Bearing expressions of good will and regard from the law-making; body of the Commonwealth, sent from It. as predicted yesterday, to represent It at the, Charlotte meeting and ascertain what aid the physicians desire at its hands, came Dre. J. R. Gordon, of Jamestown, and M. Bolton, of Rich Square. As a result of conferences between this committee of two and a special committee ot ths other doctors, reso lutions were adopted looking to a presentation of the situation to the Oenersl Assembly at a future date. An Important request, as will appear later, was that a sufficient salary be allowed the secretary of the State hoard of hearth t6 permit him to give all his time to the duties of this office, and that the secretary of the Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis be made an assistant secretary to the board of health at a salary of not lexs than MOO a year. A fine day was yesterday with the association. Although it was gloomy and disagreeable outside, there was not a dull moment Inside from open ing to close snd never was motion made or seconded In more regretful tones than that to adjourn yesterday afternoon near 6 o'clock. Apparent ly the members had a good time socially, but even more -general was the ImpresHlon (hat good had been done and that good was to 'be done. As on the preceding day, every pa per was carefully prepared, and fur nished valuable food for thought, while the discussions were frank and calculated to thresh out the truth In lta various phases. There was a goodly sprinkling of laymen on hand who showed a lively feeling of sym pathy with the work. The most enthusiastic praise was accorded by all to the secretary of the association, Dr. C. -A. Julian, of Thomasvllle. All the members ad mitted that but for Indefatigable ef forts the meeting would have ap proached nothing like Its standard of efficiency. Pre. W. LeRoy Dunn, R. H. Lewis, J. F. Highsmith. Benjamin K. Hayes. I. W. Falson, C. L. Minor and C. A. Julian composed the com mittee which was appointed at the morning session to confer with the legislative committee. After the ron- fereftee the following- restTlurtens were read to the convention by Miss McLean, the skilled stenographer who kept up with the llghtnlng-lilce discussions hoar after hour. The resolutions were unanimously adopt ed: RESOLUTIONS PASSED. l. resolvod. That this commlt- tee request our representatives to lay before the Legislature the desirabil ity of appointing a special secretary for the State board of health, with sufficient salary to allow him to de vote his whole time to the hygienic and sanitary interests of the State: and that the appropriation to the State board of health be Increased sufficiently to meet the requirements of the case. Be It Resolved, That It Is the senss of the committee that the Training School and Sanatorium for the Treatment of the Tuberculosis, and that lta teaching function ehall be recognised as Hs chief function and the Legislature be asked to change its name." Resolved, That the following be added to the constitution: There shall annually be appointed by the president a corresponding secretary In each county of the state, who may be either a physician or a lay man, and whose duty It shall be to enlarge the local membership In the society and Interest In the said county. Be It Resolved, That there be added to the constitution, the follow ing. There shall be a committee on publicity and publication to consist of five members and also tne presi dent and secretary of the associa tion ex officio. It shall be the duty of the committee to keep before the public through the lay and medical press, leaflets and pamphlets, the ulm and numoaes of this society." "Be it Resolved, That the clause -of the constitution be so amended as to read: There shall be appointed by the president, by -and with the con sent and approval of the board of directors, honorary members who Shall be cltlxens of North Carolina in such numbers as may be wise. Such men shall be chosen from those who in finances or other ways can assist In the crusade of this as sociation against tuberculosis. "Be it Resolved, That a committee of three te appointed, who shall, with the advlcs of Drs. Bolton and Gordon, appear before the Legisla ture, at such a time as is wisest, to advocate the cause of tuberculosis suppression in this State; and that the secretary of the board of health be requested to arrange at some time for an Interesting lecturs before a Joint session' of the Legislature; and that such members of this commit tee shall attend as feel It In their power to do so." It was moved and carried that president Dunn write to the Legisla ture on the economic value to the State of the tuberculosis crusade, and to treating such facts brought out at this meeting as he deems wise. An other, resolution was: Bs it Resolved, That the North Carotina Assoclatlen 4er- the Pre vention ef Tuberculosis thank the people of Charlotte, the press, the physicians and the priprletor ef the Selwyn Hotel for Ihe courtesies) it has received while 1b the city." The megt meeting;, of tha organiza tion will be In Asheville "In June conjointly with that of the State Medical Society. This oelng not a business session, no .officers were elected. The coming meeting will be purely one of business. President Dunn, i Asheville, left the chair to apeak In words of glow ing eulogy of the work of. Secretary Julian, of ThomssTille. "1 suppose no one appreciates the fact quite so much aa the Tide president and my self, but I feel that whatever euccees the -convention has had la almost wholly due to his efforts." There was liberal applause; Ir R. H. Lewlsv of Raleigh, spoke In similar vein and he was followed by a num ber of other, who gave tha bulk ot the credit for" the meeting success to ire secretary.' A rising. vote ef thanks waa ftven nlm. , The presi dent, 'by the way, made an admirable presiding officer and always had the situation well in hand. : BEGINNING DAT'S WORK. The first paper of the day was by Dr. L. B. McBrayer, of Asheville. on Tne Instruction of School 'Children In North Csrollna In the Hygiene of Tuberculosis." He contended that a text-book should be used which has a chapter on tuberculosis, giving In structions to the children on how lo prevent the disease and render self cure more easy. All teachers should be required to teach this subject and stand an examination on it before being given their certificates. The paper was valuable, as was also that of Dr. C. N. Peeler, of Charlotte, on "History of and Efforts Against Tuberculosis." Dr. Peeler traced the disease to a date 1,500 years before Christ. The Greeks, he said, had it and change of climate and high altitudes were recommend ed by physicians as a cure. Dr. J F. Highsmith, of Fayettevllle, read a paper on "How Shall We, the Medi cal Profession, Best Educate the Masses to Prevent Tuberculosis?' It was held that none except competent boards of health should have charge of the fumigation of houses, as when done by Incompetent persons It Is worse than useless. In that a false senso of security is given the inmates. Other papers, all of which were worth while, were: "Civic Aspect of Tuberculosis," by Dr, H. Bascom Weaver, of Ashovllle; "Tuberculosis From a Surgical Standpoint." by Dr. Randolph Wlnslow, of Baltimore, Md.: "The Relation of Tuberculosis to Life Insurance." by Dr. Thomas R. Little, of Greensboro : "Some Sug gestions For the Tuberculous," by Dr. William R. Kirk, of Hendersonviiie; "Some Duties and Public Duties Re lating to Consumption," by Dr. M. Eugene Street, of (llondon; tuber culosis " by Dr. Clyde F. Cotton, of Black Mountain; "The Sanatorium Treatment of Tuberculosis," by Dr. Lucius B. Morse, of Chimney Rock; "Our Duty to the Tuberculous Pa tient, the Fsmill and the Public, by Dr. David A. Stanton, of High Point; "Is Tuberculosis Contagious." by Dr. L. W. Hunter, of Charlotte; 'The Aid That We, as fnyiicians. Need to Treat Tuberculosis," by Dr. Baxter Haynes, of Cliffslde. SUGGESTIONS FROM DR. KIRrv. A warnine note was sounded to those who show symptoms of tubercu losis In the Interesting paper by Dr. William Redin Kirk, of Henderson viiie. Said Dr. Kirk: it miKht. nerhaos. have been as wen to address my remarks to those who treat tuberculosis for what little I will have to sav will deal with that phase of the subject, as -nuch as with the matter Implied In the title. With this apology, I will proceed with my suggestions, ths flrst of which la "Have vou Tuberculosis, or have you reason to believe you have?" Then don't hesitate to seek advlcs, the beat possible. Do not listen to the siren voice of well-meaning, but mis guided friends, who through motives of kindness, would endeavor to ally your fears by claiming that there Is nothing the matter. "It Is only a bad cold, pay no attention to it. You wH fee air riuht If? ft few days, eto-," but secure the best possible advice and follow It. Consult some rellabls physician, one who will take the time and trouble to determine if your fears are groundless. Remember that tu berculosis is one of the most prevalent of diseases, that it claims the largest number of victims annually, of any known malady. Remember also that many ailments considered slight In themselves predis pose to this disease, and that It Is not uncommon for tuberculosis to follow them; that It Is slow to develop, usu ally, and comes upon one Insidiously, snd often under the mask of other disorders, that it may be mistaken for something else. So be on your guard, do not accept a careless examination or a hurried diagnosis, even though It bo from one In whom you have Im plicit confidence, but Impress upon your physician your fears and require of him a thorough examination of your case. This does not mesn a physical examination of your chest alone, but an examination of your blood, sputum, and urine, perhaps an ocular test as well, before he can ar rive at a definite conclusion. It is of ten necessary to take the temperature not once or twice a day, but every two hours, for several consecutive days, to obtain a true picture of your lase. AS A WARNING. This Is not said to creat any suspic ion of incompetency In the mind of the patient, but uttered merely as a warning sgalnst those who are In the habit of putting their ears to the li the clothing, and dis missing the patient with the welcome but fatal "Go on, honey, there is nothing the matter with you. Too J often these cases come at -last to thfl naeiiiiit and often too late: The If family physician, good, kina, soui mat he Is, at times allows himself to be led Into error by the very generosity of his nature and rather than be the hairu rtf nrh had tidings, to thOSO who are often aa dear to him as his own family, will equivocate ana pro- castlnate until, aias, u is mi mm, when the golden moment has slipped away. Now, that tuberculosis is known to be curaoie, ana mo more curable the earlier It 1s taken In hand. It le to be hoped that the day has come when physicians will no longer withhold from their patient the nature of their disease.
