Atlantic City.—Good economic conditions and not health prevention societies is the most effective weapon against tuberculosis, said Dr. Shirley W. Wynne, health commissioner of New York city, in an address to the New Jersey Hospital Association.
"We are trying to take credit for the decline in tuberculosis during the last 20 years," said Dr. Wynne. "Let us not fool ourselves or the public. This is not due to the preventative societies, but to the improved economic conditions under which the American people are now living."
The commissioner attacked the attitude of these societies for their methods in handling cases. He said entirely new methods of combating disease and a more conscientious cooperation on the part of doctors and nurses are necessary to insure the future of public health.
Last fall Dr. Wynne called on housewives to boycott unsanitary stores.
