind while the body was
allowed to suffer
