TUBERCULOSIS.
Domestic and industrial circumstances and housing are
the main channels for preventive means in relation to this
disease. How they operate we have evidence in a small way
(see Table), in so far the Tuberculosis notification and mortality
centres round those parts of our District where these circumstances
are most unfavourable, and that is the reason why our
present methods of dealing with Tuberculosis have no effect in
reducing its incidence and so little on its rate of mortality.
