Alcohol and Tuberculosis

At the great congress on tuberculosis, held in London in July, 1903, Prof. P. Brouardel, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Paris, whose authority is of the highest value, declared:—
“The public house is the purveyor of tuberculosis;” “alcohol is the most potent factor in its propagation;” and “the strongest man, who has once taken to drink, is powerless against the disease.”
“Any measures, state or individual, tending to limit the ravages of alcoholism will be our most precious auxiliaries in the crusade against tuberculosis.”
