The prevention of Consumption and tuberculous disease generally is fully discussed in all its branches. While favouring notification of Tuberculosis as a contagious disease, both in regard to men and cattle, Dr. Squire recognises the practical difficulty attending its application, but to quote his conclusion : The question of preventive legislation directed towards the diminution of tuberculous diseases is not to be put aside because of its difficulties, though they are many and great. Where the national good is concerned, means have always been found to grapple with and overcome even greater difficulties than present themselves here. It may be added that they are already being resolutely dealt with by earnest and intelligent Medical Officers of Health in various parts of the country.
