TEXTII BIEX^'IAT. EEPOrtT. 59 be <lone tliroiigh the physicians, ministers and teacliers of their race- It is not the intention of the Board to limit its efforts against tuhercnlosis to this method, hut as far as possible to avail itself of others that are nsefnl, such as the org-anization of anti-tnberciilosis societies in onr cities and towns, the securing of public addresses on the subject, and when it becomes feasible the establishment of a special sanatorium for consumption. These latter methods, while helpful, are necessarily very limited in their scope, but by the free use of printer's ink ami postage stamps we hope at comparatively small expense to plant the seed of knowledge of this subject in every neighborhood in the State, in the confident belief that it will bring forth fruit. But after all is said, the family physician remains the most effective agency in the solution of the prol)lem, and l)y repeated appeals directly to every individual practitioner in the State we hope to arouse and keep alive his interest and secure his active co-operation. CAUSES AND PREVENTION OF CONSUMPTION. {Tiiherciilosis, Phthisis, FuJmonarn Cons\nnl)ti<)n^. Pulmonary tuberculosis (consumption) is the most common form of tuberculosis, about Ori.o per cent, of all kinds, it is said. The other principal forms of tuberculosis are scrofula (of the glands), white swelling (of the l)ones and joints), and lupus (of the skin). These are milder in character, and not so dangerous as the pulmonary form. Consumption is the most fatal of all diseases and is aptly called ''The Great White Plague." It is estimated that one-seA-enth of all deaths from every cause in the civilized world are due to it. One-fourth of all who die iu adult life—the most useful period—it is said, are the victims of this disease. In North Carolina, according to the last census report, about one-tenth of all deaths were attributed to consumption. In other words, between four and five thousand of our people die every year of a disease that can he prevented.
