The Great White and Red Plagues

The first article in our Outlook department gives a partial view of what men are doing at the present time to check the spread of "the great white plague." We are glad to record these noble efforts. We deal, in our next week's issue, with another evil than tuberculosis, more dread—"the great red plague." The outcome is not so promising. Instead of using every effort to make it public and to check the spread of the fearful thing, men in high places, moved by the conventionalities of society and by the vast number who are afflicted, are doing all that they can to suppress knowledge concerning it. You will be interested in reading the article, and you will want your neighbors to read it. We wish to say this, that it is not pleasant reading, but it is important.
