CAUSE OF TUBERCULOSIS.
CLIMATE HAS NO EFFECT.
ADELAIDE, May 15.
The Inspector-General of Hospitals, Dr. Morris, in giving evidence before the Federal Health Commission, said the idea that climate affected tuberculosis had been exploded;- As an instance, he pointed out that in Dudley, England, which he described as one of the smokiest, filthiest and apparently one of the most unhygienic towns in Englund, the incidence of tuberculosis was less than in a popular health resort such as Bournemouth. The most successful British sanatoria were in the Highlands, the bleakest spots in the British Isles, and the best results in the cure of tuberculosis in Europe were obtained in Finland and on the fiords of Norway. It was a question more of housing' and good food than climate.—Press .association.
