46 NOKTJI CAROLINA HOAUI) OF HEALTH. Avlio liad tuberculosis. As Dr. Ferguson said in his paper, "it is one of the most easily prevented of all infectious diseases; and if it is so easy (and I agree with him), then we should pass laws that are right. I stand here abashed and ashamed that Charlotte, in her hundred years of history, has no law for the prevention of tuberculosis. All the law she has is the State law; but when I grow stronger, Avith the power of God Almighty, [ propose to put on the statute books in Charlotte a law that will be a law that is worth something. JSToav, gentlemen, in discussing tuberculosis, I do wish the medical men in i^Torth Carolina would quit using the word "contagious'' in talking about tuberculosis. I know Dr. Weaver knoAvs better than to talk about "contagion" in tuberculosis. It doesn't come in that class at all; the sooner they realize and accept this fact, the better. Tuberculosis isn't a contagious disease. It is a plain communicable disease that is preventable if you Avill do it—and we have the power to prevent it. Dr. Weaver: Let me correct the gentleman. I meant infectious. Dr. Faison : I Avant them to understand it is not contagious. We have only four or fiA^e contagious diseases in the Avorld, and Avhy you want to put down these things in that class is beyond my comprehension; but it is one of the infectious diseases that Ave should have to do AAdth. Some are not so easily preA^ented as others, but this one—tuberculosis—we can put the doctors out of business if we Avill do what Ave ought to. Gentlemen, it is a preA^entable disease, and so long as you talk about educating the laymen to do this, it isn't Avorth a cent. Do something. Put your hand on them with the laAv and make them do; that is the Avay to teach the people to do things. I am absolutely of the opinion that that is the Avay to do, and I propose to stand here and do so, and the sooner we can get laAvs passed, the better. There is no question about that. I know that it will be hard. I know that men kick at neAV things. AYe haA^e seen it in this toAvn, aa^here men haA'e nearly been kicked to death because they Avanted to do what was right. But who cares if he does get kicked when he is in the right ? I Avould rather be kicked in the right than succeed in the wrong. Dr. Albert Andersois^ : I just want to say a few words. I heartily agree with what Dr. Faison has said. I think the best
