Auerbach, Association executive secretary, pleaded for more hospital beds for tuberculosis patients in the state and suggested that new legislation is necessary. Dr. Segar, an Indiangpolis pediatrician, said that “therg/is absolutely no excuse for the child with the nose cold or cough to be in school. “He should be at home: in bed and should be kept in bed until he is well whether it takes a day, or & week, or a month or a year.

Cites Health Perils “The common cold is a public

health problem, especially with children. Adults acquire more or less immunity to it, and very often a cold in an adult is merely a matter of carrying two handkerchiefs instead of one. “But if all the other childhood diseases were brought finally under control, there still would be a terrible toll taken among our children by the common cold, so often regarded by parents as of little importance. “The complications that are likely from a common cold in a child include pneumonia, gland disorders, sinus infections, meningitis and blood poisoning. . “The cause of the common cold and its prevention are unknown and the treatment is 100 per cent unsatisfactory,” Dr. Segar said. Mr. Auerbach said that even though the number of hospital beds for tuberculosis patients has materially increased in the last five years, many counties cannot afford to pay the cost of such care. He suggested that the State assist the counties in sending patients to existing institutions. 1

Proposes Costs Sharing

“The State recognized its responsibility ‘in this regard,” he said, by providing .two State hospitals, and also Considers -the County’s responsibility by requiring a payment of $5 a week for each patient. . “That many more of those who have tuberculosis should be‘ hospitalized is indicated in the annual number of deaths.
