Excerpt from A Study in the Epidemiology of Tuberculosis: With Especial Reference to Tuberculosis of the Tropics and of the Negro Race

To understand tuberculosis of the temperate zone and of our race it is necessary to know something of tuberculosis as it affects other races which live under different social, economic and climatic conditions. No apology is therefore needed, it is hoped, for this little book, although the views as to tuberculosis set forth in it are not supported by any original investigations of the author. The aim has been, rather, to collect and discuss facts and in so doing to make known to the English-speaking public some of the very im portant but little known epidemiological data which have been published in widely scattered and often more or less inaccessible periodicals and, the greater part of them, in foreign tongues. With this end in view the writer has not scrupled to make copious extracts of papers on the epidemi ology of tuberculosis, mostly from the German, for the translation of which he assumes the responsibility.
