Excerpt from The Tuberculosis Problem in Rhode Island: A Survey Conducted for the Rhode Island Tuberculosis Association
Passing from the problem of infection to that of resistance, it is clear that in settled communities the vast majority of healthy adults have acquired a relative immunity to tuberculosis and it is highly probable that a failure of vital resistance is in most cases the de termining factor, which transforms a latent infection into active clinical disease. Overwork, underfeeding, illness of other types, alcoholism, industrial dusts, these are the chief agents which cause the lighting up of isolated local lesions into an acute disease process. In dealing with adult tuberculosis, in communities where tubercu lous infection is common, the development of general and individual resistance is our chief weapon. The following measures are essen tial to this portion of the program.

Excerpt from The Tuberculosis Problem in Rhode Island: A Survey Conducted for the Rhode Island Tuberculosis Association
Dear Mr. Phillips:
I am enclosing herewith a report on the tuberculosis problem in Rhode Island, prepared in accordance with a request made last spring by the executive committee of the Rhode Island Tuberculosis Association.
I have attempted in the survey, upon which this report is based, to estimate the extent, and, so far as possible, the character, of the anti-tuberculosis work carried on by various agencies in the State and to measure this work by objective quantitative standards. I have made four visits to Rhode Island, spending two days in the State on each occasion and have visited the principal clinics, hospitals and nursing centers of the State and interviewed the leaders in the anti-tuberculosis movement in Providence, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Newport, the Pawtuxet Valley and Wallum Lake. The statistical material has been prepared in accordance with my suggestions by Mr. Willis E.Chandler, the executive secretary of your association, and I wish to express my warm appreciation of the faithful and effective work which he has done in collecting and analyzing it. I wish also to record my gratitude for the assistance rendered by the officials of the State Board of Health, the State Sanatorium at Wallum Lake, the City Health Department of Providence, the Providence District Nursing Association, the Providence Tuberculosis League, and of many other medical and nursing organizations throughout the State, who have courteously furnished me with data, in some cases at very considerable expenditure of time and trouble.
On the basis of my findings I have attempted to formulate a general program for the development of anti-tuberculosis work in Rhode Island, which I trust may receive the consideration of your association, and of the other official and private agencies engaged in this campaign.

It explores the latest scientific understanding of the disease, including the role of infection and resistance in its development, and discusses the importance of early detection, proper treatment, and preventive measures such as pasteurization of milk. This book offers a valuable historical perspective on the fight against tuberculosis and provides insights that remain relevant to public health efforts today. By understanding the challenges and successes of the anti-tuberculosis movement in Rhode Island at the time, readers can gain a deeper appreciation of the ongoing efforts to control and prevent this disease.
