It la not my purpose to unduly.alarm anyone, but I want to
bring to the attention of the thoughtful men and women of our
community a aituation which, In my opinion, deserves our serious
consideration.
During the past few weeke I Jiave had brought to my atten
tion a situation in reference to the presence in this county of
tuberculosis, which I did not realise existed. Since the first of
September, Miss L M. McGInley, the nurse working in connection
with tho locgl Tuberculosis Association, ha* beer, making « thor
ough survey of the county with the Ides \of gathering definite
information touching the extent of tuherngosis. Her investiga
tions have disclosed a situation which I am quite sure is unknown
to the great majorty of our people. Not only has ahe found an
unusually high percentage of tubercular patients in proportion to
our population, hut her inveetlgationa have-disclosed a pathetic
and dire need in many quarters. - - -
When we realise, as we must, the terrible certainty of death
from thie disease unless proper food, net and living conditions
can be had, and when we know too that medical research has
shown thkt for evtry person suffering from tuberculosis in an ad
vanced stage five other persons are practically certain to be
affected, we will'realise that this situation Is a community prob
lem which deiervee our thoughtful consideration. Moat of those
stricken with this dread whtta plague are unable to take those
remedial measures* that would give them a chance to live. They
cannot meet the expense Involved in the proper care of them
selves. In addition to the ettuation that facet thoec actually
suffering from tubereuloeis, there is. another serione aspect. Each
of these tubercular cases is a constant menace to the general
health of the community. None of us know when vj, or mem-
ben of our families, are expoaed to this disease. I have, during
the laat few days, been in touch with situations in this nspect
that have opened, my eyes to this danger. Many of our people . .
are employing servants who eltbar an acitvely tubercular or who ,™i* of the army as a deserted,
are living in houses with those who ars i»»itive!y affected. 13*1* 0T *r to H>e 8cniit*
I do not think that It 1s necessary to recite the details of veterans Committee Monday by
these cues, since ail of us an aware of the possibilities attached tnedepartment.
to instances of this character. I, however,'do feel that tt is time | J** *»J®™ wi
lor the people of this county to consider the question of making ~
some provision for those who an in the advanced stages of tu
berculosis and taka dtfinKe steps looking to the eradication of
this disease In this community. Tubereuloeis can be conqoend.
It can, with proper medical attention end protective legislation,
be controlled and aiiminated. To do this will require, not -the in
dividual action of a faw of onr people, but the corporate action of
this community, I believe that tha health of our people ia a para
mount obligation and that regardless of what may be the east
.attached to the adequate handling of this situation, our people
will heartily tndorse any action that may be token by our con
stituted authorities to this end. I do 'not, in this case, subscribe
to the old aayinr, “Where ignorance is a bibs, ’tit folly to be
wise." As a people we have been unaware of this tubercular sit
uation, end in our ignorance of facts we have gone on from year
to year with a definite menace growing and spreading in our
midst.
Now that we can know the facta, now that we have here t
most capable trained nuree who ia devoting her energies to find
ing out the true situation and endeavoring to correct the trouble,
is it not time that the people of Clarke County think seriously on
these matters and try to arrive at a wise end practical solution?
Wb have too much at stake to overlook a situation of this
sort. The state eanitorinm at Alto for the treatment of tubercu
lar cases is now over-crowded, with a large list of people waiting
for admission. We can not, end shonid not, took solely to the
state to assume our burdens. We are as a corporate body, amply
able to make local provision for these cases, and I believe that tha
time has come when we should consider the advisability of imme
diately providing here in Clarke County a sanitarium where these
cases can bo treated and our community relieved from, the con
stant menace that faces us. '. i .
