No. 6.--THE PREVENTION OF THE DISEASE OF TUBERCULOSIS. 
On the recommendation of Section I, it was agreed ‘‘ That in the 
opinion of this Association, it is advisable that the attention of Municipal 
authorities be drawn, through the respective Colonial Governments, to the 
widespread existence of Tuberculosis in all its forms in Australia, and to 
the necessity of taking steps to lessen its ravages. 
‘*Tn the opinion of the Association, much can be done by the diffusion 
of information as to the best means of prevention of the disease, by 
guarding carefully the quality of the Meat and Milk supplies, and and by 
attending to the cleansing and disinfection of houses in which cases have 
occurred.”
