Tabes mesenterica is tuberculosis of the alimentary canal and mesenteric lymph glands.

Tubercular meningitis is the name of the same disease as it affects the membranes of the brain (acute hydrocephalus).

Phthisis is the term applied to "consumption," or tubercle in the lungs.

But personal hygiene and the prevention of the transmission of the disease depend very largely indeed upon the mass of the population. Hence we hail with satisfaction the recent endeavours to educate public opinion. In order to make this matter very simple indeed, we have placed in a footnote a series of statements embodying some of the chief facts which every individual in our crowded communities should know.[95]
