No Uncared-for Tuberculosis in New York State in 1915 
 
 You are cordially invited to attend a 
 
 CONFERENCE 
 
 of the 
 
 LOCAL COMMITTEES ON 
 THE PREVENTION OF TUBERCULOSIS 
 
 of the 
 STATE CHARITIES AID ASSOCIATION 
 
 To be held 
 
 Friday and Saturday, March Eighteenth and Nineteenth 
 Nineteen Hundred and Ten 
 
 At Albany, New York 
 
 On Saturday afternoon Hon. Joseph H. Choate will 
 preside, and President Taft, Governor Hughes and others 
 will speak. 
 
 Admission to these Sessions will be by ticket. 
 
 Tickets will be issued to the capacity of the hall in the order 
 of the receipt of applications. Seats will be reserved until within 
 five minutes of the hour of opening. It will probably be neces- 
 sary to limit the number of seats assigned on a single application 
 to two. Special requests for additional tickets will be granted, 
 if possible. 
 
 The return card enclosed should be mailed at once if seats 
 are desired. 
 
 No Uncared-for Tuberculosis in New York State in 1915 
 
NO UNCARED-FOR TUBERCULOSIS IN 1915 
 
 THOUSANDS OF CONSUMPTIVES IN THIS 
 STATE ARE NOW UNCARED-FOR. 
 
 Until within the past two years, outside of New York 
 City, Rochester and Yonkers, no systematic steps were 
 being taken for the Prevention and Control of Tubercu- 
 losis — the leading cause of death, poverty, sickness and distress. 
 
 The State is now awake. 
 
 Much has been accomplished in two years. 
 
 MORE must be accomplished in the next few years. 
 
 THE OBJECT OF THIS CONFERENCE IS 
 
 To put before the Sixty Local Committees on the Prevention 
 
 of Tuberculosis of the State Charities Aid Association, and 
 before the public officials and the people of the State, in the 
 strongest possible light, a comprehensive program for the provi- 
 sion of dispensaries, nurses, hospitals, and other preventive 
 agencies, to be secured in the next five years, to the end that we^ 
 may have in New York State 
 
 NO UNCARED-FOR TUBERCULOSIS IN 1915 
 
 At the same time we wish to put prominently forward a 
 thoroughly conservative and scientific estimate, endorsed by the 
 highest medical authorities, as to what me may expect to accom- 
 plish in 
 
 The Reduction of the Tuberculosis Death Rate by 1920: 
 
 If every County has a tuberculosis hospital or sanatorium by 1 9 1 5; 
 
 If every City and every village has a visiting nurse; 
 
 If every City and every Village of over 5,000 people has a free 
 
 dispensary; 
 If all the living cases of tuberculosis are reported to the health 
 
 officer; 
 If every living case is in a hospital or sanatorium, or under 
 
 proper supervision at home; 
 If disinfection after every removal or death of a tuberculosis 
 
 patient is thoroughly done.

 AWAKENING A STATE. 
 
 Educational Effort in the joint campaign of the State 
 Charities Aid Association and the State Department of 
 Health during the past two years, for the purpose of 
 widely disseminating the knowledge about tuberculosis, 
 has included: 
 
 Campaigns in connection with the exhibition of the State Depart- 
 ment of Heahh in 27 of the largest cities ; 
 
 Similar small exhibitions shown at 78 county fairs and 2 State fairs 
 and in 24 villages ; 
 
 Three hundred and ninety-six public meetings and stereopticon lec- 
 tures have been held at which the total attendance has been 
 248,649, and the total number of speakers 766 ; 
 
 Phonograph lectures on tuberculosis have been given to probably 
 two and one-half million people, who have attended the ex- 
 hibitions and the fairs ; 
 
 1,446,052 leaflets have been distributed ; 
 
 Sixty permanent local committees, including in each case the most 
 influential citizens of the localities, have been established in 
 cities and villages where exhibitions have been shown, with 
 a total membership of 3,087 ; 
 
 Six hundred and ninety-one press notices have been sent out weekly 
 to daily and weekly papers.

 TUBERCULOSIS IS A PREVENTABLE DISEASE 
 
NO UNCARED-FOR TUBERCULOSIS IN 1915 
 
 TUBERCULOSIS CAN BE PREVENTED. 
 
 Of this we are assured by the highest scientific medical 
 authority. Professor William H. Welsh, of Johns Hop- 
 kins University, says: 
 
 " It is in my judgment a conservative statement 
 that at least one-half of the existing sickness and 
 mortality from tuberculosis could be prevented within 
 the next two decades by the application of rational and 
 entirely practicable measures, and I believe we can 
 look forward to a much larger success." 
 
 Boston, New York City and London have aheady cut in 
 half their death rates from tuberculosis. 
 
 Why should not the smaller cities and rural communities, 
 where conditions are more favorable, do likewise ? 
 
 To cut in half the death rate from tuberculosis in 
 New York State, outside of New York City, would mean 
 AN ANNUAL SAVING OF 3,000 HUMAN LIVES. 
 
 Even to stamp out this Disease and save 6,000 
 human lives is probably possible. The fullest and heartiest 
 co-operation of every agency, public and private, and of every 
 citizen in the State, is needed to carry out this program. Every 
 one can help to secure in his own city or county a visiting 
 nurse, a free dispensary, a city or county hospital and 
 other needed relief. 
 
 Will you help to carry out 
 the Program in your locality?
