For an effective campaign against tuberculosis it would be necessary 

 to go still further and divide each district into smaller areas, each of 

 which should be specially investigated and provided with detention 

 houses or other devices for combating the disease. 



The statistics of mortality and the epidemiological researches con- 

 nected therewith constitute an important feature of the measures by 

 which tuberculosis is to be combated.
