WHITE PLAGUE CLINICS HELD ATCONFERENCE Physician Asserts Malady May Be Contracted From Cattle. 'CLIMATE? IDEA WRONG Tuberculosis clinics In charge of Dr. -Alfred He' tj of Indianapolis and adPdr*ses on “Contact Infection” by Dr. J. H. Stygall of Indianapolis and on "Effects of Sanatorium Treatment” by Dr. St. C. Darden of South Bend marked the final session today of the eleventh annual conference of the Indiana Tuberculosis Association. The afternoon was to be given over to 4 business session and talks on “What Constitutes Nutritional Work” by Dr. A. L. Walters of Indianapolis and “The Halation of Bovine Tuberculosis to the Tuberculosis Problem,” by Dr. L. J. Klgis of the veterinary Uept rtrnent of Purdua University. The morning session, including the clinics, was held at the old Medical School Building, 102 North Senate avenu®. I’hat bovine tuberculosis is communicable to human beings particularly children. was the statement made by Dr. Kijin. He said this fact had been established definitely by experimental results obtained by physicians In the United States, England and Scotland. In part he said: SAYS EXPERIMENTS PfcOVE THEORY. "Bovine tuberculosis is communicable to the human family, according to exact experimental results obtained by a numbj of noted physicians not only In this coijntry but in England and Scotland. Too small a number of people realize tuberculosis may be contracted by a hums,n being, especially a child by drinking milk from a cow suffering with tu--fcfculosis.” f Dr. Kigln presented reports from several noted physicians showing they had folmd 10 to 70 per cent of their tuberculosis cases among children derived from the bovine bacilli. Some ran as high as 90 per cent and the average, he said, was considerably more than half, showing conclusively tuberculosis in cattle frequently is transmitted to human beings through the drinking of milk from infected animals. “By eradicating tuberculosis in cattle, as we are trying to do in Indiana, through the Indiana Livestock Sanitary board and the Bureau of Animal Industry, we are taking a big step in eradicating tuberculosis In human beings,” said Dr. Kigin. He asked for cooperation of the State association in this campaign and declared that “unless a unified effort is made to stamp out this disease, its final eradication is impossible.” 20® MEMBERS ATTEND CONFERENCE. Approximately two hundred members of the association and visitors attended the sessions of the conference yesterday. At the meeting last night Dr. Charles Rockhill of Cincinnati, declared there is no necessity for tuberculosis patients to leave Indiana for Arizona or any other climate. He urged sufferers to remain in this State for treatment. He insisted in Arizona a large percent of natives die of tuberculosis than in Indiana. “There are physicians who seem to believe there is some mythical thing which they call ‘climate’ where tubercular patients will recover, but I want to say |lt does not pay to seek that Illusive i climate.” Dr. Kockhlll said the real solution of the tuberculosis problem is Isolation for advanced cases and educational work to prevent the spread of the disease. A decrease in the tuberculosis rate is reflected immediately in a lessening of the Insanity rate, declared Dr. John 11. Hurty, secretary of the Indiana board of health. At the meeting last night. Senator C. Oliver Holmes of Gary spoke of “Health Legislation.” Mr. Holmes, who is author of the public health nurse law of Indiana, declared, months in advance of next session of the Indiana Legislature, legislators are being bombarded with anti-medical legislation propaganda. He made a strong appeal for support of members of the Legislature who are trying to enact sound health legislation.

Rush, Misses Grace Kerr, Kate Dinsmoor, Marcia Furnas, Amy Winslow, Gretta Smith, Elizabeth Ohr, Cerene Ohr, Carrie E. Scott., Florence Jones.
