Tuberculosis.
The Committee recounends that this diseuse should be notifiable, but that un action be taken by the Health Department Preu for open cases It may be left to the practitioner if he takes upon himself the duty, lo use his persona! influmen with the patient to point out to him the dangers of infecting others, especially babies and small children, and to advise him to take precautionary measures,
Except with the poorest class, most of the babies of Chinese families are taken care of partly or entirely by amabs, They have the clowest contact with the babies and handle all their food. The importance of these amaha being carriers of diseases, especially tuberculosis enunot be over-estimated. Some meana
may be derised to educate these amahs in personal habits and hygiene, infant feeding and the care of babies, and to induce their employers to have them checked up before engaging them for babies
