Charges Billion Dollar Waste
Blind Man Shoots Burglar
On TB Vets of World War I
The billion dollars spent on World
War I veterans who contracted tub- j
erculosis was "largely wasted." Dr.
Louis I. Dublin, nationally-known
health authority, charges In a sign
ed article In the current issue of
Collier's Weekly, In championing a
unified national program to wipe
out tuberculosis.
We can wipe out this disease os
surely and as completely as we
have eradicated smallpox,” Dr. Dup
lin asserts. He estimates that the
hiaximUm cost would be a billion
and a third dollars the first year,
after which the expense would tap
per off. and that the dread disease
could be virtually wiped out in 15
to 20 years.
He puis our present tuberculosis
bill at about a billion dollars year
ly, after reporting that the U. S.
spent money •freely’’ in caring for
most of the 200,000 World War I
veterans who contracted tubercu
losis. Dr. Dublin declares that "only
three per cent of the patients left
the hospital with their disease ar
rested. and the rest wrre discharg
ed with little or no permanent bene
fit"
Dr. Dublin puts the blame for this
failure on the ’’previous" Veterans
.^ministration, charging that the:
chief fault was ^”1 "the veterans
were not subject to the discipline
which is so necessary in the care of
tuberculosis."
Dr. Dublin, who Is second vice-
president cf the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, outlines the
following four-point program to
eradicate the dread disease:
1. Mass X-ray of the population.
2. The building of additional sanu-
toriums.
3. Financial aid to Dependents of
tuberculosis patients.
4. Cooperative programs between
sanatcriums and communities.
Tt is asserted that the U. S. Fub-
HcaHh Service, state an local health
departments, and the Tuberculosis
Association have the machinery to
run the proposed all-out campaign.
Or. Dublin points that the Ne-
groe.«, Indians, Orientals and Mexi
cans in our population are most sus
ceptible to the disease, and that the
incidence of the disease among these
people is highest where the living
standards are lowest. The tubercle
bacillus he says, must be stamped
out everywhere if we are fa get rid
of the disease.
