HUMANITY'S SCOURGE.
COMBATTING CONSUMPTION". By Cable—Press Association—Lupyright Received 12, 9.35 p.m. Sydney, July 12. A deputation representing the National Association for the Prevention and Cure of Consumption, asked Mr. Flowers to introduce a Bill to make notification of consumption compulsory and give an annual grant of £2OOO fcr the establishment of anti-tubicular dispensaries and the dissemination of information regarding the disease. Mr. Flowers said he was perfectly in agreement with the aims of the Society, and was taking all precautions to protect healthy lives from contamination, but he was not convinced on the question of compulsory notification. He did not think he was justified in practically ostracising whole families or causing additional suffering to consumptives themselves. He favored every precaution short of what he considered "refined cruelty," but not a general notification, though this might be the means of stamping out the disease in the course of years.
