It was discovered that the region was a most healing one for cousumptive3, and ib became the Mcccv for the unfortunate? of Kurope so stricken. The inhabitants aban- doned their farms to \vaifc upon the strangers. The strong, healthy women forsook their dairies and became the ■washerwomen of the consumptives' clothes. No precautions were taken ; the disease was not then understood as sow, the theory of tubercle bacillus not having been discovered The hitherto strong inhabitants are now emaciated, a coughing, bleeding people, filled with the germs of consumption. The soil and air ate both contaminated ■with the tubercle bacilli. It is no longer a health resort." Th© Scisn- rjific American adds that the same fate awaits many other similar localities unless active measures are taken to destroy all-germs. This will be a most difficult task, because consumptives themselves, as a rule are not thought- ful of the danger they spread or of the ' rights of others. They should bear m mind that if all the others had been " careful they, too, might have escaped.
