Sir George Newman, chief medical officer to the Ministry of Health, iii addressing a conference of the National Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, said the death rate from pulmonary tuberculosis, or consumption, in England and Wales had fallen from 3,189 in the 1,000,000 in 1847 to 709 in the 1,000,000 in 1928.
