G-i CAEOLIIN'A BOAKD OF HEALTH. ing the leaves and iulialecl them. Xo individual having a coiigli ought to use the conimou drinking cup, but use his OAvn exclusively. Provision should be made in all hospitals for the insane and in prisons for the separation of the tuberculous from the otherwise healthy. The utter helplessness of the inmates makes this an imperative demand of humanity. a word as to treatment. Tuberculosis, if taken in time, is one of the most curable of chronic diseases. In the first stage, before the lungs begin to break do^^■n, there is no expectoration, no pus or matter containing germs is thrown oft', and it is not contagious. In this stage it can be cured b.v proper care in the majority of cases. It is therefore all-important to the patient and the public, his immediate family in particular, that the diagnosis be made as early as possible. To this end, any person suffering from a general decline in health, especially if marked by a gradual loss of flesh, loss of appetite, a slight morning cough, fever-ishness, and perhaps huskiness of voice towards evening, should seek medical advice without delay. There seems to l)e a tendency on the part of both the patient and his friends to resent the suggestion that he has consumption, to deny it, and perhaps to discharge his true and candid physician—lose the ffohlcn ommrtunitif of cure. He should accept and act upon it at once—icith hope. The modern treatment of tuberculosis, which has been so success ful, consists not in the use of drugs to any considerable extent, but in fresh air at all times, day and night, an abundance of highly nulri tious food (rich milk, eggs, good beef, etc.), and a well-ordered life in accordance with the principles of hygiene. The consumptive should beware of ]»atent medicines or over-confidence in any drug, lest the chance of cure be lost while leaning on a broken reed. The success of the treatment is chiefiy in the hands of the patifM)t himself. A resolute will, a cheerful spirit, and obedience to discipline will overcome the disease in very many cases. Copies of this Bulletin will be gladly furnished free to any one who will ask for them and distribute them. Issued by the North Carolina Board of Health. Richard H. Lewis, M. D., Secretari/.
