THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
Tt; Eft DAT, JANUARY E tM).
TO STAY THE QREAT WHITE PLAGUE. .
It may be possible that two of Atlanta’s greatest charities ipay coma
back to her bearing fruit a thousand fold In protection and In healing.
The case of the little woman who carried her husband to Colorado,
and the little widow who baa Jut been sent to Asheville through the
sarlft and responsive kindness of the warm hearts of Atlaota. may serve
to quicken our civic Intelligence to the apprehension of a mighty evil
and Ihe necessity of curing It.
For out of these two Incidents baa come the more general- apprecia
tion of the swift and wholesale ravages wrought by consumption In ihe
(l/nea In which we live.
Men.and women liolb In private and In public life have been startled
and shocked by Ihe statement of the universality of Ibis great disease
The advance of the Orest White Plague Into the ranks of our raco la an
event mors calculated to strike terror to tha heart* of tha people than
tha advance of Japan upon tho territory of the Philippines, or a score of
Englloh battleship In full armament off tho coast* of Charleston and Now
York. "
On* hundrod and fifty thsusand victims to conaumptlon ovary year
makes a mortality greater than has bean recorded In any foreign war that
tha republic hat aver wagtd or fought and grsatsr than tha carnage of
tha Russlan-Japanete war.
And this la no casual onslaught, but the steady and remorseless tramp
of a deadly and over Increasing enemy whoso Mat of victories la dally mul
tiplied and whose victims are Blllog an ever enlarging line of early'graves.
A few daya ago a reputable paper stated that there were 13.000 con-
sumptlvqi In Ihe single city of Washington, the capital of our country.
Physician* tell us that there - era perhapo from 2.600 to 3,000 victim* of
consumption In the city and suburbs of Atlanta, with a similar propor
tion In other cities.
W* have read from tha pan of on* of our own physician* citing sta
tistics to show that on* parson out of ovary nine In thla country dlot of
tuberculosis, and over (0 ptr cent of dll paopl* have at aomttlme in thtlr
llvta had It In thtlr system In on* form or another.
There la no rank or station or clltuate which thla dread enemy baa
spared, for whether It be the prince In hla palace or the pauper In hla
hul, whether In the frigid cold of,Manitoba or In Ihe warmth and balm of'
Florida, the pestilence that walketh In darkneas and the destruction that
waateth at noonday, stays not Ita band, nor relax** Ita remoraeleis grasp
aa Ihe conqueror of men.
Surely, then, In view of the fearful foothold which thla deadly malady
ha* attained lu our country and in our .state. In view of Its terrible
and malignant Increase. II would aeem to be high time (or the city and
the state and the Individual lo join handa with the physicians and the
healers and the sanitary experts to-do something to halt the fearful
march or the Great White Plague.
Not a question before the' board of trade, nol a material Issue before
Ihe Chamber of Commerce—not a riot caucus, nor a yellow fever confer
ence of the last ten years—nol a policy of Immigration hor~or r Mil road
regulation, nor of politics nor of wealth compares In magnitude and In Im
mediate direct and pressing Importance with the conalderatlou of thla
mighty peril and the measures to hslt and destroy It.
With this premise then let ua lake hold of thla tremendous question
with some Intelligence of ronceptlon and with some reiolute determina
tion.
!«et us start out III the beginning with the statement nt our own phy
sicians. than whom there Is none better In the republic, that they are
neither blind nor apathetic toward Ihe mighty danger which surrounds
We are publishing on this page today a latter from Dr. George
Urowu. who haa perhaps given more of hla iieraonal time and enthusi
asm lo Ihe study of this great question than any other phyalclan ot Ihe
8outh, and who la ready to consecrate hla life al all times to combat It.
lu the Interest of humanity and In the welfare ot the Individual. Dr.
Itrown's letter, "written aa l^he chairman of ihe American Tuberculosis
league, will Indicate how widely the Interest of Ihe public la being aroused
upou this question Slid that In organised form multitudes of the great phy
sicians <>f ibe republic will meet at Atlantic City In early June tor a se
rious and organfied consideration.
-— In addltiou to this. Dr. Louie )l.Jones, al our request, has sent to The
Georgian the report of the commlttoeou consumption of the Medical As
sociation ot Georgia, which Indicates that the organized body ot our Geor
gia physician* la fully and magnificently alert lo the condition* surround
Ing us. The committee starts out with the statement that the mortality
from tuberculosis In Georgia Is one out of every ten deaths, whereas 'san
itation and care In Germany haa reduced the mortality to only one death
In every three. Dr. Drown and the Georgia association agree that more
lieople die of tuberculosis than ot smallpox and scarlet fever and typhoid
fever and yellow fever and the plague, combined.
These pb.Vtldana agree that the tuberculous bacilli enter the body In
one of three ways.
First. Into the lungs by inhalation through the nasal passage*.
Second, by Ingestion or eating tuberculous food or by drinking tuber
culous milk.
'And third, by luoculatlon through s wound of the skin or lining o(,the
mouth.
There are tunny people and some animals who seem to be Immune froqj
the bacillus of consumption. The anthrax baclllni. for Instance. It In
jected In small amounts beneath the skin of a white rat would kill him
horribly within 36 hours, whereas with the same Injection a gray rat
would not miss a meal. And so In Ihe blood of healthy Individual! all
of these Wtllt fortunately do not take effect. “We—aay fortunately be
cause ot the gppatllng conaequeneea which would follow their universal as
similation.
It Is estimated that a consumptive expectorates an ouuoe ot pua a
day. During the progress ot his disease of three year* thla would b* 1.063
ounces, or 1.000,000 tubercular bacilli, and lest thla estimate should
seem extravagant it may ba given aa a scientific computation that a con
sumptive In tha third stag* of tho disease expectorates four billion tu
bercular bacilli every day Into tho air which I* breathed and inhaled by
tho thousands of ptopl* who llvt In tho sam* orbit In which ho moves.
One ran understand then how frightful would be the conaequeneea
If all these bacilli ot conaumptlon were absorbed Into the bodies of
lieopls whose resistive powers were not good enough to cast them out nr
who were not immune like the gray rat tram the disease.
Ilut these figures will Indicate lo a thoughtful world the absolute ne
cessity tor a proper and scientific protection against the eputwm expelled
from the throat and the mucus matter blown from the no** or the con
sumptive Into the world. It It from tills source that there haa come the
tremendous Increase ot the White Plague which Is the deadliest menace
to the times In which we live.
This is the chief If not the only source ot Its distribution atuoug men.
and It may be said and It baa been said by scientists that If that* expec
torations could ba carefully protected under sanitary regulations, that the
Great Whit* Plague which la now marching Ilk* a conquering army
throughout tha earth, would bt utterly and absolutely destroyed among
man.
So that the first great movement in which the paopl* and tha authori
ties muat join tha doctors, la In tha effort te dispose properly and careful
ly of tho garm-ladon sputum of consumptive*!
Beyond thla there are a multitude of leaser considerations which
should lie generally understood. To summarise here, let ua aay
First* that tuberculosis 1* an Infectious but curable dlseaae.
Second, that tuberculosis la the cause of at least out out of every tcu
deaths.
Third, tuberculosis ta transmitted chiefly tat through Infected epututn,
i liithrough Infected milk, and let through direct contact with the dis
eased.
Now, then, we come to the great considerations which appeal to the no
blllty, iu the self-sacrifice and In the humanity of the (.alienI. First, the
consumptive patient owes a solemn duty to the public. The consumptive
patient being Informed ot the deadly and destructive remits attendant up-
.on the distribution of the germs froth hla throat and tmae and luuga.
should use all the force, the consideration, the humanity and Ihe Chris
tian duty In his heart, and use every precaution which Intelligence and
self-sacrlflce can suggest to prevent the further spread of this fearful
plague among bis fellows.
The earliest duty of the tuberculous tiatlem Is as speedily a* posxlble
to be examined by tb* heat experts In. tuberculous diseases within hla
reach, and to ascertain promptly and definitely whether he bna or haa not
within Mas tb* germs of thin disease. \
Haring dtaoovared hla condition. II I* tho supreme duly of tb* consump
tive patient to protect bis foUow men by tho most carefqj control of
these discharges. No coniumptlv* patient should ever under say circum
stances kiss a. healthy person, Infant or adult. No consumptive person
abonld ever be careless In the net of spitting or or blowing the mncoite
within him Into any place where It can be dried snd distributed into the
atmosphere or through contact be carried Into the lunge of tha people.
It Is nothing more nor 1st* than a distinct and definite crime for any
consumptive to spit In doted ear* or In haatad room* or In garments
whloh go Into tho laundry Hat* with the garments of other paopl* with
whom they geo aaaoclatod. 1 *j
The consumptive who Is coughing up a million garma should realiz*
that lia may ba committing a million murders by eareltasntsa along this
lint.
Kvery Instinct of humanity suggests that the consumptive should uae
every precaution to guarantee against transmining the disease to others,
and to this end he must make It the central object of his dally life to see
that none of hla sputum escapes complete disinfection. Wherever possible
a consumptive should spend at least a little time In e sanitarium for
the purpose of learning how to take protier cere of himself and of thin
deadly and destructive sputum tilled with germs. Wherever possible this
sputum should And Its wgy Into a cup and should always he kept from flies.
The consumptive should never spit Into hla handkerchief or a cloth, and
when coughing or enostlng he should always hold hla handkerchief before
his face to prevail*, the bacilli from being expelled in the One mist that Is
thrown off during these acta.
Society has a right to demand that In all that* ways tha conaumptlvt
should not b* a menace to tho public.
On the other band, the public has a definite duty toward the con-
sumpttve patient, The duty of consideration, the duty of Instruction and
the means for carrying out the Instructions (or the protection of others.
Municipal government should require an enforced registration of tuber
culous case*. Printed directions aa to the conituct of the patient and
those with whom he la brodght In contact, should be distributed either
through his physician or the agentsof the board ot health. If the consump
tive Is too poor to employ a physician, one nhould be provided (or him out
of the public funds. He should be visited .regularly and the pbysldau
should be required to eee that the necessary sanitary regulations are car
ried out. There should be In nil communities committees on tuberculosis
consisting of persons especially trained and quallfled for the work. Careful
disinfection of the premise* should follow the death or removal of a tu
berculous cate.
And It la the absolute duty of (he state to provide suitable Institu
tions fop the education and care of consumptives.
Wa are proud of our sanitarium* for tha intana. How Infinitely asham
ed w* should be that wt have non* for the greater and more needy and
more menacing army of consumptives.
And If that* provisions and precautions apply to tha white race they
apply with greater emphasis to the negro race in which the death rats
from tuberculosis is thras time* at great aa that of tha whit* ract.
If. so Tar* thin article has lietMiRrewsomc In Its elaboration of aiqiall-
Ing details, we treat that the readers of The Georgian will utidera(and that
Its motive le the protection of the people from the greatest danger that
surrounds them, and that the dark cloud has a silver lining of hoi«\
For consumption is most positively n curable disease. Seventy.flve tier
cent of the tuberculosis cases that have been discovered In the beginning
of the first stage have gotten well. And there are tew consumptive cases
that taken In time-may not in the beginning be treated with a hopeful
and almost certain expectation of recovery.
In the way of remedy two or three things should be understood among
the people. There Is ua remedy like fresh air and sunshine—always—ev
erywhere—day and night—get Into the lungs all the fresh air you can
breathe. Sunshine it the greatest antiseptic In the world, and fresh air
the greatest healer which God has sent to the human lungs. Live out ot
doors as much as you can, and Ifjmaslble sleep out doors. The right kind .
of food, raw eggt, nourishing food, milk and all things which nourish and
build up the body are the standard remedies.(or the consumptive.
Scientists agree that axetpt In rare cases whlaky la poison to every
conaumptlvt framt. Some cattt have gotten wall In spite of it, but tho
beat doctors agree that It haa never yat cured a patient of conaumptlon.
While changes of air and climate are godtl and while some climates
may b* better-than othSTt. Yet The Georgian upon official authority lends
out to every consumptive the message ot hope—that everywhere—In At-
lanta—and stuld tb* magnificent ozone of theee Piedmont hills—that by
literally living In thlf exhilarating air—day and night— when possible.
Joined to the eating of proper food and resolute care along the sanitary
lines which we have described, there la every promise of speedy Im
provement and perhaps a permanent restoration to health.
The Georgian bat given great space to this comment aud appeal. We
have omitted nil other topics and slngle-ahotted the supreme Issue.
Where is the man who loves humanity and knows the facts from offi
cial sources who will not aay and think that this warning and this appeal
ta well founded and well worth the apace?
It la the transcendent question of tlte city, the state, the 8outh mid
the republic. We trust that every thoughtful mau. woman and child In
Atlanta will read thla statement and help to give It circulation, for It Ita
appeal Is heeded and Ha counsel, which Is derived (rout the beat and- high
est sources, shall be fulfilled, we will have gone fast and far toward the
stamping out of the greatest plague which threatens civilization and the
establishment ot health and life among a larger mini her of people than
ever composed any army of the republic's life.
In this Intslllgtnc* and talf-aacriflc* of tho patient, and in the firmness
and helpfulness of the pooplo, lat tho Groat Whitt Plague bt stayed.
Colontl Sidney Tapp's Radical
Mafiiina.
Whan Colonel Sidney Tapp started
hla magazine, which he haa called the
American Republic. It waa generally
expected that It would be conducted
along radical llnee.
But the second Issue, which Is the
current Issue ot that publication, more
than fulfills the radical expectations
ot those who know the editor of the
magazine. The author of "Anglo-
Saxon Institutions" and of “The Strug
gle" Is unquestionably rioting in his
own perfect liberty In the strong and
radical trend which he Is giving to
the discussion of current issues.
A leading article In The Republic
la under the query: "I* the Flitted
States Senate as an Organization, a
Body ot Patriot* or a Band of Crimi
nals?" and In answer to hla own ques
tion Col. Tapp moil distinctly and em
phatically concludes aud declares that
the senate le "a band of criminals."
and openly and boldly calls the names
of those who. according to hla theory,
ought to be serving time somewhere
else than In the highest legislative
body ot the world.
The Republic haa out-lteroded The
Cosmopolitan In discussing the tree- j
ton ot the senate.
In ihe aatne issue la the editor's ■
personal estimate of Theodore House-1
veil, and while ranking him aa an I
earneat and patriotic man. moat em
phatically declares that he la not aj
statesman and does not understand;
our theory ot government, and that >
he ta vain and lovee flattery too muchj
to be t sate ruler.
There la no doubt ot the fact thatj
Col. Tapp dtacuasea with much toqce
the radical views which he eutertalns.
we doubt not that Col. Tapp will lie ns
heartily Indorsed III some quarters ns
he will be roundly roasted by the con
aervntivc magazines ot the country.
