42 NOKTJI CAROLINA HOAUI) OF HEALTH. and I suppose in the last two years there have been probably a hundred cases of tuberculosis that have gone to the North and have contracted consumption and have come home to die; and I know of one instance of one family that I attended some time back—when one son went to the jSTorth he came back (there was a family of eight)—and five of them up to this date have died of tuberculosis^ contracted from this one case. That is the trouble that I find with the tuberculosis there. We have a great deal of it, of that class of it that is brought back from the ^^ortli^ and in that class of patients the pamphlet falls flat, because they cannot read it and the instruction that I can give them is not of much avail. I agree with. Dr. Julian; there ought to be a laAv to force the physicians to report tuberculosis, the same as they do smallpox^ so the houses can be fumigated. Now, after the death of a patient, in one or two instances I have had the house fumigated and have had the thing stopped, but I find that year after year they are dying. I know in Fay-etteville now two out of one family have tuberculosis, and three out of the same family have died within the past two years. Dr. Mason, of Charlotte: When the pamphlet was received it may have been that just at the moment the doctor had no case to whom he could give it. It may be in two or three weeks he can give it out, and if he knows where he can conveniently get them he will give them out. If you don't send them to the Secretary of the County Society I w^ould suggest that each secretary be supplied with these, and that the secretary notify the physicians that he has these papers and that at any time they are needed he will be glad to supply them. In regard to reporting cases of tuberculosis, I think that we would make a mistake if we passed a law that every case be reported, because there are many cases that if we would tell them they had tuberculosis we would sound their death knell; but every case that has progressed to a certain extent should be told, and everv house that has had cases of tuberculosis in it should be fumigated—we know that; but I don't think we should be so strict that we should make every man who has tuberculosis aware of that fact. We have to use judgment in the matter, in my opinion. We can't tell every man that he has tuberculosis, has
