TUBERCULOSIS.
NEW SOUTH WALES CAMPAIGN. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. Sydney, June 23. Tho Health Society is organising a campaign with tho object of stamping out consumption. The proposals include compulsory notification of tho disease. The City Health Officer claims that as a result of tho Health Board's efforts, the number of deaths from phthisis, has fallen from 2.3 per thousand in 1885 to 0.03 per thousand in 1909. This meant that 784 lives had been saved in the metropolitan area last year, which would have been lost through consumption if the earlier ratio had been continued.
