52 NOKTJI CAROLINA HOAUI) OF HEALTH. cian, in "vvliGin the people have more confidence than other folks, if the family physician is indifferent on the subject, if he doesn't insist upon it, they don't care a thing for it; but if the physician says to the people, ^^Here is a case of consumption in your family; it is a catching disease; if you don't have the members of your family take certain precautions (which you will explain to them), the probability is that he will die, and other members of the family will catch it; it is my duty to let you know this fact," they will take these precautions. I will illustrate it by telling you that in the county of Richmond, in ^Xorth Carolina, there lived in a certain house an old consumptive ex-Confederate, Avith a family of eleven; one was burned to death and the other ten died of tuberculosis. A negro man and his wife, already having consumption, moved in, and she died there. Three months after that another negro family, perfect types of health, ten in all, moved in, and every single one died of tuberculosis. If the doctor has it in his heart to prevent the spread of this disease, and will put it to the patient and impress upon him that he should take these precautions, or otherwise infect the other members of the family, who are dearer to him than anybody else, and then tell the family if they don't take certain precautions they themselves will have the disease—if the doctor's heart is in it, I am satisfied in many cases (of course I realize the difficulty of managing the ignorant) those precautions would be observed. What we want is the active and cordial co-operation of the physicians of Xorth Carolina in the education of the people as to the communicability of tuberculosis, as to the fact that it can be prevented, and to also give them hope that if it is taken in time it can be cured. Dr. Burroughs : Mr, Chairman, I move that the Secretary's report be accepted. Dr. Thomas : It has been moved, sir, and has been ordered to be printed. Dr. Thomas: Before w^e adjourn, gentlemen, I will say Dr. Stevens wall take what measures he sees fit to expedite the further organization of the society for the prevention of tuberculosis; and if there is nothing else before this conjoint session, it stands adjourned.
