Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Measures for the Prevention of Tuberosis
Registration will be objected to on the ground that it will impose additional suffering upon those who are already sorely afflicted. In a matter of such great importance to the well-being of themajority of those now living and of all of those yet to be born, the greatest good to the largest number ought to be our motto. Moreover, the registration of infectious cases of tuberosis need inflict no suffering on anyone that would not be fully com pensated for by a knowledge that near and dear ones can thereby be protected against the disease.
Objections based upon commercial grounds have no foundation in fact. People are too familiar with tuberosis to take fright at it, even when they believe it to be contagious. The registration of cases would have no depressing effect upon the community as a body, and whatever care-inspiring influence it might have upon individuals would be a benefit. Private business might in certain cases be injured because people would not buy at a place conducted by a tuberous person 3 but this would be a benefit to the community, and the individual concerned could easily rid himself of the injury by removing the attendant from a position in which he jeopardizes the health of others. Interference with the value of real estate could be prevented by gov ernment disinfection of infected houses.
