Our Dumb Animals.
As nil -our readers know we have
many "times called attention to the
danger of premature burial our own

large
amount of
medical evidence on this subject
have petitioned every one of our
State legislatures in regard to it
and have written the President of
every Senate and the Speaker of
every House and are glad to see
that an act is now before our Mas-
sachusets legislature from which'
we.-gl7c the following:

DECLARES TUBERCULOSIS"
'CAN BE STAMPED OUT.
Lsndon March 21. The cam-
paign against consumption should
receive a "tremendous impetus from
two events which formed the most
striking features of the attending of
the National Association for tin?
Prevention of Consumption.
The first of these was the an-
nouncement of the magnificent gift
by Wernher Bert & Cq. of $200000
for the erection of a sanitarium
while -the second was the striking
speech of Sir James Crichton
"'") Jiwimus pijysician ir
jvhich he emphasized'his conviction
that the xlay was coming when the
terrible scourge of humanity wouli
be eradicated.
There could be no doubt lie said
that tuberculosis was onfi nf th
main factors of physical incapacity
It killed an army corps of mea
every year and its ravages ex-
tended to tens of thousands of
women and children.
It was not like cancer a dark
terrible and insatable mystery.
The causes were well understood
and the methods of Its nronatratioa
. a
were well .known. A grand truth
and the potential remedy lay in
the discovery of the factof'lhe
ineffectivity of the tuberculosis. It
was absolutely certain that with
scrupulous cleanliness and well-
defined precautions tuberculosis
could be effectively dealt with and
ultimately eradicated. St. Louii
