or. Livingstone Farrand Appeals to
People to Enter Battle Against
Disease.
isew York. Mortality from tuber
culosis among the civilian population
and in the armies of all the countries
engaged in the war has at least ap
proximated the total number of sol
diers killed in battle, according to Dr
.Livingstone Farrand, director of the
American commission for the preven
tion of tuberculosis in France.
That the people of America throw
themselves into the winning of the
war against tuberculosis with the same
zeal with which they have hurled
themselves against the Hun is the bur
den of an appeal made by Doctor Far
rand on the eve of his return to
France.
"To make our country really safe
we must first make it healthy," is the
slogan Doctor Farrand sueerests for
- u u
this war against disease.
Of the men called to the colors by
the first draft 50,000 were found to be
tubercular. This is one of the striking
indications of the prevalence of the
disease.
"While the war has thus effectually
disclosed conditions which existed be
fore, rather than produced these condi
tions, it is also true that in indirect
ways it has substantially increased -the
tuberculosis problem in the European
countries involved," says Doctor Far
rand. "I refer not to the situation in the
armies, where the mode of life often
tends to reduce this disease, but to con
ditions which affect the civilian popu
lation." Increased food, clothing and housing
costs necessitating, among the lower
wage groups, diminished quantity and
quality and their resultant undernutri
tion, are given as contributing causes.
A nation-wide campaign against the
disease and for adequate provision for
rejected and discharged soldiers suf
fering from it is planned through 1,500
local societies of the National Tuber
culosis association.
