All dwellings and public institutions which have been exposed to infection from patients suffering from tuberculosis should be properly disinfected, and this should be a law. And all beds, carpets, curtains, etc., should be steamed for at least two hours. As a general disinfectant for washing walls, floors and articles of furniture nothing is perhaps better than a solution of bichloride of mercury, one part to a thousand. 5. The State Board of Health should have the power and means with which to cause careful and scientific bacteriological examinations in any case where the condition arouses the suspicion of tubercular infection, as in food products, milk, etc., as furnished in our cities and towns. In conclusion, I cannot do better than suggest that we adopt the resolutions, i-elative to restriction of this disease, which were recommended by the Committee on the Restriction and Prevention of Tuberculosis of the American Public Health Association in Chicago, October last. These resolutions, as adopted, read: 1. The notification and registration by health authorities of all cases of tuberculosis which have arrived at the infectious stage. 2. The thorough disinfection of all houses in which tuberculosis has occurred, and the recording of such action in an open record. The estal>lishment of special hospitals for the prevention of tuberculosis. 4. The organization of societies for the prevention of tuberculosis. 5. Government inspection of dairies and slaughter-houses, and the extermination of tuberculosis among dair\^ cattle. G. Appropriate legislation against spitting into places where the sputum is liable to infect others; against the sale or donation of objects which have been used hy consumptives, unless they have been thoroughly disinfected. 7. Compulsory disinfection of hotel rooms, sleeping-car berths and steamer cabins which have been occupied by consumptives, before other persons ai'e allowed to occupy them.

Some of the terms are naturally obscure to those who have not read and studied the subject. This is a meeting emphatically for all, and we don't want to take up all your time and do all the speaking ourselves, and so please let the discussion be of a thorough and homelike character."
