insurance Against Tuberculosis.

Dr. P. J. Menard outlines in the Preese Medicale a plan for universal compulsory Insurance against tuberculocla, the funds from which would serve for the fight against tuberculoels. His scheme is something like compulsory social insurance against sickness, but the tax or insurance dues imposed would include all classes of society, not merely the wage earners. He protests that the fight against tuberculosis should nbt be left to charity or private initiative.
